: Volunteers For

By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Pk.D.
SEVERAL times in this column,
I have discussed the youngster
from a months to about 2 years
who d jmands constant amusement
by the mother. Recently, I have re
ceived letters from many mothers
with one child from 2 to 4 years of
age (maybe also an infant) who
say they are wearing themselves
ragged trying to amuse their tots.
A large proportion of these
mothers are wives of service men,
who are trying very hard to guide
alone their little child happily. The
way is harder for some of these
mothers because they must live in
with their relatives or in close
charters, alone.
Wife Writes
O.ie wife of a service man, for
t-vr mple, wrote that three families
cf little children shao a common
kitchen, each family living in a
Eirgle bedroom. Another young
mother say? she and her infant live
in two rooms and finds it difficult
to cultivate good sleep habits in
this child because when guests
come they must assemble where
the child sleeps.
More or les3 regardless of the
housing conditions, many tots who
can roam about the house want to
Le amused constantly by the moth
er. However hard-pressed for time
and energy, the average young
tiother, sometimes in self-defense,
docs spend hours every day enter
taining her tot.
Developed Resources
N'o'.v the child from 2 to 4 should
have acquired far richer resources
f-'i- seli'-anmscnient than when he
v. as hut a year or so of age. He
can cr.rry and pull things about,
lit tliingM of all sorts together,
a.-': r;j"s!:ons and do many things
while following his mother about
the ho'.i-c; he can look at pictures
in r. in ".gazim; and may have some
playmates. Having been read to,he
may Le able to invent all soits of
yarns of fancy, and play at make
believe, alone or with another child.
Yet, this child may demand
amusement by his mother almost
constantly. He just begs, cries,
whines till she succumbs to his
wishes. This mother's experiences
day in and day out are wearing,
the more so if she also has an in
fant to care for and even must do
all her own housework.
One mother writes that when .-ha
sits down to sew or read, her child
may climb on her lap and push hr
book and sewing away, if she dues
not respond to -his wishes prompt
ly. Then, if she has company, tins
youngster may make still bigger
demands on her and, if he can't get
her attention by gentle ways, h
will force it by some nuuirhu.ne:;-.
Even when she telephones, he mr
torment her till her conversali'.n
ends.
Correction Advised
This mother, for her own good
and that of the child, nee. Is to pest
a schedule and follow it. By his
schedule the child will have to wait
20 or 30 minutes before the mother
will read to her, make things for
her and the like. Then the m t:hei,
after giving the child 10 or 15 mi.i
utes, will resume her work f t an
other stated period.
By and by the child will find
that her demands won't ciiang
her mother's plans, and she will
hit on ways at self -amusement. Of
course, the mother rarely will ba
too busy to answer this child's
questions and enjoy her creations.
This appreciation will encourage
the tot to go on nt creative play.
A certain mother set aside a
morning to correct the telephone
problem. She talked to an imag
inary person so she could disci
pline the youngster effectively, as
signing her to sit in a chair for
20 minutes for interrupting her.
However, if the youngster learns
"to wait" under normal con'lilioni-,
she should not be so difacult v ' ;
"emergencies" arise.

IT MEANS
A LOT
mcrrKtowrr.
fear tkdnt ivM
Yes, when eleclricity goes to work on a farm il
makes a lot of difference. It increases the profits of
the farm. It makes easy many jobs that were formerly
drudgery, and it brings more, comfort and conven
ience into the firm home.
For example, take only one farm job pumping
water and here is a true story. On one farm they
used to pump 15,042 gallons of water every year
and walk 124 miles to carry it where it was needed.
Then they installed an electric pump and water sys
tem. Last year they pumped 4,909 gallons more water
than ever before and nobody walked a mile to carry
it. The pump cost $100 and the electricity to run it
cost less than 25c a month.
But that In only one use of electricity. There are
many, many others all of them labor- and money
saving. Plan now to fully electrify your farm and en
joy the benefits no other form of energy can give you.

"Lot of truth

Why is there a lot of truth in the slogan,!

Because the rails of the 8,000 -mile South

West Virginia, in all that vast urea east of
Mississippi and south of the Ohio and Potw

And because serve means "to work for; ton
