But to the people of many lands, banger is a constant companion. clock,” Dr. Richardson continues. “From centering attention on techniques of child care and train ing, leaders in this field have now come to place their main emphasis on the relationships involved in living together in a family. Studies have revealed that parents’ atti tudes and personalities and the way they feel about their children, play a much more important part in a child’s healthy development than does any set of rules which they may follow in bringing up their children.” Director of a children’s clinic in Black Mountain, and a fellow of the American College of Physicians, Dr. Richardson has lectured in nu merous North Carolina cities and is a prominent pediatrician in medical circles throughout the country.

ARMY HP’s ENJOY “BREAKFAST IN BED” At last it’s an actuality! Four Army cooks on the island of Cheju-Do, off Korea, had their Long-in-service wish come true. They had “breakfast in bed.” When two American Red Cross clubmobile girls made their reg ular fortnightly visit to the island, they asked the cooks of the 59th Military Government company what recreation suited them most on their days off duty. One of the mess men jokingly replied: “Breakfast in bed.” The next morning, while the whole company watched, the two Red Cross girls brought steaming breakfast trays to the cot-sides of the amazed KP’s. Enoelhardts Contribute To B. M. College o—— Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Engel hardt, of Birmingham, Alabama, parents of the late Harriett Engle hardt. a former Black Mountain college student, have made a gift of over $2,000, the entire amount of their daughter’s estate, to the college. The money will be used in memory of her. She was killed on October 26, 1945, in a jeep ac cident in Germany. At the time of her dea,th she was serving overseas with the American Red Cross. Part of the sum ’ represents a contribution of the Japanese- American 522nd Field Artillery Battalion, with whom Miss Engle hardt had worked for several months; part was a personal gift of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Lobman of Birmingham, friends of hers; the major portion of the estate consists of her earnings as a war worker and Red Cross representa tive. In recognition of Miss Engle hardt’s interest in weaving, the memorial project will be a col lection of textiles to be known as the Harriett Engelhardt Memori al Collection. The material for this memorial is to be collected under the direction of Anni Albers, who was Miss Englehardt’s ad viser when she was a student at the college. In order to display the textiles, both ancient and modem, part of the gift is to be used for the purchase of exhibition show cases. These showcases will be placed in the art room at Black Mountain college until the col lege is able to build its own mu seum. Take Weed Trees From Woodlands o Farm Forester John E. Ford of Wilkesboro says that one of the first steps in growing a good crop of timber is to have trees of good timber quality and that, for this reason, “weed” trees should be removed. To correct the situation of too many weed trees in average wood lands, the Wilkesboro chamber of commerce, together with the rep resentatives of the State College Extension service, is holding a for estry field day on December 4 for 52 farm boys of Wilkes county, selected upon the basis of their interest in improving forestry con ditions in the area. These boys represent 10 of the leading high schools in the coun ty. They will be shown how to properly thin young timber, how to scale and estimate volumes of standing timber, and how to se lectively cut a stand of timber along with other good forestry practices. At the close of the day there will be contests, and prizes will be awarded. All of the boys will be eligible |o receive 1,000 tree Seedlings each to plant on the home farm and these trees are to be donated by the chamber of commerce.
