Page 2 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, October 31, 1953 TOT TALK It takes a lot of know how to liamlle the kids in a kindergarten. A .■successful kindergarten, that is. like the one at Christ Episcopal parish house, where Anna Gillikin ami Celia Ferebee hold forth. Asked by The Mirror which pre sents the bigger problem, guiding little boys or guiding little girls, Anna had no definite conclusion to oi ler. “It runs in cycles,” she said. “One year it’s the boys, and the ne.xt year it may be the girls.” Generally speaking, however, Celia and Anna have learned from long experience with pre-school tots that there are certain emo tional characteristics typical of each sex. A majority of the cnil- drcn run true to form in this re spect. It will probably surprise you to read that little boys, as a rule, are more inclined to be tattle tales than little girls. Men have often insisted that women can’t keep a secret, and are back-biting gossips b,\ nature. On the basis of what happens at Christ Episcopal kin dergarten, it would appear the fair sex doesn’t develop this tendency to an emphatic degree until later life. When little boys at the kinder garten have their difference with 01 her little boys ,they behave as they do at home in their own neighhorhood. They try "'to settle it with their fists. Of course, with Anna and Celia around to preserve peace, they don’t get very far. Little girls, when they feel that they have been the victim of a real or imaginary wrong, usually keep their suffering to themselves. More easily offended, they are inclined toward getting off to themselves and pouting, sulking or sniffling, as the mood strikes them. Much has been written about heredity and environment, and the influence that each exerts on a child. In the final analysis, children are individuals, and each in his or her own way remains unregiment ed and unpredictable. It will be a sad and unfortunate day for the world, if the time ever comes when children all think and act alike. Too many adults fit into this very dull category now. Anna and Celia have had ]|ids of their own, but more important in their kindergarten chores is the fact that they have a genuine love for kids who aren’t their own. Therein, we believe, is the secret of their success. FOR GOOD FOOD & REFRESHMENT, It's The Wiggly Pig DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS THAN THE BEST Robertson's Welding Service 1107 N.

DARN THOSE PLANESI Wichita, Kan. — Johnnie Eli, of Wichita, Told that he became con fused by circle drives at Munici pal Airport and suddenly noticed a plane trying to crowd him off the road. The j)ilot of a DC-6 passenger airliner, starting to take off, slow ed his plane just in time to avoid hitting Eli’s auto on a runway. The plane came so close to the car that the pilot noted its license number and radioed it to the control tow er. P.S.—Eli was booked on a charge gf drunken driving.

Oldsters in this supposedly enlight ened era still refrain quite care fully from walking under a ladder, (lighting three cigarettes on a match, or taking a room on the thirteenth floor of a hotel. We want no part of a black cat crossing our path, and invariably wonder if we really are doomed to seven years of bad luck when we break a mirror. As a matter of fact, the average adult is just as apprehensive passing a graveyard on a dark night as the savage who quakes at the pronouncements of a weirdly dressed witch doctor . - Few of us openly admit that we believe the stars influence our lives, but yet countless New Bern- ians on this very morning turned to the horoscope column in the Ra leigh News and Observer, or some other newspaper, and sought to learn whether today was going to be a good one or a bad one for those born under our sign. All of us swear by hunches, not knowing why. “What happens twice happens three times,” we tell our selves and our friends. And, the funny thing about it is the fact that it does, more often than not. Yes, New Bern’s adults are a fearful lot. So don’t snicker at Junior or little Susie, when they get breathless and wide-eyed over the prospect of witches and gob lins and ghosts tonight. Don’t scold therp on other nights either, when they’re afraid of the boogey man. As long as grown-ups remain fearful of their own collection of goblins, it would seem, in all fair ness, that kids have a right to get scared too, in their own little The Dutchess Dies To End Long Reign The Dutchess is dead. Her reign of 17 years over the home and the hearts of Mayor Robert Lee Stall ings and his family ended this week. She departed with dignity and serenity that had characterized her nine lives, and though she was only a cat she left a void that won’t be easily filled. A gift from a Dutch sea captain during World War JI while Robert ert Lee was serving in the Navy, she was very much a part of the Stallings family, and had been pub licized in The Mirror and the State press.. THE CALL OF DUTY Nashville, Tenn.—Dutifully fol lowing his instructor's directions, rookie policeman Clyde Evans wrote himself a traffic ticket do ing a police department class on ticket writing. The ticket somehow reached the traffic bureau, and a Warrant was issued for Evans’ arrest when he failed to appear in court.

The underweight needs plenty of whole milk and a proper bal ance of protein (meat, fish, eggs cheese) and starchy foods (bread rice, potatoes, macaroni, etc.), plus some fat and plenty of vitamin- rich vegetables and fruits. She needs sugars, too, but should in clude these in her regular diet. What about height? Improve pos ture helps enormously to overcome height problems. The short girl will seem taller and may actually add an inch or more to her stature by holding her head high and standing straight. Even the tall person will gain in attractiveness by overcom ing her natural tendency to slouch. Watch your friends, your class mates. Notice how those with good posture stand out in the crowd.
