Dear Girls:— j 1 heard a friend, several days iag-0, laughingly tell of her small •daughter's worry over money mat ters. It seems that the father's sal ary had been cut but that he was still very comfortably fixed. The little daughter, however, ihad been hearing her parents dis cuss the reduction and had come to the conclusion that the family were in a terrible state. Each day when "the father came home to dinner the^ little girl's first question was, "Did you make any money today, Dad dy?" Personally, I think it was very un fortunate that she was allowed to 'worry over the family finances so much. Children worry over some -things a great deal more than grown ups do, and this child's anxiety was eo unnecessary. Now, I certainly do not approve •of letting children spend extrava gantly and live ahead of the family "budget in order to allow them to ■dwell in a fool's paradise of luxur ies. This is equally as harmful as making them pinch pennies when \ there is no reason to do so. ! I remember one woman of my j acquaintance, whose husband's nose j stayed to the grindstone and who | was harried and distressed over bills each month, who let her chil dren have every desire granted. They spent more money and wore finer clothes than their companions whose families were far wealthier than theirs. This woman said that she never discussed whether they could or could not aford anything with them as she wanted them to grow up care free as regards to finances. That at titude seemed very, very foolish to me for if there is one thing children should be taught it is the value of money and particularly those chil dren who have to make their own living when they grow up. It seems to me a very unfair thing not to teach a child how to spend or save and then when he is grown expect him to acquire this knowledge over night, as it were. And we can teach this habit with out great worry for them. The truq art in teaching children the value of money is to let them enjoy their spending and saving—not to be dis tressed over it.

Lana Turner's first film since her marriage will be "The Reform er and the Redhead," according to MGM. Her last picture was "The Three Muskateers," which was com pleted months ago. Twentieth Century-Fox wants Fred MacMurray to remain at their studio after he finishes work on "Father Was a Full-back," for "Spare the Rod," a comedy which Frederick Hazlitt Brennan is adapt ing from a story by Gwen Daven port. It deals with the family ad ventures of a child psychiartrist. Inprrid Bergman leaves soon for Italy where she will appear in a film to be directed by Roberto Rosse lini, director of "Open City," and "Paisan." The film is scheduled to start about April 1st and will be made in ten weeks bn a budget of approximately $174,000. Miss Berg man is to share iij the profits on a partnership basis. The story of the film, which is as yet untitled, will be about an English-speaking dis placed woman who marries an Ital ian fisherman and goes to live with him on the island of Stromboli, off Sicily. When Charlotte Greenwood fin ishes, "Oh, You Beautiful Doll," for George Jessel, she may resume her role in the play "I Remember Mama." Abbott and Costello want her for a picture. That would be quite a riteam, wouldn't it? Ida Lupino's sister, Rita, has been signed by Paramount to appear in "Red, Hot and Blue," with Bil ly Daniels, dance director of the pic ture, who will do a dance sequence with her." The film, "I Remember Mama," was chosen through a poll of the 1,500,000 readers of Christian Her ald magazine and the United Church Women's Clubs of America, repre sentatives of Protestant denomina tions, as the "best family picture of 1948." Miss Irene Dunn was pre sented a plaque from the Protest ant Motion Picture Council for her excellent performance in the title role of the film. A story around the last days of Mussolini's life, now titled "Dawn at Dongo"—Dongo was the place where Mussolini died—is being de veloped by Bob Buckner and will probably go into production when Buckner finishes "Desert Legion." Eddie Cantor is looking for a studio to film his life story. The deal with Warner Brothers, to make his biography, is "completely off," according to Cantor. Cantor had two specifications in connection with the film: 1. It had to cost at least $2,000,000; and, 2. It had to be in color. Warners, undergoing a serious shake-up, wanted to post pone such an expensive film at this time, but Cantor declined and so, the deal was off. Nankeen cloth is said to derive its name from Nanking, China, where it is said to have been first manu factured. STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKERS ] ! !
