Plan a Reading Program
For Your Young Child *.
|y GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS. Ph.D. I
FORTUNATE the child under
six or seven whose parents often
read to him, summer and winter.
No better way to cultivate in him
good habits of concentration,
stimulate his imagination, give
him more to think about and
talk about, and foster fijs ease
and forcefuiness of expression.
The child of school age whose
parents encourage him to read
for pleasure the year around is
also lucky. And how wonderful
when these older children and
their parents often read to one
another, or just read for hours,
each person from a different
source, in the midst of the family!
Many Gains
Wise parents of elementary
school-age children, and pre
school youngsters plan a daily
reading program for them,
whether they can read or must
be read to. When an older child
reads to the child much younger
than himself, he may gain in
reading skill, and both he and the
young listener in companionship.
As I have often said, there can
hardly be a better way to help
the poor reader than to induce
him to read aloud to a younger
child. i
There are so many interesting
and attractive books appealing to
children at various age levels to
be bought at the local book stores
or borrowed from the public li
brary Summer is a good time ior
you parents to go with the child,
especially the young child, to the
public library The librarian is
always glad to have you and your
(CopvHffht. 1944. Kinf !
child look at many books and I
borrow those which appeal to j
your child.
Use Discretion
Unless a child can read very '
well, he may tend to choose a
book too hard for him, on the
basis of its pictures, ff you merely
ask at the library for books meant
for the average child of your
child's age, the books she shows 1
you may be too bard. Many a poor
reader taking home a library
book will soon abandon it because
it Is too hard for him to read with
ease.
On the other hand, some books
easy enough for this poor reader
may strike him as too babyish.
Fortunately, many books can be
found in the library whose read
ing content is easy but still ap
pealing to the child's feeling of
grownupness.
It Is a real gain when children
above the first or second grade
often go to the library and find
interesting books Some of them
may prefer to go alone; others
will go more surely and more
often If one of their parents goes
with them companfonably.
With television commanding so
much time of both parents and
children, there Is danger that the
reading habit won't grow. And if
parents don't read a great dea'
themselves for pleasure, theb
child also Is less likely to do so
So the problem of cultlvatinr
the reading habit at home i.< J
growing more Important the'
ever There hardly can be a goo
substitute for reading.

Old Smoke-Eater
DOVER. N. H. (APi ? This city I
of 15.800 thinks it has the oldest
active firefighter in ?he nation.
And in his 59 years on the de-1
partment, 81-year-old Joseph
Heeney recalls he missed only one
bell alarm of the some 2.000 sound
ed during those years. A case of
pneumonia a few year; back cous
eci nim to break his record.
Recalling his narrowest brush
with death, Heeney said lie and
three other firefighters entered a
basement during a 1933 lire. With
out warning an uppe1- lloor co'lup
ed. blockins their exit.
Just as the quartet was about to
give up hope of escape, a gas ex
plosion blew them off their feet
When they regained consciousness,
all four were spraw led in the street
outside, injured, but not seriously,
by the blast.
House Troubles
MIAMI, Fla. (APi ? So you I
think you have troubles?
Asking for a tax reduction on
her house, a young woman who de
scribed hreself as a family bread
winner gave the tax equalization
board these reasons:
The house is falling down.
The furniture is coming apart.
Noisy trucks drive past at all
hours.
Noisy airplanes fly over the
house.
Nobody will buy the house un
der any conditions.
Recent research indicates that
the common impression that ath
letes develop enlarged hearts and
die young of heart disease is false.|
