from their victory over V.'aynes
ville with a "terrible" defeat by i
Lee Edwards. The Bears made a
last pleading effort ,at the end of
the game to catch up with the Ma
roons. but the lead was too great.
Ashvllle School became the "prey"
of revenge for the Beers Saturday
night. This week-end Will be the
test of ability far the Bears as they
play some real stiff competition.
Best of luck. boys.

Tell A Child Early
II He Is Adopted
By DOROTHY V. WHIPPLE. M.D.
AP Newsfeatures
All the experienced people who
know about adoptions agree that
an adopted child should grow up
with the idea that he is adopted.
Sooner or later he is bound to And
out. If the knowledge comes sud
denly it's apt to be a rough blow.
If the child is young when he learns
from someone outside the family
that he was adopted he is apt to be
fearful that since he was cast out
by his own parents he may be cast
out again by hla present parents. If
he is older when the sudden knowl
edge comes he may be resentful.
"Why did you lie to me? How
cgn I trust anything you say?"
But how and when to tell a
child?
It's impossible to give an exact
answer.
Try to talk about the adoption
in a nutter of fact way. Don't
. J
conceal it, ever. But at the same
time, don't feel forced to drag it
into every conversation.
There are many times when the
fact that your child was adopted
can be brought in crsuallyr-"No. I
didn't breast feed Nancy. It's sort
of hard to breast feed an adopted
baby!" Or vhen someone tells you
Nancy is the image of her father
you can say "Isn't that lucky ?
she's adopted, you know!"
Before long Nancy herself will
pick up the word and you'll get
"What's 'adopted' mean, Mommie?" ]
And you tell her:
"Adopted is one way Mommies
and Daddys get a little girl. Your ]
Mommie and Daddy wanted a little
girl with yellow hair and blue eyes, '
just like you. We went to a place :
where they had a lot of babies and t
and the lady showed us the cutest i
little girl you ever saw. She looked
right at me and yawned and I pick
ed her up and hugged her. Daddy i
said "That's the girl for us:" And 1
we took her home and here she 1
is our very own Nancy" and you '
give her a hug as you say it.
That's plenty of a story to begin
with.
Later Nancy will learn that a
baby grows in the mommle'a ab
domen. She will probably ask if
she grew in yours. Answer truth
fully "No. you grew in some other
woman's abdomen and were already
for us when we picked you out."
When the point first comes up it
might be just as well to avoid the
use of the word "mother" for the
other woman. Let the child become
accustomed to the idea. She may
like the story of how you got her
and want it told over and over.
When Nancy is a little older
she will probably ask you "Whv
did my first mother give me away?"
There is always a bit of fear in
this question. If it happened once,
couldn't it happen again?
Answer truthfully ? "I don't
know, Nancy dear. I'm sure she
didn't want to. but I know there
was some very important reason.
But weren't we lucky to get you,
and we are your Mommy and Dad
dy forever and ever now."
An adopted child, like any child,
needs to feel loved. The adopted
child needs a little bit of extra
reassurance that she is secure in
her hbme. Give her reassurance
casually but warmly.

Heat Cuts Grades
NEW YORK (AP) ? If your
youngster's report csrd is poor,
maybe you should blame the heat,
not the homework.
Zephyrin A. Marsh, an expert
on heating and father of seven
Alldren, told a meeting of educa
tor, that overheated classrooms in
a majority of the nation's schools
are dulling the learning capacity
Of grade school children.
Marsh, director of school activi
ties for the Minneapolis Honey
well Co', says 20 to 30 youngsters
packed into an average classroom
will generate enough body heat
to warm a five room house in
freezing weather. JThia heat, he
aays, is the principal cause of over
heating which makes pupils
drowsy, inattentive and difficult
to instruct.
