TOP ‘PICK-UP’ TRAINING
Mothers who have to stumble
over extra toys in the weeks fol
lowing Christmas are probably
asking themselves “who says there
was a toy shortage this year!’’
Which brings to a favorite topic,
how to teach children to put away
their playthings.
The basic plan for the teaching
is sound, but it takes persistence
and ingenuity to put it into effect.
(So we’ll restate the theory and
then give you some examples oi
how other mothers have earned it
out. First you must provide time
for picking up toys by giving am
ple warning of the end of the play
period. Second, putting away the
things the child has been playing
with should, from babyhood, be
taught as part of the game.
Too often parent* make
cleaning up appear to be a
penalty rather than a natural
part of play. We've used be
fore the illustration of chil
dren sliding downhill on their
sleds. They may not enjoy the
upward climb after each thrill
ing shoot down the icy path,
but they accept it uncom
plainingly as part of the
plying this principle to playroom
ulying tdis principle to playroom
straightening was told by a mother
who had almost despaired of get
ting her five-year-old daughter
Enid to put her toys away neatly.
Then the mother thought of ap
pealing to the child's recently
awakened interest in playing
sjooq uodo }|inq .taipnj aim asnoq
shelves for one wall of Enid's
room and enameled them in pale
blue. Then the mother showed
Enid how to arrange her toys on
the shelves in interesting and col
orful groups, jusf as she herself
had odd bits of china and glass
placed attractively in corner cup
boards. At first the mother helped
but after a week or so Enid took
over alone. Now all the mother
has to do is admire her daughter’s
arrangements and discuss color
and balance with her. Enid is ab
sorbing some of the fundamentals
of decorating, as well as learning
that putting away toys always can
be as much fun as hauling them
Another mother who is particu
larly clever about allowing for tin
time element tells us that she
watches to see when her childrens
interest begins to lag in the toys
they are using. Then she suggests
that they rut those away and get
out something different. If it is
near mealtime or going-out-doors
time she suggests something sim
ple—a doll or toy animal which
will be easy to put back or can be
carried out doors. We have her
word for it that she hasnt pickeu
up a toy since the plan was put
into effect a month ago.
Finally, there’s the very practi
cal suggestion of homemade trucks
for toys, each marked with the
type of toy it is to hold—one for
the blocks, one for mechanical
toys, amt one for crayons and cut
outs, etc. These trucks can be
made from wooden fruir boxes.
Reinforce each end with a strip of
wood and put a furniture caster
in each corner. Better sandpaper
the box inside and out to remove
splinters, then paint each a differ
ent color. Keep in mind (ana show
in voice and manner) that chil
dren like to pile things in a toy
truck. And don’t wait until they
are too tired before you suggest
that it’s truck loading time.
Yes, the theory really works, if
you use your imagination in ap
plying it!

The Childhood of Jesus.
Lesaon for January 7, 1945:
Matthew 1—2.
Memory Verae: Geneaia 28:15
The first quarter is devoted to
Studies in Matthew. The writer
was a Jew, concerned to show his
own people that Jesus fulfilled
their ancient prophecies of the
Messiah. In the first lesson and
throughout the Gospel we find
references to scriptures fulfilled.
After tracing the lineage of Je
sus and telling of His birth, Mat
thew gives a terrible insight into
the character of Herod. Resolved
to murder even an infant who
might later aspire to his throne,
learning the place where it was
predicted the Christ should be
bom and probable time of His
birth, Herod pretended a desire to
worship Him. Foiled by the Wise
Men, Herod had all infants of two
years and under in Bethlehem and
environs killed in the hope that
Jesus would be included.
Meanwhile, directed hy an angel
in a dream, Joseph fled with Mary
and Jesus into Egypt. We do not
know the incidents and the length
of the sojourn there — only that
after Herod's death an angel hade
Joseph return "into the land of
Israel.” Learning that Archelaus
reigned in Herod’s stead and “be
ing warned of God in a dream,”
Joseph did not venture to go into
Galilee.
Judah but went to Nazareth m
Meagre as are the records of
the Childhood, they show how God
led those who lived near to Him
and in harmony with His will, in
the noblest task parents ever had
—that of watching over Him who
would become the Saviour. And

Edear Abernethy, Stanley, plans
to cut selectively approximately
ifteen acres of timber. The trees
will be'marked and scaled, har
vesting only the mature trees.This
system of cutting timber gives the
highest return and shortens the
time for the next harvest and it
keeps the land producing mercn
rntable timber continuously.
Approximately 100 lbs. of les
pedeza bicolor seed were recently
harvested from a seed production
plot on the W. D. Anthony farm
located near Chapel Grove school.
These seed will be allocated to
District cooperators in seeding
field borders. Bicolor lespedeza in
combination with sericea makes an
ideal seeding for field borders on
the edge of the woods, for control
of erosion, the complete utilization
of field edges that otherwise pro
duce nothing and furnish excel

fence to get to it.” He has it
fenced off to control the grazing
and has difficulty keeping them
out of it to allow it to grow out
again.. Kudzu makes excellent

Quick freezing makes meat

about the “tenderizing”.

not permitted to freeze. A frozen

BEHIND THE SCENES
„ ||| AMERICAN BUSINESS /
' NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Mounting
casualty lists and unexpected pro
longation of the war with Gei ma
ny have restrained the enthusiasm
with which Americans are wont to
celebrate the dawning of a new
year. Yet there is much that this
country can rejoice in as it con
templates the outlook tor 1940.
Our fighting forces have packed
into one year a record of military
and naval accomplishments unpar
alleled in history. They are better
clothed and better fed than the
fighting forces of any other na
tion, and, with minor exceptions,
their equipment is superior in
quality and quantity to that of the
enemy both in Europe and in the
Pacific.
At. home, civilians too are the
best clothed and fed of any civil
ians anywhere, despite shortages
and the necessity for stricter rat
ioning.
PRODUCTION FORCES IN1ACI
Moreover, agriculture and in
dustry—upon which nations today
:'iust place greater reliance than
in any previous war—have, in
America, been unscathed by ene
my occupation or enemy bombs. |
The superior industrial and agricul
tural machine which America pos
sessed as early as World War 1
and has since built up to much
greater proportions, is prepared
to maintain with undiminished
vigor the vital battle of produc
tion.
This is the keynote of the year
end statements of our leaders m
many lines of important home
front endeavor. “The automobile
industry will not have to chart
its course for 1945,” says J. F.
Frazer, president of Graham
Paige Motors."It is the same which
has been followed so diligently for
the past three years—win the war
as quickly as possible by produc
ing fighting weapons on a scale
unequaled in the nation’s history.’
The potent industrial force which
America has mobilized to the point
of being a decisive factor in the
drives of the United Nations on
every front is symbolized in the
miracle that has occurred in rub
ber. This is brought strikingly to
our attention in the year-end state
ment of John L. Collyer, president i
of the B. F. Goodrich company,
who says that America’s war-born |
synthetic rubber industry emerged j
in 1944 as the major source of the i
nation’s rubber supply, account- j
ing for 80 per cent of the year’s ■
consumption. ‘ i
Even more significant, ne
is the fact that synthetic rubber^
production has climbed
is the fact that synthetic rubber
Even more significant he says,
mere 6,000 tons in 1941 to » >»
of 800,000 tons, which is taster
than this nation ever consumed
rubber, even in .be *“;«?•
ord vear of 1941, when 781,000
tons were used. The number one
problem of the rubber mdustry
now and in 1945, Mr. Collyer
points out, is not raw material,
but how, with the manpower avail
able. to build the material into
sufficient war goods to meet the
desperate needs.
Aluminum ‘Over The Top’
if rubber were not enough,
we can nlso view with pride the
country's achievement in multiply
ing bv several times the capacity
for production of the vital war
and aviation metal, aluminum. In
fact, says I. W, Wilson, vice-pres
ident of the Aluminum Company
of America, the industry in 1944
went far enough “over the top” in
supplying needs of the United
States and its allies to permit the
WPR to close down entirely a
number of government-owned alu
minum plants, releasing thousands
of workers to the shell producing
plants ami other critical industries
which need them badly for the fi
nal, all-out victory drive.
Even with substantial concur
rent reduction in Alcoa’s produc
tion, aluminum is still being made
in this country at a rate three
Because of its availability, adds
times that of the peacetime peak.
Mr. Wilson, aluminum during ’44
was not only returned to those
military uses for which other ma
terials had been substituted, but
was, itself, substituted in many
cases for other materials less plen
tiful in supply. The new year, he
says, should see growing amounts
of aluminum going into the semi
military and civilian uses which
must be expanded as rapidly as
manpower may be safely diverted
to their development.
FOOD OUTPUT STABILIZED
Meanwhile in the vital matter
of food, John A Hartford, presi
dent of the Great Atlantic & Pa
cific Tea comnany, foresees pro
duction in 1945 being fairly well
stabilized at last year’s level, and
beieves it is time to begin giving
increased attention to the task of
retaining currently expanded mar
kets for farm produce in the days
of peace.
