Priated at Durham, N. 0. Durham Editor Jane Corbitt Erwin Editor. Olive McKown Cooleemee Editor . R. H. Pierce oBt© ANSWER THE CALL The 1952 Red Cross fund appeal comes at a time of continuing world wide crisis that demands a great effort on the part of everyone since military strength alone cannot solve the problems created by this crisis. Many of us take the millions of Red Cross workers and their hu manitarian activities for granted— and few of us realise the many things they do in our name each day—tasks of mercy we would per form gladly if we were at hand or if we knew the need. Each day volunteers in towns and cities throughout the country carry on a staggering program. Blood is collected and made available to the armed forces and to civilian hos pitals; able-bodied and hospitalised servicemen and women are assisted in a thousand ways; disaster suffer ers receive emergency care and shelter as well as long-term rehabili tation aid. Through less dramatic programs of service the Red Cross trains nurse's aides, home nurses, and first aiders, all of whom provide a foun dation for civil defense —self-help. The Red Cross gives our children an opportunity to serve their commun ity, nation, and world—thus pre "parihg~tKem for the responsibilities of citizenship. In the fields of health and safety the Red Cress stands ready to give tts instruction, training, and information. Interna tionally, it helps to make the facili ties and advantages of our country available to other countries and peoples in need. The Red Cross has a far-reach ing effeet upon the life of every American, especially during these uncertain times. Let's do our part to keep the services of the Red -Cross geared to meet the needs of the nation and all its citisens. An swer the call of the Red Cross today so that Red Cross can answer the call of Americans tomorrow. Fieet Aid A total of 1,093,069 Red Cross first aid certificates were issued dur ing the last fiscal year—the largest number since the early days of [ World War 11. In June atone, | 4fi1,4»7 were iseued—roOfe' than the totoV previous year. Military Inektilations A /total of 1,409 Red Cross work ers served 218,900 cases and re quests a month at military installa tions during the last fiseal year, 55 percent more than a year ago. Of these workers, 1,039 were stationed tin the United States and 370 were overseas. Blood Jfeeds Rising In addition to eofieeting blood for civilian use, the Red Cross is acting as the official coordinator of all ! blnod-e»Ueeting for the armed i forces. The Redb&roos enter safety pro gram broke all records last year jwben 788,655 certificates were issued |to students who bad completed jswua ming and lifesaving courses. femiuwiz r * . .*> IL* II ~ Conducted by Editors of the Book House Plan for Child Development Ql. The infant can be taught to hold objects by placing them in his hand. (True or False) Q2. Is too much fuss made over the need for mother and father to agree on how their children should be reared, from the day they are bom T Q3. A child's eyesight should be tested before he is sent off to school for the first time. (True or False) Q4. Family counselors (a) ex pect "too much" of parents with limited incomes; (b) know that al most anything is possible to the parent who is determined to give his child "the best." (Select one) Al. False. The ability to grasp and hold objects is a motor skill that baby develops gradually from about his fifth month up to his first year. By about the fifty-second week, he should be able to grasp small objects between his thumb and the ends of his fingers. A2. No. In fact, not enough stress is placed on the importance of mother and father getting to gether on this matter. Any differ ences of opinion they may have concerning the child's behavior, schedule, friends, table manners, etc., should not be discussed in his presence. "Split discipline" con fuses a child and may cause him to lose respect for all authority. A3. True. Good eyesight and hearing are very important as av enues of learning. Psychologists rceognize their lack as among the main causes for early failure in school. A 4. (b), when what we mean by "the best" is those qualities which educate the mind and nourish the spirit, rather than material values. Perhaps you cannot afford the most beautiful clothes and toys for your child, but you can afford to read the right kind of books to him or to take him to the church of your faith regularly. HINTS FOR THE GARDEN Nothing is lost if the pruning of rose bushes has not been done by now. B»»e.%UBhee can be pruned until tfie sap causes bleeding of the canes. To prune, cut out all old, big canes and if necessary, saw them if they are too big; All jfead ends, dead twigs and dead leaves should be removed. It is important that the first treat ment should be of Tri-Ogen dust or other good rose dust, as the leaves are tender and the dust doesn't bum them as much as the spray. Roees should be lightly cultivated and fed. In the flower garden, be sure to break up clumps of perennials if this has not already been done. Flower seed, both annuals and pe rennials which have not already been planted, should be pot in by the first of April in a warm, pro tected, well drained place. Nandino should be pruned and fed now for good blooming next fall. The Easter Bed campaign is conducted simultaneously in all 48 ■totes, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Washington, D. C. to raise funds for crippled children. TBS KEWDI CHATTER ®4cekfo*t Airtysk nm^jmna S». L—t Ft*q.

Have you mailed in your contribution f : 4 -ZMIW ImJSSw Mr : I«I WBBBBL "-IPW THIS YEAR, April 13 is Easter Sunday. Whether beneath the vault erf a sunrise sky or that of a church, religious services will devoutly observe the Resurrection of Christ from the dead, and re-birth erf hope in the hearts of men. THERE will be, too, (for this land is free), those traditional superficial symbols which date back to the ancient Anglo- Saxon rites for Ostara or Eastre, legendary goddess of Spring: the 'eggs and thtf rfibbits'which denoted life's reproduction, the first lowers of reburgeoning Earth, projected today into new finery and hats. *' •' . t \ IN THESE bright tokens, however, the deep and holy sig nificance of Easter should not be lost. Neither should we forget, in marking the Resurrection, that there is something our country and all who cherish it stand today gi?atly in need of— a spiritual re-birth, a national regeneration of tporals and men. What WMM YOU DI? (Courtesy of "Your Child's World," child guidance magazine published by THE BOOK HOUSE FOR CHIL DREN.) Lillian, age seven-and-a-half comes into the kitchen where Mother i»- Jmkiag-a* -ewke,, aadr bored with play, wants to help. Sending her to the basement to help Father is out because he has just sent her up to help you. If you were Lillian's mother, what would YOU dot a. Suggest some game for her to play by herself. b. Let her watch you in your ac tivity, explaining to her what you are doing. c. Let her busy herself in helping with such things as handing you items, taking dishes to the sink, etc. d. Give her some ingredients to mix for herself. e. Let her help in the mixing, pouring of ingredients, greas ing the pans, etc. At the risk of some difference of opinion because the best psychology may net necessarily be the best way to bake a cake, alternative (e) is recommended. Lillian is old enough to be competent in supervised par ticipation and the success of the venture will not only give her a {tense of achievement but be educa tional as well. For this same reason (d) is not recomended here though a flour and water mixture might be appropriate for a younger child. (e) is not recommended because it may be too dull and discourage the skill, (b) would almost certainly he dull, (a) is a method of getting rid of the child, maybe. However, parenthood should have more posi tive goals thin simply avoiding nuisance.
