Mountain School And Your Child THE DAYDREAMER A reader writes: "What makes children day dream in the classroom? "My seven-year-old may to* grade because of it. "What can be done?" A certain amount of day drea ming' is normal for anyone. Dreams can serve as escape, as fulfillment of desire for adven ture and excitement, as exercise far interests and ideas, No harm is done if a frail boy releases pent-up tensions because of his small size toy dreaming that he mopped up the floor with the school bully. A youngster rejected an the ball field might temporarily soo the his ego by dreaming that he out-hit Roger Maris in a home run duel. The slow pupil who can’t keep up in class eases his boredom by dreaming about fishing. We all use fantasy at one time or another as mean of doing things or becoming heroes in ways not possible for us in the real world. | When not overdone, such make believe vents frustrations and helps us to live with outselves. But when an individual HABIT UALLY uses fantasy as a sub stitute for action or refuge from, reality, he's gone too far and should be helped. To assist the chronic day drea mer in facing reality, anxious parents are advised not to treat him harshly. Threats and pun ishment may only make his world of daydreams seem more “real" than the real world. He’ll probably retreat further into fantasy and daydream still : more. A sound approach is to find out what Ms day dreams are be I kng used as a substitute for or a refuge from. The content of a j youngster s dreams should reveal this. For dreams usually relate: to one's everyday problems and! desires. !j • f Parents can try a reading on the child’s dreams merely by ire quiring: 'Want to tell me your thou ghts? Would you like to write down what you are thinking and: feeling?" Usually the child in the ele mentary grades who spends too much time dreaming feels a des perate need to succeed — for oth-1 ers' sake as well as his own. He's generally hungry for more attention and perhaps more love, particularly from adults. Ofter he possesses unrelieved tensions. Once the content of his make believe is discovered, grown-ups < can help provide those things for : which daydreams provide a sub-1 stitue. The next step might be to aid the child is acquiring wider in terests. Help him be with groups: and do more real things. In shoit, the prescription jn-j wives an expenditure of time, patience, and understanding on the part of parents. They must help the daydreamer overcome! what is essentially a lack of self esteem. _ Child Labor Law Is Emphasized j RALEIGH — The Federal Wage and Hour Law prohibits employment of children under 16 years of age on farms during school hours. This reminder came today from State Labor Commissioner Frank Crane. It was directed particular ly to farmers and commercial growers who are hiring workers for spring planting and harves ting. and to all persons interest ed in keeping the youngsters in school until the end of the spring terms. Commissioner Crane said that under the Federal Wage and Hour Law (Fair Labor Stand ards Act), children of any age may do farm work before or af ter school hours, on weekends, and on holidays. Crane also stated that farm children working exclusively for parents or guardians are exempt from the Federal requirements. “This child labor restriction ap plies both to local children and to migrants.” Commissioner Crane added. “The only exception to this rule is that migrant child ren under 16 may be employed on farms in the spring if the school they last attended is clos ed for the summer, even though schools may still be open in the area where they moved to work."j Farmers and commercial gro wers may best protect themselv es against unintentional violation of the Federal law' by requiring from each young person employ ed an age certificate showing that he is at least 16, Crane said. These certificates, which serve as proof of age under the law., may be obtained from Countv j Superintendents of Public Wel fare. Additional information about; the Federal child labor law may, be obtained from the Wage Hour office in the N. C. Depart ment of Labor at Raleigh. 'The Federal statute is admin istered in North Carolina by the State Department of Labor, un der a cooperative agreement be tween the State am) the Wage and Hour Division of the U. S. Department of Labor. fire Chiefs Urge Cantion la Gas Uses America, is on the move! Tra vel folders are being scrutimzer, tires check, tranks packed. The great exodus from city to vaca tion land is beginning. Whichever way you head — to the beaches for swimming, to the woods for camping, to foreign ports for adventure, you will, in all probibihty, travel by car. Gasoline is a highly explosve flammable fuel, the InternatW al Association of Fire Chiefs points out. These characteristics exist outside as well as inside the motor. Thus, the ignition should be turned off during re fueling, and at no time should smoking or lighted matches be permitted in the vicinity of the gas tank, motor, radiator, fuel pipe or battery. Be constantly on the alert for gas leaks, loose or broken gas kets, leaky exhaust or muffler and defective wiring. Have re pairs made at once, lighted cigarettes and matches should never be thrown from a moving car. They could blow back into the car, injuring some one. They could also cause a fire in the upholstery. If they land outside,, they could set off a brush or forest fire. Prevent these hazardous possibilities. Always use the ashtrays. Empty them frequently in a safe place. If an accident occurs, the igni tion should be turned off imme diately. If possible, cut the en gine, if an accident seems immi nent. A racing motor with jam med or shifted wires can cause fire. If smoke is seen or smelled, or flame observed, above all, keep calm. If in motion, drive com pletely off the traveled portion of the road, stop, turn off the ignition, unload all passengers and have those who cannot help retire to a safe distance from the car — at least SO feet away. If in town, send someone to turn in an alarm immediately. If there is a fire in the vicinity of the gas tank, do not approach it. It may explode. Never use water on a motor, electrical or gasoline fire. This is a job for the proper chemical extinguisher, sand, dirt or a blan ket. When the fire is out, have the trouble located and corrected be fore starting the car or another fire may originate from the same source. Do not attempt to extinguish any but superficial fires in the car, and if in doubt at all, await the arrival of the firemen. The fire chiefs strongly ad vise that you have your car checked and serviced before star ting your trip. This extra mar gin of safety' may save you much pain and trouble. Let safety be your byword on the highway. Hilliard Serving With 16th Infantry BAUMHOLDER, GEE. (AHTXC) - Army PFC Lawrence R. HUI-. iard, son of Hoover H_ Hilliard. 4C6 E.
