end. The cat apparently wandered
into the building before closing
lime and was accidently locked
in. Several articles in the window
were knocked over before a pass-

local stores was taken out at
the Morrison Dam on Monday,
a group of teenage fishermen
watched from afar while for two
hours truck load after truck load
brought sewing machines, jugs of
milk, wall board, luggage, shoes
and so on.
Then the crowning touch came
when Jack Doerr arrived set up
his camera and in ten minutes
it was all over. One of the gawk-
ing youths sidled up and remark-
ed, "You people must be crazy".
If there's a self conscious smirk
on the faces of the models in the

reason why.

Record potatoes
grown locally
Arthur L. Frayne who experi-
ments with growing vegetables as
a hobby has come up with what
he feels is a record for the size
of potatoes. Growing a com-
paratively new variety, Kenebec.
Mr. Frayne recently dug two
potatoes weighing two pound s
each. The potatoes were grown
in his garden at 251 Carling
Street.
Mr. Frayne probably set some-
thing of a record with a new
variety of potatoes called Canus.
Upon digging up one hill of this
variety he found 40 potatoes of
various sizes, enough to nearly
fill a six quart basket. Out of
five hills lie harvested 103 po-
tatoes. This variety has been
developed as a blight resistant
strain and requires no spraying.
Mr. Frayne has had success
with other vegetables as well.
He has popcorn growing nine feet
tall in his garden.
One of the secrets of success
for Mr. Frayne is the fact that
he uses no manure for fertilizer.
He has found that the use of com-
post is all that is required to
give his garden a good start.

you for that!", or "The kids on
the playground will Soon knock
that out of you!", then Johnny
thinks of his teacher as a club
wielding monster, and "the other
kids" take on the garb of little
hoodlums.
If Johnny needs disciplining,
then let's use some other form
than the threat of school author-
ity. On the contrary, if his par-
ents speak with respect for the
school even though they may
not agree with all its policies —
then Johnny will respect its auth-
ority, rather than fear it.
But how can parents prepare
the five year old to face Sept. '7
with keen anticipation? This pre-
paration cannot, of course, be
left until Sept. 6 — it actually
starts in the cradle.
The little child who has been
encouraged to be curious about
his surroundings, who has shared
many wonderful experiences with
his parents — will not be fearful
of this new experience, but will
welcome it as another exciting
adventure.
The child who has entered the
wonderful world of books from
the time he is a baby will eagerly
await the day when he can make
out for himself what the wiggly
lines say.
As mother or father read to him
the fascinating tales of Little
Brown Bear, Henny Penny, Cin-
derella— the hilarious stories
of Dr. Suess, they may say to
him, "Very soon your teacher
will read this story to you —
perhaps you'd like to take your
favourite book to school to show
her!"
Johnny soon forgets his fear of
finding the right room in the
joy that his familiar book brings
to him. Perhaps the greatest
fear a little five year old has is
that he will not be able to find his
way to school — or to find his
teacher when he does get there.
The wise mother will have
taken two or three walks with
Johnny to school to acquaint him
with the route he is to take. In
many cases an older brother or
sister, or neighbour will be glad
to escort him to school the first
day, and this eliminates the need
for saying good-bye to mother in
front of so many strange people.
(It's easier for you too, mother!)
There are so many ways in
which parents can help Johnny
in his first days and years at
school. First of all be needs to
know that his parents are in-
terested in his progress.
The little lad who brings a
paper home and finds no one
interested enough to look at it,
soon decides that there isn't much
use in trying to do his work
well. But the child who receives
praise and encouragement for
his efforts, will attack each new
task with confidence and enthusi-
asM.
There are many actual skills
which patents can teach Johnny
which will bolster his confidence
in his first year at school.
Can he tie his shoes, button
his coat, zip up zippers, recog-
nize colors? Does be speak clear-
ly, know his own name and his

parents' names? To be able to Say
his name clearly is much More
important than to be able to print
it.
The teacher actually prefers
to teach the child the correct
letter formation for his name, and
after the parents are aware of the
type of priftting being used, then
any help they give Johnny is wel-
come indeed.
It is impossible to mention
here all the areas in -which par
ents can work together with the
teacher to provide the best learn-
ing situation for their children.
However, perhaps the greatest
help you can give your child is
to show him you have confidence
in him then he will have con:-
fidence in himself to meet any
new experience his first day
oryear, at school.
