They can watch television for a while, but sooner or later mother will want them to have a change of pace. After the dishes are done and the beds are made, it is a nice. time for mommy to sit down with her brood and introduce them to the adventure of a good story or picture book. Librarians who know the do's and don'ts for story tellers advise that stories should be short. That means no more than ten minutes long. It is wise for the story teller to be familiar with the tale—and to relate it as if she is interested. She must have the sequence of events in the proper order and tell the story slowly, remembering that pauses are important. If she is using a picture book, she must know it well enough that she can look at the children while showing the pictures, Most important of all, please don't read or tell a story in a hum-drum ho-hum voice and manner. The children will sense you are not interested, and chances are they will lose much of the joy and closeness the story hour can afford. * May I solicit your aid again?

Wornen's groups from all over the county donate all kinds of items suitable for Christmas gift giving. These can range from children's toys to cosmetics through writing paper and neckties. • On an appointed day, residents at the home are given a stipulated amount of play money. They go down to the auditorium at Huronview where all these "gifts." are gaily displayed and "shop" until their supply of money is exhausted. It is a wonderful way for the fixed-income residents to obtain small Christmas gifts for their families — and it is a marvellous opportunity for Huron County women to participate in Christmas for our elderly citizens. Additional information can be obtained from the supervisor at Huronview — or from Women's Institute members throughout the district.
