From The Good World by Edgar A Guest comes: "The Lord must have liked us, I say when I see The bloom of the rose and the green of the tree, The flash of the wing of a bird flitting by, The gold of the grain and the blue of the sky, - The clover below and the tall pines above - Oh, there's something about us the good Lord must love." Robert Loveman wrote in the Rain Song: "It isn't raining rain to me, It's raining daffodils; In every dimpling drop I see Wildflowers on the hills. Cloud of gray engulfs the day And overwhelms the town; It isn't raining rain to me, It's raining roses down. It isn't raining rain to me, 1 VIKINGS AND TRACKS - Leif Ericson's Viking settlement was depicted by Kelly Hern and Sondra Kechnie's project was on railroads at the recent Usborne Central School Science Fair. T -A photo • Poets spring with words Spring is a time of sunshine and rain, budding trees and , flowers, the songs of birds'and the smell of warming earth - a time for poets and philosphers to excel. Henry ' Wadsworth thinking of when she wrote: "I would like to send you the essence Of Myriad sunkissed flowers, Or the lilting song, as it flows along, Of a brook through fairy Odds 'n ends By Elaine Townshend Longfellow wrote: •'I open wide the portals of the spring, • To welcome the procession of the flowers, With their gay banners, and the birds that sing Their song of songs from their aerial towers." An • unknown author philosophied: "Never mind yesterday, life is today! Never mind yesterday, lay it away! Never mind anything over and done, Here is a new moment, lit with new sun." • Sara Coleridge noted: "March brings breezes loud and shrill, Stirs and 'dancing daffodil." Someone else noted,: "A nice thing about spring is that it always says it with .flowers." Perhaps that was what Mary Dawson Hughes was 1101 WINS IN SCIENCE FAIR - A senior winner in the re- cent Usborne Central School Science Fair was Tom Oke with his project showing the effects of varieties of fer- tilizers on plants.

Ruby Archer asked: "Know you how roses came to grace the world? A feather from an angel's pi nion fell, A sunbeam caught and kiss ed it as it whirled, And left it blushing on the world to dwell." Children have difficulty explaining maladies Very young children - especially babies - cannot tell you in words that they do not feel well. You have to see and hear the distress signals. [f yourchildbreathes in cold germs, which are usually spread by the coughs and sneezes of people nearby, you may see a runny nose and hear the cough. Fever, listjessness, poor feeding and swollen glands can also be a part of the picture. . Most colds, even in the first year of. life, are relatively mild. Sniffles and sneezes with some coughing are con= mon signs. Fever in the first six months of life is uncom- mon, and if it occurs the child should be seen by the doctor promptly. After the age of six months children quite often start their colds with a high fever; which may last a day or two before the signs of a cold appear. Although the fever m:'y only be the sign that the cold is on the way, if it lasts for more than 48 hours yota should contact the doctor just in case, there may be a more serious infection pre- sent. Better to check it out. When your child reaches school age, or starts nursery school he or she will be expos- ed to many children with colds. There are no sure ways to avoid colds, but the better your child's general health, the stronger his or her defenses will be to fight off some infections. Usually it takes several days after breathing in the germs before symptoms oit a cold appear. The symptoms may be a sore throat, cough, fever, and a stuffy nose. Headache, body aches and swollen glands may also be present. Once the cold is ful- ly developed, it usually con- tinues at its peak for several days, and then !elf up. There are no known cures for the common cold. If the symptoms are severe enough however, your child's doctor may help to relieve some of the symptoms. A light diet and plenty of fluius are usual- ly recommended and sometimes medications. If the child is coughing it does not necessarily mean that there is infection in the chest. If there is mucus and phlegm at the back of the nose or in the throat, the child will cough to stop the infection go- ing down to the chest. This is what the cough is for. The doctor can tell whether the in- fection has spread' into the chest or is still just in the nose and throat. If a cold does spread deeper into the chest, the infection can affect the sir passages of the lungs, called the branchial tubes. A mild form of lung disease called bronchitis can• occur even without fever and constant coughing. A child who coughs frequently should be seen by the doctor. Be sure to call the doctor if your child has a fever that lasts for more than two or three days, a severe headache, chest pains, hard coughing spells, ear aches, or rusty looking phlegm which he is coughing up. Sometimes what seems to be only a cold can be the beginning of a more serious condition.
