"As soon as the rush is over, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. I've worked for it; I owe it to myself Wand nobody is going to deprive me of it." That's a motto discovered in a catalogue. Perhaps each of us should hang it in our office or our home, in some spot where we can often read it. We should also ask' ourselves, "When will the rush be over? What if the breakdown comes first?", Today'S world spins at a frantic pace and we're trapped on the merry-go-round. Another phrase caught my eye: "Blessed are they that go around in circles for they shall be called Big Wheels." Maybe we're too intent on running in circles to notice the direction in which we're heading. Do you want to be i big wheel? I don't. I'd rather be a small wheel rolling at my own speed and in the direction of my choice . Sometimes we long to shout, "Hey world, slow down a little! Let us catch our breath." We know the world won't wait for us, though. Why should it? Contentment is a precious commodity that few people possess, but each of us must realize our limits. We should choose our personal goals and travel at our own pace.We must also determine what we value most highly in life. The simple thi'hgs in this world oft en bring our most treasured memories. By J.D.Scott Mac Issaac LET'S PLAY DOLLS A Miniature Puppet Theatre " Instead of buying expensive hand pluppets why not let the child use this simple plan out of an empty box and his fingers as puppets. Materials 1-empty large box used to contain detergent soap flakes - several different colored water color marking pencils or a set of water color paints 1- pair of sharp pointed scissors Instructions 1. Cut off completely the end of the box you used to pour out the soap. This should normally mean the long side of the box. • 2. With the pencil draw a square on one side of the box, leaving a border around the box approximately two - three inches. 3. With the water colors decorate the sides of the box. 4. Now, the puppets come by simply painting faces onto the fingers of the child. To use the stage hold the box with one hand while the other one becomes the puppets. This is best used by two or more children. Scientists have found indications that even among the most primitive civilizations of mankind, children have played with dolls. Today with all of the advances made by man since the time of cavemen, dolls are still one of the most popular forms of toys for young girls and boys. For years, boys were not given dolls to play with because our society had classed dolls as things for girls only. Today there are alMost as many dolls sold for boys (although they are called names like GI Joe) as for girls. - Since dolls have been around for so long ,and because of the large part they play in the play development of every child'there must be good reasons for them. Especially in the light of how much today's dolls cost. Firstly, dolls form a type of play called symbolic play: With this a child uses an object as a symbol to replace another object whidh is missing. In the case of dolls the child uses the doll to replace a human being. When playing symbolically the child is able to recreate real life situations which usually take'the form of the family with one doll being father, another being mother and the rest as children. By playing out the family scenes the child is able to do at least two things;define the roles of the two sexes and secondly work out any frustrations which arise within the child's own family situation. In the working out type of play called formally "cathartic play" the child uses the dolls as punching bags for any sort of 4 problem they are trying to work out. For example, when a child has spent some time in' a hospital, there are bound to be psychological problems which arise. Normally, in doll play the theme of the hospital is a favorite and in it the child is able to play out his problems. With dolls children are able to live out their dreams. Every body dreams of being a big strong hero and dolls such as GI Joe •let him be one. Girls also have dreams of being beautiful star*, with dolli they can become one. Finally, dolls provide the child with hours of creative enjoyment and certainly this needs no explanation. When buying dolls for children , parents should look for certain things. 1. SturdineSs. Any doll must be able to take a great deal of punishment and if it is easily broken you are wasting your money and when it is broken, causing unhappiness for the • child. 2. 0. penness. A doll which does everything fnr the child is not a good doll. The doll should be a source of creativity and imagination, but when all that is required is that a child simply pick it up and push a button, little or nothing is gained. 3. Cost. Usually Et doll which costs a fortune is one with all kinds of built in tricks. Since these usually break after the least amount of abuselyou are better off buying a cheaper less complicated doll. with dog, cat, pup and kitten photographs.

But a good breakfast, they point out, isn't necessarily a big breakfast. Gone are the days when people had the time and the inclination to wrestle with chops, steaks and kidneys in the early morning, or to quaff a feW jugs of ale with the morning meal as the Elizabethans and the Tudors did. Getting the right nourishment at breakfast has to do with what you eat -- not with how much. And a nutritious, enjoyable first meal of the day can be light, simple and easy to prepare. The secret is to take on fuel in the morning. Not ballast. A cup of coffee and a piece of toast may leave you with the feeling that you've had breakfast, but they don't contain enough nutrients to see you through to midday. Chances are?' if you're like many" of us, 'you'll make up the deficit with mid-morning snacks -- cookies, candies, or doughnuts, perhaps that are high in calories but low in real nourishment. So why not start the day with the foods you need for health and energy. There are plenty of them.

The idea, nutritionist say, is to strike a balance -- eating something from the five main categories of food: protein, fruits and vegetables, milk or milk products, bread 'and cereals. Here are two examples of simple breakfasts that contain those nutrients: unsweetened pineapple chunks, grilled cheese and bacon on a hamburger bun; another one: applesauce, toasted ham sandwich and milk. So have a good breakfast: It'll make your day. Patients—were also earried out with members of the' staff taking part. Mrs. John Thompson and Mrs, C.

Relaxation is vital to everyone. For various reasons, though, we restrict it from our routine. Listening to a favourite song on the radio breaks the work pattern of our day. Strolling through the countryside to breathe the fresh air or to observe nature requires time and energy. Enjoying the grandeur of 'a sunset consumes precious moments of daylight, which could be devoted to labour. Hearing a child chatter about his pet frog tries our patience as we count the tasks we must perform. When work awaits us, an idle conversation with a friend seems pointless. Work, however, represents a form of escapism from the earth's unpleasantness. Plunging into our jobs leaves us little time to worry about the starving people around the globe or the problems of our next-door neighbours. We don't realize how we are abusing man's inheritance or consider the heritage we are creating for the next generation. We can't imagine the state of our lives in one, ten, or twenty years. Sometimes it's easier to tackle a workload than to face the harsh reality of the present and the uncertainty of the future. They that go around in circles• shall be called big wheels. Perhaps they will avoid feelings of anxiety and guilt, or they ma y only prepare themselves for an inevitable breakdown.
