Don’t Plant Fear In Child’s Mind « Children are not born with fear* of normal things. A small child will not fear the dark or other normal conditions unless older members of his family show a poor exampl?. A very loud noise close to him may startle him but unless he sees other* showing fear of thunder, mice, in­ sects or darkness, he probably won’t be frightened. Never at any time should a child be threatened with horrors such as. the bogeyman and he should never be put into a dark room as punish­ ment. Such action could result in fears that might last a lifetime. Teaching the child to talk over with his parents or teacher any real or imaginary terror, will allow the fear to be analysed and its threats dispelled by a patient discussion. His fears should never be ridiculed—to him they are very real. "Mother, what is a trousseau?” inquired a puzzled six-year-old. The mother looked across the room at her husband hiding behind his paper and said, "A trousseau is the clothes the bride wears for six or seven years after she is married.” •lltHHIlintlllSIIIlitlllliniHlllIlHilMItlfllBIKtHtlltiliilllltllHlC BILLIARDS for guaranteed s WATCH REPAIRS Mrs. Allen, Bell, of Detroit, spent the Christmas week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Smith and with Mr. and Mrs. Ralph McCrea and Mr. and Mrs. James La­ mont and Dale.

Lock the secret in your heart. Let family or friends think the luscious casserole was a spur of the moment idea to use up last bits of the bird. Only you need know that the condensed cream of chicken soup, canned or frozen peas, and bag of potato chips so handy on the shelf were part of the strategy. Of course, it’s wise to stock up on staples, regardless. For if appetites ex­ ceed their usual bounds or extra guests arrive, the chicken may disappear at meal one. In that case, you can still treat the family to a “planned-over” casserole the next day by chicken or turkey. Or p want to pull out the reci day when company staj. time. It can save the meal situations.
