Wise Handling of Baby's Early Fears

By Harman N. Bundesen, M. 0. It is the moat natural thins in the world for children to be afraid. In fart, two fears. the fear of loud noises and the fear of fallinw. Seem to lie Inborn and every tiny baby will display them As time goes on, these feara will be lew marked and others will take their places. Thus each age baa Its own particular fears and parents should recognize them for what they are, stages in growth. For instance, the fact that u five or six months old baby cries when a strange, person comes near him simply shows that he has already learned to tell the difference lietween the accustomed and the new between friends and strangers. Ossi Wisely Os course, all this does not mean that parents should ignore or disregard a baby's fears. On the other hand, they should learn to deal with them wisely so that they will not become set or ingrained. but will vanish as the baby's growing knowledge and experience gradually leach him their groundlewmess. Now, a baby's knowledge Is largely inad« up of half-truths. By the time Im- Is a year old. be has learned that his parents, particularly his mother, are the source of ail comfort and all safety. If she go«w away. even for a few mo ments. he la apt to feel insecure, forlorn, ami Uelptew Hf J® 4 ’* yet developed the ability to look •head, sad go be does not realize

i Chemical Exposition held recently in Chicago, a distillery the size of a kitchen stove turned out dally ' • seven and one-half gallons of I9*> proof alcohol from three bushels of corn. The procaaa need Is known I as "add hydrolysis". This alcohol 1 Is suitable for uso in tractors. —O—O The Bluffton street fair, always good as these events go. Is In progress this week and the town . is jammed with people according ' to reports Indlcatlvu of the • , change In times Is the increased 1 cost of entertainment. The rides ami swings that used to gather In the nickels and dimes from the; kiddies now cost twenty five and thirty-five cents. Well, the public , likes the noise and the features tnd many visit the exhibits, inert old friends and relax and the Wells county show is as good as I can be found in the entire mid west. o— ■O— Crowded New York New York hotels were able to come up for air during the summer when the natives went off on vacations and out-of-town business people stayed away if they could. But the respite was brief. Now things are worse than ever. Hotel keepers are under more pressure than during the war. They hesitate to practice eviction, so customers overstay their five-day limit for lack of any other place to go. and there aren’t any rooms for the new patrons who made reservations in good faith. Convention delegates and "hotel gypsies," who are obliged to live i in one hotel after another, are no help to the situation. The Traveli er* Aid Society, Y. M. C. A. and Y W. C. A. are at the end of ; their ropes, and all-night Turkish liaths arc beseiged with person.* ■ looking for a spot to stay in till morning. 'i All in all. it's a good time for people living other places to be thankful for the roof they have ami do th<-lr New York business by mail and telephone. —o—o The political campaign is opening in Indianp and will soon be in full swing If then- ever was a time when you should give careful thought to how you wifi vote, it s this year of 1946. The world is topsy-turvey, we have won the war but we must still secure peace. We must deal with world problems and with domestic affairs, never more difficult. We need matured men of wisdom who are able to think when grave questions arise in congress and the legislature, we should have capable men and women handling the affairs of government, local, state and national. Plan to vote and if you are not registered, please attend to that duty at once as October Sth is the last day you can qualify to vote in November.

. that she will soon return. He only knows that she is gone and that with her all light and warmth and comfort have vanished from his , world. This is the i< ason why babies of about this age lend to cry every time their mothers leave the room. Some mothers feel that, at this i age, the baby should be kept in a I play pen, out of harm's way, while ■ they go about their work. This may be a very bad idea. , because it tends only to increase i the baby's feeling of anxiety and insecurity and thus to make him i more and more dependent on his ■ mother. I Baby on Floor I According to Dr. Benjamin Spock of New York, it may be a much better plan to let the baby out on the floor. Then, if he wants i to lie near bis mother he can creep i or walk to her. After he in with her for a while, he will be satisfied and then will probably move away . Into another room. Slowly but ! surely he will increase his independence and will no longer cry when his mother Is not around. As I have said, when the baby h lietween six months and a year of age, he may liegin to develop a fear of strangers. If this is allowed to continue, it not only will cause trouble when he begins to mingle with other children, but may even carry over into adult life. The best run Is to give the baby plenty of opportunity to get used to outsiders. pnrticularly other children.

House Committee Continues Probe Giant Small Firms Called ToTestify Wwihlngtoit, Sept 26 (I PI— The house merchant marine commlttee to.lay turned Its war pro-; fits Investigation spotlight on both a giant and a mighty midget In the shipbuilding business Committee counsel .Marvin Coles planned to call io lb* stand officials of flethlehem-Fairfleld shipyards. Inc., one of the biggest of the wartime shipbuilders, and the Ft Johns River Shipbuilders Corp., one of the smaller ones. The Bethlehem organization. a<I cording tj maritime commission data, received profits- -before taxes, renegotiation and other charge offa —of 152,906.950 Its initial capital Investment was shown as 11,000.OVO. Committee records also show that the St Johna firm was Initially capitalised at |6<>o and received gross profits of |2.03 rt ,(;m) <>r 316,666 percent on the capital Invertmen! Witnesses representing other shipbuilding firms have protested vigorously to the committee against introduction of figures drawing* a comparison between Initial capital investment and gross profits. Henry J. Kaiser, ameng others, said this comparison waa unfair because it failed to take Into account the various factors that tended to reduce the profit figure sharply. So far, the investigation has failed to hit any sensational pay dirt. Virtually every company appearing to date has been able to show that Its profits represented only a fraction of one percent of the cool of each ship built. At least one, the Kaiser co., Inc., biggest of the western industraillst s four companies, presented evidence purporting to show a ioss of >11,000,000 instead of millions in gains. Coles, who has found himself relegated almost to the role of spectator by the persistent, lengthy questioning of witnesses by Hep. Alvin F. Welchel, R . O. said he hoped to wind up by nightfall with the presentation of the eases involving the last eight of the 19 firms under investigation. If Colas is successful, the maritime commission officials will gel their day tomorrow. After that the committee will adjourn further hearings until after th- elections in November. __
