A Common Problem

By Harman N. Bundesen, M. D. IT used to be that whenever baby began to suck hie thumb, mother got busy with the atilt cuffs. You couldnt begin too early, ahe felt, to break up a bad habit. Today, doctors believe that you can You can not only begin too enrly. but. by the wrong methods, you can make the habit worse than It would have been had you left it f alone entirely. i Every mother should understand to begin with that so far as I baby is concerned, sucking l>> a natural and Instinctive thing f|< la given the instinct to suck In order to get Ma food. Satisfied at Mealtime It has been suggested that if 1 the baby s instinct to suck is satis- ' tied at mealtimes, he will care less to suck his thumb and observation 1 tends to bear this out. for bahice. ' who take their milk quickly are much more likely to develop thumb-sucking than are those who dawdle a little over their bottles If these facts are correct, the ' beat method ot keeping the thumb- ‘ sucking habit from developing is to provide longer and more fre- ‘ quent opportunities for the baby to nurse. * In the ease of the breast fed ’ baby thia would mean letting him ' nsrw as long a# he wants to do so. rather titan stopping after a pre- ’ scribed number of iniuutea. In the oa«e of the bottle-fed baby, If too befits to suck bls thumb aid is emptying hie bottle rapidly, nip- ‘

further recognition ns a widens akc community. ——o o There is much sorrow here because <>f the death of the Rt. Rev. 1 Msgr Thomas M. Conroy, rector of the Catholic Cathedral at Fort Wayne. Death was caused hy a I i oronary occlusion and came unexpected He had participated In lh<> ; closing of ib-hour devotions and was visiting with guests at the rectory when he suffered the heart seizure. Rev. Cogfoy was a wonderful man in many ways, a frieud to all, an eloquent and effective i speaker, a leader and a splendid Christian gentleman who loved his community and carried more than his share of the burdens. His death is deeply and sincerely regretted by people of all faith* who knew him and the good he performed ——o o 4 Word From Columbus It s a long time sinue 1 whim ' Columbus sailed the ocean blue. It would be a thoroughly surprised Genoese sailor if he were now to steer the Hants Maria into New York harbor — or Baltimore, i Quebec or Montreal. All those pco- : pie and their strange new ways of i life? Considering how much is owed to Christopher Columbus by us all — Canada, the United States and the nations below our borders i — little t* known about Columhtis the man. But one thing we do know, and to that we owe our homes The guy had persistence He began when very young to dream <>t the voyage, the short route to India. In spite of discouragements and disbelief poured ovi-r his head by almost everyone who heard him talk about It. he never let go the dream Through | youth and Into middle age he I still hung on. I Finally he neared success. Isabella of Aragon financed the fainous voyage. time more he came so near disaster that he felt the wind from its garments. Once more he conquered, Despair bad gripped the crew They mutinied, demand ed that he turn back "Sail on!" replied Columbus, facing the unknown. “Sail on! Sail on!" It's a good time to take a leaf from that book. Do we want peace and a settled, stable world? Or do we want instability and wars without leasing? It's going to take guts to get peace. It will take bard work and self-denial and a will to hold fast the main principle hut to let the other fellow have his way about smaller matters. It's going to be hard to get the world we want. Many will be the discouragements and mutinies. What would Columbus say? "Keep on.” he'd cry. “Never give up. Try again after all hope's I gone II "Keep on! Keep on. Keep on.

plea with smaller holes in them may he used on the bottle. By the time the baby is a year old he no longer sucks his thumb to satisfy the craving for sucking but, rather, he does it as a comforter. Then he Is most likely to suck his thumb when be is tired or just before going to Jeep. In the <ase of a baby two or three years old who has the thumbsucking habit, it is hii|M>rtaiit to make sure that he has enough playthings and room to play; that he is kept busy and active. This in itself inay help overcome the thumb-sucking in some eases. No Divert Effort It would appear that many physicians believe that no direct effort should l>e made to stop the habit by punishment or nagging or keeping the child's arms stiff at the elbows so that he cannot get his flngon into his mouth. These things seem only to make the habit worse. If the child is let alone, as time passes the thumbuuckUw habit will, as' a rule gradually disappear. Many parents, of course, worry about thumb-sucking because they think it may lead to making the child’s teeth crooked, but even this should not lead them Into doing those things which will make the thumb-sucking habit worse Instead of better. In other words, ft would appear that the boat trmttincut for thumbmtekfug In not to pay tbo much attention to it.

CHA ITER SEVENTEEN THEY LEFT the ground* and Airry turned and drove rapidly along the main road, turned again, and entered a winding, irregular road that rose to a ridge, overlook* ing the foothill*. There were a few scattered houses here and aome wide, sloping field*. He pulled off into one of them, and stopped the car. He spoke her name, harshly. "Abby?" He took her in his arms and kissed her. She could feel him Shaking. she heard his voice saying -razy, wonderful things, over and over, and hi* voice, too, was out of control. A deep, penetrating delight rose within her It was as if detached, outside herself. It had nothing to do with the satisfaction of hu* kiss, the warmth and strength of his body, the instant, almost painful response of her own. It was part of these, but it was beyond them. It had to do only with herself. It had to do with a knowledge more marvelous than the acceleration of pulse, the fever in the blood. She told herself, He belongs to me. It was an almost savage awareness, as if she had been bom blind and, in darkness, dreamed of light, Imagining it, feeling the warmth of the sun but never seeing it, but knowing always that the sun was there. Now, she saw. Barry belonged to her; and because he belonged, she could immerse herself in him, she could be one with him, beyond the body's union. She found that she was crying, almost without tears, hard, harsh sobbing, sudden and uncontrollable. Barry held her close. He said, frightened, "Abby, for the Lord's sake . . . darling, what is it ?" He had heard wounded men cry like that . . • going on for a moment after they were hit, or falling, Immediately, and silent, and then, suddenly, the rending sound that had not much to do with pain as with shock. Abby made a desperate effort. She fought the sobbing and whimpered a little, like a child. She said hoarsely, unsteadily, "I’m sorry, but I'm so happy." “You’re happy?" he said, his hands on her hair. It was satin to the touch. He wondered that it did not bum with a pale flame, one which you could feel but which did not hurt you. She said, "Now, I can love." It was a curious thing to say. He did not remember it, until long afterward; that is, he did not turn it over in his mind, examining and weighing it. He said, "Look ... we must do a little planning as it's perfectly obvious that your father hates my guts." Abby said, "He wouldn't express it quite that way. But he doesn't know you and," she added, “he says 1 don't." "Nuts to that." Mid Barry cheerfully. "What eIM has he against me?" She Mid, “I don’t know.” But her heart hammered and she thought. I must tell him . . . now. She did not. She heard him say: "It eas t be money. I’ve my Ml- I ary and a supplementary in«s>» from my father's estate. There’s i 'also my mother's, but X hope she 1

I can vote, in November, as I’ve had New York residence for yean . . . But, it isn't much of a flat. Would you mind?" "Os course not," she said. She had heard nothing, except would she mind if she lived where he lived. Absurd question. She was not concerned with money or politics or with his interests outside herself ... her concern lay only in what wa* happening now, and what would further happen, to them mutually. He Mid, “We can drive somewhere tomorrow and get the license. It’s a flve-day wait—l looked it up after I left you thia afternoon. You have to be married in the town in which the license was procured. We’ll pick one that hasn't a newspaper." She Mid, "AU right." He took her by the shoulders and shook her slightly. "You sound as if you were talking in your sleep," he complained. "Take a little interest, will you? We're planning an elopement." He stopped. "Or would you rather be married at homo or in church, all that sort of thing?" he asked gently. She Mid, "No." "If you're thinking," ho Mid, “that your father would raise thunder, we could bo married from Mother's place." She turned and clung to him. "No," She Mid. “No!

"There’s been enough public marrying in my family to last a couple of generation*." He laughed and held her hard against him. “So I'll look at the road map and we'll drive up tomorrow.

His arm was around her instantly; he was drawing her dose again, and she submitted. She did not cry now . . which wm strange, he thought afterward. She leaned against him, waiting. He said, "You can’t let that frighten you, darling. It doesn't mean that you—" "How do I know?" ahe Mked passionately. "If thia makes any difference to you, Barry—" She wm praying, in her heart. She was saying, Let it not make any difference, please, please. He Mid, "Why should it? Don't be a little fool. He was probably trying to frighten you. Yes. that’s it. Otherwise, why wouldn't he have told you long before this? After we're married we can talk to doctors about it, get their opinion, if it would make you feel any better. And anywAy, it's matrimony that we're rushigg into, not parenthood. You're just a kid," he Mid. "There's plenty of time.” He had been shocked, but he hsd rallied. Old women's tales. The heck with it.

It wm hardly more than a glorified diner They were alone tn it except for the counterman, the short-order cook, the man at the bar. and a couple of customer truck driven. Barry and Abby Mt at a rough table under a low ceiling festooned with artificial lesves and ate friedegg sandwiches and dranx coffee. “1 for one," said Barry, "need no intoxicants.
