" Protects of this kind an an investment in the community Q ""O' The first blast of the huuri cane blasted Florida’s Gold Coast between Fort Lamb rdale and Palm Beach, causing great damage to the fabulou estate- along the l>. nh. It then rampaged Inland, destroying property but fortunately not causing many deaths.

If Child Favors Left Ha nd

By Herman N. Bundesen, M D. PARENTS sometimes are upsetl by the discovery that their child is left-handed. This is useless worry because, other things being «M|tial. the left-handed child will get along as well as his right-handed piaj-l mates Since, however, this b- a' right-handed word, he may softer a little inconvenience as he grows , older. For this reason, some doctors 1 suggest that all children should J»e taught to use the right hand tor writing when first entering school However, if the child objects or shows signs of nervous strain. <>ii<* of which may be stuttering, effort* to have him use his right hand should lie stopped Two fat tors influence handedness. environment and heredity. In other words, left-handedness may run In families. The effect of the surroundings on left handedness is shown by the fact that today more than nine out of ten adults use the right hand, yet In early civilisation, half of all weapons were made for left handed persons Futhermore two out of ten kindergarten children prefer the left hand In other words, the fact that equipment, tools and tßstruments are made for righthanded persons causes the great majority of individuals to use their right hands tor work and other procedures. The fact that left handedness persists may be due to a number of thing*- seek as temporarv disableteat of the right hand pr the rluld s mutation of a left banted

the more prominent candidates for the nomination are Samuel Jackson and Alex Campbell, both of Fort Wayne, It's little early to start any ball arolling — o o Strive For Goal The community has a magnificent offer, and a challenge as well, from the Central Soya Company, whth will donate SIOO,OOO if an additional 12V0.000 l» raised totally for a proposed Community Building and Youth Center. And from l"J'»0 lips. Is heard a community .Thank You for the substantial donation. The Company's genuine offer was made to the Decatur Memorial Foundation. Inc., a nonprofit organization formed by civic leaders to receive gifts and promote a local campaign to raise fund- for a Community Center. This community-wide campaign would be the answer to the challenge, and its success or failure would state in corresponding dcgri • the fervor and < ivi. d- ire of citizenry in r< sped to acquiring an instrumentality that should enhance the joy of living in Decatur. De.-atur i* not the richest community in the country, but it has w.-ndi rftll. generous people While no campaign of like proportions ha- ever b< for. been made our pee,pie have never failed to meet past challenges for donations and gift . < intribu tlons tee th. Community Center fund should be considered a- an investment in community Ilf. Funds raised will construct a building that will add zest to living in Decatur, erect a living monument to veteran- of all wars and conveit a rat infested city dump to a 'liowpla.-e- in tit.- community. The- architect's picture of the proposed building i- real, and can be fully carried out. if funds from industry, busin. -s firms. Individ uals and croups are- invested in the Community Center In his letter to Carl C I'utnph rey, president of Deca’ur Me mortal Foundation. Dale- W. McMillen. founder and board chairman of th»- donor company, stated. ' Your program is an amid tlous one-, but witll the whole hearted support of the. commun Ity. Including ail of industrycommercial Institutions and each individual. I am certain that th. program can be carried through with complete success." Mr McMillen, has pointed th. way to meet his company's chai le-nge. Condensed, it means unity of purp. se and ardent determination on the part of everybody to bring to fruition the dream of having a Community Center The demon has unshakeable confidence in Decatur and its people. If we have equal confidence in ourselves the goal can he- reached.

sister or brother or parent. The ’ child may have a negative attitude. that is. he always says "no” to his parents' efforts to teach him to use his right hand Faulty training may !I ea factor. For example, the pari ents may misinterpret the use of both bands by the child as preference for the left hand, or the pari ents may always hand an object to ' the child's left hand. fiisturbatK es in the speech, such as stuttering, and trouble in read ing are not likely to develop in a i child who is strongly left-handed They are more likely to occur in a person who is ambidextrous that is, a person who uses both hands equally well. Changing the writing habits of an older child from right to left handedness may. in rare Instances lie of help, if he is strongly lefthanded in his other activities and has trouble in speaking and writing. It is suggested that the lefthanded writer should be taught in the beginning to use the paper slanted downward to the right and to use a slightly backward slant to his writing.
