Spanking Makes Junior Feel Like a "Big Shot"

By HERMAN NL BUNDESEN, BLD. NOBODY likes war. Nobody likes a bully. Yet, when you spank a child in anger, you are, in effect, declaring war on him and warning: “You must obey me because I am bigger and stronger than you.” The child knows that already. Not Deliberately Naughty Your youngster doesn't lie awake nights deliberately trying to think up ways to be naughty or to aggravate you. If he gets boisterous when you visit a neighbor's home, or climbs on the furniture at the home of a fussy friend, he's merely trying to at* tract attention. In a moment, he Is transformed from j ust a "little ' guy” Into a “big shot," the center of attraction. Spanking him will only prove that he has successfully got that attention. Then how are you going to make-hfm behate when you are <n® In company.? . An Easy Way There's an easy and very effective way, if you are willing to sacrifice a few hours of your visit for a night or two. Tell him: "If you don’t stop that, we are going home and put you to bed. Not because you're bad. but because you’re tired. If you weren’t tired, you wouldn’t act this way.” If the tot Isn't tired, he will probably settle down and become a little gentleman.' However, if he continues to act up. you must follow through with vour warn-

Partly because of slippery streets and partly due to carelessness, there were a number of traffic accidents in this area over tHe week end. With the approach of winter and slippery streets driving will be more hazardous for the next several months. Take a little more time; drive a little more careful and get there in one piece. ■C.-<— o_—o With the arrival of December, , Decatur will join communities all trover the nation, in observing she holiday season with parties, gift ' ' r’- ' exchanges, funds to provide for the needy and many other holiday functions. There is another important phase of the Christmas season; God’s gift to us. Christianity. To show proper appreciation of that wonderful gift, merely making an annual contribution* - to a Church isn’t enough. Active participation in a Church program should be part of every Christian’s goal every year. ——o 0 - * December 10 is Human Rights day. “TBo day is observed in all countries with membership in the United Nations assembly by resolution in 1948 of that group. It is a day set aside to impress on all people that by international observance of human rights, the reward will be lasting peace. It’s an easy day to observe. No funds are raided; there are no parades. It is just a day when every citizen of every country should think a little about freedom and how it is accomplished. Freedom “is our heritage. The' reward for human right? is peace. o o *' Judge Myles’ F. ‘ Raffish'" Has ' called the grand jury for a session December 7 and 8. That body will have the duty of inspecting the Court House, county infirmary and jail. Criminal cases brought to the attention of the jury also may be probed. When the body meets next Tuesday. Judge Parrish will instruct the group “concerning its duties and obligations. A grand jury is drawn for -each term of court, but all of them-are not summoned unless there is something Unusual to be investigated. The November grand jury, however, always is called to make the annual public buildings inspection.

ing and take him home and to bed. Ybu may have to leave a gathering early once or twice, but your child will soon learn that he must be orderly when he goes visiting if he doesn't want to be whisked home before the fun is all over. Now. right here, let me give you parents onejjf the most important pieces of advice I have. And this comes from my own experience in raising six children and helping raise 14 grandchildren. It is that you must uphold each other in front of your children. No Blind Obedience Youngsters should not be made to obey blindly because of fear. Some of'them are pretty hard to scare anyway. But when you tell a child to do something, your spouse should uphold you in every way possible. If one parent says "No” and the other says "Yes,” a child will simply go from one to the other to get what he wants. . How can you dxpect obedience in a situation like this? QUESTION AND ANSWER A. R.: How should I treat a sty? Answer: When a sty first forms, the use of cold compresses sometimes is helpful in preventing its development. Later, hot compresses may be necessary to hasten the appearance of pus. If too much pus forms, the sty may have to be lanced.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO NORMAN put his arm around Cynthia, drawing her gently toward nim. She did not resist. she should nave. But again, why should she? He found her sweet mouth, and his kiss was much longer, this time. She did not try to keep him trom kissing her, either. As before, she found herself almost visibly shaken, afterwards. “I asked you not to—” she began. ' . - „ "Surely Fve waited tong enough." .His arms still held ner close. In the soft glow from the rosy embers, her face was lovely. All her sweetness, her fineness, showed in it. "1 don’t believe I’ve told you how much 1 love you,” he said. "But it 1 could find all the words there are in the dictionary, they could not say it. 1 love you, Cynthia. 1 love you with all that is in me; and 1 know that it shall always be this way. 1 shall never stop loving you." She could not help being moved by his words. It was s beautiful way to say I-love-you, and the words ne was able to find said it conytncingiy. She wished she could say to him. And 1 love you. But not unless she was certain. For the first time, she wondered if it could be possible that what she felt toward Walt might not oe love. She admired nim so much, respected ms ability; they nad worked side by side for so long Could one confuse all that with love? Should not iove be reciprocated to be experienced tn full ? "You don’t have to tell me, yet.” His eyes smiled back into ner troubled ones now. "I'm not trying Ito sweep you oft those sturdy teet i of yours. 1 love you so mucn 1 can 1 wait until you know your own | heart. For 1 don’t believe you do, i Cynthia.” ‘ "You may be right," she admitted. . ....... "You didn't mind njy kissing you!’’ His eyes teased her, and his tone was his lighter, gayer one again. “Be honest, my sweet. You rather liked it, didn't you ?” She had to smile. She had to concede that much. “Weil, 1 wish that doctor of youra would hurry up and make love to you, so you could find out if you like his kisses, his lovemaking. as well as nunc.” How did Norman know that Wait had never kissed her? - Norman kissed her once more—lightly, this time—then he let her go.

horseback riding. "We’ve seen everything we can on toot. There are some trails f’d like to show you, so you’ll know all of Pleasantridge,” he added. Cynthia said she would love IL She nad not ridden in a long while. The only thing was, she had nothing appropriate to wear. "That’s easy,” he said. “You can borrow anything you like from Mom. I’ll speak to one of the maids. Have ner trot out a few. Blue-jeans or jodphurs, whichever you prefer. Mom s taller than you, .but otherwise they should fit.’’ Cynthia said that would be fine. She said that she also was looking forward to attending the little cnapel in the near-by village which ms father had told her his father, Norman’s grandparent, nad built. “In fact,” Cynthia said before saying good night, “I've enjoyed my week end so much, every minute of it, that 1 know 1 shall be sorry to have to leave tomorrow afternoon." "You wouldn't have to.” His eyes held that look she had come to know so well. "This could be your home." To take away from the seriousness into which this nad led them again, and so as not to leave ner feeling that ne was presuming too much, ne finished lightly, laughingly, "Ln short, you may consider that a proposal of matrimony, Miss Cynthia Doyle. If you like, I'll even put it tn writing.” “Tliat won’t be necessary,” she replied, smiling, too. Yet she was moved by nis earnestness, ms having done her the honor to ask ner to become his wife. For it was an nonor. Norman was ■ fine man. She could admire and respect mm—and yes, perhaps become much more attached to him in a shorter time than she cared to admit. And she thought, before she went to sleep that night in one of the lovely guest rooms of Pleasantndge, that Norman nad given her an idea She nad thought sfie would give .up trying to jolt Walt out of his shell, make him award of her as a woman. Hut surely any woman, U she tned hard enough, could make almost any man kiss her, couldn’t she? That comparison might indeed be just what she needed. So that she would know her own heart. Cynthia had no conception as to what Elizabeth Brandt had tn mind for the clinic. Norman nad told ner that she could count on its being a very large order; one that would cover everything and continue indefinitely. And when the two women had the ariangcd-

Napier in the absence of the defendant, who defaulted. Complaint Sustained The complaint to set aside default judgment filed by Frank Imrie against John L. DeVoss,' executor of the Catherine Sackett estate, has been sustained by the court. The court previously had sustained a motion to strike the defendant’s plea in abatement to the complaint.

Skeleton Identified As Indianapolis Man INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The skeleton of a man found in an isolated spot in southwestern Marion county 10 days ago was identified positively today as that of 68-year-old Harry Luther Jones. Jones, who had been ill for 15 years, was identified through clothing, dental work and a shotgunfound near <the skeleton. He had been missing from his Indianapolis home since April.

tor conference In Mrs. Brandt’s study, Cynthia found that this was indeed true. "My idea is to form a board of governors, and later, a board oi directors." Elizabeth got right into the subject, without any preliminaries, as soon as they were seated. "I nave already spoken to a few people—some that you met here at Pleasantridge, others after chapel services this morning. 1 found a most enthusiastic response." • ’ Cynthia was properly impressed. Yet she refrained from comment-’ mg until tier hostess had finished outlining the rest ot her ideas. "Thia will be necessary to maintain the administration ot tunas after the additions nave been built," Norman's mother continued. "Norman nas arranged the benefit, wmch should bring tn sufficient money to pay tor the play and school room. 1 nave already nad fifty thousand pledged by these interested friends of whom 1 Just spoke—" "Fifty thousand!” Cynthia no longer could maintain a polite silence. that was an incredible sum. Elizabeth Brandt seemed to consider it a drop tn the bucket. She smiled and waved a careless hand. After church, she had changed to a tweed skirt and a white cashmere sweater. “There wt'Z be much more than that," she aWiured the wide-eyed young nurse. “It will take much more to build an indoor pool, to employ the necessary attendants and increase the staff. Then ot course the ooard will have to set up a yearly budget to mpet all expenditures, and there should be a surplus tor emergencies.” "It sounds wonderful," Cynthia said. She still telt overwhelmed. It would be wonderful, but it was such a stupendous undertaking that it was almost inconceivable it could be made to come tru%. "It should be most interesting,” Elizabeth Brandt agreed, inclining her lovely head with .its beautiful white.«nair..« Hpr dark eyes ttad something of the same mischievous, yet earnest look her son’s often had. “It’S time the people ot this community were aroused to look after their own. 1 cannot think ot any cause more worthy than our handicapped and underprivileged children. Most ot the people I've spoken to feel as 1 do." "It's wonderful of you," Cynthia said. The manner in which the olaes woman spoke made this amazing proposition practically seem as good as done. And ot course Norman was back of It all. (To Be Continued)
