Spanking's No Solution

By HERMAN H. BUNDESEN, BLD. ALMOST every child must be punished at one time or another. Yours probably needs it occasionally, too. I know mine did. There are, of course, right ways and wrong ways of dealing out punishment. For punishment can not only teach a child to be good; it can also teach him to be bad. It depends on how you do It. Spanking No Cure-All If you give your youngster frequent and severe spankings, you’ll teach him Just one thing: don’t get caught the next time. Spanking is no cure-all. Neither is any other specific form of punishment. But I think you’ll find the most effective form Is also the most logical one — depriving him of things he wants. Take His Crayons If your youngster Insists on drawing on the walls Instead of on paper, simply take his crayons from himJHe will soon see that It Is more fun to draw on paper than not at all. • ” Or maybe your child stalls while getting ready for bed. Then warn him fan'll miss his bedtime atory or his snack before bedtime. He Is Tired As I pointed out earlier, you can frequently tame a rambunctious youngster by putting him to bed earlier than usual. But you must carefully explain that you are doing this because he is tired, not because he is naughty. Then, always point out that 11 he were not

Many beautiful 1955 automobiles are appearing On local streets. They're all neat and slick appearing and local motorists who have purchased the 1955 models say they are satisfied with their investments. In a. few weeks there will be hundreds more on the streets and highways. 0- 0 Be sure to remember that De-.-e cember 15 has been proclaimed "Safe Driving Day” by President Eisenhower, and every one who drives a motor car is asked to use his very best care and judgment that we may have one day a year at least without a single fatality. It's a big undertaking but a good one. —0 0Chiang Kai-Shek says the Nationalist party plans to recapture the China mainland when the time-table stage is reached. He also adds that they do not want the United States to have any part in the actual warfare on the Asia continent which we jnight add suits us to the last degree. —o —-o— Be sure and bring the kiddies to Decatur Saturday afternoon to have a visit with Santa Claus. The old gentleman, who brings cheer to millions every year, will be here Saturday afternoon and again Saturday evening, passing out candy treats to the children and taking their orders for Christmas toys. 0 0— — Decatur retailers have gone all out this year to attract shoppers to their stores. They have on display the finest merchandise available and to top it off they have extended their store hours to make it possible for everyone to visit their establishments 'day or night. It will pay you to shop in Decatur. 0- 0 —— Decatur retail merchants have extended their store hours this Christmas season^® 'take care of shoppers who are unable to make their purchases during usual hours. Stores will remain open every Thursday afternoon until after Christmas; they also will remain open next Wednesday night and starting Monday December 13 they will be open until 9 o'clock each night until Decetnber 24. Local stores have the finest selection of gifts any place in the middlewest and shoppers in the Decatur area wil Ido well to visit the Decatur stores early to get the bost selections.

■ tired, he would not be acting up. Perhaps depriving your child of his Saturday afternoon movie date will get him to report for i supper on time. Don't, however, ; refuse to let him eat simply because he’s a little late. He needs that nourishment. No Television Television, tod,«can be a nonbruising form of punishment. I don’t mean you should make an unruly child sit through some un- , interesting programs, but you might deprive him of his favorite show a couple of times. Sometimes, however, you may think it advisable to spank him. But let me warn you right here that, if this is ihe case, be careful you don’t “blow your top.” Never punish in anger. Count up to ten, or up to two hundred if you have to, before you begin. And always have a smile on your face when you are spanking. Use your hand, not a strap. You'll know how hard you are MrikiAg; if you use your hand. After you have finished spanking him, always think back and analyze the situation. Did he deserve that spanklrtg? ft may not do your youngster any good at the moment, but it will help you deal out punishment more justly in the future. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. R. V.: Does the blood type and Rh factor ever change? Answer: It la’nbt possible for the blood type or Rh factor to change.

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE WALT pulled up in front of Cynthia's apartment house. Dusk had settled, mantling the surroundings in a soft twilight glow. In a treetop a whippoorwill began its plaintive call to its mate. One lone star sparkled high up in the heavens. “1 won’t let you do it, Cynthia," Walt said. "Do what?” She supposed he wanted to start scolding her again, repeating that ne was disappointed in her. Well, she was disappointed in him. "Marry that Brandt fellow." “Oh." Sne hadn't expected that. She had almost forgotten ne® small subterfuge about , a wedding and shopping tor a trousseau. "How can you stop me?” she asked, nevertheless. •TU marry you myself," Dr. Sellars announced. He was as ’ ! much surprised at such a statement as she was. And he was even , more surprised as he fotind himself reaching toward ms assistant nurse, pulling her to turn, holding her tightly. I The hiss he gave her was fierce and brusque, as well as startling, it left Cynthia wide-eyed and unbelieving. She did not realize, just then, that it had not left her weak ' and shaken. But he nad kissed her. She had i determined that he should, and he jhad. He had not said that he loved . her. But he had said he would marry tier rumsell, rather than let her marry someone else. "1 never said 1 was going to marry anyone,” Cynthia told mm. "You certainly gave me that impression,” Walt said. “But anyway, I’m glad it’s settled.” “I’m not sure that it is. You’ll have to give me a little more time, Walt.’ •Oh, take all the time you want!" He made a wide-sweeping gesture. "We couldn’t very well be married until we get the new plan tor the 'clinic under way, anyway. It will be a big project. Ansl it will require a lot oi tune and thought.* ■<,? He did not yet know just how big it was going to be, Cynthia ..thought. She said, "You’re right. The clinic must c'omo first. Even before love or marriage.” There was a tinge of Irony in her voice, but she knew it would be lost on Walt. Still, nad she not decided that it would always have to be this way—the clinic, his work, first? She must accept second place, try to be satisfied with that. "Whcn arc you coming back?” Walt asked. "Oh, I suppose I might as well i come back tomorrow.”

“Good.” He looked very pleased with her now. He smiled” on her almost benignly. "Well,” Cynthia said, “I'll see you then.* * He nad not suggested that he come in. Things did not seem to have changed much between them, even it Walt nad kissed her and said he was going to marry her. She said goodby and he said good by, and she went on tn. She could not nelp naving a sort of let-down feeling. She thought how different, it would nave been if Walt nad. been Norman. Norman would never nave been satisfied with one kiss. He would never nave let her spend the rest of the evening alone after they nad become engaged to be married. Yet was sne engaged to Walt? She nad not said yea; she nad not said no. She knew, however, front his manner, the satisfied smile ne had given her, that Walt considered everything settled. It it was, Cynthia could not held wondering wny she did not tee) happier. She ought to be floating in tne clouds. She ought to be simply dizzy with triumph. In snort, she ought to be the nappies) girl in all the world—tor nadn t she, finally, got exactly what she wanted ? • • • Cynthia had known how glad she would be to see "her children," as she called them. But she was not prepared to nave them greet her with such expressions of joy. When sne came into the clinic that Monday morning there were cries of, "Nurse Lady! Nurse Lady!" And, “Oh, we thought you were never coming back!” Nancy O’Riley burst into tears of happiness, so that Cynthia nad to gather the trail Uttle girl in ner arms and soothe ner and quiet nei sobbing.

And that little episode caused the other children to laugh, and broke the tension. Miss Whiting, a silent witness to all this, said, “Well, 1 do declare. They love you as though you were their mother, Miss Doyle. They never took on so over me.” Cynthia, fearing that that good woman's kind heart had been hurt, reminded her that she had worked with these children, day after day, lor over two years.

It will bake in half the time. Pens When steel pens are clogged with ink, dip them in a rather strong solution of ammonia water. This softens the ink and it can be easily wiped off. Pumpkin Pie Always prepare pumpkin the day before making the pies. It has a chance to drain and makes much better pies.

Lived in a Shoe,’* she said smilingly. “They’re grand children," Miss Whiting admitted. "They never complain about their troubles. And the good Lord knows they have them. It makes me ashamed of those of us who are always fretting about this small ache or pain, with nothing tn this world really to worry about." “Most of us can learn a lot from these children," the younger nurse agreed. She knew she might be speaking out of turn, but she decided to tel) Miss Whiting that without any doubt the clinic would need her services permanently. She thought that Miss Whiting would not feel so badly about leaving if s.ie knew she would be asked to come Back to a permanent position. “I'll come back whenever Tm needed," Miss Whiting said. "At first, 1 thought working with these children, s o m e so handicapped—especially the spastic ones—it would just about break my heart. But they manage to get into your heart, so you can't put them out of it." They did. Indeed. As the day wore on, with Cynthia resuming her duties, giving muscle tests to the children afflicted with polio, massage or neat treatments to those with other ailments, she thought that she loved her work more than she possibly could have any other kind. She loved each Child. She had no favorites. She was reminded of the mother with such a large family who, when asked which child was her favorite, had replied, "The one who u sick or the one who u tar away.” Each of the children, when his turn came, nad something to confide in Cynthia, some incident to tell her about that had happened during her absence. “What d’you know, Nurse Lady," the Thompson boy boasted proudly as Cynthia put a fresh dressing on his knee. "Dr. Sellars says my osteo is getting along so good 1 ought to be able to ride my bißd again before long. I miss riding my bike more than anything." “1 know you must," Cynthia said. “But you must not try to ride it, please, Dickie, until Dr. Sellars says it’s all right. Wo don't want to have more troubM with this knee—not ever again." “We sure don’t," Dickie agreed. “You know, no one knows how to bind it, though, like you. Miss Whiting, she tried, but the bandage always kept slipping and sliding out of place. Gee, it sure is great to have you back!” > ' (To He Continued j

Escaped Lifer Is Still At Liberty Ohio Authorities Lock First Clue COLUMBUS (INS) —State police lacked the fir»t clue today and the FBI declined to enter* the search for Pat McDermott, elayer of a Canton newspaper editor, Who walked out of the Ohio penitentiary last Sunday. The FDI said it would gladly help when there is some legal basis fbr doing so. Until there is some evidence that McDermott crossed a state line,-, or broke a federal law, however, the FBl's hands are tied. Police admitted that had no idea whether McDermott even got beyond the city limits of Columbus. He walked out of the honor dormitory, dressed in civilian clothes, with a women visitor »and was not recognised by a new guard who had just come on duty. McDermott was serving a life sentence for the 1927 murder-for-hlre slaying of Don Mellet, editor of a now defunct newspaper which was crusading against vice and police tie-ups with the undrewofld. i - —- 0 i Modern Etiquette i I BY ROBERTA LEE 9 — —t Q.
