Early Church-Going Advised for Children

hr HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D.

THE most important job you lave as parents is to raise your roungstcrs to ba good, decant kdulta. Luckily, you don’t hare to do .hat alona Schools are of tremendous help, as the child grows older. But even before school age, rwu youngster can be helped to get set on the right track by taking him to church or Sunday school. Purpose o< Training Religious training teaches a child to be good. A good child doesn't misbehave. At what ago should you start your child In a church or Sunday School? That depends entirely upon his ability to adjust himself to his surroundings. Last Sunday, a woman and her four children, ranging in age from about two to eight, sat in the pew directly in front of me. I expected the children to be restless, and a distraction to everyone around. But they weren’t Children Were Good That little eight-year-old girl actually mothered the youngest child, hushing her at each little try- The other two. both boys—one was about three and the other a year or so older—crawled up on the bench and just sat there. Maybe they didn’t knotr exactly what was going on, but they realized that they were tn church, and that when you are in church, you must behave. When you think your ehild Is -old enough, take him two or three times. If ho fusses a great deal, wait a few months and then try

. There are a lot of little night driving courtesies which are not observed by many local motorists. It is not-only a state law but it is showing respect for a fellow motorist that should cause drivers to use their dimmers when passing another vehicle. The more you drive at night the more you understand why Indiana motorists are losing their driving privileges at an astounding rate. -- The rebuke which fellow Senators have imposed on Sen. McCarthy may not do any good. The criticism which newspapers across the country have levelled at the Senator may not do any good. The real rebuke could come from the people of Wisconsin when their Senatorial representative seeks another term. The issue still is cloaked in many crosscurrents of misapprehension, and no one seems to know after months of wrangling if the Wisconsin noisy-boy misused funds or failed to make proper income tax payments. The senator himself has been guilty of hiding the real issues by claiming that everyone who doesn’t see eye to eye with him is a Communist, and actually Communism and McCarthy’s fight against it never have been an issue in the Senate probe. 0 6 Students at Decatur high school have a very special project in,the making. The entire student body is taking part in presenting a band concert and dance on December 17. All proceeds from the two events will go into a fund with which to purchase new uniforms for the band members. Xhe present unlforpis have been in use for more than 10 years. They are property of the school each member of the band is provided with a uniform. Recently they have become noticeably worn. According to reports there is now available for uniform purchase about SI,OOO. It will be necessary td raise about SI,BOO in additional funds and all of the students have joined together to assist in selling tickets tor the double event. Students and faculty members also will be required to buy tickets for both events. The project should have much local support

again. Once they’ve gone a few times, most youngsters will look forward to these Sunday visits. If you promise your ehild you are going to take him to church—or do anything, or take him anywhere—you’ve got to keep that promise. Don’t take promises to your children too lightly. Your youngster will soon learn whether they will be kept or not. If they aren’t, he will pay little attention to them in the future. Rewarding the Child If your youngster does something specially well, or performs some out-of-the-ordlnary duty for you, reward him. Give him some extra candy, buy him some little toy, take him somewhere he would like to go, or do something he specially wants done. Don’t, however, reward him for routine duties. He should learn that these things are expected of him, And don’t bribe a child to do something. You wouldn’t try to bribe a policeman to forget a traffic ticket, would you? Then don't try it on your kids. It might cost you plenty. QUESTION AND ANSWER A Reader: What causes excessive yawning? Answer: Excessive yawning Is probably due more to the formation of a habit than to anything else. 1 do not believe there Is any great harm In such a habit, although it is likely to be a little troublesome. Air swallowing, such as occurs In nervous individuals, is no doubt, a contributing factor.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX A SHY little Polish girl whose reserve had always baffled Cynthia confided to the Nurse Lady that there was going to be a new baby soon at their house. “Mr. Stork is going to bring it,” the little girl said, her eyes round and wide in her small bland face. “I’m gonna wait up and try to see him when he comes, like Santa Claus. Only last year Santa turned out to be Dr. Sellars— Do you think Dr. Sellars could be Mr. Stork, too, Nurse Lady?” Cynthia had to suppress a smile. It was well she had just turned the child over on the table to lie on her stomach. Cynthia readjusted the heat lamp. She said, ’•Well, now, 1 wouldn’t be surprised. Though 1 hardly believe Dr. Sellars looks like Mr. Stork, do you? Anyway, it will be tun to have a new baby. You can help your mother take care of it, now that you are learning to do so many things and getting to be such a big girl.” “We got enough babies at home now,” the little girl said. "Besides me, younger than me, we got three. My mama says we don't need no more. Only Mr. Stork s gonna bring another anyway. That's why I thought it he was Dr. Sellars, maybe you,could tell him we don't really need another baby at our house, Nurse Lady. Ohly it would be tun to take care ot a tittle teeny new one,” she tacked on shyly. Cynthia assured her that it would. But she thought, Oh, dear, her mother is so right. With so many to clothe and teed now—seven or eight, Cynthia believed, all crowded into a tew dark, damp rooma Someday, Cynthia hoped, something would be done about the housing in this neighborhood. AU those old buildings ought to be torn down, nice new ones built in their place. It would be done someday, she felt certain—thanks to people like Norman and his mother. Some of the children presented her with a gift on her return. These were proffered out’ of such warm generosity that Cynthia did not have the heart to retuse any of -them. By the end of the day she had acquired quite a collection. There were a few apples and oranges—and one sticky all-day sucker which she suspected the child already had sampled before making himself give it away. There was a pin, minus a tew stones, which a little girl had taken off her dress, and a live turtle a small boy had pulled out ot a pocket. One of the smallest children had drawn a picture tor the Nurse Lady. It was supposed to

represent a bluebird flying in a window —the bluebird of happiness, the child had told the Nurse Lady, because she had flown back to them. And another older boy had even written a poem, which if it did not have perfect meter, was surprisingly good. Cynthia resolved that she must follow up this talent and encourage the boy to make as much of it as he could. It was wonderful, she .thought, for a boy who had had so little to be thankful for—he was one ot the worst spastic cases —to find beauty in words. Miss Whiting had not asked Cynthia to divulge whatever it was that might cause the clinic to. need her permanently. Cynthia ,nad hinted that it had to be kept a secret for a white, that it nad something to do with expansion and a larger program for the clinic. She had told Miss Whiting that it would "break” soon; then she could tell tier all about IL It ought to break this very day. Cynthia could hardly wait to learn what Walt's reaction wou 1 d be after he nad ms interview with Mra Brandt. She knew tie would be as amazed as she nad been at the scope ot Elizabeth's plans. , Dr. Sellars had greeted nis assistant nurse with his usual somewhat preoccupied nod that morning. He had been busy all morning with outpatients and tn e i r parents, and there nad not been time tor any further exchange between mm and ms assistant nurse. The moment he stepped into the clinic the docton always, almost literally? rolled up ms sleeves and plunged headlong into its activities. He would adopt his most professional manner automatically. Yet Cynthia nad not been able to keep from feeling a bit chagrined to find ntm the same on this Monday morning as on evefy other one. It seemed to her he could have stepped out of his role ot doctor, and head of the small clinic, long enough to greet her with a little more personal warmth. After all, she had been away. Or he-might even? have gone a step further and taken time out to show by some sign that things had undergone a drastic change in their relationship. For they no longer wx*re simply doctor and nurse. They were a man and a woman. They Were a man and woman who only the evening before had become as good as engaged to be married. Cynthia had to remind herself, as the morning wore on, that tills was what she had expected. Walt's work would always be paramount ui lua umid and Ucux L Wiuic lie

Decatur City Hall Undergoes Painting Decatur's city hall took on the "new look” today a* painter Ray Vents finished up five weeks of painting which has completely changed the once-drab building. The principal cnanges were made in the police station, where a new table was built and varnished by the policemen in their offhours for the large radio set. A large counter was built about chest high where complaints are received. and the old black counter was dismantled. The new arrangement gives the police station more desk space, as the desk on which the radio was located may now be used by the justice of the peace or by persons filling out accident reports. First room to be redecorated was the city council room, which was freshly painted green and white, giving the room a fresh, light appearance which it formerly lacked. The city engineer’s office was also painted in sections, so that work could continue during the process. The mayor’s court room was also repainted, as were the police station, hallway and stairway.

was busy at ft. she must not expect Walt to give her any personal consideration. Still, he could have thrown her a stray glance, or a crumb, occasionally, as when their eyes met, their hands touched, or after he had given her some instructions. I might as well be Miss Whiting, she thought. Surely, as soon as they were off duty, during the brief lunch hour, or later,, at the end of the day, Walt-would be different. He would remember that he had Informed his assistant nurse that he was going to marry her. He would recall that he had kissed her. However, when lunchtime came, Dr. Sellars remained within the confines of his private office. He was still holding phone conversations, going over records When he gave no sign of intending to emerge, Cynthia took it upon herself to poke her head through the opening of the door and remind him that he ought to stop long enough for a sandwich or a cup of coffee. This was in her line of duty. She often had to remind him of such ordinary matters. Sometimes she almost forcibly nad to drag him away from nis work to make him eat or rest for a tew minutes. "Can't take time today," be said curtly. He nad barely glanced up. "But you ought to take time. You cant keep on at this pace unless you stop now and then." Cynthia made her manner as curtly as professional as his. “Suppose 1 bring you in a sandwich and a pot of hot coffee?" At the same time she could bring her- own along and perhaps they could have a cozy little lunch together. "1 oughtn’t to take time even for that," the young doctor muttered. He Sipped through the piles of papers on nis desk, glanced at his memorandum pad, shook his head. His fierce scowl pulled nis thick dark brows together. He looked most forbidding but quite handsome. “That Brandt woman is coming, you Know. She'll take tip too much of my time Put me clear off schedule." “Maybe it will be worth it," Cynthia reminded him, trying to hang on to her patience. Why was it she always wanted to give him a thorough shaking? “Hump." His answer was a gruff grunt.. Nevertheless,, he consented, if- not too. agreeably, to her suggestion. "Well, if you insist—and if it won't put you to too much trouble. Just a pot of coffee," he added. "I don't care much for a cold sandwich." (To Bo Continued) t

Discusses Attitude Os Russians To Americans

(Editor's note: Few men In the free world are in a position to know the minds and the plots of the men in the Kremlin as well as Capt. Nikolai Khokhlov, former Soviet Intelligence officer now in the .. U.S. It was Khokhlov who, early this year, defected to the west and foiled a Soviet plan to murder Georgi Okolovich, underground chief of the anti-Communist Russian organisation, •'NTS." In the following article, last of three based on interviews with a noted American diplomatic » correspondent, Khokhlov discusses the attitude of the Russian pepole towards the U.S. By PIERRE J. HUSS World Copyright, 1954, By 1.N.8. NEW YORK (INS) — The Russian people distrust U. S. motives because the western powers have failed to back up with force “liberation’* movements such as the dramatic Berlin anti-Red demonstrations in June of 1953. Former Soviet intelligence officer Capt. Nikolai Khokhlov told me, tor example, that the Kremlin rulers fully anticipated a major revolt ip East Germany last June and were prepared to face loss of that occupied area. They took it for granted that the western occupation powers would back the Berlin and Leipzig outbreaks of German workers with sufficient force to compel a facesaving Soviet withdrawal agreement. ’ Khokhlov said: “When the Kremlin leaders realized that the East German rebels were on their own and that the west had no intention of supporting the outbreaks with force, they moved in fast and crushed the uprising. “The East German outbreaks served at least one great purpose. They made the Russian people realize even deeper that Soviet power in other lands was not welcome but actually hated. What shocked the Russian people was that German workers alone staged the rioting, and the Russian people fully appreciated the courage it took to stand up against our terror regime. “Why then, if the sleeping giant of the Russian people is stirring and eyeing its evil government,can’t we bold out hope for an early revolt of the masses against the Kremlin and Communist party.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN CYNTHIA shut the door to Walt’s office before he. could change his mind. She flung her nurse’s cape around her, got her purse. She would surprise him. She would bring back a hot sandwich, roast beef or barbecue. He would eat it She would see to it that he did. It was up to her to look after him, not only as his assistant nurse, but because he was the man she probably would have to look after the rest of her life. Besides, she told herself, as she hurried back, bearing her purchases carefully on a tray, she wanted to put Walt in a good frame of mind before Norman's mother arrived for that Interview. She wanted him to make some attempt at being gracious and appreciative. - If only, she thought, he would put his best foot forward, tor once. And again she wondered, as she opened the door into his private sanctum once more, if she would have to keep endeavoring to get him to do thia for the rest of her natural life. Summed up thus, it loomed as a rather forbidding project. “Here we arel” She assumed a forced cheerfulness. She set the tray down on his desk, almost On a pile of papers, with a flourish. She whipped off the snowy-white napkin. “Now there, doesn't that look tempting ? And 1 brought two cups and an extra sandwich, so we can have lunch together." She felt somewhat as she did when trying to persuade one of the children to try something difficult that would benefit them. Well, tn away, Walt was nothing but a child. Most men were. ••Hum . . . Well, 1 must say it looks rather tempting." He took time to remove the papers to a safe distance. He relaxed a little, leaning back in hts swivel chair. He watched Cynthia as she poured the steaming, fragrant coffee. He had not commented on her sharing his lunch, nor had he invited her to sit down. But she did. She even pulled the extra straightbacked chair, reserved for those who came to see Dr. Sellars professionally, closer. She gave him her warmest smile, Although insidc she did noffeel any too happy. "I knew jt would taste good," she told him. “It will be good sos you, too, Walt And I hope it will put you in a good humor." "What do you mean by that?” He put down his cup and looked at her as though he really did not know. “1 mean that I want you to try to be as courteous and as charming as you can, Walt, to Mrs. Brandt" "Oh. So you want me to play the little gentleman." "Yqu know I don’t mean that." “I usually know how to conduct an interview. So you need not be so concerned. I suppose it’s because she happens to be related to that Brandt fellow . . . Though I can t for ths life of me sec why,

“In the first place, the rank and file Russian is a born patriot. In his groping way, he instinctively shuns the idea of another October revolution and , the bloodbath that wiped out the rotten regime of the Czars. "Basically, the average Russian citizen fears that to overthrow the Soviet rulers and Communist system Is to destroy Russia and leave her prostrate at the mercy of the, foreign powers. "Secondly, the long years of Communist tyranny and the monolithic party system have channeled all thinking and perspective of the outside world into distorted assumptions. “The average Russian's idea of the western world is one of grim capitalistic slave grounds, with racial conflicts, discrimination, corruption in politics and gangsters on every hand. He wants none of that — at least not exchange the security of his beloved Russia for another Napoleonic occupation by strangers from across the border. Nor does he want back the Czars. “Thirdly, the Russian Is an oriental and as such lives in an oriental world. That is his environment and his dealy cherished home. Fourthly, the west has failed to convince the Russian that the only goal is liberation of all peoples and lands behind the Iron Curtain. The suspicion is firmly anchored in Russian minds that the west really wants to conquer Russia, not help it get rid of evil Soviet power. "There is widespread listening to the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and British Broadcasting Corp. Yet the impact of these broadcasts is lost on the Russians because they can not understand, why the west refuses to help any popular revolutionary movement. — — "The Soviet propaganda and Communist party machine make the most of what they call at home ‘rattling of i nuclear weapons' against us by America. They are not impressed - the people in Russia -by western armed power This symbolizes to them the means by which the foreign capitalist countries intend to destroy Russia. “Every Russian 1 know will fight to death even if it means in defense of Soviet power if a foreign attack occurs. Any threat from abroad will rally him to the Red

for that reason, I should attempt to be especially charming.” He i was trying to be stubborn, Cynthia knew, Maybe she should have used more tact. She realized that it was going to take time for her to learn how to handle Walt when it came to the social graces, though she could manage him nicely when it came to anything connected with the clinic. Well, this had to do with the clinic, as he would soon find out. So she could smile and pretend she thought he was being nice. “Just do it for me,” she said. "Because I ask you to. Although not for the reason you gave. I should think,” she smiled her sweetest for him now, “that alone would be enough—because I ask it of you, Walt.” "Hum ... Well, that’s different" The scowl slowly left ms face. He did not smile, but he did not look so stern or grumpy. He put down his cup; no doubt the coffee, too, had begun its soothing influence. “Because you ask me, I will be as charming and as polite as possible.” “Thank you, Walt.” She felt better. ft was as well the matter had been taken care ot, as just then the phone began ringing. Cynthia waited a while; then, since they both had finished lunch, she put the dishes back on the tray and left the office. She would not have time to return the tray; she had to give a treatment in about ten minutes.. From there on her afternoon would be full She determined to try to concentrate all her thoughts and emotions on her work. She must not allow these personal issues to distract her. She did not want to make it difficult to work with Walt, just because their relationship had changed. If Indeed it had! she said to herself. But of course it had. It was just that it took time to become adjusted; for Walt to realize that things no longer were as they had been. And hadn't he promised to do what she asked, just because she had asked it of him ? She kept so occupied that although she was aware when Elizabeth Brandt arrived, and that she was closeted with Walt in his otflee for much longer than halt an hour, Cynthia did not know exactly when she left. She had no way of knowing how the interview went off. She would not know until the last patient was dismissed, Uie clinic cloScd. She would not be in any hurry to leave. For surely Walt would want to tell her all about that meeting. Yet all he said, when he. came into tile waiting rbom where she was putting things to rights, was, "Oh, so you're still here.” “Yea. I waited for you.” Cynthia was determined not to let hiin put her off. “Tell me, how did the intorview go?” she asked. "1 was polite—and charming,"

flag, no matter how much he hates the Kremlin rulers. ‘•On the other hand, the Russian people as a whole are opposed to war and want none of it. That is one big reason why the Kremlin rulers would be had put to starting a war. Nothing short of a foreign invasion or attack on Russian forces in Europe will revive the greet fighting spirit which beat the Nazi invader. ——- "It is highly important right now that the U. S. does nothing In its relations to the Kremlin which would tend to confirm in the eyes of the Russian people the warlike picture presented to them of America. A mistake like that would be tor the U. S. to break relations with Moscow oh the basis of incidents. like the shooting down of a plane. ’The thing Cor the U. 8. to do is to hammer away at the humanitarian side, to bring home in every possible way to the Russian people the stark horror of their concentration and slave labor camps, “ A big step in the right direction will have been scored when the Russian people have begun to realize and believe that the conflict between the Soviet system and the outside world is not over political power and ambitions but strictly over humanitarian principles and the right to live decent lives. “The U. S. must make it clear that the American people condemn the Kremlin's enslavement of millions. the hunger and misery visited upon every land in which Soviet power rules. . v ’The way to break the Kremlin at home is not by war but by a spiritual and moral alliance forged gradually and systematically between the free world and the people of Russia. 'Tell the sleeping giant that the free world Is interested only in the liberation of all people behind the Iron Curtain, Including the Russians. • “To proclaim your crusade against Soviet imperialism makes an enemy of the Russian people.

he answered, rather grimly. Ha had walked on past her to wash his hands at a basin and to remove and hang up his white coat. ~ I really ought to shake him, she thought—darn it, someday 1 will! However she managed to make her voice sound calm and cheerful. “Well, aren t you going to tell me all about it?” Pulling on his gray Suit coat, he came to stand in front of her, He was so tall, so big, so good to look at that she told herself it was no wonder it was easy to forgive him his manners. Or to imagine oneself in love with him. “You knew all about it —before I did,” he said. “You could have told me what it was all about.” "Elizabeth—Mrs. Brandt — suggested that 1 let her tell you herself. But isn't it wonderful, Waft, all those wonderful plans?” “1 suppose so.” "Aren't you thrilled and excited?” ~ "I'm not sure." Now he looked away from ner. He took a turn about the small room. Stopping again beside her, he said, "I’m not so sure 1 like the idea of outsiders coming in, running the clime—and me.” . “No one will ever do that" She could not help being disappointed in tils reaction. He ought to be glad tor the children's sake; he shouldn't think about himself. “Not if I can help it,” Walt said. "1 started this clinic. It's my lifework." "That’s why you should bo thrilled. Think of all it will mean.” it could be his lilework, but he could let others share in it. He need not make it ms whole lite. Yet she could see what he meant; he did not like the thought ot the clinic's not being altogether his own. It was the way some men would feel about the woman they loved. “I know. Yet I’m not sure I want the clinic to grow that much. It will mean taking in more help, even another doctor of so.” “But you’d still be the head, Walt. It would be good to have an internist. Perhaps even the Clinic's own orthopedist. And they would come under you." ' "1 suppose you’re right," he admitted somewhat grudgingly. "If the clinic grows large enough, it can take care ot every child that needs its help. Not just those in the immediate vicinity, but children from the surrounding counties." pointed out all the advantages. She felt certain that as soon as Walt accepted the plan in his own mind he would view it in a different light. "I suppose you’re right about that, too.” This admission was not given so unwillingly. "Then you didn't turn it down? You told Mrs. Brandt to go ahead with her ideas?” "Whatelse could I do?” Ho spread his hands in a wide gesture. “She didn't leave mo much choice.’’ i (Id lie (,'onlinucd)
