Experts Talk on on Safety And Health Safeguards

At School Meetings Here

“Encouragement of Initiative in Child Is Urged by

Supt. Stetson; Rigid

Drivers’ License Law

Is Advocated As Safety Measure.

The everyday problems of safety, health, standards, curricula and housing affecting parents and teachers were discussed in talks today at Parent-Teacher Association meetings in the various public schools. : The part played by the encouragement oi originality and initiative in a child’s education was stressed by Paul C. Stetson, superintendent

Jof schools, at School 84. heritages of children is an opportunity to develop their originality. It may be either in poetry, literature, speech or practical arts,” he said. Willlam Evans, Safety Council president, urged the support of legislation for a more rigid drivers’ license law in his talk at School 67.

Traffic Toll Described

* “The number of people killed in automobile accidents during the past year would make up a city the size of Kokomo; the number of persons permanently injured, a city the size of Gary; the number of disabled persons, a city the size of Cleveland,” he said. “We really have a new frontier which has not yet been conquered. We are slow in adjusting ourselves. We have developed mechanical phases of life and have not developed machines to control machines.”

The structure of the school organization, the method of electing Commissioners and: appointing executives were explained by Carl Wilde, Board of School Commissioners’ vice president. He pointed out that during the last seven years enrollment had increased more than 5000 in the high schools and remained more or less stationary in thé grade schools. “This has created a serious situation, a shortage in school housing,” he said. He explained that it neces- " sitated the Board's seeking inclusiop of $875,000 in appropriations to build the firsty unit of Irvington High School and additions to Washington High School and School 26.

Points to Adults’ Obligation

Meeting the changing standards is an obligation of adults, Miss Gertrude Thuemler, Technical High School dean of girls, told the group ot School 78. “Adults must be willing to make distinction between inconsequential - changes and fundamental changes. They must help a child to meet the changes and still meet the fundamental truths of living.”

In a second talk at School 15, Miss * Thuemler outlined the opportunities for youth today. “We are trying to . get an educational system which permits each child to develop to the full extent,” she said.

“We must devise effective machinery for arbittation and conciliation to prevent wars,” was Mrs. Leonard Smith’s message to parents ‘and ‘teachers at School 66. “Changes in the last 30 years have made the world a neighborhood,” ‘she said. “What formerly was an .international problem closely resembles an interstate problem today. Nations are dependent upon each other. It is necessary that they learn to cooperate with each other for peace, just as they have worked together for safety at sea and postal service.” The right foods, chewing exercises, home care and regular visits to dentists were steps enumerated by Dr. Mary Westfall for care of teeth, Dr. Westfall of the State Department of Public Health spoke at School 3.

Governor's

| Mansion’s Shopping List

Turns Out to Be Large Order.

By BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor

RS. M. CLIFFORD TOWNSEND is going shopping today—for linen to stock the Governor’s Mansion shelves. Her list (if she had had time to compile one during these, few crowded days when her family has been getting settled) would read something like an inventory of a small hotel. She expects to buy towels for the Kitchen and bathrooms, cloths for state entertainments and simpler napery for the family gatherings, which are frequent. The birthday dinners are as sumptuous as Christmas and Thanksgiving feasts. The family enjoys Mrs. Townsend’s cooking. The Governor, their two daughters and particularly the son are hungering for one of her meals. She's been so busy campaigning with her “husband in recent months that there hasn't been much time for her to cater to their tastes. However, she has been planning the meals since moving in the mansion.

Son At Home Now

Mdx Townsend, the son, will be living at home now forithe first time in five years, and he didn’t give his mother any peace until she invaded the kitchen to bake his favorite cake. . She has promised that he I have as many as he wants as soon as the partying slacks. She has assured the family that soon she’ll cook some spare ribs and sauerkraut and what: the household describes as her “incomparable” cornbread. That menu has won her the admiration of many of her husband’s friends. ; ThesTownsends’ first visitors have been their daughters, Miss Lucille

| Townsend, a teacher at Marion, and

Mrs. LeMoyne Duncan, and Mr. Duncan, "Marion; Governor Townsend’s mother Mrs. Lydia Townsend; his sister, Mrs. F. E. Hooker, Mr. Hooker, and their daughter Betty Jane, Hartford City.

. Granddaughter Represented

The Townsends’ granddaughter, 15-months-old Kitty Ann Duncan,

ture of her was one of the first personal effects to be added to the mansion’s living room. Cooking is only one of Mrs. Townsend's domestic virtues. She sews and has a consoling touch, her family says, when they're “sick abed.” Mrs. Townsend likes to step out of her household role, put on durable clothes and go fishing with her husband. In fact her biggest problem in settling down in her new home was to find a place to hang the 28-pound sailfish which she landed in November while on a visit at Miami, Fla.

Fish Has a Story

The 6-foot 5-inch fish, restored to its bright blue and silver color by a taxidermist, arrived as a surprise gift from the Governor Saturday. It has been hung temporarily, but Mrs. Townsend thinks she’ll move it to a place over the fireplace in the living room. Mrs. Townsend teases her husband about that fishing trip. She landed the fish in 15 minutes and had the first catch of the party of eight. The Governor hooked one but didn’t haul it in until he had struggled with it more than an hour.
