For Children

However, They Should - Not Be Allowed Regular Diet, Expert Advises.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON In my mail comes a letter from a father who asks my opinion about movies and children. It has been a long time since 1 have had a complaint to make,

~ but strangely enough, last night, lo - and behold, ‘there was the same "old-time shocker to revive memory

of postwar vamps and illicit love.

‘JX was scarcely able to believe my . eyes. It was all there,

husband working hard and risking his life, while wifey was playing around with the boss, getting real diamond bracelets and all the rest; bribery of the janitor’s daughter not to tell, and the treaclierous but beautiful wife in clothes to make your mouth water. A lot of children were there, be- | cause it was a special occasion. But:

it was just one of those things that

happen. And it should not happen

Movies Improve When the movies were cleaned up they were cleaned up right. The pictures get better and better. There was “Heidi,” one of the best performances of the year, and before that, “The Life of Emile Zola,”

Never have I seen better pictures for young or older children than ar tains Courageous” and “Wee Wi Winkie” were perfect shows { . children. No, I have no further bone to pick with movies as entettainment for the young. Most of the pictures today are excellent “family” entertainment, without too much picking and choosing. Mothers scarcely need the old-time lists any more, with their italics on “specials” for the small fry. But there is, of course, another side to this question of movies | and children, whether pictures are appropriate or not.

| Children take things more seri-

ously than adults. They are more easily excited and run the full

‘gamut of emotion during a performance. They go through strain that we elders escape, and retain |

impressions longer. Moderation Urged

It is not too wise to allow them, therefore, a regular diet of movjes, no matter how ‘well done or how suitable they are. Tiny children should not go at all. Small youngsters, only once in so often, to see pictures that are not too stirring. Growing children should

not be permitted to fill their lives |. with dreams and thrills, so that

workaday affairs lose their hold. Movies can become an orgy of escape in real earnest. = Everyone needs the holiday from routine, we admit, but habit is always another

matter, when either child or adult |.

becomes obsessed with.a world that might be, rather than the world that a is prosy for the most part,

and duty is just that, so most of |. us are given to thrill when op-

portunity offers. Children are not exceptions, and as it is in youth that unfortunate habits are set, it is wise to keep a nice balance between work and play. Movies are fine for children as long as they do npt interfere with happiness in ih work and routine duty; as long as they are not indulged in to the extent of making home and school dull things to be endured, by comparison. The parent will have to decide what this balance

is.. There is no rule to govern the '

child and the movies.

Too, isn't the bodice of this frock attractive? It is softly draped chiffon, forming a deep V front anid back, gathered into a smooth “corselet” waistline accented by the two chiffon bows.

Jelly-Makers Disagree on ‘Use - Of Commercial Fruit Pectin

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Writer

Some cooks insist that the addition of prepared pectin decreases the flavor and stiffens the consistency of their jams and jellies. But an equal number of good cooks insist that the guarantee of success that results from using pectin offsets ‘any minor change in consistency

or flavor.

JAPAN NEARING

SHOWDOWN WITH

Communist Government Still Strong Despite Defeat of Chiang. |

_ Editor's Note—Is there a probability

end of the present war will be a Communist state? Government, which controlled areas having a population of nine million people when the present war started, still intact? Will the Communists continue to fight Japan when other elements in the anti-Japanese front created by Gen. Chiang ' Kai-shek have beernt crushed? H. R. Ekin, United Press war correspondent, who has just returned from five months in the Orient, covering the Chinese-Japanese conflict, answers these questions in the following dispatch:

By H. R. EKINS : (Copyright, 1937, by United Press)

themselves face to face with a new kind of Chinese Government and a new type of Chinese military

| strategy.

So far the Japanese Brgely “have been fighting Gen. Chiang Kaishek’s Kuomintang party forces and those allied with his old Central Government in Nanking before he formed his “All-China Anti-Japa-nese Front.” In future they may face the veteran soldiers of the Chinese Soviet Government, who generally are considered to: be the ablest guerilla fighters that modern Asia ever has known, / Military phases of the Sino-Japa-nese hostilities in the sense of warfare between Japan and the old Chinese Central Government appear to be nearing an end.

Soviet Still Intact

. Gen. Chiang Kai-shek’s erstwhile Nankirig regime now is a refugee Government. Japanese troops are in full occupation of seven Chinese

national capital, Nanking. The Central Government as such is only a ‘skeleton, scattered in Hankow, Nanchang and Chungking. There remains the Chinese Soviet, the only governmental entity in China aside from purely local governments in Chinese provinces not yet invaded by the brown-clad troops of Dai Nippon. During the last six months, the Chinese Reds have adroitly main-

Showdown Held Near

Seasoned observers of the Far East have never believed that China would go Red as long as the Japanese were on the doorsteps of or

actually in the Chinese coastal provinces. Now that Japan controls the Eastern Asiatic Coast from the Siberian frontier to Ningpo, and is threatening -the Southern Coastal ports of Canton, Swatow and Amoy, the showdown with the Reds firmly entrenched in interior Shensi Province and in Red Outer Mongolia is imminent. Upon the outcome of the clash between the Japanese and the Chinese Communists may depend the course of Russo-Japanese relations. Japanese success against the Chinese Reds might well postpone the showdown between Tokyo and Moscow. .Should the Japanese find Red Chinése resistance harder to crack than the resistance offered by the Central Government during the last six months Moscow might involved. : To date China has had only moral support from the outside.

China Unforgiven

The indications Have been that Russian sympathizers have been playing a waiting game and that in the crackup of the Central Government, they may see an opportunity to strike at last at the Japanese—through the Chinese but through the Chinese Soviet Government in contradistinction to the Chinese Nationalist regime. : * No love has been lost between Gen. Chiang Kai-shek and Moscow. So long as the generalissimo remained in the saddle Russia remembered that he parted company with the Soviets in 1928 when he threw out the Russian advisers who aided him in his 1927 campaign to carry the Kuomintang flag from Canton to Peking. Many Russians never have forgiven Chiang for frustrating their great attempt to communize China a decade ago. They are anxious to direct the ceremonies for the “wake” attending his final passing so that they can salvage the control.

Have Able Leaders

To that end the Chinese Reds, under able leaders as Chu Teh and Mao Tse-tung, heave kept their best armies from contact with the Japanese. They have permitted the Japanese to smash the Central Govarnment’s military establishment for them. Chinese Soviet leaders were sent to the Chinese refugee capitals to be on hand to snatch the scepter as it falls from the Kuomintang,

which fought Chinese communism

tooth and nail from Kiangsi Province to Shensi while the Japanese were severing Manchuria . from China and creating the empire of Manchukuo. That is why Chou En-lai, one of the leading Chinese Communists, is near Chiang Kai-shek at Hankow.

(Editorial, Page 12)

Three persons were injured in five overnight traffic accidents here while two deaths were added to the State’s traffic toll. Meanwhile, Dr. E. R. Wilson, Marion County Coroner, ordered an inquest to determine whether injuries received when struck by an automobile or heart disease caused the death at Methodist Hospital last night of Alonzo Goodwin, veteran postal employee. The police campaign on traffic law violators resulted in. 37 arrests, seven on charges of speeding. Ten drivers were fined $81 by Judge Dewey Myers in Municipal Court today. Of that amount, two speeders were ordered to pay $26. Others were to appear in court later. State traffic victims were John H. Stearn, 60, of near Newcastle, and William Martin, 59, of Kentland.

CONSIDER SEPARATE COUNTY ROAD BODY

Two of Three Commissions Reported in Favor.

- County Commissioners today said they were considering establishment of a separate Marion County highway department. Decision on the move will be made this week, they said. The highway department: for three years has been under the sus pervision of the County Surveyor. Under the new plan a new post to be known as highway superintendent, would be created, two of the Commissioners sponsoring the plan, said. According to Commissioner Dow W. Vorhies, the other two members of the body favor setting up the department. Mr. Vorhies said he op-~ poses any such action on grounds of economy. The salary of the county surveyor is paid partly out of the county general fund and part from the highway fund. Salary of the proposed highway superintendent would be paid out of the highway fund, Mr. Vorhies said. He said he did .not believe there was sufficient funds in the highway fund to warrant the establishment of the new post. He added that it is not necessary for the duties of the surveyor to be divorced. © Clarence I. Wheatley, Board president, said a vote was necessary .before any such department was established. However, he said such action had been considered by him and John Newhouse, third member of the board, for some time.

URGES ‘QUALITY “FARM LABELING

Conference Speaker to Ask Wider Use of Seals In Indiana.

Plans to extend labeling of quale ity farm and dairy products with the “Hoosier Seal of Quality” are to be outlined to the meeting of the Indiana Farmers Conference here Jan. 10. Prof. F. C. Gaylord, Purdue University Agriculture Department, is to urge adoption of grading labels as a means for extending markets of Hoosier products. Horace E. Abbott, county agricultural agent, said adoption of the “Hoosier Seal ‘of Quality” by apple growers had standardized quality and increased the markets throughout the nation for this farm product. He said he believed other producers would benefit by grading and labeling their products. Mr. Abbott and Governor Townsend had promised aid in promoting the program if growers and dairymen throughout the state indicated they were willing to subscribe to the proposals: of the farm experts. Standards tentatively set, to be proposed to the farm groups, are higher for many products than requirements of the Government, the County Agent said. Mr. Abbott added the success of the program promoted by the apple growers promised adoption by other farm groups.
