Mother Devises Vacation' Schedule For Her Family

Mrs. Fred Honnold, Pendleton, Gears Tots To Work as Well as Play Program

By JEAN TABBERT Too MUCH LEISURE time is a dangerous thing. That's a fact Mrs. Fred Honnold, an attractive Pendleton housewife and substitute teacher, realizes can be especially detrimental to small children. The mother of seven, Mrs. Honnold, devised a daily schedule to guide her family through vacation days. So

well has it worked, so

‘happy is her brood, she

heartily recommends it to other mothers, In her own household it's ended complaints of “I don't have anything to do,” “May I ask Mary over to play?” or “Could I go down to Joe's?” The schedule is flexible, allowing every child ample time to exercise its own desires and pursuits. Yet it curbs those idle, extra hours s6 annoying to both child and parent, = Assigned tasks give the children a definite share in the household. Even though the jobs may seem insignificant (Phillip, 6, burns the trash; petite, 5-year-old Alice Kay and Karen, 4, empty the ash trays), they form an important part of the over-all program. Mrs. Honnold lives at 223 W. Elm 8t., with her husband, a Delco-Remy Co. employee. A rest period gives the whole family an opportunity for relaxation, Ruth Honnold Bays. Each child should be washed and groomed for the remainder of the day during this time. After tots are clean and rested, neighborhood squabbles are minimized. They are usually congenial for the rest of the day.

This part of the day also _

solves a common problem of city life: Chums continually coming and going. "For older children in’ the family, its a good time for reading, Mrs. ‘Honnold . advises. Her two oldest, Judy, 11, and Fred Jr, 9, belong to the local library reading club.

Brownie requirements. It’s usually well to bring children into the house in plenty of time to be bathed and quieted before going to bed, Mrs. Honnold says. The time, of course, should vary with the age of the children. Anna Marie, 2, is the first of the Honnolds to climb into her pajamas. The schedule follows: SAMPLE DAILY PROGRAM 79 A.M. 1. Dress 2. Eat breakfast 3. Definite assigned tasks: A. Supervising younger children in family while mother washes, irons, cleans house, etc.

B. Lawn mowing C. Cleaning rooms D. Breakfast dishes E. Gardening 9-11:30 A. M. 1. Play period A. This time might be

Woodstock Unjinxes

Friday, 13th

By KATY ATKINS

Catching up after a week out of town I hear glowing réports of the charm of Mrs. Clifford P. Corven, general secretary of the Alumnae Association of Smith College, who was here recently. She was guest of honor at a luncheon at W o odstock Club where she gave the local Smith Club current news of the college. Two former classmates, Elizabeth Haerle and Constance Jones, were on hand to welcome her. Mrs. Corven got a good laugh from some snapshots brought to the luncheon by Mrs. Erwin Stout who lived in the same house at college.

cooking classes which will be the club's money-making project for next year. They will be conducted by Mrs. Diane Lucas, colorful head of the school in New York, who is now on her way to the west coast for a series of television shows.

Golf Party

FRIDAY THE 13th was the theme in decoration for the luncheon following the Woodstock Club's Ladies Invitational Tournament that day. Only guests from other clubs played with Woodstock women golfers acting as hostesses under the chairmanship of Josephine Madden. Unlucky 13 signs greeted them at the caddy house but to counteract those each player was given a key ring with a rabbit's foot attached as she started «off in her two-ball foursome. When the players got into the club for luncheon, they found themselves on a replica of a green in the green room. Here the pin in the hole had a number 13 flag. It was very cleverly done with a golf bag, hat and various feminine possessions scattered about on the green as they are apt to be when a lady is putting.

A BUFFET luncheon was served in the ballroom. Bright red flowers and tiny “13” flags were on each table. A bad luck ladder, gaily

ALL THE GAY vacationing and summer fun isn't in Yellowstone National Park, Virginia Beach, the Caribbean or Paris.

Take a look ‘round the country clubs. They're filled with folks relaxing and having fun. Meridian Hills Country Club, long known as a family club, is a shining sample. Just outside the new red brick and white frame clubhouse are all the facilities for enjoyment that some people journey miles and miles to find.

The youngsters and teenagrs often make clubing an all-day proposition. There are swimming golf and tennis lessons in the morning, a swim or game with the gang later. Mother gets out for lunch, a golf or card game as soon as household tasks are finished. Father finds it a perfect place to combine business and pleasure. This is the first of The Indianapolis Times picture series on summer fun at local country clubs.
