Your Next Move: Outdoors—

There's Fun In Your Back Yard

Here's the third in a Children like @ table with *

NOTE: geries by John Peter, home living counselor and designer, on how to make the most of outdoors living this summer. A plan now will mean fun later on for all your family.

By JOHN PETER MOST of my friends who “move outdoors” for

the summer say they do it

just for the fun of it. There are many other reasons — less work, more comfort, better health. But the best reason of all is “the fun of it.” You don’t have to pick up many dinner checks to ‘realize that home entertainment is the best “entertainment buy” on the market. Those who spend some time ‘and money on their yards this spring will enjoy it all summer long, and next year too.

» » - THEY SAY THAT nobody has more fun than people. No people have more fun than children. The sheer .necessity of providing an outside play area for them is overwhelming. Yet our vards are often filled with good intentions—and wanted space. Your children are happiest when they are doing something, but they tire quickly of doing the same thing over and over. “What shall I do now?” is a ery not exactly designed to turn Mother's hair gray, but to echo their restlessness. Don't fill your back yard with mechanical equipment. Give children, basic things their tmagination can work on. With sand, water, boards, boxes, barrels and ladders, children will make a backyard into a wonderful land of make-believe.

They will also make it into a°

mess. That is where planning

comes in. \ sy. a #8 . LET'S MAKE A LIST of the things we might have. We

“OH: MOTHER, I want a diamond ring, bracelets, everything,” will become a familiar request this week. Carolyn Jean. Fewell, 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Fewell, 5815 Villa. Lane, will. entertain

Saturday afternoon for her friends (9-year-olds)with a grown-up canasta party. Invitations, in the form of compacts, were sent to guests asking them to come dressed

in “Mother's finest,” wearing high-heeled shoes. These subteen-aged “ladies”

are getting a head start in the ways of society. = » ”

~~ ONE NORTH SIDE-family is passing money_ around, according to their maid. When Mrs. O. E, Newman, 4926 College Ave. working on a Red Cross campaign, called on a resident in her neighborhood, she said to the maid answering the door, “Im taking contributions for the Red Cross.” The maid answered, “They have already distributed here.” It might be that the Red Cross is passing out money in this campaign.

HISTORY WILL repeat itself tomorrow. And this will be a welcome repetition too.

Miss Katherine Keréher and Willis B. Conner III, who are being married in the Broadway Methodist Church, have chosen as their date the wedding anniversary of the future bridegroom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Conner Jr., 817 E. 57th St.. Like father, like son.

APRIL. SHOWERS, (bridal. ones, that is), can result in April flowers. At least such will be the case of Miss Jerri Lee Wilson, 31 W. Kessler Blvd, who will be married Apr. 5 to Paul David Gill.

Dridal attendants will carry parasols of fresh flowers when they enter the Northwood Christian Church, And, to further this spring theme, the church will be transformed into a garden setting complete with white gate. .

backyard will keep the youngsters off the sidewalk. Children need something to climb on—or up. Anything from a tree to a jungle gym. They should have water to play in and sand to dig in. Inflated plastic pools are low-cost and convenient. You can build your own attractive sand box of wood, concrete block or hollow tile. Add to the list as extras— but well worth the trouble to make them—simple sturdy outdoor furniture and a playhouse. " o

» THE FIRST THOUGHT in planning for children outdoors is safety. Isolate the play area from automobiles. Fences can do this. They can screen and control the clutter. But they should not hide the area from the watch-

ful eye of Mother in the kitchen .

or the bedroom. The ideal spot for playing would have both sun and shade, storage for toys, convenience to toilet and washing facilities. This may sound like a “dream” playground but it can be a reality easier than you think. For teenagers, hammocks to rest in, tables and chairs to éat at, built-in or portable barbecues to cook on, ping pong

Shellac 'Starch’

Shellac is used in almost every industry from electronics to hats—and has been used for centuries. However, ‘something new has been added to the long list of the uses for shellac. A erinoline dress manufacturer has advocated that clear shellac be brushed on to re-stiffen net crinolines. Such a delicate use should be left to the experts.
