IT TOOK a cocktail party given by Mrs. Earl J. Baier, 3348 E. Fall Creek Pkwy., in the Columbia Club yesterday to unite'two New Yorkers. Miss Dorothy Park, assistant merchandising editor

of Vogue Magazine, and Miss Mary Gordon, TWA travel adviser, were introduced for the first time yesterday by their hostess.

~The two visitors from New York had been talking to each other over the phone for almost a year, yet had never met personally. That's life in New York. ” ” . SUMMERING in the far North and wintering in the deep South iz nice if you can get it. And it's nicer still if the U.S. Army

gives it to you as it did to Capt. Dean A. Doyal and his family. Capt. and Mrs. Doyal and their children, Talis June and Charles Thomas, arrived here yesterday from Alaska to visit the captain's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Galen T. Doyal, 1518 Edgemont St. From here, they: will go to Ft. Benning, Ga., where he will be stationed. The Doyals have been at Ladd Field, Fairbanks, for- the last two years, - . » .

WHEN Larry Richardson, TV announrer, stopped by the home of Judge and Mrs. William D. Bain recently, he had more

than social ideas in mind. Larry stopped in to borrow the Bains’ fron. A short while after this strange visit, Larry returned with the borrowed item, this time staying to pay a social call. According to Mr. Richardson, he had borrowed the iron to take to the Butler campus to show the girls how it should be used. Whatever prompted him to take this step? ” ” ” AN INDIANAPOLIS man claims he sells two products— one as a vocation and the other as an avocation. And the hobby takes up the greater part of his day with his job fitting in between times. E. P. Nelson, 317 N. Riley Ave, ‘better known’ to his customers as “Bud.” sells cars on

‘his time off. But most of his

friends, who are familiar with him for_his full-time “hobby”

,job, know him by his real name

and title, the Rev. E. P. Nelson. A minister {s a salesman in one way. [J ” . IF A SALESMAN knocks on your door, at least listen to what he has to offer. That's the advice given by Mrs. Jack Hicks, Beech Grove. For the past three weeks, Mrs. Hicks has been having visits from a salesman and each time, before the man could speak, she would inform him the lady of the house was out. Last week, Mrs. Hicks wrote to a magazine company asking

Fur Coats To Be 'Slim’

Times Special

NEW YORK, Aug. 14 — The slimmer coat, as opposed tolast year's full pyramid, is the most significant fashion trend in furs for fall and winter. While coats are straighter, they are eased and manipulated for wearing comfort, and

worked in such a way as to provide silhouet news as well. The tulip line is one example of new easing of the slim line, providing low fullnes released below the knee. This comes through in the cut of the coat itself, in hidden gores, in pleats or in side vents. » ” .

SHORT COATS are another trend in furs, with greater em-

phasis on lengths that range from the 25-inch hiplength jacket to the 36-inch threequarter coat. Newly tapered sleeves, coming from a soft natural shoulder line, rounding out to melon fullness and graduating in at the wrist are another highlight. Collars are mainly small, built up to frame the face and stand slightly away from the neck.

TEEN-AGERS are taking their Musical Review to heart. At a recent rehearsal, Ed Klinge, 1020 Hervey St., was asked to go out and get cokes for the group.

Don't Be ‘Stamp eded’ Into Anger

By MURIEL LAWRENCE AT 4 O'CLOCK of an afternoon, the stationery store:near my home is al-

ways crowded. Yesterday I was looking over its magazine rack when a young mother came in with her JYittla DoYy. While she was ' busy at the counter, he pushed past me, intent on an upper shelf of comie books. Before I could offer to reach him the one he wanted, he had clambered up on a lower shelf to get it himself. He lost his balance and brought down a pile of still-unassorted paperbound books. It was a hot afternoon. You could feel the wave of general irritation at the mother of the disturbing little boy. You could also see her register it—and resist it. Quietly turning from the counter she opened her bag and said, “All right, Rickie, take this tissue and pick them all up. Wipe each book off and give it to me. I will put them back on the shelf.” u ” 5 IT TOOK her five minutes to see that her child ‘made right” his carelessness. Almost at once the disapproving atmosphere changed. The , young mother's refusal to be stampeded into irritation with her child gave no encouragement to the irritation of the proprie-

Mrs. Lawrence

tor and 1p other customers, dissipated. As she left Bs store, Rickie skipping happily along beside her, someone said, “She knows how to handle him, doesn't she?” According to a new book, “Better Home Discipline,” more than 6000 American families consider ‘making right” the most effective punishment we can give to children. = . ~

AUTHORS Norman E. Cutts and Nicholas Moseley report that a survey of these parents shows that the youngster who is required to ‘make right” his offense seldom repeats it. However, while these fathers and mothers agree almost unanimously on the usefulness of this discipline tool, thay use it most often in connection with broken windows, stealing, extravagant spending and charging purchases without permission. “ ~ » EDUCATORS Cutts a n d Moseley think it's odd that we tend to limit this reliable punishment to offenses against property. They point out that it works just as effectively in situations such as Rickie presented, and corrects messy playing in inappropriate places, forgetfulnes§®and many other kinds of careless behavior. Its justice, they say, is readily apparent without a lot of talk, even to the little ones. As it enables us to correct without scolding or labeling, they suggest that it helps avoid resentments that-make it almost impossible for Johnny to want to “make right” the wrong he has done.

IF WE THINK hd it, we'll see that it is not so odd that we neglect this punishment except when we are faced with property offenses, Seeing that chil-

dren ‘make right” of wrong takes self-céntrol and time from us. Perhaps we begrudge

self-control and time unless we are touched in that most sensitive place—the pocketbook. It's poor economy to save the most effective punishment we have just for the occasions when we have to see that Johnny and Mary pay out cash or pay it out ourselves, ~ - ~ NOTE: The following letter was received from Mrs. Winfield Firman, 339 W. Hampton Dr., Indianapolis.

Dear Mrs. Lawrence:

It is always rewarding to me after reading superficial, artificial “advice” to find your column in the paper. Your depth and insight into human relations are wonderful. Indeed I feel very disappointed when I miss your column. We are fairly new to Indianapolis and The Times but as long as you appear in the paper, The Times will be welcome. This is my very first fan letter but it became imperative for me tp express my feeling after reading so many unenlightened articles by “psychologists.” It would be a great treat to know you and if you are ever in our vicinity please come talk with us. Most sincerely, Juliet Firman

My Day—

Poverty-Stricken Nations Must Go to Work, Too

By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

HYDE PARK, Aug. 14—There was a headline in one of the papers the other day which interested me very

much. Above a story about Egypt, it stated:

‘Dictator

Hopes United States Will Furnish Arms, Help Wipe Out

Poverty.” Helping to wipe out poverty is almost more important than furnishing arms in many countries such as Egypt, but I wonder whether there is such a thing as just giving aid and having it succeed. A great “deal more has to be done within the country itself than can be done by any outside country. This is something not only we have to face, but all nations that are today finding their people stirring against conditions under which they have lived during the past few years must come to realize that this is an internal problem. One cannot successfully use aid accorded from outside unless one is actually making a tremen-

fundamental change in the thinking of groups at the top in many countries where a few have been privileged and the masses have been impoverished. How this change would take place nobody yet knows, because in most places where it has come about it has taken generations. The people themselves often have been the ones who fought for the change. There is not time for this gradual evolution today, nor for the gradual education of people at the top. The need is so pressing that people must learn quickly.

From 22 to 18,000

Thomas Jefferson was the first Secretary of State of the United States, with a staff of only 22 persons. The State Department now has a staff of about 18,000.

By DOUGLAS LARSEN Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 —There's at least one big group of government work-

ers here who are eager for

a change of administration in November. It's the female army of stenographers, secretaries and

"clerks who work for Uncle Sam

five days a week in the District of Columbia.

In a nutshell, this is their

attitude: They think that all. of the eligible men in the federal Service already have been picked off. “And they think

the hachelors left:are too fat and to bald, either to date or to marry. They also resent what they call “the federal male spread.” That's sort of too much horizontal seating capacity caused by too much sitting.

LJ » » THEY ARE convinced the only way their aspect of their manpower problem can be licked is by a complete turnover of male personnel—which of course means election of the Republicans in November. The sentiment of the government girls was first revealed in a recent letter to the Washington Daily News. It said in part: “Frankly, we're sick of the present crop of males whb are our bosses. The attractive ones have been around so long they're all married. The rest been around so long they're either too fat or too bald or too both. And they've got more federal spread than the gals, which is the worst you can say.

“As a matter of fact, all of the men in government have gotten so blase or lazy they

don't even bother to pinch you or give you a friendly pat now and then. Even government secretaries need that kind of attention once in a while. It keeps up morale. “If Gen. Eisenhower or Sen. Lodge are samples of what the GOP would bring to town, brother, bring 'em on.” ” s s ” A SAMPLING of opinion among scores of government gals in all of the agencies confirms this opinion in only slightly varying detail. A stenographer at the Department of Commerce says: “They talk about corruption in government. What gets me is

FEDERAL MALE — The horizontal spread disturbs the girls.

corpulence in government. By the dooks of the men in our office you'd think there were no Democrats with waistlines under 42 inches.” A pretty but pouty clerk at the Atomic Energy Commission says about the men in her office: “The ‘men around here take for granted what is only rumored about atomic radiation. They could at least try to find out if it was true or not. Gee whiz, it's as bad as though we had really been bombed.”

» » vy A YOUNG GAL cruited from Michigan job in the Department of Justice says: “When the Civil Service Commission told me all about the great opportunities in Washington, I had no idea all they meant was a chance to earn more money. But what good is money? You buy new clothes and none of the men notice you anyway.”

Baby's first teeth usually cause quite a bit of concern. Unfortunately many new mothers have preconceived notions about thé teething’period, varying from when the teeth should appear to just what type of symptoms may be expected. If vour baby has shown no signs of teething, despite the fact that she is all of seven months old, doctors say there is absolutely no need for you to worry. Some infants don't get their first teeth until they are a year old.

Baby's Teething Takes Time

“Your main interest should be the general health of your baby. If she is developing normally in every way, eating the right foods, and getting enough rest,

“you can be pretty certain her

teeth will have a- normal growth. There is no set pattern of symptoms for you to look for, either. "The symptoms depend on the child. One youngster may suddenly sprout her first tooth without any previous indication, while another may go through a crying, discontented
