Grandma pe” Inc, Is New, but Grandma Will Be 92 Sunday
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 5~—Grandma Moses, the home-
spun painter who will be 92 years old Sunday, is incor- -
porated now,
She still hasn't bought an easel, but she has a cor-
poration to handle her business, two big business contracts and paintings in museums on both sides of the Atlantic. The successful farm woman is quietly painting away at her homie in Eagle Bridge, N, Y,, with the canvas resting on her lap. She calls the room where she paints a utility room, not a studio.
» o . THE NUMBER OF “primitive” paintings she has completed passed .the 500 mark last year. At 91 she quickly learned a new technique—painting on tile—and promptly turned out 60 tile squares to be copied for production.’ Her success caused the creation of an office here called Grandma Moses Properties, Inc. The staff tries to protect the lively but frail little artist from visitors and phone calls, though she enjoys nothing more than meeting people interested in her paintings and “talking about their problems,” according to Hildegarde Bachert, a corpora-
tion member, ” » »
IN THE LAST 12 months two of the untrained artist's paintings have been hung in art museums in Paris and Vienna. Her cture “Fourth of July” was ung in the President's living quarters in the Whité House.

Neatness
Is a Habit
Beauty away from home involves many factors other than your make-up. One of the most pertinent is the care you give to property that is not your own. How many times have you visited the rest room in a theater, restaurant or department store only to find the floor littered with paper, the mirror and make-up shelves smeared with powder and lipstick stains, and the basin covered with fallen hairs? Why some women feel no responsibility to use a waste paper basket and wipe up spilled makeup when they are
About two-
. tant to make
She published her autobiography and it became a best-seller.
“No amount of success can make her get an easel,” said Miss Bachert. “And she is as untouched by financial matters as she ever was.” The ranch style house where Grandma Moses lives with her daughter, across the road from the farm home where she reared her family, boasts a new television set, but few signs of luxury which a successful painter could afford. “She wasn’t an overnight success, you know,” said Miss Bachert. “It wasn't until she was 83 that she really began to attract public notice.” At Eagle Bridge, Grandma Moses plans: to celebrate her 92d birthday with only her immediate family. “I do not anticipate more than a year ahead of time,” she said, “but I am feeling fine and painting every day.”
Your Child's Health—
By BETTY LOCHER 77 ANOTHER, stone in the foundation of interna-
tional finderstanding is be-
ing laid by Miss Alie Wiegersma, a librarian frqgm Amsterdam, Holland, now in the United States as an exchange student.
Through the efforts of Alpha Xi Delta Sorority, she will take courses in adult education and
public relations at the Univer-
sity of California in Los Angeles during the fall semester.
She has spent several days in Indianapolis this week studying the methods used at the Jndiana State Library. “Public libraries in Holland are set up after the example of the American system,” she says. “Your libraries have been established many years. In Holland, there have been libraries for public use only since 1900.”
. » » MISS WIEGERSMA is much impressed with the state-wide services offered by the library, enabling smaller cities to take advantage of its fine research material, During her visit she addressed the American Association of University Women. “They are interested in the same things that women in Holland are interestéd in,” she smiled. “They are planning now a Book and Toy exhibit which is very much like the activity of Dutch women in the field of education.” Miss Wiegersma also is interested in our whole system of education, so different from that of Europe. “Americans are much better adjusted socially as a result of the extra-curricular activities offered in your schools,” she said. “Europeans absorb more cultural and factual knowledge.”
Cerebral Palsy Cases Need Special Treatment
By DR. EDWIN P. JORDAN MANY children are born each year with an unfortunate condition known as cerebral palsy (formerly mis-
takenly called ‘“spastic”).
It is said that there are in the neighborhood of 126
youngsters under 21 years of age with cerebral palsy "for every 100,000 in the population as a whole. Of this number,
thirds are mentally normal, but ap- 3 p r o ximately half of them are disabled in other respects to require special treatment.

promptly. Children handicapped by cerebral palsy need both physical and mental care. On the physical side there should be a longrange plan set up by the medical advisers with the co-opera-tion of the home and the school. Special muscle training should be started at the earliest possible moment in order to decrease the difficulty with move-
ment. » LJ »
CERTAIN GAMES are par-
ticularly adaptable for these handicapped youngsters. Exercise using musie or verse and songs may be useful. Regular eating, sleeping, resting, bathing, dressing and play habits should accompany the exercises
prescribed by the physician. The educational and psychological assistance which can be given is most important. A calm, harmonious home life is desirable. The education should be given at the speed which the youngster can take easily and should be carried as far as it is reasonable to go. A child afflicted in this way usually progresses at a slower rate than others of the same age. Encouragemént is important. The youngster with cerebral ‘palsy should have some play with normal. children. The speech can be encouraged. Although these youngsters need sympathy and affection, they ought not to be pampered or spoiled. . » = » THERE are now large numbers of nurses, psychologists and teachers who understand the - special problems involved. Sometimes the youngsters have superior intellects but have difficulty in- developing them satisfactorily in regular schools.
