FALL MEANS CHECK-UP TIME LAFAYETTE - Back to school means check-up time. Physical checkups always seem to show a surprising amount of growth in your children Clothing checkups often reveal last spring's best clothes are too short and tight and that feet refuse to be stuffed into that pair of good shoes. But don't stop here, cautions Miss Ezelle Johnson, extension home furnishings specialist at Purdue university. Take a look at the mattresses to see how well they stand up to the check list. Bumpy mattresses or those with a sinking middle do not give support for the eight hours comfortable sleep important to good growth and good grades. Be sure the mattress is firm enough to give support for the growth of your child. A mattress that gave good support last year may not be firm enough this year. And how about length if your son is suddenly six feet two? A bed needs to be seven inches longer than the person using it. Beds are usually 75 inches long, but are available in 80-inch lengths. You can have them made any length by special order. Whether you prefer solid upholstered mattresses, innersprings. or foam mattresses, check the following qualities when making replacements: Quietness - A good mattress does not creak and groan under movement. Resilience - Every good mattress is resilient and should spring back to shape when pressure is removed. Buoyancy - A good mattress supports the body on a level plane. Good workmanship - A good mattress should have careful tailoring and have a cover of smooth, durable, firmly-woven fabric. Firmly-woven damask and twill ticking are often used and give excellent service. The mattress may be tufted, quilted, or plain, as long as the filling is secure and will not h;mp or sift. It should have firmly attached handles for moving or turning, and have strong borders which will not sag. New materials - Good mattresses contain only new materials, as required by law.

Accessories In A Room Can Actually Stimulate Learning. Study Reveals

LAFAYETTE — Accessories can do more than brighten a room, they can actually stimulate learning when used wisely, says Miss Ezelle Johnson, extension home furnishings specialist at Purdue university. Decorator items may be placed strategically in every room in the house with your child's education in mind. A wise mother will keep abreast of her child’s educational process and whenever possible adapt accessories to correlate with subjects of current interest Miss Johnson offers the following suggestions for education-oriented decorating: Large world maps could be a permanent accessory in family room or child’s study area. Not only do they colorfully provide an aid to your child’s geographical study, but they can be used by the entire family in keeping abreast of current events or even in planning vacations. For the child who is intrigued with mathematics or perhaps even puzzled by it, an abacus can add new subject interest. Articles purchased by family members while traveling will bring back fond memories and help emphasize cultures of the

Well Lighted Desk Makes Home Study Easier LAFAYETTE — The beginning of school means the beginning of home study for most students. And a well-lighted desk or study center can make the task much easier. For concentrated study. Miss Ruth Hutcheson, extension housing specialist at Purdue university, recommends use of a well designed study lamp with the following characteristics: —a bowl or disc shaped diffuser to spread the light and reduce glare —a three-way socket and switch to accommodate not less than a 200 watt bulb —a white lined, light colored shade 16 inches wide at lower edge Lamps such as these have met specifications of the Better Light Better Sight Bureau and bear a tag stating, “This is a Better Light Better Sight Bureau Study Lamp." Surroundings also contribute to lighting of the study area, says Miss Hutcheson. —The desk should be placed flat against a wall, avoiding placement in front of a window. Daytime glare and nightime darkness both cause distracting contrast with reading and writing materials. —Walls should be non-glossy and free of high-contrast or “busy” pattern. If wall is dark or patterned, hang a light-colored tack board with bottom edge close to desk top. This will minimize disturbing contrast between background and working materials. -Flat-top desks or tables 28-29 inches are best as they provide more work area and are easier to light. Top surface of desk should be non-glossy and light in color. The center of the lampshade should be 15 inches to left of work center (or right for left-handed person) and 12 inches back from front edge of desk. You And Social Security Q-1 am receiving benefits for myself and three small children. We have been getting payments since my husband’s death a year ago. If I return to full time work will our benefits stop? A- As a widow- the work you will do only affect your payments and not the children's. It seems the maxi coat has created somewhat of a closet problem To get away from trailing dust on the closet floor. Purdue university’s extension housing specialist suggests: putting coat in a long garment bag. raising the rod in the closet, or pinning up the skirt of the coat as if it were a diaper.

various parts of the world. These might include an Indian blanket, sea shells, or Mexican pottery. Pictures, prints, and colorful posters could provide another means of learning through a decorative media. Never underestimate the ability of your child to appreciate art. Take the time to explain to him how pictures are related to some of his academic interests. Many local libraries rent pictures by the month for a nominal fee. This allows for an inexpensive change of pictorial scenery and enables you to keep pictures related to current studies. Though you may not consider books as decorator objects, they can be if strategically placed for effectiveness. Those with pictures will have particular appeal for your young child as he sees authentic pictures related to his school work. Once again the library can serve as an accessorizing source. Bulletin boards have been particularly popular with the school-age child for a number of years. Here he can tack items of special personal interest to him as well as have space for displaying school related objects.
