Furniture for a child's world WEST LAFAYETTE - Young children's worlds are mainly limited to their immediate surroundings — the home and its furnishings. When you select furniture for young children, consider their needs as they grow and explore the world around them, says Ezelle Johnson, extension specialist in home furnishings at Purdue university. Small children do not need a lot of furniture, but ownership and personal space are very important to them. Having a bed or a chair to call their own helps children to strengthen their sense of security because they depend on these items to be there everyday. adds the Purdue specialist. Having personal space —a place at the dining table, floor space to play — helps children develop feelings of self-worth, of belonging and of sharing with other members of the family. Toddlers are born explorers. They use all their senses in this exploration; they want to see and hear, touch, taste and smell everything. They also like to crawl over, under, through and on top of furniture. For this reason, says the specialists safety is an important factor in selecting furniture for small children. Select sturdy well-balanced pieces that are free-from rough edges and sharp corners. Be sure that paints and finishes are non-toxic and that surfaces are smooth. Avoid headboards and chairs with spokes or slats set more than 2** inches apart. Tall narrow shelves can be hazardous, too. Low open shelves allow children to see and reach toys without climbing. Small open cubes are good choices for play furniture. They are good for crawling into and over, and they can be pushed and moved around. Sturdy cubes can be used as tables, shelves, chairs and storage boxes, she suggests. Remember, small children need only furniture which is appropriate to their age, skills, and abilities. A few brightly colored pieces and a lot of open floor space are sufficient for the very young. Other pieces can be added as children grow and as their needs change. March report given for fire-ambulance units Syracuse fire chief Robert L. Penick, Sr., has listed the monthly report for March as follows: Fire calls, 11 and ambulance. 25. for a totalbf 109 man hours for the ambulance and 324 hours on fires. A break dow-n listed one fire call as commercial, five residential, and five for grass fires. EDITH BAUMGARTNER RETURNS FROM TRIP Mrs. Herbert (Edith I.)
