And After Leisure, What?
It is the unexpected that throws you. Like
today when 1 got my ironing done. It was
finished, over, completed. When I got to the
bottom of the basket I automatically checked
the refrigerator and there was nothing there.
I checked the electric roaster and nothing
was hidden there. I called my neighbor,
thinking possibly I had left some in her
refrigerator but there was nothing.
With numb fingers I loosened the catch
of the board, gently lifted it from the
grooves it has worn in the floor and placed
it reverently in the closet.
I sat on the sofa for awhile, a woman
without a purpose. I remembered the neigh
bor child I had met in the supermarket two
weeks ago who looked at me with startled
recognition and said, “Gee, I didn’t know
you without the steam iron.”
And I remembered other days. Days when
J had merrily left unfinished ironing in order
to clean the bathroom or go out to lunch and
things like that. But now when the ironing
was really done it sort of took the zest out
of those mad excursions.
Listlessly I dragged myself to the kitchen
and made some Jello salads and fixed a

REDUCE REFRESHMENTS
ODIHAM, England (UPD—
Police Sunday served fair
warning on members of the
casserole for tomorrow’s lunch I have
planned for my cousin Ellen. Then I re
membered a list 1 made once when I was blue
and out of sorts. It was called "Things to
do if I ever get the ironing done.” Surely
this was going to be an answer to a prayer!
It took a bit of digging but at last I found
it and read it. It was a selfish list —things I
wanted only for myself.
Then I remembered Ellen was coming
over and I knew 1 should be busy getting
things ready, like washing my best china so
she would have something entertaining to
do while I was getting lunch. Ellen turns
over plates and things to check on how good
they are. j
I
It came to me then—a way to give Ellen
the thrill of her life. I mean, I am fond of
Ellen and although it has taken me all after
noon I have been willing to spend all this
time just for her. I can hardly wait until she
gets here!
1 will leave the living room and Ellen will
start picking up the ashtrays and vases, see,
and there on the bottoms will be inscribed,

Trust: A Child's Beacon
By MURIEL LAWRENCE, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
2x/
DEAR MRS. LAWRENCE: I am the grand
mother of a 4%-year-old boy who tyrannizes
his older brother. At bedtime when I am
baby-sitting for my son and daughter-in-law,
he screams himself into a tantrum if I give
his brother first choice from the candy jar.
If his mother is preparing to drive anywhere,
he will race to grab the front seat beside her
so his brother can’t have it. Isn’t he old
enough to be taught to take turns with his
brother at what he wants?
ANSWER: Sure he Is. But he’s not going
to be taught this lesson. His mother doesn’t
want to teach it to him.
If we really want to teach “turn-taking” to
a small child, we do it. We lift him out of the
front seat he has appropriated, deposit him
in the back and say.
“It’s Buddy’s turn today. Tomorrow it will
be yours. I promise it to you.”
And all the howls he can emit don’t disturb
us. They don’t disturb us because we trust
our ability to keep our.promises. After a
bit the small one learns to trust it, too. And
the howls are reduced to perfunctory mutter
ings.
SIGN HIM UP
LONDON (UPD—Peter Lon
gley, seeing two men smash a
store window ana begin remov
ing merchandise, floored ona
with a left to the jaw and held
the other for police—until
television crewmen across the
street explained the “thieves”
were actors in a crime
documentary program, televi
sion spokesmen said today.
So the problem is not the tyranny of this
child. It’s his mother’s distrust of herself as
a promise-keeper.
The experts ascribe the small child’s resist
ance to “turn-taking” to his inability to
conceive of a future which will deliver what
he wants now. But the experts are way off
beam in this matter. If a 4Va-year-old can’t
trust the future to produce his turn at the
proper time, it's because he doesn’t trust u?
to come through with it.
Moreover, his suspiciousness is intelligent.
He has again and again witnessed the ease
with which his howls scare us into cheating
his older brother of his rightful turn at the
car’s front seat. He has repeatedly noted
how quick we are to relinquish defense of
his brother’s turn. He sees no reason to
expect us to defend his when the time for
defending it arrives.
By the age of three, the small child should
have accumulated enough experience of our
reliability to trust us whsn we say, “I prom
ise you your turn tomorrow.” If he hasn’t,
his intelligence is either retarded or our un
reliability has made the now of possession
the only one to count on.
Dixie Hills Death
Remains A Mystery
By H. P. LEIFERMANN
ATLANTA (UPD —A young
Negro Wednesday night told the
aldermanic police committee he
could identify “by name” the
policeman connected with the
shotgun slaying of Timothy
Ross during the Dixie Hills dis
turbance on June 20.
“I recognized one of the offi
cers by name,” said 20-year-old
Johnny Burkes. But he added
he would “have to think about
it” before he would give the
name to authorities.
Negro witnesses have not
come forward earlier because
of “fear of bodily harm” said
the Rev. Joseph Boone, an of
ficial of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference.
Six Negroes, some wounded
In the rioting, appeared before
tb° committee to testify about
the slaying of Ross, who was
shot while sitting n the steps
of an apartment building watch
ing the riot at a nearby shop
ping center.
Atlanta police officials told
the board their investigation
turned up no evidence to sub
stantiate the Negroes’ accusa
tions.
“We haven’t been able to find
anyone in the Dixie Hills area
that would tell us anything,”
said Capt. W. L. Duncan.
Duncan said the seven police
men in the area where Ross
was shot denied firing their
shotguns in his direction. Ross
was hit by buckshot of the
same size used in police riot
guns.
Charlie Carrolton, a truck
driver, said he was sitting on
the steps with Ross when buck
shot peppered the side of the
apartment building. Carrolton
said he opened a screen door
and scrambled inside.
One by one, three wounded
Negroes stumbled into the a
partment behind him and Ross
sprawled on the steps, Car
rolton said.

KATHMANDU, Nepal (UPI)
—Barbar, a lion cub kept alive
on bottles of milk since birth,
today stubbornly refused to
switch over to the raw meat
diet usually preferred by the
king of beasts.
He sat in his cage and whined
—like any small child—until
exasperated zoo keepers pro
duced his nippled bottle.
“This can’t go on forever this
way, said one bewildered
official. "Who ever heard of a
vegetarian lion?”
