BETTY CANARY
Uh, Vacation, Uh,
With Children, Uh
By BETTY CANARY
My sister took three of my children on a vacation trip.
“Greater love hath no woman than an aunt who . . .” No,
that’s not it. “Greater cruelty hath no woman than a
mother who would turn three children onto an unsuspect
ing sister?’’ I can’t remember the words. More important,
my sister is unable to remember the vacation!
For a while she kept rubbing her eyes and saying, “I
don’t know WHAT happened!”
“Well,” I’d say soothingly, “you’re home safe and that’s
the important thing.”
“Home?” she’d cry with a piteous, mewing sound. “You
mean it’s all over?”
“Now, now,” I would comfort her. “Just rest and for
get.”
Actually, it is her fault. I warned her. “Your children
are adults now,” I said. “It’s been a long time since you’ve
traveled with small children.”
“Oh, we’ll have a wonderful time,” she cooed.
“Remember how it used to be?” I asked. “Stopping at
every gas station? Quarreling over swimming before
breakfast? Being stuck in a motel in the rain?”
“Being around small children keeps one young-at
heart!” she countered.
There are some people in the world who won’t take
WHY? for an answer. So, they left with their little
flowered suitcases neatly packed, everyone crisp and
bright-eyed. Then, they returned and surely the Donner
party must have looked in better shape at the end of that
fateful journey.
As the children greeted us with cries of delight, aunt
Ruth dropped mushily into the front seat of her car.
I know it was a marvelous experience for the children.
They saw historical Boston, then on to the mountains, then
swimming in the Atlantic. And, they picked up half the
rocks in Maine to bring home to mother. As soon as my
sister is capable of speech, I’m sure I’ll hear all about
everything.
I’m especially interested in what happened in Vermont.
I mean, why do I have to mail back 14 motel room keys?
And, there’s the bill from a restaurant in Portsmouth,
N.H. The children were rather vague when I asked, but it
has something to do with leaning into a stack of plates.
My sister, a sociologist by training, hasn’t talked much
since returning from the trip. I mean, she has not used
any of those terms she was so fond of before the trip. She
has said nothing about “intra-family relationships,” and she
has hardly mentioned the stuff about children needing
meaningful travel experiences. There IS one thing. She
mumbles a lot about sibling rivalry.
I thought she had fully recovered from the rigors of
travel when her analyst stopped making house calls, but
she may be having a relapse. Yesterday I heard her say to
my son, “Now, next year we’re going to see the Grand
Canyon!”

Keep Child’s Feet Unshod
During His Naptime
By POLLY CRAMER
DEAR POLLY—I always enjoy the Point 0 ” ’it the one
written by Pat burned me up. The heading . “Daddy’s
Socks Ease Tot’s Naptime”) is misleading. eajes the
job for mom and that is all. Everyone likes their shoes
off once in awhile to ease their feet, and this child has to
have socks put over them just to save mom some trouble.
I have six children who have all outgrown naps but I never
found it too much trouble to remove their shoes and socks
for naptime. Thanks for listening to my gripe.—ALlCE
DEAR POLLY—As a busy mother of five lam always
interested in time-savers but I disagree with Pat about
leaving baby’s shoes on while he naps. It is important that
a child’s feet get rest while he is sleeping. Shoes should
always be removed so that the toe and foot muscles can
relax. Surely it does not take much longer to remove his
shoes than to slip a pair of socks over them. I do think,
however that this idea would be great when traveling in
the car. It would protect the upholstery and also is good
when carrying a small child whose white shoes have just
been polished.—SHlßLEY
DEAR POLLY—For
quick, easy cleanups when
on picnics or other outings,
fill two liquid soap contain
ers (those for dishwashing
liquid) with water. Mix a
little liquid soap with the
water in ONE. As cleanups
are needed, simply squirt
and rub on some soapy
water and then rinse with
water from the other bottle.
—CAROLYN.
DEAR POLLY—I find it a great timesaver to keep salt
and pepper shakers, filled napkin holder, sugar bowl, cat
sup, etc., stashed away on a 9-inch-square tray all ready
for table setting. Saves many steps and oversights.
For packing lunches I keep a separate flat tray contain
ing sandwich ingredients, such as mustard, salad dressing,
cheese, meat and so on, ready in the refrigerator. Saves
sorting and locating time as everything is removed at one
time.—MßS. G. W. B.
«™«M™p o ||y's Problem»»w»w»
DEAR POLLY—I got some mud on my white satin
pumps the first time I wore them. My shoemaker tells
me there is no way to clean them but I hope some
reader will have discovered away this can be done.
