account of the window shopping.
When work was finished, Mary
stopped off with her friends for
a c¢ocktail or cup of coffee, and
then did some hurried marketing
and then went home and had her
dinner. Later, she visited, went to
a movie, listened to the radio or
even had dates.
However, one fine day Mary
read an article in a newspaper
about how she had better make
a better life for herself, so she
clipped out the article and went
‘all out for the New Life.
She started getting up~ at seven
o’clock, inaugurating the day with
two glasses of water and some ex
ercises on the bedroom floor. Then
she showered, and took a long time
getting her clothes and face on
right. She had breakfast of fruit,
wheat germ and cereal and black
coffee. Then she walked briskly to
work, and in the course of her
work, toeok time out frequently to
check her posture, facial express
sions, speech and attitudes. At
lunch time she ate a little collation
she’d prepared at home and for
the other half-hour rested with
her feet elevated, did things call
ed #“restricted posture routines,”
and some facial and eye routines,
finally freshing herself up and re
turning te her work.
During the afternonn, she wasn’t
fighting boredom and fatigue but
even found time to keep on check
ing her posture, facial expressions,
speech, afttiiudes and conversa
tion. She went straight home from
the office, “practiced relaxation”
and read current events or a good
novel. Or she rested with her
feet elevated, did posture . .routin
es again and also face, lip, tongue
and jaw exercises. e
After all this she settled down
to dinner of salad, broiled meat,
o
two vegetables 'iand a glass of
milk. From 7p. m., until she went
to bed on the stroke of 11, Mary
gxoomed herself and her clothes.
e washed and ironed. She rub
bed oil all over herself, she set
her hair, manicured her fingers,
mended and wound up by soaking
in a hot tub for 20 minutes. Then
lshe went to becd.
After six months of this rou
tine, Mary was the handsomest
hermit that ever worked in a bus
’iness office. Her emplovers
‘thought she was a pearl and visi
tors to the office invariably re
‘marked about what a well-groom
ed girl that was sitting over in the
corner, sitting up very straight.
The other girls in the ofiice, with
whom she used to have luncheon
with a rich dessert or an after
work cocktail, soon gave up talk
ing to Mary. They said she never
seemed to be thinking about what
she said, but just how she said it.
Finally Mary didn’t have any
chums any more and her new way
of life completely precluded a
chance of making any. One fine
day Mary was resting with her
feet elevated, doing her jaw,
tongue and lip exercises and she
suddenly heard herself saying: “I
will never eat another mouthful of
wheat germ cereal.”
The next day she had two cock
tails and two rich desserts for
lunch, kept her feet on the floor
all day and went to a double
feature movie with a boy in the
wholesale department. A month
later they were married and now
they both get up at the last possi
ble minuate, eat nothing but‘
doughnuts for breakfast and‘
haven’t checked their posture for
months. They are both getting
overweight and they don’t know
much about the good current
novels. But they are extremely
happy. |

“PEN FRIENDS” MEET: After yearsof
correspondence, these Cleveland World
Friends’ Club members and their opposite
numbers from other countries get together
"FRIENDSHIP CIRCUIT RIDER
STIRS UP A GLOBAL GABFEST
BY RICHARD KLEINER
NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK— (NEA) — Take
about 143,000 youngsters writing
letters back and forth to each
other, and you're bound to stir up
something. Margaret Johnson has
done just that.
Mrs. Johnson is director of the
Cleveland ress World Friends'
Club. As such, she supervises the
“pen friendships” of 58,000 Cleve
land boys and girls betwween 10
and 20, and 85,000 foreign children
in over 80 countries of the world.
She has just completed her sec
ond visit to Europe, where she
saw at first hand the results of
the global gabfest by mail. She
visited in h%mes of her foreign
correspondents, talked with teach
ers, exchanged notes with other
letter-encouraging groups and, in
cidentally, had a good time.
® 9
She found the correspondenct
tie with the United States is a big
thing in the lives of many Euro
pean youngsters, .especially in
these days of international ten
sion.
“I think the World Friends’
Club, and groups like it, is a great
hope for peace,” she said. “Every
where T went they felt that this
idea is much more important to
day than ever before.” °
Education authorities in the
American Zone of Germany, for
example, told Mrs. Johnson they
consider her club vitally impor
tant. The exchange of letters with
American youth, they said,
spreads the democratic philosophy
far better than any other possible
means.
* * *
During her trip—on which she
visited France, Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, the Netherlands,
Denmark, Scotland, Northern Ire
land and England — she wrote
weekly letters back to Cleveland.
These appeared in the club’s
once-a-week space in the Press,
signed “Your Friendship Circuit
Rider, Margaret Johnson.”
She told of her meetings with
pen friends of Clevelanders and
their families. In her 50-odd vis
its in the homes of the youngsters,
she was always welcomed with
all the hospitality they could mus
ter. Parents shared the joy of
‘meeting the woman who had
brought so much pleasure into the
in Cleveland. Left to right: Jerry Perl

lives of their children. j
In Belfast, for example, she
visited with a girl who has been
writing to a Cleveland girl for
several years. The Irish child's
father wanted to show his appre
ciation, but, as a taxi driver, he
couldn’t do much. The only thing
he could do was to take Mrs.
Johnsen on a long drive up the
coast of Ireland in his cab. They
both enjoyed ‘theq ox;ting.
The Club was founded 13 years
ago, as part of the boys and girfls
page of the Press. When the page
was dropped, the club continued.
It is run with loving care by Mrs.
Johnson, an eager, motherly
looking woman. Her two daugh
ters are enthusiastic club mem
bers, too. L =
When a youngster applies for
membership, a yellow card is fill
ed out at club headquarters. On
the card goes all the vital statictics
—name, age, sex, hobbies. The
cards are matched up with blue
cards with similar data on for
eign children. Their names are ob
fained through agencies, teachers
and other interested groups. he
Clevelander gets the name and
address of his new pen friend, and
4rom then on it’s up to them,
Among the happiest club mem
bers are the hobbyists. Collgetors
of stamps, coins, dolls and books
freely trade their prizes. Numer
ous chess games are in progress
by mail. A Cleveland and a Janan
ese girl, both artists, white illus~
trated letters. .
. E *
The club also serves as a lan
guage proiect in some Cleveland
schools. Whole classes in French,
Spanish and German get names
of children in countries speaking
those tongues. The letters start out
half in English and half in the
other language, but Mrs. Johnson
admits that they usually lapse into
native language before too long.
In non-language project pen
friendships, however, the corre
spondence is usually in English.
Besides language classes, other
Cleveland groups enter the club
in wholesale lots. There are many
Boy and Girl Scout troops that
belong in toto. For the Girl
Scouts, membership qualifies them
for a merit badge.
Probably the proudest moments
of Mrs. Johnson’s life come from
the successful results of friend~
ships started by mail. Several Eu=
ropens have visited their pen
friends in Cleveland. Others have
become so interested in the Uni
‘ted States that they’ve come here
for college.
__One Dutch girl came to the
United® States under the quota,
after years of reading glowing let
ters from her Cleveland correspon
dent. She stayed with her pen
friend on her parents’ farm near
Cleyeland and liked it so much
that she got a job. Now she’s mar
ried and very happy that she be-
E gan by writing a letter.
Add “cybernetics” to your mod

word which applies to the science

are solving problems in seconds
that would require many months
with pencil and paper.

BEST REST
"
Mid-Day Nap
Aids Efficiency
By ALACE HART
NEA Staff Writer
There’s no need for a house
wife to apologize if the doorbell
or telephone summons her from a
mid-day nap. A siesta is efficiency,
not laziness.
It’s only common-sense to pro=-
vide some time in your busy sche
dule for restocking your energy.
After such respite, you can make
far better use of your afternoon
and evening working hours. And
your can hang up your towel after
supper dishes are finished with
out that all-gone feeling to spoil
what remains of the evening.
Although cat-naps in chairs or
quick snoozes on the couch are
better than no rest at all, best re
sults are obtained from a real
sleep, however brief, on the bed.
This does not mean that a fresh
-1 mada hed must be disarranged.
An extra coverlet from linen
cioset or blanket chest will suffice.
It's a good idea to remove your
dress as well as your shoes, so that
your body can relax all over with
out binding or constriction. A
housecoat laid out nearby will
prepare you for emergency calls to
door or phone.
Some women even quite un
abashedly post notes on their doors
asking callers not to disturb them
for a specified time while they
nap.
Wheter you are the note-post- |
ing type or not, mark out in your
own mind the number of minutes
you plan to sleep. This may be 15
minutees to perhaps two hours, de
pending upon individual needs.
Too-long naps are not advisable,
‘as they are time-wasters and
leave you too groggy for efficient
work tthereafter.
After sticking to a brief-sieep
schedule for a few days. sand
wiching it in during baby’s nap or
whenever else there’s time, most
women find it easy to take full
advantage of their rest time. They
dron immediately into slumber
without interupting themselves,
either mentally or physically, with |
household tasks still undone. |

It is possible to measure accu
rately the speed of plant growth.

“How about a column aimed at
those mothers who are so afraid
their children might get hurt or get
in trouble of some kind they won’t
give them any of the freedom al
lowed other children of the same
age?”
That suggestion is made by a
father who says his wife is mak
ing a sissy out of their boy by al
ways pleading: “I'd be worried to
death about him” when he wants
to do something the other boys are
doing.
“1 couldn’t even talk her' into
letting him have a bike until he
was two years older than the oth
er kids in the neighborhood were
when they got theirs. Now she is
afraid for him to go to camp. And
she insists on driving him to school
every day and picking him up
afterwards.
“The poor gid just doesn’t have
a chance to have any of the feel
ing of adventure a boy should
have — simply because his mother
doesn’t want to worry about him.”

have the experiences that are nci

for their own safety.
The parent who is a natural
worrier — if he is going to be fair
to his child— just has to make
up his mind that it is eften better
to worry than to deny the c¢hild
an experience he should be hav

of the parent to avoid worry.
The child who is always held
back by a fearrul parent is a pa
thetic’ child. And though he may
avoid some physical hurts — he’ll
get more than his share of emo
tional hurts from being left out
of the things other kids are doing
and from feeling their scorn for
