Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and
in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they
may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them
your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and
when thou risest up.—Deaut. Chapter XL, Vs. 18-19.
The English people relax on week-ends and many of the city
dwellers go to the country. Instead of using cars as in this
country they go on bicycles . . . Tandem wheels which are not
used here are owned and used by many . . . Some are equipped
with seats to carry children .. . Even the past week-end with war
threatening, the English people again went to the country for
the week-end.
In Holland, an aged man, the former German Kaiser prob
ably sits and listens to a radio ... He too, was ambitious and
thought that the military supremacy of his country would eventu
ally make him a greater conquerer than Alexander the Great . . .
He was prepared ... in his own opinion, for any situation which
might develop. Might was right, was his belief . . . Now he is an
exile, probably not daring to express an opinion . . . His sons were
to share with him the honors ... He particularly hated the Eng
lish although the English King was his cousin ... In his own
mind, one of his sons would occupy the throne of that country . . .
His man-made plans fell through . . . Now, a man of low origin
and unknown ancestors is attempting the same thing that the
former Kaiser tried—to make Germany the greatest world power
. . . And the world waits with fear as he gradually gobbles up
territory.
Liberty magazine has a correspondent in China, Mr. Crow
by name. He has lived there 30 years and is now there looking
over the situation ... He entered by China’s back door . . . And
China’s back door is through Burma . . . Here has been built a
2,000 mile road called by the writer, China’s Heart-break Trail . . .
Built by man power ... No tools except hoes and chisels ... No
dynamite—only Chinese gun powderwhich moves pounds instead
of tons —through mountainous regions, and uninhabited territory
. . . Thousands always at work to keep the road in condition as
the American trucks carry supplies to the Chinese army . . .
Here in this region, so the writer says, the 10th Century is meet
ing with the 20th . . . This road may be the deciding factor in this
war . . . The writer would not tell the number of trucks engaged
in the business of carrying these supplies as he did not want to
give aid to Japan . . . Such is war . . . We have heard since the be
ginning how this country has aided Japan by the quantity of scrap
iron which leaves here for Japan . . . Now we learn that American
trucks are taking supplies to China byway of a back door.

"Zestful” is the word for appeti
sers— and every year, more and
more women are learning the
value of serving a small plate of
these tasty little tidbits before
dinners. In fact, so attractive are
the modern containers that the
present trend is to serve these
"zest givers" right in the glass
packages in which they are bought.
Light, sharp and tangy, they put
a keen edge on flagging appetites,
and add zest to the whole meal.
Pickles, olives, anchovies, caviar
— all of these make excellent
appetizers. It is not necessary to
buy them in large quantities. A
•mall bottle of each kind is better,
and an attractive array of colorful
appetizers, gleaming in their glass
jars, will add zest to the table, as
well as to the taste. Then a
moment’s glance at the array of
attractive glass containers advises
ithe hostess as to exactly what
‘"appetite-ticklers" she has on hand.
Get the appetizer habit! You’ll
■find it adds Zest to your meals!

Home And Family Life
BY MOTHER
It would be interesting to know just
how many youngsters there are in
Baker county between the ages of one
and five years. It is also interesting
to know that although we have no
formal school for this group they will
no doubt learn as much or more than
their sisters and brothers in school or
college, and their learnings will be
something they will use long after
some of the “book learning” is for
gotten.
I am thinking of the skills, and hab
its and attitudes of the young child as
learned from his home and family and
friends, sometimes called his environ
ment. '
He comes into the world a rather
helpless little creature, incapable of
taking care of himself. By the time
he is a year or so old he should know
how to eat, sleep, rest, amuse himself,
go to toilet, and meet his family and
friends graciously—in other words,
he is a member of the society in which
he lives.
Frm one year to five he has to learn
proficiency in doing these things and
in addition he has to learn to walk,
run, jump and climb, using the large
muscles and bones of his body to carry
on many activities. He has to learn a
language through which to convey his
thoughts and desires to others. It is
said that a child of five knows all the
words necessary for communication
for the rest of his life—(an enlarged
vcabulary is however desirable for his
understanding and appreciation of a
larger life than the five year old.)
He has, by the age of five, a pretty
clear idea of right and wrong —a
sense of values which may shape his
entire life.
Yu can see from this how very im
portant the home life of a child is—
it is his “school”—and it is here his
education is begun.
Does your home provide the todd
ler with the proper tools of learn
ing? If, for instance, we want the
child to learn to feed himself do we
provide the means for teaching him?
A low table and chair to fit, with his
own small dishes, in a pleasant corn
er, undisturbed by the family, help to
give him the right habits of eating.
Or, if you wish to help him to de
velop strong active muscles do you

The Camera in the Kitchen

DO YOU ever carry your camera
into the kitchen? Next time you
want to take pictures indoors, and
run out of subjects, try exploring
the realm of stove, Icebox and pan
try. It's a happy hunting-ground.
Almost everything in a kitchen is
a camera subject. The icebox and
the china and aluminumware are a
mine of still-life possibilities, and
there are opportunities galore for
"off-guard” pictures whenever a
meal is being prepared.
The mixing of a cake can be a
picture, if the big mixing bowl is
snapped from a high angle with two
hands busy with a spoen in the
creamy batter. Mother breathlessly
testing the cake with a broomstraw
is an opportunity for a “candid”
shot. There are pictures, general or
close-up, when the cake is being
iced. There is a splendid close-up in
the cutting of the first slice, with
the gleaming long-bladed knife go
ing through the fluffy loaf.
A pile of shining pots and pans I
may make a splendid picture, if the |
photographer chooses a proper angle
and works out a "dramatic" lighting.
China, wet and glistening in a drain
rack, is material for pictures. Even
the dishpan, foamy with suds as two
hands squeeze out the dishrag above
it, is a picture opportunity.
The icebox yields eggs and vege
tables that can be worked into inter
esting "still-life” studies. A series of
“busy hands” pictures’is well worth
trying—hands peeling a potato, with
a long curl of peel hanging; hands
polishing silverware or drying glass
ware; hands turning a brown pan
cake on a griddle or lifting a waffle
out of the ff-on —hands doing a thou
sand and one things!
Picture-making in most kitchens
is simple, because the room is usual-
give him places to climb, run, jump,
ride? There are long lists of activity
toys suggested by our child psychol
ogists and provided at some of the
nursery schools, but the average
home does not need to purchase ex
pensive equipment. Use that which
most of our homes already have. The
point is to recognize the need and al
low the child freedom to use them.
Nearly all of our homes have some
where, some steps for the youngster
to begin his climbing lessons. Four
or five steps are enough and the dan
ger of falling is not so great, so if
the stairs are higher than this, place
some article in the way and the child
soon learns^to climb without danger
of hurting himself. When he has
mastered a few steps, he may be al
lowed the freedom of longer flight
I have seen the two-year-old amuse
himself for hours at step climbing.
Other muscle and balancing devices
are slides, incline planes, swings; low
sturdy stools and tables. Providing
places for the child to use the in
stinct to climb, saves the good furn
iture, too.
Not only is it good to provide ex
ercise for the longer muscles but the
smaller muscles need training too.
The delicate senses nature has pro
vided for our pleasure and protec
tion, taste smell, touch, hearing, see
ing—the sixth sense — judgement
which helps to use the others to good
advantage. (This is my own idea,
calling judgement a sixth sense—it
is not authentic psychology.)
How may we provide training for
these finer senses at home? First, be
sure that your child can see and
hear. Many children with impaired
seeing and hearing are so clever at
adjusting this handicap that it is of
ten overlooked until the child enters
formal school and is thrown into
competition with others his own age.
Parents’ Magazine is publishing a
series of helpful articles, in which
certain skills are listed for children
at different age levels. You may like
to check your child by this list, just
to see if he is measuring up to his
mental and emotional developments
as well as his physical.
Here are some of the things the
home may provide easily for the

ly small and walls and ceiling are
generally light in color. The camera
should be loaded with supersensi
tive film, and three large amateur
flood bulbs used in cardboard fe
flectors. The proper distance from
bulbs to subject is four to six feet.
With this amount of light, one can
take snapshots with a box camerd at
its largest lens opening, or use 1/25
second at f.B or f.ll lens opening
with cameras so marked. For close
up pictures, a simple portrait at
tachment must be used with most
cameras.

child, to develop his skill in the use
of his senses. Remember that not on
ly must provision be made in expos
ing the child to many situations but
he needs a kind of sympathetic in
terpreter. He can answer several
hundred questions a day—the same
ones over and over maybe, until ad
ult patience is threadbare — but re
member there is much to learn in
this complicated home life, which to
you seems so simple and dull and
monotonous, J>ut to the young child
is new and thrilling and interesting.
Maybe if you take the time to an
swer and direct this young learner
you will recapture some of the thrill
yourself.
Here’s a lis of things—just the or
dinary things found in any home.
To develop taste — food of good
flavor and texture. It amazed me to
find that food habits of the two-year
-olds at nursery schools were already
well formed. Even a two-year-old has
learned to say “I don’t like so and
so,” or “Daddy doesn’t eat eggs, so
I won’t eat eggs either.” Your ex
ample speaks louder than words, be
very careful what habits you teach
your child.
Go easy on adding new flavors to
the child’s list of foods. Give very
small portions of new foods. Eating
should be a pleasant thing to do. Pro
vide good surrounding free from fuss
and fury.
To develop smell—smell and taste
are closely associated. Unpleasant
odors protect the child from dangers
and should be used so.
To develp touch— provide all sorts
