Ten New Musical Comedies Opening Soon on New York (AP)--Beginning with a new Lillian Hellman play, a revival of "Romeo and Juliet" and a new musical from the pens of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Broad- way is starting its spring season with as much fanfare as it usual- ly reserves for its fall openings. What is exciting this season is that producers seem suddenly to have decided that shows are mar- - ketable for all the 12 months, and are not necessarily closed on May 31, This was when major shows did not dare open on Broadway af- ter Easter. The musicals "and 25 dramatic plays will be unfolded on Broad- way between now and June 1. Two nights from now is due the melodrama by Charlotte Hastings, "The High Ground," formerly known as "Strange Sanctuary." It hag just had a successful run in London. This is a story about a girl in a convent who is accused of murder. On March 4 comes the James M. Barrie fantasy, "Mary Rose," with Bethel Leslie in the leading role and Helen Hayes as producer, Lillian Hellman, long one of Broadway's top playwrights, re- 'turns March 7 with her story of a ~gouthern resort, "The Autumn Gar- den." Fredric March and Florence , Eldridge are the stars. . A revival of "Romeo and Juliet" "which has been on tour will get to 'Boadway March 9 with Olivia de Haviland in the feminine romantic role. From Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, comes a musical version of "The King and I," taken from the Margaret Landon book of "Anna and the King of Slam." Gertrude Lawdence sings the lead- sing role. i The musical comedy version of has on its schedule are also inter- 'a couple of serious plays by Eugene «O'Neill, which the Theatre Guild "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and esting possibilities. Another which sounds exciting is "The Musical Comedy Man," a lyrical show about the late George M. Cohan, 'Welfare Secretary Blames Living Costs For Delinquency Edmonton, Feb. 21--(CP) -- The high cost of living and housing problems are described as the two main contributing factors to juven- fle delinquency in Canada by Miss {K. Phyllis Burns of Ottawa, secre- tary of the Child Welfare Division of the Canadian Welfare Council. In an Edmonton interview, she said much of the marital friction In Canada can be blamed on these wo factors and the resulting de- sertions and separations lead to Juvenile delinquency. In most cases, Juvenile delinquency occurred when the boys and girls started high school and their home life was not of such g standard that they were kept occupied. "We must strengthen family life," she said. "There must be unity in the home."

'Close Budgetting, Sharing Alike Makes Happy Home for Family By ANGELO NATALE Cliffwood Beach, NJ. -- (AP)-- Take the patter of a child's feet around the house -- then multiply it 13 times. « It can be noisy, but to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carey it's been a pleas- ~ ant sound. The Careys recently welccaied their 18th child in 18 years of married. life, Carey, the father of the brood, admits it gets. a bit difficult at times managing on his $60 a week salary. "But we get along," he says, and sometimes even have some * 'money to spare for little luxuries. The Careys live in a six-room Jhouse located on the edge of a marsh. The family gets the house rent-free from a property owner in exchange for Papa Carey's service as a caretaker and custodian. You might think the house is a little crowded; but the Careys don't think so. Four of the little Carey's temporarily are living with rela tives. The eldest daughter, Pa- tricia, is married and lives with her husband. ._ That leaves only 15 Careys in the house, including Papa and Mama, 'and they manage just fine with their six rooms. . 'There are three bedrooms. The kids sleep dormitory-style. "We have bunk beds for the chil- dren," Mama Carey gays, "the girls have one big bedroom, the boys the "other." ¢ LB Close Budgeting ~ Budgeting is not too difficult for 3 Careys, they say, Out of the $60 Carey brings home every week from his job as a boiler engineer for Keyport, NJ. Cork Company, about $50 goes for food. The remainder goes for miscellane- ous items, such ag laundry and their old, but reliable car. They even managed to save enough to buy a new gas range and three new, shiny bicycles for the kids. " Clothing doesn't present too great a problem, either, says Mrs. Carey. "Clothes are passed down from one child to another," she explains. The money allotted to food goes for 30 pounds of meat, 21 quarts of milk and "plenty of soup." "We probably eat better than most families," Carey claims. "Everyone starts the day off witn a good breakfast -- and they get anything they want." Most others become alarmed over childhood diseases, but not Mrs. Carey. When it comes to measles, mumps and chickenpox, she has her own philosophy. "When one gets something like that," she says, "I let all the others get it. Then we get it all over with at the same time." The Carey children are: Patricia, 17; James, 16; Joseph, 15; Jackie, 14; Crawford, 13; William, 12; Mar- garet, 11; Raymond, 10; Geraldine, 9; Dorothy Ann, 8; Doris Joan, 7; Frances Elaine, 6; Emily Marie, 5; Dale, 4; Barbara, 3; John Francis, 2; Laurenda, 1, and Bruce Wayne, two weeks.

Alpine Setting For Spring Book Ottawa--(CP)--A tip for budding novelists: "write something every day, so your mental muscles don't get a chance to get atrophied." So says Toronto-born Lois Ed- wards whose novel, "My Heart in Hiding," is due for publication in April by Willlam Morrow and Company. Mrs. Edwards, hazel-eyed and five-foot six, is the wife of Group Capt. Douglas Edwards,of Ottawa. Setting for her book is the fabulous winter playground of Europe, St. Moritz in the Swiss Alps, where the couple spent a holiday shortly after the Second World War when Group Capt. Edwards was Air Attache at the Canadian Embassy in Paris. Here the idea first came to Mrs. Edwards for her novel--The story of a titled Englishwoman, dis- figured in an air raid, and of her struggle to face the world again. Along her literary way which has followed her husband's career to postings in Canada and abroad, Mrs. Edwards has found time to do book reviews and articles sev- eral of which have been published in the New York Tribune. She also has written short stor- ies and articles for Canadian maga- zines. If pressed to give advice to be- ginners she'll repeat Hemingway's injunction that "You've got to get down some bulk--you can't perfect your writing until you have some- thing to correct." william Morrow and Co. have an option on. Mrs. Edwards' next two books, first of which, with a Toronto" setting, she expects to have in manuscript form by spring.

Community If Parents Do Not Thwart Efforts If your child is left-handed, don't worry about it. Although there are various theore fes about what causes left-handed- ness, the experts are virtually una- nimous that if the parent makes a sensible adjustment the child will, too In most things Jett-handédnes I actually no handicap -- the 1d simply does with his left hand what others do with their right. A few common operations, however, cannot be easily reversed in this way. Sometimes special tools are needed, and someti a little spec- ial help will get him over the dif- ficulties. Writing is probably the most difficult thing for a left-handed child to adjust to. Learning to write is hard enough for any child, but when he has to learn in a dif- ferent way from anyone else, it's no wonder he has trouble. First of all; he must reverse the usual push- pull action in forming letters, and tilt the paper to the left instead of to the right. In addition, he usual- ly has to hold his pen or pencil at an awkward angle in order to see what he is writing. According to Miss Jerlyn Madison, handwriting consultant, parents of left-handers should consult with the school to make sure their child is getting special help, and then see that he has good writing equip ment no other member of the fam- ily is allowed to use. A child can use a ballpoint pen by his sixth year, and even earlier if he is supervised. The pride en=- gendered by owning such a growne up instrument will do much to stimulate his interest in learning to write. As he grows older he should be given a good fountain pen, Miss Madison advises, ¥f pos- sible one designed for left-handers. Ordinary fountain pens, unless they have a broad, flattened point, are difficult for the left-handed per- son to use, because unless he writes "backhanded" the pen will be "pushing" or stabbing angle to the paper as it moves from left to right, instead of pulling or draw- ing angle, as in the case of a right-hander. In spite of his special difficulties, however, a left-handed child should never bé made to feel peculiar or inferior because of his tendency, Miss Madison cautions. As a matter of fact the left- handed child is in a very select group, which includes Babe Ruth, Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo, and one of the Dionne quintuplets, He may even grow up to be Presi- dent--President Garfield was left handed and President Truman is partially so. Back to Leaves Go Modern Eves History repeats itself, and women are wearing leaves again. The Bikinl bathing suit hasn't revived Garden of Eden styles (Not quite anyhow). This time, leaves are being worn as items of adornment rather than of appeal. They provide realistic back= ground for the popular bug scatter pins. Nadja Buckley, Fifth Avenue de- signer, introduced the idea of wear- ing pairs of diamond and palladium ladybugs, "in their natural habitat" of real leaves. "Personally," Miss Buckley says, "I prefer thick philodendron leaves because the name has a romantie connotation. In Greek philo means loving and dendron means tree, The leaf, then, comes from the 'loving tree', and symbolizes the affection prompting the gift of such precious jewelry." Newest scatter pins have attache ments for fastening them to clothes through leaves. Quite at home in this setting are bugs with fine enamelled bodies, light gold feet, and wings and eyes of twinke ling colored stones set in palladium, Classified ads are sure to pay = Phone 35 with yours today "Scrubbing my hands constantly, in order to keep them 'hospital clean', could easily make them look _ red and ugly," says' Jean Crow, Registered Nurse.
