CHILD GUIDANCE Psychologist Discusses Problem Of the Student who Daydreams In this column I have occasion- _ ally said that we really can't hope to cause a child to pay attention and concentrate simply by telling him to do so. We can much less hope to get a child to be attentive at school by commanding him at home to concentrate at school. A few teachers have written me to say that such statements are untrue, to which criticism I have replied about as follows: . I concede that a teacher may effectively command a child to be quiet if is interrupting her by talking to another child. If he is moving about or creating disturb- ances in, some other way while he is supposed to attend to the mat- ter at hand, I concede that she should command him to sit still or assume a physical position fav- orable to his paying attention to school work. ATTENTION UNCERTAIN But no matter how perfectly he shows the outward appearance of attending, we can't be sure of what is going on in his head or-how he feels. No matter how he appears, we can't be sure he is concentrat- ing on his lesson or on what his teacner or his classmates are say- here is the anecdote which a famous psychologist of years ago, once told about the boy who was compli ted by his teacher for good attention to a speaker in his class, "Yes," said the boy, "I couldn't keep my eyes from his funny chin that kept moving up and down as he spoke." In this way, grown-ups also may attend to a speaker in a group or a i guest talking in our homes---atténd- ll ing bot not to what the speaker was saying. WHAT'S INSIDE? By G. CLEVELAND MYERS what was going on in each young- ster's head during a class period! Most interesting would be the many daydreaming youths in high school or college. Attention, (which means prolonged and deep attention) to a matter, is not only a matter of outward manifestation. It's a matter of what goes on in- side the head and heart, of what the person is thinking and feeling. We certainly can't be sure to get it by a commanding word. When we order a child to pay attention, all we do 'is order him to be in a physical position to attend. Some- times this does help, momentarily at least. Certainly it's sensible to, require each child in the classroorh to con- form reasonably to certain regula- tion and the attention of others in the class. But it doesn' seem very sensible to say, "Pay attention," when a child is being a nuisance to others in the classroom These are the wrong words. ATTENTION AND SUCCESS Getting the child in a physical attitude for paying attention, we still have the problem of finding how to cause him to attend from within. He does his best when he is succeeding at doing mentally what he is supposed to be doing. By talking privately with a stu- dent who seems to be often day- dreaming in the classroom, we might be able to prevail on him to use effort at calling himself back when he discovers he is woolgath- ering.

And there is no ordeal more constricting to feminine personality than to feel spurned by one's hest beloved. But throwing yourself at Harry's feet, and licking his boots with undes- erved prajse, isn't helping your cause a bit.

Dior's Princess Line Clings to the Figure Like Second Skin By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) -- This year's most attractive winter styles hit right where it hurts most--in the midriff. Christian Dior's 'princess line," a moulded look that ruthlessly Shotlighis that extra curve around e hips has its counterpart in almost every couture collection in London Rome and Paris. It's as figure revealing as @& one- piece bathing suit--but predictions are it will be the smash hit of the season. The selling point is that undulating look of seemingly un- controlled figure appeal most wo- men yearn for. EMPHASIS ON WAIST Unbelted it moulds the form from under a well-defined bust to thigh 'level and it gives sharp em- phasis to the waist. It is, in fact, a dream line for the tall, the slim, or the well-proportioned. For those with the slightest bulge it means a special foundation or diet. The swathed and pleated Dior bustline calls for a deep up-cut bra as well as the midriff waist and diaphragm control required for that faultless curve from bust to thigh. Dior rightly calls it his "living line," Only a soft smooth founda- tion on a fairly slim figure will give the right effect. Too firm corseting would show up merci- lessly because as most curva- ceous women find out early--rigid control in one spot means an extra bulge somewhere else. princess waist is the most emphatic inward cut Dior has shown since his post-war New Look and it won't take the waist corset designed for the New Look.

Tweed Ball Gown Frosted Brilliants Set Mayfair Agog By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) -- Rough, tough and elegant--that's the tweed pic- ture for smart women this winter. The knobble weaves and huntin tweeds great-grandmama reserve for country week-ends and coach travel have been given the glamor treatment. They've moved from the manor house and shooting lodge to the drawing rooms of Mayfair and the night clubs of Paris. In fact, the dress that will catch the attention at the balls this win- ter is the evening gown of knobble tweed frosted with brilliants, its cosy folds hugging the figure sleekly. FOR COATS, SUITS Tweeds for evening wear are, however, still sufficiently novel to come into the high price brackets. It's the coats and suits shown in the recent collections of London's "Big Ten" of haute couture 'that will influence the winter trends for not-so-wealthy women. Advance styles, now showing in fashionable stores, indicate that coats similar to the black-and- white steps-and-stairs check de- signed by Hardy Amies will be sell- ing for eight guineas' and up. Amies, who designed clothes for the Queen's Canadian tour and is making part of her wardrobe for the coming Australian trip, favors the heavy-shoulder look, whittling down to a narrow hem. An arresting plum-and-blue check is chosen by Michael for a severely-tailored suit in an up-to- date version of the Chinese T'ang dynasty line. In previous collec- tions this designer frequently anti- cipated Paris innovations. i This suit has, in fact, so many of the latest Paris fashion points it is likely to stay in the couture class. Its figure-motilding curves are reminiscent of Christian Dior's "princess line" and the high and wide neckline, long shoulders and three-quarter sleeves with deep fur cuff can all be seen in the Paris collections. BARREL-SHAPE COATS John Cavanagh, who recently added the Duchess of Kent to his customers, uses fleck and knobble tweeds in fitted suits and barrel- shaped overcoats that will be pop- ular in many shops this winter. Cavanagh's suits have tailored simplicity, allied to chic. "Top storey," a barrel coat by Cavanagh in blatk-and-reed tweed, has buttoned tabs low on the shoul- ders giving that heavier-on-top line favored by many designers. This epaulette idea i$ seen, in a fleck tweed suit with deep-stitched "V" cutting horizontally across the rounded shoulder, suggesting a sec- ond rever buttoned as low as the armpit, The severity of whittled skirts in most of the Cavanagh suits fo- cuses attention on the jackets. It' in the cut of the peplum, a touc] at the shoulders, revers or waist, that Cavanagh indicates the fa- vored lines of the winter styles. COLLEGE CHEERS PRINTED woolens give an in- lafesting new twist to inf al outfits for wear on the campus or in the study. They are also great favgrites for young home- bodies rates they live in city apartments or country houses. Bright pink, poppy printed wool, for example, is used for these long, tapered slacks. They are buttoned in front like sailor trousers and topped with a cling- ing, long-sleeved, high-necked jersey blouse. By TRACY ADRIAN HOLLYWOOD HIGHLIGHTS Bob Cummings Offers Suggestion To Movie Folk Angling for TV By JAMES BACON HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- Robert Cummings offers this tip to fellow players who want to embark on filmed television series: Get a piece of the property. Cummings cites a potent ex- ample: "The other night I dined at a Beverly Hills restaurant. I did a double take when the attendant came up to-park my car. It was 'Amos' of the 'Amos n' Andy' TV series. "I asked him how come. He told me that his show is being syndi- cated this year. That means that while he parks autos for cafe pa- trons in Beverly Hills, people all over the country will think him a successfull television star." Syndication is a much-used word That means that old television movies now, will replace old Holly- wood movies on many stations. Cummings said Amos told him that he was unable to get any other TV work in town while the series is being shown around the country. He's just too well identi- fied with the role. The "My Herp" series which Cummings made last year also will be re-shown this year via gyodieation but he is more fortun- ate than 0s who was paid onl while making his shows. ay owns 40 per cent of the "My Hero" series. "To give you an idea of how Jueh loot is involved in syndica- ion," Cummings says, "I was of- fered $50,000 for Se Share of 'My Hero." While I debated the price, the offer jumped until it hit $250,- in Hollywood TV circles these days. | 000 With new stations opening every day, producers syndicate films that have already made the network rounds. - For instance, the "Amos n' Andy" show has 65 films com- pleted 13 of which have never been shown. Individual sponsors in in- dividual towns will re-show them. No. more new ones are planned. "My business - manager (Mrs. Cummings) advised me that if it was worth that much to the buy- ers, it was worth more to me. So I held on." _ He now believes his characteriza- tion of Robert Q, Beanblossom, a wacky real estate salesman, could make him a nice fortune to leave to his children. Housewives Face Annual Problem Of Hunter's "Bag" By JOAN BARBERIS Canadian Press Staff Writer Now the duck-hunting season ap- proaches again many wives face the annual problem of what to do with the proud hunter's bag. Many women seem to feel that shooting ducks must be more fun than cooking them. Wives of duck hunters fall into two groups--those who will clean the birds inside and out, and those who won't. The woman who dosn't balk at a duck with head and feathers in- fact, doesn't need any advice. For those who do object, one suggestion is that they reach a firm under- standing with the hunter of the family that the hunt isn't over un- til the bird is thoroughly cleaned. ROAST DUCK TASTY Anyway, here's a suggested rec- ip for roast Cuck with savoury cherry stuffing, from the Poultry Products Institute of Canada. Make sure the body cavity is clean, remove any pin feathers and singe to remove down. Wash duck throuoghly, allowing a stream of cold water to run t-rough it. Dry and rub inside of cavity with salt. Fill with cherry stuffing (see recipe below), sew or skewer to close openings. : Roast uncovered in an open pan ig a moderately slow oven, 325 egrees F., allowing 30 minutes a pound. Baste occasionally with a spoonful of the syrup Yrom ihe cherries. Duck is cooked when the meat is tender and no red tinge shows in the juice when the meat 'is pricked with a skewer or fork. If meat. thermometer is used, place it in the thickest muscle being sure it does not rcst on bone. Thermometer should read 190 de- grees F. when duck is cooked. Galen, Roman physician, made the statement, "Employment is na- ture's best remedy", in 172 AD.

DIFFICULT JOB Even with strict dieting it's diffi- cult or impossible for most women to achieve the perfect Dior figure. Judged by the measurements of his favorite mannequin Renee it is: height, five feet seven inches; bust 33, waist 18%, hips 34. Asked what he thought of the Paris princess line London's latest rqval designer John Cavanagh-- who featured his own £igure re- vealing styles--said : "It gives length and is flattering." But he added this warning: "If the line is broken by a swathed bodice then it is only for the high firm bust and flat diaphragm fig- are" This youthful figure is certainly needed for Cavanagh's Gitana skirt dress in flamenco pink satin em- broidered with jet rhinestones and tassels. From the cameo neckline to the skirt flare low on the diaphragm it silhouettes the figure like a lighted backcloth. Most of London's "Big Ten' fea- ture something of the same line in dress in cyclamen bronze and black that follows the unbeltedlook and low-flare skirt. He features it however with a draped bust and deep fold to the front skirt that diverts the eye from the midriff severity. The population of the United States increased by 2,500,000 in 1950.

Wash the Floor the Easy Way By Using a Cellulose Sponge Many women who are accustom- ed to automatic washers and iron- ers, electric mixers and pressure hands knees with an old- fashioned brush and pail to scrub the floor. A few are able to turn this chore over to a weekly cleaning woman. The rest just don old clothing and a pair of rubber gloves and double as their own charwoman. . Out of chemistry's continous research program for removing the drudgery from housework has come the cellulose sponge, now a fimiliar kitchen and bathroom ac- cessory. When equipped by manufactur- ers with a long handle and & small hand-operating wringer this same cellulose sponge will keep the housewife's knees off hard floors and her hands out of grimy water. Scrubbing a floor this way be- comes about as easy as sweeping it with a broom. Hands never touch the mop end or the water and the whole operation is per- formed from an erect position. The mop is simply dipped into a pail containing a mild cleaning solution and rubbed over the floor. To lap up the loosened dirt and water, the mop end is first rinsed and .then wrung out with a flip of the automatic squeezer. Since cellulose sponges soak up 20 times their weight in water, wringing is reduced to a minimum. These sponge mops are becom- ing as versatile as the popillar cellulose 'hand sponge. When moist- ened with clear water and squeezed until all the water has been expel. led, they make excellent rug clean ers and floor dusters. The sponge has such an attraction for dust, dirt and lint that the mop should be rinsed clean periodically under the kitchen tap. Their long handles make them convenient for washing walls, windows, ceilings and other awkward areas. The automatic squeezer makes it easy for the housewife to control their moisture content. Sponge mops are also handy liquid wax appliers. With usage they become saturated with the liquid and result in a saving of wax which is often wasted when other appliers are tossed out.
