Eighteen years ago I was elling by train from Oregon to the Midwest. I had a 3-year- old boy and an infant to care trav for, and I had my hands full. Four sailors noticed my plight. They took over the 3-year-old completely. One sailor had a harmonica and the youngster They treated the child to dinrfer arid lunch. One of the sailors held the baby for me--said he had was intrigued by it. an infant the same age at home and it was a treat for him. My son is 21 years old now, but he remembers that trip to this day. He even recalls that when he spilled some potato chips, the sailors would not let him eat them off the floor. about. And have you noticed that the wife who complains about her husband's inade- quacies and faults mrely blames herself when he loses interest? May I suggest that the same feminine wiles that attracted her beloved during courtship never lose their appeal? A male rarely seduces a female--it's usually the other way around.

MYERS, PhD Ever so many parents write to me of the child, typically in the primary grades, whose teacher says he daydreams in the classroom. Many of these parents seem to suppose that, by talking to the child at home, by explaining why he should be attentive, or by rebuking him for his inattention at school, they can cause him to concen- trate better at school. They seem to be discouraged that their talking with him at home rarely brings desired results. Having been rebuked at school and at home so often for his day-dreaming, this child rarely feels the urge to try to improve his ways. However, he may improve them when he en- joys more success at reading, spelling, number work and the like. Anything parents can do in this direction has promise.

Indeed, it's possible for some pupils and students to learn and remember so much of what they see and hear in class that they don't need to spend much time at studying outside of class. As you must know, the harder you work in the class period the easier your home- work will be. When you keep alert in class you discover what the most im- portant things are that you try hard to remember. Some of them you will choose to review and practice on when you do your homework. Before long you may choose to jot down a few notes during the class pe- riod. When assignments are made in class, you will write down enough to help you re- member what to do as you study this assignment outside of class, as you do your home- work.

Inimitable Kate Aitken, better known as radio's Mrs. A., knows what she is talking about. She (broke a cross ~ Canada link in' June, 1957, when she re- tired without explanation to her regular radio listeners. Asked why, she told a re- porter at that time: "Just say I'm unpredictable, that I never did have any business sense, that I'm probably making a mistake." She dropped a career which spanned 25 years and took her 2,000,000 miles through 54 coun- tries. Mrs. Aitken is still keenly interested in the business of newsgathering and future op- portunities for women broad- casters throughout the world. She says women broadcasters in Canada have as keen a sense of news value as men, if not a keener one. STILL ENJOYS LIFE "They have a more intuitive sense of values which helps in the evaluation of news and how it affects not one individual but the whole family of humanity. "But the basic issue is that no woman fits in with the back- room boys--she's out of place, out of context and they have no sympathy with her. "You can beat it in two ways: by an intelligent ap- proach, or by being as rowdy as the boys, and that's out."
