This is the outlook--and we all can follow it--of Judy Lewis, the daughter of film and TV star Loretta Young, who has opened enough good job doors 4\to develop an acting career of her own. "From the time I was a stu- dent, acting was at the back of my mind," Judy told me when we talked. "But at first, wasn't confident I could be suc- cessful because of the natural habit of comparing myself with the finished product I always saw in my mother. "So, I decided to play it safe and begin my own career with a secretarial course and a job with a writer, since I thought J might like to write." When Judy was ready to work, however, her mother sug- gested that she begin as a sec- retary for the Loretta Young Show. "As I walked through that open door,' Judy said, "I be- gan working with the story editor. On the job, I learned ev- ery aspect of the script and production of TV, including re- search, musical scoring, etc. In s my spare time, I studied acting and joined a little theatre group." After Judy had opened suf- ricient doors to give her a var- ied background in film training and acting experience she de- ljand, it seemed her world fell cided to move to New York to see what she could do on her own. "In New York, I was a stranger," she said. 'I did a bit of everything and kept many irons in the fire. One thing you can say for New York City: It gives newcomers a break--even if it has to send them out of town." One of the chances, Judy found was a radio research as- signment 'in Washington, D.C Later, when she decided (after being chosen by George Abbott, noted producer, playwright and actor, for a play) that. she could succeed in acting she be- gan to concentrate on that, even though the Abbott play closed apart.

They are attractive to the tod- dier and most of them are very dangerous to him. If he has not learned well the meaning of no he may be in constant peril. Of course, they might be kept out of his reach but unless he also learns to stay away from them, never toching them or iampering wi i om, he may get to them when no one is watching (like all other known dangers about the home). The surest way to make the child safe is to train him to avoid such things automatically and permanently. Merely to hold the youngsters away from these perils and to explain to him why he must not touch or tamper with them is not enough. He must get instant pain when he does touch them. If he is allowed to explore them as he chooses he may get pain severe enough to keep him from doing so again, but with the pain he also may lose a finger or hand, even his life. Left to nature's ways, all youngsters may learn to avoid many specific dangers, but this learning may be at tremendous cost. We can improve on na- ture's ways: We can provide the pain necessary to keep him together it might slow him down some but this has not helped us. He gets up at 3 a.m. and 4 a.m, to play with Bobby's toys. Then he gets Bobby up again at 5:30 a.m. and goes "This is not just a home prob- lem, it is wherever he happens to be, outside or visiting or shopping." My reply in part: Having read carefully the foregoing you may easily see why your effort at restraining him has not worked. Since the electrial gad- gets are so dangerous, centre your attention on them, The moment he touches, or even you have got him under control by day. Once you get him under con- trol at home you should have no trouble restraining him away from home. strong all day. ANSWERING QUESTIONS Q. Our son, 2, is well cared for while dad and I both work.|! We read to him every night. I would like to teach him to read. Whan can I do? A. Your time could be spent more profitably perhaps if you didn't aim to teach him to read but kept on reading to him in- stead, and encouraged him in creative fun alone and with other children of his age. Even if you've got a student's lamp from LIGHTING UNLIMITED 7 STORES--TORONTO HAMILTON -- OSHAWA ® reaches toward one of them, seize him, turn him over your knee and smack him soundly. Be sure it hurts. A mere tap or a slap over his clothes-armored thigh may not hurt at all. It may be wise to bare his bottom and make the smack skin-to- skin. Besides he may have tough skin. When he gets out of bed in the middle of the night to play and disturb his older sleeping brother, see that he also gets instant pain without exception. In the morning you should teach him in like manner not to get up until the clock rings or you call him. Once he has learned to re-| spect such pain you can em- from specific known dangers without physical harm to him.
