they were small they may be more len ient with a little girls uneasi ness 11 t all the same they are proud of their children when they are confident and sure of themselves mothers are more apt to be sympathetic often all a child needs is a mothers reassur ing arms to put courage back into him perhaps just a word of comfort will make the sun seem to shine on a gloomy day parents are able to be

loud sharp noises he is scar ed if he seems to be falling likely because this makes him leel insecure a little child is often nerv ous in unfamiliar surround ings or with a stranger if he has no pet

or even public school scho lars a cross watch dog at a certain home may be avoid ed by walking along with mo ther on the other side of the street at the same time par ents should explain to boys and girls that there are many movies suitable for juveniles and that most dogs are fond of children and enjoy their com pany it is always a help to be able i to confess ones anxieties to a friendly person especially at bedtime a childs fears may be mentioned the majority of youngsters especially boys who engage in rough play se cretly isav danger situations in which they may receive bo dily injured they may also be very much afraid of being cal led a sissy when they are dared to do something they realize is unsafe in our modern world so many children are injured playing onnhe road or cros- iing it carelessly that this is one area of life where even small youngsters should real ize what may befall them if they are careless instead of unduly frightening him a tiny child must learn that he must play in his own yard when he crosses the road he is accompanied by a grown up he learns sensible caution not fear from his parent a school age child must practice safety procedures such as crossing at right angles at an intersection and obeying traf fic signals youngsters should know the traffic rules they can look on the policeman who is a traffic officer as a friend the dentist and the doctor should also be spoken of as friends a visit to have a tooth filled or extracted is not nearly so terrifying to a youngster if mother has pic tured the dentist as a person who wants to help people physicians often prefer to see their small patients alone be cause the parents apprehen sion is most contagious the child should be told that the doctor is a kindly person al though his treatment may hurt it wont hurt for long this helps a child to overcome his panic when entering a doctors office letting a child know what to expect banishes the dread of the unknown to some extent report from parliament by michael starr mv ontario killing the post office bill has continued to be the main item of debate charges of patron age in the post office depart ment have been hurled by the opposition

the shooting by two farmers who chased the animal for three hours during a blizzard after it was flushed from hiberna tion by a farm dog mr ellis said there is so much unnecessary killing these days by socalled sportsmen that we are very concerned about it he said that shooting of bears was legal but this bear was doing no harm and there had been no complaints of bears of which there are only a- bout six bears in the area causing trouble in the district if they ever prove a menace the de partment of wildlife will do something about it he added tawa to a group of distribut ors a condition attached to the sale was that it was to be marketed outside of canada it is said that the selling price was somewhat higher than 17 cents per pound received for the 22 million pounds which went to west germany some time ago the reason for the conditional sale is that the government does not want this cheap pork to compete in the domestic market with nonfederal pork which is now being sold for about 35 cents per pound as of now agriculture de partment economists still re main hopeful that 1951 will be a good year despite rumb lings of unemployment they anticipate no serious interrup tion of economic activity in stead they say an expected increase in consumers in come and in food consump tion may well mean the stile of a larger volume of farm products in canada outlook for the canadian farmer says the department remains fav ourable cash receipts from sale of farm products may ev en exceed 1953 total this as sumes of course that farmers will be able to deliver during the first seven months of the year a substantial propor tion of the yearend carryov er of grain cattle marketings are likely to be higher at pric es say the economists com parable to those of 1953 but lower hog prices may eat up the advantage of increased markings there assuming av erage crop yields at unchang ed acreages department ec onomists predict net returns from farm operations only slightty lower
