A Christmas Puppy Can Be Great Fun If Wisely Handled Pitfalls to be avoided in adding a puppy to the family circle this Christmas are listed in the current issue of "Your Dog" magazine. The magazine's editors estimate that 500,000 homes will acquire a puppy this Yuletide, including, of course, a substantial number right in this area. There is a dog for every pur- pose, one to suit the age and tem- perament of any owner, and with a little careful planning each can be sure of getting exactly what is needed or wanted, they say. 1. If undecided as to breed, a visit to a dog show, where a var- jety of breeds are on exhibit, should prove helpful. If no dog show is being held locally, visit as many local kennels of different breeds as possibe until you have made up your mind, 2. Don't get a puppy too young --say under ten or twelve weeks. The younger the puppy the more care it requires. 3. If you are not sure the puppy is hehlthy, insist on a veterinary statement before purchase. A sick puppy is no bargain at any price. ~4. If you want to be sure the pup is purebred, request a registra- tion certificate, which should also show a transfer to you as the new owner. 5. Before taking the pup home, be sure to select a spot in the house he will be able to call his own. Place his bed there--an or- dinary box filled with paper will do--and put near it a toy or rub- ber ball or bone.to help his cut his teeth on and divert his atten- tion from mischievous deeds. 6. Don't stuff him and handle him unnecessarily when you. get him home, else you may end up with a sick or dead pup. If you are really wise, you will arrange to have him delivered either a few days before or a few days aftr the Christmas day excitement. Half-Size Fashion THIS IS YOUR .

He is Lt.-Gen. Robert Eichel- berger, veteran of both world wars and commander of the Eighth Army in the Pacific during the Second World War. The general is in Hollywood to act as technical advisor on "Francis Goes to West Point." On the movie set, he seemed to be enjoying his duties and was full of admiration for the talented mule. "This is kind of a lark," he smiled, "but the Pentagon wanted to be sure West Point would be portrayed with dignity." Gen. Eichelberger is well quali- fied for the post, having been a commardant of West Point. WELL I SWEAR The party's getting rough. If you listen closely in "Death of a Salesman," you'll hear Keven Mc- Carthy utter a '"'dammit." This is the first time the epithet has been heard on the screen since "Gone with the Wind." The town is talking about Me- Carthy's performance in the film. Little is known about him. He played the role in London. He is a pal of Marlon Brando and Mont- gomery Clift, and like them, re- sisted Hollywood offers until he could write his own ticket. He con- vincingly plays an 18 - year - old in "Salesman," but McCarthy is actually 37 and the father of three children. Easiest Ever! ONE STRAIGHT PIECE for jacket, ditto for cap.

I have made an awful mess of my life and am trying to re- air the damage. was married at 15 and lived in a turmoil for years, with hus- band drunk most of the time. We separated several times, and the last time I-started going with some- one else, and when I found I was expecting a baby I went to another town, and lived on money I had saved. The father - to - be urged me to get a divorce and marry him, put I refused, as I had been raised by such a strict mother -- who thought it a sin to divorce for any reason. I was glad she wesn't liv- ing when I went astray. I didn't think marriage to the man with whom I'd transgressed would solve anything, -- just an- other unhappy marriage. SO I had my baby in my first married name. But as soon as the baby was born I did get a divorce and married father -- and we have done fine together. My second husband has been swell to me and crazy about our child; and I couldn't ask for a better helpmate. I didn't think it' could happen after what I had done; I though he wouldn't have any respect for me. The big problem that haunts me is that we haven't had our son's name changed, and I know he must show a birth certificate when he starts school next year. My hus- band makes just an gverage fac- tory wage, and we lack funds to spend on the matter, even if I knew what to do. This seems the only thing Joe and I can't talk about; we feel so badly about what we've done to our child. If there is no plase don't say anything scornful, as I have suffered heart- ache for years; and still have years of hating myself ahead as he gets older. Vv. UNDULY HARD ON HERSELF Dear V.V.: The severity of your self - condemnation, and the suf- fering intensity of your sense of guilt about the circumstances of your son's birth indicate that you measure your mistakes against the highest standards of behavior. And this in turn signifies that your es- sential principles axe fine, and your character honest and sensitive, even if you did go astray, in con- fusion and pain, in adolescent years. Thus, prior to duscussing the technicalities of your son's status, it seems advisible to strett your own need of psychological help-- in the matter of giving yourself a fair break before the tribunal of your conscience. To prepare your son successfully for right living, you must recog- nize that you are inherently quali- fied to be a good mother; and that you are a worthy candidate for love, trust and respect as a grow- ing person, while you continue loyally to do your best. You can- not invest him with self-esteem-- a vital element of stability -- unlesh he. derives it from you) unconsciously. Therefore it is im- portant to his welfare that you cleanse your soul of secret shame, and regain a valid appreciation of your abiding human value, .

Milk Delivery System Needs Streamlining To Lower Overhead Brom British Columbia to New Brunswick there have been set up milk control boards, public utility boards and one-man milk boards, Yet invariably after public hear- ings and discussions before these bodies, the price of milk has been increased. This was the observa- tion of Mrs. Eugene Montgomery, President, Toronto Branch, Cana- dian Association of Consumers, in her brief presented at the Toronto hearing of the Ontario Milk Con- trol Board. Mrs, Montgomery pointedly asked the representatives present if the distributors had honestly tried to offset theatened increases in the price of milk by exploring the feasability of one or more of the suggestions which the Cana- dian Association of Consumers had presented in a previous brief in May, 1951. These include: a. Reduction of inefficiency in all branches of the industry. b. A thorough study of delivery costs (the effect of having no de- liveries on Wednesday, or of hav- ing them on alternate days.) c. A study of the sale of milk from depots with a promise of a 2c differential for cash and carry sales. d. A study of milk containers presently being used, and the ad- visability- of. employing larger con- tainers for use of large family consumers, e. A thorough study of the zon- ing of districts to eliminate un- necessary and costly duplication. To these initial recommenda- tions Mrs. Montgomery added oth- ers: a. A discount to be allowed for families purchasing more than one quart per day. This has prov- ed successful in Minneapolis. b. Less expensive coloured ad- vertising literature as put out by dairies. e. The modern expensive musical radio program entitled "Down Dairy Lane'We- Wandered" is de- plored. d. The hope was expressed that Canadian consumers might con- tinue to be free in this democracy to benefit from competition. Aside from the fact that mothers may reduce the quantity of milk purchased, as a result of higher prices for milk, thereby threaten- ing the health of the nation, Mrs. Montgomery cited significant fig- ures to prove her association's recommendations deserve consider- ation: she said that in Saint John,' N.B. when milk was raised from 18¢ to 20c, sales in the following months decreased 9 percent, 6 per- cent and 7 percent in comparison with similar months in the pre- vious year. ® romance begins with Madi by TUSSY Midnight's not a time + «+ it's a wonderful, romantic mood.

Eve) to Up-Halli-day or Twelfth Night (January 6) and so includes both Christmas and Hogmany. In pre-Reformation Scotland, Christmas Day was mainly a re- ligious celebration, and fun and feasting concentrating on Uphalie- day. After the Reformation, the celebration of both Chrisimas and Uphalieday was banned. In ancient Scotland, New Year's Day was November 1; in Chris- tian times, up to 1600 it was March 25. In the year 1600 New Year's Day was fixed as January 1 when the Scottish Privy Council discov- ered that . . . "in all. other well- governed Commonwealths and countries the year begins yearly upon the first of January, com- monly called New Year's Day, and that this really only is differ- ent from all the others in the count and reckoning of the years . . ." The change of day to January 1st brought New Year's Day within the Yule period and, coming shortly after the banning' of Christmas and Twelfth Night, caused much of Twelfth Night's carnival spirit to be transferred to New Year's Eve, or Hogmaaay. So the Yuletide marrymaking concentrates around "the binner end o' Yule." Many Yuletide cus- toms, such as the "redding" (tidy- ing) of the house, and the baking of the Yule bread became trans- ferred to Hogmanay. As the fes- tival increased in popularity it at- tracted to itself many of the rights formerly associated with the old Celtic Quarter Days, notably 'sain- ing, blessing, guizing, divination and "first-footing." And so, for 350 years, millions of Scots the world over have brought in the New Year with feasting and revelry. Your Front Door Says 'Merry Christmas All' By Simple Decoration Decorating the front door of your house is a happy way of saying 'Merry Christmas!" to friends and passers-by. First, it's a good idea to go out- side and look critically at your door as a stranger might. If it's getting shabby, a coat ef paint might be in order. Next, make a sketch of what you have in mind --a star, a tree, candles, Santa Claus, a candy cane, a Christmas cracker. It is wise to keep your plan simple and clear-cut for the most striking effect. Materials suggested include paint or enamel on plywood cut- outs of snow men or Santa Claus; red or green "Cellophane" for enormous bows; colored foil, the heavy-duty kind called dual foil, for backgrounds in gold, silver, midnight blue, green or red; thick boards of plastic snow which can be cut with a knife to make stars, snow flakes or trees; cardboard cut-outs covered with glue and sprinkled with silver glitter. Keep your decoration large -- larger than you think you need it. If it is too small or cluttered with little extras, it will only puzzle passers-by. Don't be afraid of bright color. You'll probably want to repeat your motif on a smaller scale in- CHILD GUIDANCE:- Frustrated by Unhappy Home Life By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS Often parents ask if they should teach the child® there is a Santa Clavs. What they really mean is, "Should we teach him there is no Santa Claus?" . Santa Claus is a part of ou folk ways. To make the normal child under five or six believe there is no Santa Clause would re- quire us to keep him away from: other children, keep him at home and never let him see any pic- tures in current newspapers and magazines of hear or see any- thing on the air or screen. Every time we told or read him a story we would have to select one wholly factual, or explain to him that the characters of all other stories were not real. We would have to keep all folklore and fairy tales from him. What a cold and boresome world he would have to live in! What a queer little person he would grow to be! WORLD OF IMAGINATION The child from two to five lives in a world of creative imagina- tion, and Santa Claus almost per- perfectly symbolizes this role of make - believe reigning as its king. And what fun the little child has over Santa Claus and the cre- ative world he symbolizes when other persons help him enjoy his illusions. Why try to hamper his imagination? Why not encourage it? Fortunately, folklore and fairy tales are coming back, and books to be read to children under five or six are turning more and more to make - believe. A few of the children's magazines have helped to restore these treasures to little childrep that bone-headed adults tried to hide or steal, being led astray by some who called them- selves child psychologists while they tried to put adult heads on little children's shoulders. Parents who enjoy little chil- dren, especially children from two to five or six, find that these youngsters not only prefer to hear stories which give human quali- ties to animals and even to inani- mate things, but also invent such creatures in their normal play. These parents do not charge the young creator with lying or de- ceiving but know that he has never felt himself nearer to the truth. And when the youngster spins wild yarns of fancy from his little head they hear these yarns with pleasure. Some wise parents write them down and read them back to him or file them for him to read himself by and by. These parents also stimulate him to create still more by reading to him more stories that are fanciful. (My bulletin, "Now Come the Fairies," may be had in a stamped envelope sent me in care of this paper.) PARENTS ANSWE! When the little child hearing such a story asks if it really happened, his parent answers, "No; we have just been pretending that it did". S o the parent replies when the youngster at five or six asks if Santa Claus is a real person -- the way we did 'with our child- ren and the way they are doing with theirs. No philosophizing about the spirit of Santa Claus, the child being too young then for such philosophy. The moral and emotional harm over Santa Claus comes only to! those children whose parents try to force Santa Claus upon them after they have outgrown him. side your hall We need to keep Santa Claus closer to the crib than has been our cus- . tom, One good way for preparing 'the youngster to give up Santa Claus gradually is to include 4 few gifts at Christmas marked 'From Mother," or "From Father," among the many 'From Santa Claus."
