CLEVELAN DMYERS During the last several years parents have read and heard that the most important need of the growing child is for abundant love from his parents. This strikes al- most everybody as good advice. But in trying to profit from this advice, parents, especially parents | of young children, are considerably confused. The terms 'self-demand" and "permissiveness" have become tied up in the minds of parents with "love." To them, love has come to mean that the youngster must have what he wants when he wants it and be allowed to do about as he pleases. More recently, some pediatri- cians have said that, while let ting the infant determine when he shall be fed has merit in his early days, in arriving at the length of time between feedings best suited to his physical needs, he should approach, roughly at least, a reg- ular schedule before he is many weeks or months of age. They admit that not all babies will, on their own accord, choose ey regularity. Yet a great many mothers go on supposing the child should continue indefinitely to be fed when he seems to be hungry, no matter when or how often. Obviously, this is related to the wide problem of discipline and suggests restraints-to-the - winds. Besides, many mothers identify parental love with permissiveness. They assume that if they restrain their child at one, two, five or later, he will feel frustrated and suppose he isn't loved. One mother wrote me, for ex- ample, that she would like to break her two-year-old of sleep- ing with her, but, if she denied him this privilege, he would be so . frustrated as to suppose she didn't love him; and that she didn't want him to go through life hampered with frustrations. Just when will her child choose to sleep alone, I wonder ? i WOULD BECOME SLAVE | If she consistently followed this line of reasoning, she would not forbid his running into a busy street. If he wished to climb on a ladder to the top of her house, she should not interfere with his wishes. If he wanted her to carry him about most' of the day, she would have to do it. As you can | gee, she soon would be a slave to m. . Before very long she and others would be vexed at him and, in desperation, would deny him some of his most cherished wishes. See | how strong and numerous his frustrations would be then.

Tea, unrationed since October, is back to old-time popularity in gift chests and fancy caskets. The end of ted rationing, one of the most unpopular measures since food control started in January, 1940, contributes to the seasonal brightness of Britain's lightest-ra- tioned Christmas since the end of the Second World War. Controls still govern such things as meat, eggs, butter, cheese and sweets--but counters groan with a variety of g es that more than covers the gaps. There are crystalized fruits, mar- ron glace, iced cakes, sweet biscuits and despite the threat of shortage referred to by the food -ministry early this year, canned goods are still plentiful, CHEAPER TURKEYS 7 Turkeys and other poultry are in better supply than last year-- and less exnensive. Home-killed prices seen since the war. Toys cove almost every taste. A delta-wing jet plane that flies on solid-non- © 'ammable "fuel" costs just over £1, and there's a stylish on three small electric batteries. CORONATION SCENE Youngsters with a love for lead soldiers go for the toy Coronation scene comprising a gold state coach drawn by eight horses and escorted by "soldiers of the Queen." Well-dressed dolls, cute animal caricatures and a large variety of mechanical toys range in price from £1 to £2. There are also radio-controlled cars and jeeps, en- gineering sets, electric trains, cow- boy outfits with "shootin' irons' and spaceman get-ups with sonic beam 'guns. This is the first Christmas since 1939 stores have been opened for evening shopping, and business has been brisk. Gifts are more attrac- tively assembled. The chief lack is in full-fashioned nylon stockings. But there is a generous supply of nylon undies with deep insets of lace that make attractive gifts and cost less than £3 Another welcome return to the gift shelves is delicately-patterned china, not marked as "export re- him, and speak to him less often! in quiet tones and endearing ways. | She would tend to do the opposite.

Myths, Legends Add Mystery To Festival ject."- turkeys sell at seven shillings and under, geese, ducks, chickens and Irish turkeys average 5s 6d. A variety of unrationed food is available. Included are coeked gam mon (bacon) at less than 10 shil- lings a pound and many unrationed cheeses, such as English stilton. Shops display the most attrac- tive variety .of gifts at reasonable prices. TRANSFER DESIGNS In the folklore of every people | lie superstitions and legends at- tendant to the facets of life. In this respect, Christmas is not dif- ferent -- for as the festival has come to us through the a~es| it has grown, and become embel- lished with the imagery and fancy of many peoples. From the highlands of Scotland omes the belief that folks born at Christmas have the power to see spirits and even to command them to their bidding: From the peasantry of France are the beliefs that Christmas Eve babies will have a 'ready and facile tongue', those born on Christmas Day 'will be gifted with logic', and that girls born on Christmas will 'be witty, wise and virtuous.' To be either lawyer or thief is the fortune for those Christmas babes born in Silesia. Other superstitions in conjunc- tion with Christmas claim -- if one dies on Christmas Eve, the gates of Paradise are open, and no one | enters Purgatory . . .'Irish legend. To accept a gift of edelweiss in the Swiss Alps, is also to accept the man who offers it. Christmas baked goodies, par- ticularly bread, are saved till sow- | ing time in order to insure a good harvest -- according to a Danish belief, Because so many of the customs attendant to the use of evergreens were so closely allied to the early pagan celebrations, high church- men in the 5th and 6th centuries Jorkade their use at Christmas time. Whether believed or not, there's a host of magical beauty in the superstitions and divinations of the legends akin to the mystical magic of Christmas. » CLOTHES PIN APRON A fancy, practical apron is a .

We have two grown children. Some months ago my husband started a car pool, to transport four persons besides himself to his place of business. Two girls and two young men shared the costs of this arrangement. However, three of these persons have since found other means of getting to work, but my husband and one of the girls continue to travel together each day. This girl is 20, married and very pretty and I have been told that she is a flirt. Isn't this a temptation for a man to avoid -- this twice-a-day ride with a pretty blonde girl? As she is so much younger than I, don't you think my husband makes comparison, I spoke to him once and told him that for my peace of mind he shouldn't continue to take her out in his car. He got angry and said I was jealous. Well, maybe I am, for I am sure that I cannot com- pete with her, and I am very unhappy about the situation. Can you suggest any remedy, or any way out of this triangle? George does favors for this girl. Although he is home every even- ing, I feel that something has come between us. I try to think it is only my imagination. Should I speak to the girl? How does one cope with a situation like this? .I do need an answer soon. K.C. ANGER IS REVEALING Dear K.C.: Evidently your hus- band knows, without being re- minded, that he is open to censure in sharing daily rides with another man's wife, who is young, pretty and reputedly flirtatious. His trig- ger temper when you voice con- cern about the arrangement sug- gests that he is at war with his conscience, even before you re- proach ' him. He cannot deny that he is mis- behaving in such ways as giving a bad example, flouting universal rules of prudence and decorum, publicly inciting gossip, etc.--even assuming his indiscretion is no worse than this. And the speed with which the car pool dwindled indicates that other members of the group soon developed misgiv- ings about the set-up and withdrew Your outspoken anxiety is in- honest than George's angry denial that any- thing is wrong. He is trying to pull the wool over your eyes in charg- ing that your distfess is a by- product of "jealous" imagining. Various straws in the wind tend to support your inference that he is infatuated with the young woman and possibly one or the other con- trived the car pool as opportunity when friend s drop in PE APRON, just send a stamped, self - addressed envelope to the | Needlework Department of this | paper requesting Leaflet No. S E-2608. i.

AVOID NAGGING As for what you can do to dis-| solve the triangle, I think an attitude of cool casual awareness | of mischief offstage -- a passive refusal to agree that "black is white," may bring your husband back to his senses gradually. In the meantime there's no use nagging and no use making a piti- ful or clamorous display of your fears and inferiority feelings, as you contrast yourself to the pretty young matron. Rather, you should make yourself as attractive as possible, without trying to imitate or compete with anyone, and spend | a good many evenings in social circulation with George. Perhaps he is bored and looking for diver- sion and if he were to find it in your company, by stirring around, having fun with mutual friends, he might more readily renounce the "temptation" of acquiring the blonde.

HOLLYWOOD HIGHLIGHTS Appearing With Gives Delight to By BOB THOMAS | HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- After co-, starring with Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, says Charles Co- burn, "I feel 20 years younger!" "Ah, youth!" sighed the 75-year- old actor as he reflected on the two glamor girls with whom he is appearing in '"'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." "I have always made it a habit to watch young people; that's the best way to find out how people are living and thinking," he said. "And I can't think of any more pleasant work than watching Miss Monroe and Miss Russell. Each possesses sex appeal to a remark- able degree. That is a kind of animal magnetism which is rare in human beings." Apart from their obvious physi- cal attributes, Misses Monroe -and Russell are pleasant to work with, Coburn commented. '"Each has a sense of humor, and that is a valuable attribute in a woman," he said. 'Neither has let fame go to her head; they are] regular and don't put on airs. Glamor Girls Charles Coburn "Miss Russell seems like a very smart woman, she has apparently managed her career intelligently. Marilyn has had less experience in pictures, but she seems eager to learn. She will listen to direction and advice, which is something a lot of newcomers won't do." Looking forward to more work with Russell and Monroe, Coburn sald he was reminded of a story about the late Jusiice Oliver Wen- dell Holmes. "One day when he was 90," the actor related. "he was walking down a Washington street with his old friend, Justice Brandeis, who was 70. As they walked along, a pretty girl came toward them. She gave them the eye, and they tipped their hats. After she had gone 10 paces past them, they turned and she gave them the eye again. Then Holmes turned to Brandeis and sighed 'Ah, to be 70 again!'" Phone The Times with yours today.

THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, December 24, 1952 ¥ Many Are Assembling At Bethlehem For Annual Christmas Pilgrimage . By MONICA DEHN Just for one day in the year, the high barbed wire that guts the Holy City in two is pushed aside and Jew and Arab forget their hatred, and the two sectors of Jerusalem, modern and Jewish, are joined. , The year round, Arab Legion guards, in their gay red and white checked headdresses, and Israel soldiers, wearing British battle- dress, have stared sullenly at each other across the few yards of no man's land and kept a tensed finger on the trigger. But from Christmas Eve until the end of Christmas day, the bar- riers are pshed aside, the rifles held a little absentmindedly. For across the lines are streaming christian worshippers from Israel on their annual pilgrimage to Beth- | lehem. | From mid-November onwards, !

Then they are passed to Jordan through the good offices of the Israel - Jordan Mixed Armistice Commission and finally returned to the Governor of modern Jerusa- lem, Dr. Abraham Biran, for & final check. And at seven p.m. on Christmas Eve,'as the star which guided the three wise men begins to twinkle in the eastern sky, the first group of pilgrims assembles outside the revolving doors of the luxurious King David Hotel. They are all members of Jeru- salem's Consular Corps or U.N. agencies working in Israel and they 'line up formally in order :of precedence, First comes the Dean of the Consular corps in Jerusa- lem, the Greek Consul General. Amongst them, Britain's Consul General in the Holy City, Mr. H, R. D. Gibbon Moneypenny, is the only diplomat stationed on the Arab side of the lines who crosses into Israel to join the pilgrimage. All the members of the Consular corps are in diplomatic dress. Their cocked hats glitter with braid, their silver swords glean through the blackness of the cold Jerusalem midwinter night. As the convoy moves off, the sweet notes of "Come all ye faith- ful" peel from the bells in the tower of the pale pink stone Y.M.- C.A. opposite. LIMOUSINES ARRIVE Ten minutes later the diplomats' sleek limousines draw up at the border, a stone's throw from the palatial home of Palestine's High Commissioners, -- now a U. N. Palestine headquarters. Amid the light of roaring bonfires, Arab Legionaires and Israelis together give the pilgrims their last check- over. In chorus, Jew and Arab call out 'merry Christmas, merry Christ- mas' and give each other the one smile of the year. Then, with a flourish, they wave the pilgrims on- wards. towards the field of the shepherds and on the mid-night mass at the Stable site. Next morning, as the weary diplomats return, a second group of about 1,000 pilgrims sets out from Israel to Bethlehem. These include the priests and nuns who live in the quite monasteries and convents of Nazareth and Tiberias and the Mount of the Transfiguration; orphan children in the care of religious orders; the elderly, maimed and weak of the Christian charitable instiutions in Jerusalem. With them are the hundreds of Israel's Christian Arabs living in the villages of Galilee for whom Christmas is®the one occasion on which they can meet members of their families 'on the other side'. » But in twenty-four hours the make-believe peace comes abrupt- ly to an end. The last straggler is pushed unceremoniously into Israel and the high barbed wire barriers are rolled back into place. Once again Arab Legion guards and Israel soldiers stare sullenly at each other across the few yards of no-man's-land. YOUR BIG MOMENT is when folks bring you cash for things you're no longer using!
