Central Press Canadian. MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Should Mother Conceal Past When Questioned by Children ? Dear Mary Haworth: I have two daughters and a son by my second marriage, made when I was 35. The girls are 13 and 12 respec- tively, and the boy is seven. The girls often refer to the years of my youth and ask me why I didn't marry When I was younger. They wonder why I waited so long and ask if I didn't have any boy friends when I was a girl. The fact is that I married first when I was 23, and was married to George for seven years, when he fell in love with another woman and I divorced him on charges of adultery. One year later I met Robert, who was single, and three years later we were married. Now 1 have my children and a good husband and we are very happy together. I have destroyed everything that pertained to my first marriage and Robert has never wanted me to talk of those years to our children. But as I say, as the girls get older, they often question me about my youth--and especially as to why I waited so long to marry. - Should I tell them I was married before and the marriage didn't work? Or should I say nothing? Sometimes I think it would be easier and better to tell the truth than to make a secret of it. My husband advised me to write to you and see what you think is best to do. So I am waiting for your reply. 8.C.

TIERS established d and B= PIG 1733 SEED A NURSERY BOOK--bent Everl ) A Sr-- When they entered the opening rounds of the question-asking stage, reached by most children early in life, it would have been unfair to them, a case of overtaxing their grasp of environment, if you'd tried to explain your two mar- riages to their satisfaction. To know children is to realize that yours might have become confused, and possibly inexpress- ibly dubious about the permanency of the existing union, if you'd con- fided the capsulestory of your early marital misfortune to them, in their pre-adolescent years. Also there is a chance that they might have broadcast "misinformation" to the neighbors, via childish prattle, could have caused social di ture or evoked un- warranted snubs, A Now as the girls head, into their teens, it is natural for their thoughts to be occupied increas- ingly with meveries of boys and romantic love and marriage; and incidentally they will be asking reflective questions about your dating history. But they aren't so curious about what happened to you, as they are groping for a pattern of what to expect for themselves--trying to visualize how "true love" makes its approach, and makes its identity known. BAD CONSCIENCE In my mind it's a toss-up whether you should, or shouldn't, put all your cards on the table for the children's inspection before they are fully grown. I feel you've done well to maintain precaution- ary reserve as a kindness to them, up to this point. And if continued reticence would be more comfort- able than disinterring old material, I see no harm in holding your tongue. Since this policy has your husband's approval, your bad con- science about it is unwarranted, I My only advice is, don't le to them. If they should ask point blank, "Were you ever married before?' tell them the truth briefly without guilty defensiveness. And say you haven't talked abeut it your mother role or relationsh to daddy and them. M.H. Ronship Mary Haworth counsels through her column, not by mail or per- sonal interview.

I realized this when I had lunch with them during a break in their TV rehearsal. It started with the limburger cheese. Bud was having a dish of lim- burger with raw onion. This pained Lou, who put a napkin over the fragrant repast, "It's dead," said Lou. "Let's give it a decent burial." "Cut 'it out!" snapped Bud. "That cheese doesn't smell." This touched off a heated exchange that lasted several minutes, After the battle cooled off, I put forth the question of whether it's harder to make the public laugh today. "Absolutely," replied Bud. "With all the war and taxes and unrest in the world, people don't laugh as readily as they used to." "I disagree,' "countered Lou, who used to be the fat one but has slimmed down to Abbott's size. "I think people are more' eager to | _ Lively Badinage at all Times laugh than ever before--because of all their troubles." "You're nuts," answered Bud. "Ill tell you another reasdn it's harder to make people laugh to- day. Thanks to TV, more people are getting more entertainment than ever before in history. Some- thing's got to be realy funny or they'll switch the dial to another pri i They. argued this back and forth for a while. About the only thing they could agree on was: TV is wonderful. Ten or 12 years ago, we'd get mobbed wherever we went because of our movies," Lou remarked. "After a few years, that sort of died down. But now we're getting it all over again. 1 Pa took a trip east. When I over in cago, I had to make my way through the kids. When I walked through the lobby of the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, it was a mob scene." Both comics agreed that .they work hard for the new revival of their careers. Their show looks like a breezy, easy r. But Lou said, "I'd rather m: a feature picture than do one live show on TV." CHILD GUIDANCE BD Concessions Should Not be Made In Favor of the Nervous Child By CLEVELAND MYERS A certain lad of 16 was for a number of years very "nervous' and excitable, having had St. Vitus's dance at 10. The family doctor had advised the parents never to punish this child. 'Keep him from getting into a rage," he told the parents, "else his nerves will grow worse." In his home now the adults grow panicky when they see one of his tantrums coming. They almost tremble in servitude to him. He rules the house as surely as a savage chief. The parents of the very nervous child, of the child sickly in any sense, incline to allow this child to do what clearly is not good for him, "lest his nerves get all worked up." A mother wrote 'that her two children, six and nine, were al- ways complaining that they are punished for the very things con- doned in their brother, eight. 'We try to explain to them that their brother is very nervous." WORST TRAINING / "Of course, it is your child, Mother," I replied, "but if you wish to further peace and happi- ness in your home and avoid making an incorrigible and more nervous boy out of your middle son, you will punish him for the same type of offense you would punish the other children. The worst training possible for his mental health, personality and character is for him to learn that he can always have his own way, because of his physical condition. Let no be just as certain and final to him as to his brothers. (My bulletins, 'How Teach To Meaning of NO" "Stubbornness' and "The Nervous Child," may be had in a stamped envelope sent me in care of this paper.) But at his age you should find no occasion for corporal punish- ment. Instead, limit his privileges. A very effective but safe and humane punishment would be to require him to sit unamused, do- ing nothing, for a definite period, say 25 minutes. PAYS OFF LATER And here is a strong argument for training the child before the age of three or four to accept no unemotionally. If adequate res- traints are established then, the child in' sickness or health at a later age can be properly re- strained when necessary without resort to physical pain. The chances are that most highly nervous children are that way be- cause they never have been con-/ trolled or have been punished in- effectively. Usually, the child most in need of discipline is the very nervous. child. It's rot easy, of course, to re- strain or deny the sickly child when we know we should. Yet to pamper him is te retard Lis physical re- covery, not to mention his moral development. Let this be our rule: Not what will be easiest for us and our child now, but what will be best for his welfare and happiness later. Noth- ing is very important in terms of the present when we are dealing with the child; always it's the future--tomorrow, next month, next year, many years hence or even when he will have grown up. Sees Need of Theatre Classes To Teach Inexperienced Groups OTTAWA (CP)--British adjudica- tor John Allen last night said Canada's amateur stage needs theatre classes to help inexper- fenced Little Theatre groups with their acting problems.

The festival continues tonight with the Ottawa Little Theatre Saturday Players' production of If you cook with gas, be sure to be certain the pilot light is burning before you turn on the gas to be\lighted from it.

Mr. Allen commended the Brock- ville group for a sincere effort with the "extremely difficult" play, a mystery story written by Vera Caspary and George Sklar. . It was a good stage story, but did not 'have a lasting effect on the minds of the audience, andtherefore required xequired expert acting to bring out the characters in the play. He found the Brockville players inexperienced. They had not caught the right idea. "I know the Canadian theatre this criticism very gently--on tip- toe," Mr. Allen said. '"'Acting is agony and terribly difficult, I have given up acting myself and now Just tell other people how to do it."

Cedar Dale Home and School Hears Talk On Art Program Miss Florence Hart was the guest speaker at Cedar Dale Home and School Association at the re- gular meeting on Monday evening. Miss Hart, who is the supervisor of Art in the Oshawa public schools and was inroduced by Mr. A. 8. Winter, principal of the school, gave a most informative talk on the work being done in the field of art in the schools and describ: ed in detail the changes that had taken place in the program of the Lart classes. Miss Hart said the purposes of the art teacher was to visit the school once in four weeks to show the teacher new ideas and to try to help in the use of and how to handle new materials. She said that her position was that of a supervisor not a teacher and the art lessons were carried on by the teacher. She felt that a great deal of credit must go to the teachers for carrying out a fine job. Miss Hart's work included the ordering of art suppies for the teachers and in the past she has had Sat- urday morning classes for chil dren in grades seven and eight who took their work back to their school classes for the teacher to see. The speaker stressed that there was great elasticity to the art program which was influenced by the teachers personality and her interest in' this field. There was no definite course of study, it had a broad program to fit the in- dividual. Also included in Miss Hart's work was that of helping with C.R. displays. CNE posters, and physical education demonstra- b tions, and library posters. There 'had been radical changes in the art program in the last four years it had changed from a Fri- day afternoon diversion to an in- tricate part of the school program and was used to interest and broaden children she said. During her talk, Miss Hart stated that art was used to relieve emotional and physical tensions which were found in children as well as adults and mentioned finger painting as IT'S A HONEY !

Drawing to music was another method used. Materials used were salt, cornstarch, clay and plastics. The speaker said that art was used to develop a fuller apprecia- tion of what was around us and to develop creative abilities. No copying was done as the children were taught to exercise their own minds and use their own work. The speaker also pointed out that the first art products of the chil- dren would be crude and should be accepted as their ability at that level. As their mentality develop- ed, so would their art. Never laugh at a child, she said, try to find something to praise about his work because this would encourage him to bring his work home for his pareiits to examine, Miss Hart asked that when a teach- er requested the child to bring materials from home to work with to send them cheerfully and in good condition. The teacher would appreciate it and it would create an enthusiasm and a feeling of happiness between home and school. The president, Mrs. J. N.

Mr. A. 8. Winter, principal, gave his monthly report to the parents, reminding them of the necessity of keeping the children from play- ing on the icy roads, and warn them of the danger involved, and to have them be most careful when crossing the streets. He ask- ed the co-operation of the 'parents in seeing the pupils did not come to school too early, other than in cases of necessity, as it was im- possible to provide supervision for them, stating if they came at 8.45 and at one o'clock, would be plenty early. The boys and girls were request- ed to have permission from their parents if they wished to use the rink after school hours. The president announced a mem- berghip drive was being held by the Association beginning in Feb- ruary, and it was hoped the mem- bers would try to make the as- sociation membership much larg- er than it was at the present time.

Riel Rebellion is Vivid Memory To Sask. Great Grandmother MEADOW LAKE, Sask. (CP)-- A woman who watched halfbreeds making bullets for the Riel rebel- lion out of lead tea-wrappers lives alone near this town 150 miles northwest of Saskatoon. She is 86-year-old Mrs, J. B. Fide ler, born Veronique Gervais at St. Francois Xavier near Winnipeg. Her husband, a great-grandson of the Hudson's Bay Company trader and surveyor, Peter Fidler, died in 1950 at the age of 93. Brought up by her grandparents, | she moved with them to Batoche when 16 and there she had a ring- Se seat for the Riel rebellion ac- on. WATCHED HALFBREEDS "I remember how the half- breeds made ammunition," she said. "They took turns, two at a time, melting the lead that came wrapped around the Hudson's Bay goods in frying pans over a camp fire. We girls used to watch them make bullets out of the lead." Mrs. Fidler had 17 children and the last count of grandchildren was 100. "The camera wouldn't be big enough to take a picture of all the great grandchildren," she added. She recalled that she arrived in Batoche with her grandfather, Don- | . ald Ross, in 1884, "That was the year that Old Man Batoche, Gabriel Dumont and Charlie Nolin went to Montana for Louis Riel," she recalled. '""When Riel came, they ran away and would not help him fight." GRANDFATHER KILLED Mrs. Fidler said her grandfather was not a halfbreed and did not want to fight. But three of his friends were killed by the redcoats and he began shooting at the sol- diers living in Batoche's house. The "soldiers asked Ross to stop shooting but he was so angry he would not stop and the soldiers killed him. "The trouble started in March," she said, counting the months on her fingers, '"'and it was all over in June.
