TREASURED IF YOU are one of those for- tunate ones who have a big, fat Christmas check that is apout to burn a hole in your pocket --then you'll probably be cast- ing an eye at a fabulous mink coat. However, it is wise to shop carefully for a coat that will be a lfe-time joy and luxury. So here are some pointers given us by fur authorities which may be a guide in making the most of your money. First, when buy- ing ranch mink see that the POSSESSION skins are dark. The darker the | skin the more valuable the gar- ! ment. And be careful to see that every skin is backed by a sub- | stantial guarantee. As to styling, that is, of course, up to you. The one shown is typical of this season's fashions. It is a long coat with the skins worked in vertical strokes. The collar may be worn flat or doubled and the slashed sleeves can be turned up into a deep cuff or turned down to the wrist. By TRACY ADRIAN Find Soft Music, Q "Aid Recovery of Hospital Patients IOWA CITY, Ia. (AP) -- Books and musical records are among new adjuncts to modern medicine which are being used with success at the state University of Iowa hospitals here. Even persons unconscious from a severe injury such as a skull fracture are subjects to whom volunteers read aloud as part of as mental conditioning procedure. . Mrs. Leota Stagg, Librarian in .charge of the 'reading therapy" program, says it is based on the idea that "a cheerful, happy pat- jent is a better patient" and more likely to to treatment.

DIAL 5.0433 uiet Reading who explains "its successful ap- plication involves close co-opera- tion" and study of individual cases. "Reading therapy"--known for- mally as bibliotherapy--is espec- ially effective with patients who are depressed prior to major sur- gery, with those who have lost use of their legs or arms and with the blind, Mrs. Stagg says. For its pioneering work in this field, the hospitals have built up a library of 7,500 volumes and a staff of 64 volunteer workers. Special equipment includes three "talking book" machines on loan from the library of Congress, pro- jectors which throw micro-filmed books on the ceiling, page-bypage, for paraplegics, and reading frames which are attached to the respirators of polio patients. There are also books in Braille for the blind, books in large type for persons with impaired vision and numerous musical and 'talk ing book' records. A young woman may read aloud at the bedside of an unconscious patient. Mrs. Stagg explains that often such patients when they re- gain consciousness, remember parts of the story and ask for the "library lady." . The major use of "reading ther- apy," however, is for conscious patients who need a psychological assist. The reading helps banish fear. Paraplegics--those who have lost use of their legs or arms as a result of polio or injury -- often pose the greatest challenge. "Such patients often lose the will to live because their lives have been shattered," Mrs. Stagg poitns out. "Their therapy program must be well organized, geared toward helping them accept and adjust to their handicap." The basic thing, says Mrs. Stagg, is that the reading or music -- and sometimes even the personal- ity of the person administering the 'reading therapy"--be suited for {rubbers and overshoes begin CHILD GUIDANCE Ways of Building Character Outlined for Interested Groups By G. CLEVELAND MYERS Many parent study-group leaders and teachers in the grades have written me for suggestions on character education of young child- ren. They seem to be looking for something apart from the kind of things I often have discussed in this column. In the last analysis, all good education at school and especially at home, is character education whether we know it or not. It is desirable, of course, that we em- phasize more than we usually do those traits which seem to make children good citizens now, and promise to make them good cit- izens also as adults. Unfortunately, prevailing educational ideas have more or less ridiculed as futile all efforts at direct instruction-- at telling children, for example, "This is right." "That is wrong." And parents seem to be acquiring a similar attitude. BASIC STANDARDS Granting that some standards of right and wrong are changing from time to time, you and I believe that certain basic ones are stable enough for us to accept them and teach them to our children. What can be more demoralizing to the child than to hear us quibble over small shades of differences? Any- way, conduct is not so much a matter of reason as habit and emotion. Ycur child and mine, especially in his early years, does what promises satisfaction and avoids what promises discomfort. In the long run, everybody does. If the child had acquired a few basic inhibitions long before he knew why, inhibitions which later proved to him to be reasonable; had lived with those who under- stand him, respect his personality, and win his affection and esieem; then, if his parents and teachers, being admired by him, live the good life, he will incline to emulate them. Moreover, at quiet moments when the child's attitude is fav- orable toward them, he should hear them say every now and then, ""This is right." "That is wrong." "I wish you would this." "I wish you would not do that." These words can be very effective if dropped at the right time, when the relations between you and your child are mutually comfort- able, when you are emotionally persuasive and he is emotionally receptive. You have often read or heard it said that only in the immediate situation can any word about right or wrong be effective. But as you and I know, we may be most unfit then to talk of the moral problems involved, and the child least fit to hear us. Too many disturbing emotions may be in force then. Usually, we can get best results when no problem is immediately at hand And doesn't the child have mem- ories. These can be very useful to him at quiet, comfortable mom- ents, when any worries, threats or regrets are farthest from his mind. We shall not, of course, ignore the childs routine health habits, emotional self-control, opportun- ities to achieve and express him- self wholesomely, or habits and attitudes of self-reliance and res- ponsibility. We shall find that his honesty, truthfulness and regard for others' rights will depend pretty largely on our relationship to him. And all our efforts at armouring him in desirable attitudes and be- havior toward the opposite sex will be most effective, once we have established and maintained his abiding affection and esteem.

Care of Overshoes Will See Them Thru Balance of Winter It is just around this time that look weary and shabby. With a little effort however, they can be given a new lease on life. -- An important rule to keep: in mind is that rubber galoshes and overshoes should be washed with soap and water only. They should nover be cleaned with gasoline, kerosene or any cleaner containing oil or grease. If any of these fluids are used they might crack the rub- ber, wrinkle it and possibly remove the glossy finish. Another thing to keep in mind is never to leave rubbers in too hot or cold temper- atures. They should 'be taken off and wiped with a damp cloth im- mediately after wear. If this is done after each wearing, it will prolong the life and apearance. Winter overshoes, made with nylon, canvas velveteen, should first be alowed to dry thoroughly and then brushed with a semi-stiff brush. .They should not be washed with water or oil containing chemi- cal cleaning fluids. When vacuum- ing the house it is a good idea to go over the inside of the overshoes at the same time. This will help remove some of the loose dirt which accumulates there, HOUSEHOLD HINT If you've decided to do your own wallpapering, get out the electric mixer for the job of blending the wallpaper paste to a smooth con- sistency.

HOLLYWOOD HIGHLIGHTS Greer Garson Will Do a Strip In Her Next Cell HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- The Marilyn Monroe bug has even bitten Greer Garson. That lady- like star will do a strip-tease in her next movie. The script of "Interrupted" which stars Marjorie Lawrence calls for a "Salome' 'bit. That means, says MGM, that Greer will toss off- as many of the seven veils as the law will alow. "Why not?" asks a studio Hollywood B&P Club Names Marie Wilson Most Glamorous, '52 Marie Wilson, blonde curvaceous star of CBS radio's popular "My Friend Irma," has been named "the most glamorous woman of the year" by the 150 female mem- bers of the Hollywood Business and Professional Women's Club. The organization is composed of outstanding women lawyers, doc- tors and business women of South- ern California. According to Miss Jess Hogue, president of the Holly- wood Business and Professional Women's Club, "Miss Wilson was chosen America's most glamorous career woman becaue she com- bines beauty, talent and intelli- gence -- three vital elements for the achievement of success--which most men believe can never be combined." The organization, a chapter of a nationwide group, formally cited Miss Wilson at its annual banquet Thursday night (8), presenting the star with a gold make-up kit. The citation accompanying the kit read: "The Hollywood Business and Professional Women's Club be- lieves that Marie Wilson would be a success in any field of endeavor she might attempt. This embraces all the professions, including law, business, saleswomanship, as well as act- ing." ACHE ALL OVER? Do you seem to "ache all over"? Or do you find it hard to stoop or bend?

Mr. Mellow, in closing, likened the Christian life to the raising of the arches which is soon to take place. 'He stated that '"'as the church would not be complete with only a flat platform, but needs arches lifted up, so we need to be | raised up to points where God can | give us His strength."
