FINE FLEECE TOPPER THIS versatile little coat was one of the styles seen at the re- cent March of Dimes Fashion Show at the Waldorf Astoria. This gala event featured the newest inspirations of all the top designers and, as we all know, the funds received are devoted 'to fighting polio. The topper is made of white heather-fleece and has a folded ledge collar, raglan shoulders and winged cuffs. It's an all-purpose coat that will go equally well over dresses or sep- arate skirts and is an important item for resort and spring ward- robes, By TRACY ADRIAN HILD GUIDANCE Extra Work or Reading Can Help Child Who Has Nervous Habits By G. CLEVELAND MYERS The child who feels all astir inside most of 'the time must be very uncomfortable. If he makes many - useless movements and wriggles a great deal, his ways tend to annoy his parents, teachers and other adults, whose responses to him in turn make him more 'nervous' 'and more wriggly. And if he has tics or habit spasms, its m'ore unfortunate. One mother whose son is a problem writes: Dear Dr. Myers: Our boy, eight, is very high-strung. It seems he goes from one nervous habit to another, such as blinking, wil ing his mouth pulling his ears and, at the present time, he whistles at frequent hnervals, ren interrupting sentences es to let 4 with a good whistle. 'While father and I try to notice these things, t' always succeed. G STUBBORN His teachers tell us he is always wriggling around and doesnt g"et his work completed, though he Jets very 'good report cards. His report card, however, showed a big drop in conduct and I learn- ed from his teachers he is be- coming stubborn. . "He gets at least 10 hours of sleep. We read to him a lot and his er does a lot of things with him. At present they are making , He has been under My reply in part: From your letter I infer that you parents are wonderful that you read so much * to him and his da'd makes things with him. Perhaps Dad could at one or more of his sons pals to join them in making things and g places together. You say nothing about playmates. Un- lay normally with other boys of Ris om experi- ences with them at school hardly could be happy. I can see how his ways at school could 'annoy his teacher and get him into trouble there. Her natural efforts to curb him in the interests of the group could arouse stubborn- ness. CHALLENGE INTEREST Of course, your making any sug- gestions to the teacher is a deli- cate matter. But if you can do so with skill, you might win her to set this bright boy to extra work or reading, challenging his interest and effort. The regu- lar school work may be a bit boring to him. You can do most at home. Keep much harder to be indiffer- ent to his nervous habits. Though you say nothing about them, you can betray by your demeanor, movements, even our breathing, your concern or annoyance. Try to laugh more and tell more jokes and to cause him to do so, too. 1 hope Le is not exposed io many exciting programs on the air, It might be wise to have his vision checked and a more thor- ough examination by a specialist to make sure there are no rem- ediable physical causes high - strungness, I am enclosing my bulletins.

DIAL 3-7021 The activities of the Oshawa Branch of thé Canadian Red Cross Society were varied and intensive, as shown in the reports presented at the annual meeting at Adelaide House on Friday evening. Mrs. N. C. Millman, recording secretary stated that the executive had met on five occasions with an average attendance of eleven. A part of the premises at 20 Albert Street leased from Alger Holdings Limited at a rental of $75.00 per month continued to be the home of the Red Cross in Oshawa. It was felt that these rooms were not adequate for the work in hand and any Idea of ex- pansion in the program was out of the question so serious con- sideration would have to be given in the near future to the procure- ment of larger quarters. DISASTER SERVICE An Emergency and Disaster Service under the chairmanship of Mr. R. F. Aker was set yp accord- in: to instructions and specifica- tions from Ontario Division. Twenty towns in the three counties of Durham, Northumberland and Ontario came within the Oshawa District, having Cobourg, Port Hope, Bowmanville and Oshawa as the main centres. The Oshawa Disaster Committee had accurate lists of doctors and nurses avail- able in an emergency, also lists of shops and warehouses where blankets, sheets, beds, food, trucks and ambulances might be acquired on short notice. The Rotary Red Cross cottage, located at the west end of Lake- view Park, had again been turned over to the Children's Aid Society for July and August of 1952. The resident wards of the Society enjoyed a beneficial holiday there during these months. Mrs. Frank Chappell was the convener for this activity. WATER SUPPLY PROGRAM The Oshawa Branch participated in the National Red Cross Swim- ming and Water Safety program by combining its efforts with those of the CRA, the Rotary Club and the Board of Education. Using Ritson Road and Rotary pools the program was supervised by CRA with six instructors, holders of Red Cross swimming qualifications in charge. 12,505 children used the Rotary pool, 13,205 used Ritson 'Road during the summer months of 1952. Tests were held at the end of the season with Mrs. Phyl- lis Moody "of Simcoe Hall as examiner, and the following awards given: Senior, 12; inter- mediate, 10; junior, 25. The Oshawa Branch paid $600.00 to the CRA that this highly important service should be given to the children of the community, The convener of this activity was Mr. E. J. Weir, During the year the Branch supplied the local Board of Health with 20,000 capsules of cod liver oil .for distribution to under- privileged children, mostly at Simcoe Hall, and also with 12 blankets, 12 baby sheets, a bolt of flanelette and 40 surgical towels. / Thirty first aid boxes were re- plenished in 1952. These were used by CRA in the various parks and playgrounds throughout the city. The branch sponsored a home nursing course at the «Oshawa Missionary College / under the instruction of their resident nurse, Miss Stickle. Eleven students registered. |. A Red Cross First Aid Instruc- tors school was organized at the his | Oshawa General Hospital, BLOOD DONOR CLINIC The Mobile Blood Clinic visited Oshawa four times during 1952, in January, March, July and Septem- ber. Seven hundred and ninety two donation of blood were given. The clinics were held in the Masonic Temple under the chair- manship of Mr. F'. Aker, and Mrs. Norman Hinds as secretary was responsible for the denor panel. Mrs. Donald Hall was convener of food service. The Oshawa Branch still con- tinued to handle enquiries to and from mid-Europe. With one or two exceptions all persons in- volved had been traced, reports made to Headquarter sages relayed through the Red Cross Channels. Thus new Ca- were. helped in their adjustment to a new homeland and international friendship strength- Fine Reports of Year's Activities Presented at Red Cross Meeting ened. Transient residents calling at the Red Cross rooms or otaer- wise registering a need for help have been referred to Colonel Murray Johnston, and through him to the Rehabilitation Council or elsewhere as required. nder the direction of Mrs. T. K. Creighton a request for books was circulated. Over 500 were col- lected, « carefully screened, and sent to Fairview Lodge in Whitby. It was hoped very shortly to have a volunteer group within the Branch who would belp with the canteen at the Lodge. JUNIOR RED CROSS Regarding the Junior Red Cross in° Oshawa there were 116 junior Red Cross groups in the public schcols with an enrolment of 4,083 pupils. They raise money by paying a membership fee, by regular monthly collections and sale of baskets, waste paper, white elephant sales. For the an- nual fee of $1.00 the 'Juniors receive health cards, lapel pins, leaflets®containing suggestions for programs and the monthly maga- zine. The funds were used for treatment for handicapped chil- dren in Canada and also to send food, clothing and other supplies to less fortunate children in far away countries. The Junior Red Cross had an enrolment of over 41,000,000 members. During 1952 Juniors in Ontario had senf ap- proximately $73,000 to Divisional office and 48,281 articles for dis- tribution at home and abroad. The Financial Report as present- ed by Mr. A. S. Hill showed Receipts $41,975.15 and Disburse- ments $23,801.15. In reporting for the Welfare committee, Mrs. T. K.

It's a problem worth looking in- to at this time of year when the of daylight are stil shorter than most of us would wish. Sewing experts emphasize that the solution does not depend en- tirely upon skill though skill in mac! sewing, they say, is more easily acquired by right methods and practice that can be learned in a sewing center than many women, who have been sewing for years, realise. Experts agree that organization of time is an impor- tant part of the answer. Mary Brooks Picken, a foremost authority on sewing, and author of 91 books on sewing skills, outlines a method of organizing sewing time that any woman can adopt. In the sewing book she calls it "bundle sewing." The time saving secret is to cut out several garments at once, This is the ideal method for a mother who sewing for children. Little notes from ttern instructions should be attached to sections where. piecing is necessary or where there is some special point to remember. "Then roll the pieces up neatly into separate bundles," suggests Mrs. Picken, "so that the machine work for all can be done at once. The handwork can be done at leis- ure, in the shorter evening hours, while listening to the radio, chat- ting with the family, or even dur- ing the visit of a neighbour." Another vital time saver is to use a sewing book regularly. How often a pattern instruction may say "finish with a French seam" or "mitre the corner." One fiddles about trying to figure out how it is done. The sewing book will re- call vividly to mind the details learned in a home dressmaking course in a sewing center. Like the course it goes into finishing details more fully than pattern in- structions do. Your sewing book will save you hours of twisting material this way and that, sewing and ripping to find out how a de- tzil is done. The Singer Sewing Africans are employed in the min- es and many in other modern work, making, with their 'depen- dents, a community of hundreds of thousands. The mining companies and the British government provide health services, education, etc., but the challenge to the Christian church lies in the fact that these African have been transferred from their primitive village life, The tribal and village influences are gone and not yet replaced by Christian principles. The situation is danger- ous. Book has line drawings that with the words make details like tuck- ing; Jans, hem finishes, button. holing clear and easily understand- able. Mrs. Picken also nume erous suggestions for e saving attath- uses of sewing machine ments.
