Some Useful School Equipment That a Whole Family Can Use By G. CLEVELAND MYERS Some of our public schools sup- id our children with nearly all and equipment they need, especially in the elementary grades. But usually these helps jlesd to be supplemented by t e. To get along well at school, a child in the upper grades and school needs a good foun- pen. Some pupils in the uj per grades and high school could profit from having a typewriter, if they are taught to use it well. Many homes could afford such equipment. Indeed, a typewriter is useful in almost any home for the adults, too. . IT'S EDUCATIONAL Properly taught to use a type- writer, even the first grader may find it useful at learning to read and spell. He hardly will hit on ways of reversing letters or at mirror writing if he uses a type- writer. The machine always moves 3 the proper direction--from left With a typewriter, a child in the first. grade soon leans the let- ters of the alphabet. He likes to spell on this machine and write words and sentences as we spell slowly for him. In the second or third grade he may choose to copy sentences, paragraphs or whole pages from favorite books, obser- ving all the punctuation and cap- italization. Some children can thus teach themselves the mechanics of English. A mother or father may type the name of pictured objects which a beginner chooses to cut from old newspapers and magazines, under each object, or even a sen- tence or two about the picture-- a very useful plan when a child's Depiniin g to read. CHILD's OWN STORIES The little child likes to have us take down stories he makes up. Then what fun it can be for him to read the story after we have it. child of the upper grades or high school may take at Pride in typing work for school. 'or a college student, a type- writer is essential. Very useful, too, for all school children is a good encyclopedia. From it the school child can gath- er much information related to his school assignments. Besides, the whole family will often refer to this encyclopedia during family discussion and following what they have seen or heard in the papers or on the air. Even when the youngest child is only three or four, the parents will often need an encycl a to answer his questions. And every home should have a good desk dictionary. LEARNING ABOUT WORLD In a family of growing children, a good map or atlas of the world and a globe are valuable equip- ment all the time, since every day they hear or read world news. how much geography may be mas- tered at home. Children at various ages, espe- cially in the early grades, need a number of good books of their own they can read for pleasure, and many fine ones are now avail- able. But along with good books, magazines and the like, the child also needs to be in a home where everybody reads a great deal. Combines Flying With Operating Beauty Parlor MONTREAL (CP)--Monique La- pierre operates a beauty parlor to make a living and jumps out of airplanes in her spare time. : The attractive 20-year-old girl from Coaticook, 100 miles south- has made a SEW-THRIFTY Girls who go in for the great outdoors will find this blouse both smart and practical.

THE STARS SAY By ESTRELLITA FOR TOMORROW 4 Do not let temporary setbacks east of Montreal dozen parachute jumps in the last two years. Monique admits that jumping out scares her. The sight of the ground so far below and the sensation of dropping give her stomach convul- sions, she says. "I never open my eyes until the parachute opens and sometimes not even then." To make certain that the para- chute does open, Monique packs it herself but even then she feels nervous until it finally blooms out above her. The only time she was injured was when she jumped into Lake Magog last year. In jumping into water the parachutist drops out of his harness 10 feet above the water so that the chute may drift away and not entangle him. J Monique misjudged her height and pl d 75 feet instead of 10, breaking a few ribs. Over water, where there are no familiar objects to observe, it is hard to judge height and distance, she said. She picked up her strange hobby two years ago to impress a friend. y He was an aspiring pilot but could not get his licence until he had made a parachute jump. When he showed timidity about the idea of jumping, Monique offered to show him how easy the whole thing was by doing it herself. She did--becoming Quebec's first woman parachutist--and has been at it ever since. The boy friend never did go through with his jump. THE ONE - YARD SKIRT! Stretches your wardrobe!

By ELEANOR ROSS Tray meals for television fans, conservation of space because of high costs of building and land, the trend toward a more casual, less formal mode of living--these are some of the reasons given for the demise of 'the dining room. But just the same, the dining room isn't quite dead yet. In fact,' it is slowly returning to life, de- spite all the reasons advocated for relegating it to the past. A talk with architects and buildars, not to mention decorators, plus a survey of recent new * suburban developments, found the dining room still in favor. ROOM OF MANY USES True, it isn't the formal, con- ventional room of yesteryear, just as today's meals aren't the heavy, stodgy affairs they used to be. The new dining room is an airy, bright room, a room with a great many uses. Space is so valuable that we cer- tainly can't afford, nor would we like to have, a room that is in use but a few hours a day. So we arrange furniture for gracious or informal dining, and give the room plenty of storage space to take care of its use as a sewing room, a study place, an extra sit- ting room. Useful in this setting is the table that extends to take care of added place settings, a well as a small table and set of chairs for one or two place settings. Wrought iron &nd glass is used for many of these auxiliary sets, and very made wonderful color. A handsome table that had seen better days took on new life . with the use of white enamel and a black glass top. The ladder- back dining chairs had been treat- ed to the white paint, too, and foam rubber cushions were cov- ered with tomato red plastic with white fringe. Draperies of white with a small design in tomato red, white walls and t| over in gleaming black, added up to an extremely handsome room with a flavor all its own. Since the room was quite large, it permitted auxiliary dining space | an old table was] Because it was and for this, cleverly redone. round, it was decided to give it a slipcover skirt of white felt, edged with tomato red fringe and topped with plate glass. Ice cream parlor chairs went nicely with this. fireplace done ~ {THE EXPERTS SAY .

'We saw such a set sthartly used in a remodeled dining room. It was placed against a wall that had been papered in a handsome design simulating brick, with es- paliered peach trees and a bottom horder of flowering shrubs. Look- ed for all the world like a terrace, and the wrought-iron dining set helped carry out the illusion.

Marguerite Louise, boys at the Notre Dame Convent School on Prince Edward Island will be able to learn wood- work. Sister Louise was one of 125 teacher-students graduating from the five-week industrial art train- ing course at the Ontario College of Education here. Examples of her woodworking handicraft were on display with the work of fellow students. She admitted that the long robes of her religious order hampered her work, but said it didn't bother her too much because she was not doing advanced work with ma- chines. "There is no training like this available on the island," Sister Louise explained. "So I came here to get it. The boys enjoy this kind of work so much." i Like the other graduates from the course, including six other sisters, Sister Louise is a fully qualified teacher.
