fILD GUIDANCE ildren Should Be Taught ) . ['rue Meaning of y G.. C.LEVELAND MYERS haps the average child has selfish thoughts and feelings nd Christmas than any other of the year. For week before, heart and mind are strongly tred on dreaming and wonder- what gifts he will receive, and er Christmas he doesn't write nk-you letters unless his parents mpt him to do so. Ve should not condemn the child his selfish feelings around stmas, however. From earliest ncy, he has been on the re- ving line. There has been very e 5 his experience to make mn want to present gifts to others. inly he rarely has occasion make any effort, or to exercise ly self-denial, in order to buy Christmas Giving good practice from planning and choosing and handling money themselves. Far better moral values accrue when the child is taught to earn and save, especially save, and to deny himself some things he might like to have in order to buy Christ- mas gifts. IRON-ON DESIGNS Iron-on Designs in 3 colors (MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Dear Mary Haworth: My friend Alice (Mrs, Doe, I'll call her) has two sons, ages 5 and 8, who are in disfavor with the neighbors and their children. Alice is a very warm, friendly, sincere person fair and square in every way even concerning the battles that occur between her children ahd the neighbor children. ey live in a small house in the suburbs, on a street where every householder is a home owner of average income. When the Does first moved there, the neighbors all were friendly. But now for one reason or another (some of it be- ing the children's arguing, as chil- dren will), they have one by one dropped Alice to the extent of not speaking to her. And each mother has forbidden her children to play with Alice's boys. 1 know the boys are a little wild, ag boys will be; but I also know they are all right when hey Ray with my daughter, who is 8. I thi it is the moron neighbors' propa- ganda--what they say to their chil- dren, who then say to the boys Pose Problem For Young Mother Bickering Neighborhood Children "We aren't allowed to play with you'--that makes the brothers so rebellious: Ready to start a spat at the drop of hat. BOYCOTT RESENTED When the brothers bring a new friend to the block, from another block, the neighbor children man- age to lure the new playmate away Thus the brothers are left to play together, which they don't enjoy as they aren't the same age and don't like the same games. Alice wouldn't mind the boycott for herself, but naturally it hurts any mother to see her children ostracized. The Does bought their home four Fears ago, but she is so unhappy about the situation that she thinks of selling the property and moving elsewhere. She asks my advice but I don't feel quali- fied to give an opinion, and so we are turning to you for help. In your judgment, what is the wisest course for Alice to take? -- A. N. LACKS COMPETENCE Dear A. N.: One can't escape the impression that Alice herself is probably a principal problem. she is a displeasing person; on the contrary, she is quite likeable by genteel standards, I take it. But unfortunateiy she hasn't the social savvy and self-confidence to make a respected place for herself n the new environment, And as a consequence the block leaders drop her after a season's' inspec- tion and let her children become the butt of their children's imita- tive tactics -- rejecting, like ma- ma"s. It seems the neighboring parent, whom you refer to as "moron par- ents" feel culturally inferior to the Does. This I gather from their group discourtesy in cutting Mrs. Doe and ostracizing her sons from their children's Eh -- a very primitive way of asserting dis- gruntled recognition of a class dif- ference" between themselves and the Does. Even so, assuming (as I do) 'character in this hassle. Not that that Mrs. Doe is the finer woman, still I feel her difficulties go back to the fact that she lacks mature know-how in the matter of adjust- ing to changed conditions and peo- ple "as is." She is painfully less than adequate in this field of re- alism, as evident in her loss of face in the new community--a loss that she can't explain, couldn't pre- vent and shrinks from trying to remedy. Her impulse is to run away; and my thought is, she ought to know what is defeating her, before she makes a final decision. Thus my advice to Mrs, .Doe is to re- view the situation carefully with a Family Service Agency counsellor --who can probe the details at firsthand, get an objective picture of what goes on, and put her on the right track. It's possible she spot, if she knew how to deal with could overcome the problem on the the neighbors sensibly, -- M.H. Montreal Models' Fresh Beauty Hits N.Y. Commentators By PAULINE KENNEDY Canadian Press Staff Writer NEW YORK (CP)--A New York store fashion specialist took one look at Canadian models in an all- Canadian fashion show and said, "'umm--dreamy!"' 3 "lI wish they grew girls like that down here," said Ethel Fran- kau of Manhattan's exclusive Berg- dorf Goodman store as she watched the six Montreal models at work on the fashion ramp.

FRESH LOOK "They all have that fresh, healthy beautiful look every woman envies," said television fashion commentator Nancy Craig. Miss Craig's New York TV show later this week will feature 12 of the Canadian outfits. v Canadian textile manufacturers who supplied most of the fabrics to the designers came in for their share of glory too, Anne Yates Clarke, fashion wri- ter for the New York World Tele- gram and Sun found, "linens i exotic colors especially lovely," '8! bu, ted in dian designs--yet. thought in five Jeart, after a Canadian 3 on indus as been clearly tablished, that they might beating a path northward.
