If you have a child under five or six, or in the primary grades, you may Ww if you can do anything now and later to armor him against cheating when he will be in high school or college. WHAT TO DO Here are a few suggestions: Resolve that you and your spouse will strive hard, in all you do and say, to set an example of moral integrity. Remember that your child ob- serves what you parents do. He hears what you say when alone with you in the family and when neighbors or other persons are there, Does he ever hear you tell how you have deceived somebody? HOW HONEST ARE YOU? When you find an error on a bill in your favor, does he know about it and that you have cor- 'Says Women Excel As Paper Hangers By EDNA BLAKELY Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO, (CP) Women make ex cellent paperhangers, says Lilla Tillson.

MODEST LUNCH The third part of the e.peri- ment is to eat a modest lunch, but no chocolate bar. At dinner, have one serving of everything, one serving only. 'Skip the rich dessert. Since that is the tough part . . , try this plan which worked wonders for 'one teen- ager: When confronted with des- sert temptation, she would ask herself how she'd look with that pie plastered on her waistline and the chocolate eclair glued to her hips!

So the second part of the chal- lenge is to turn the empty calor- ies taken between meals into nu- trition assets. If you want an apple during recess, fine, have a big one. After school, you'll be hungry. Something that will ab- solutely hold your appetite in check until dinner is a hard- cooked egg. During the time it's cooking, swing through shape- ups.

Estimate a Wife Is Worth $5800 p.a. To Average Farmer TORONTO (CP)--How much is a farmer's wife really worth? A Canadian Federation of Agri- culture statement reported Mon- day notes estimated replacement values varies mot so much with the wives but with the specialists whe do the figuring. The federation said one special- ist figured a minimum of $2,000 a year while another placed the value of the farmer's spouse al $5,800. The lower estimate came from Washington State University, the federation said, and was based on a minimum 40-hour work week at $1 an hour, as housekeeper, baby sitter, cook, nurse and gov- erness. The federation said to this fig- ure should be added workmen's compensation and liability insur- ance for the housekeeper, the cost of advertising, interview and screening, plus the cost of a training period. The other survey, with the higher figure, assumed a family of husband and two small chil- dren, aged four and 16 months. This is the way its figures were listed: Combination nurse- governess for the children, $80 a week; part-time housekeeper, 16) hours at $1.50 an hour, $24 a week; baby sitter, six hours a week at $1 a hour for $6 a week. Allowing for a vacation, which few farm wives get, this brought the total to $5,800 for a 48-week year. Federation officials sald in comment: "Isn't it time we mere men wakened up to the fact that our CHANGING FASHIONS Fashions in wallpaper, as in furniture, change with the years, says Mrs. Tillson. Dark, heavy patterns have passed and light shades now are the trend. Many of the new patterns are almost indiscernible, a rough tex- ture lending the main interest. Popular now are mixtures of muted blue and green shades as well as blends of off-whites and old. The lighter shades have be- come popular with the improve- ment in wallpaper, she ex- lained. Many papers now are finished with a fine coat of plas- tic which can be washed and sheds dust. Light shades make a room ap- pear larger, just as a white ceil- ing appears to give height. A small room can be visually ex- panded by using horizonal-pattern wallpaper, Mrs. Tillson says. The lines don't need to be obvious. A subtle pattern is enough. CLEANED wi removal of grease spots. In applying wallpaper, the ceil- ing should be done first, with the strips running from the window so that the seams won't show up in the light. On the walls, start in the least obvious corner, usu- ally behind the door, where it doesn't matter much if the pat- tern does not exactly match. Mural papers are an exception. They should be applied from the centre, with the work flanking out from there, and seams must not overlap. To get paper on straight, it might be an idea to suspend a weighted string from the ceiling, and then draw a vertical line with a pencil. "I've never seen a house with perfectly straight walls," Mrs. Tillson says. "Unless the woodwork is par- ticularly well kept, I advise peo- ple to paint it the same color as the background of the paper. Just as the frame should not be the prominent part of the picture, the woodwork should not be the prominent part of the wall."

EXPLAIN TO CHILD When no problem of right or wrong directly faces your child, you often should, at quiet, com- panionable moments, talk to him about being honest and truthful in hundreds of situations he may know about, and give him the reasons why.
