CLEVELAND MYERS When a child over eight or 10 continues to suck his thumb it becomes a serious problem for him and his parents An Ohio mother writes "You have helped us twice with annoying problems through your writing and a letter. So again we ask for help "We have an 814-year-old son who still sucks his thumb. A little in school, much at home, in church, in public, anywhere He has sucked since birth. He likes sports, doesn't care much for school but his marks are all right. he is a nervous child, from a family that is nervous. "He wants to stop but can't And promises of rewards are futile because, as he says, 'The thumb goes in my mouth any- way.' JUST A HABIT "I know that this {is not dis- obedience, but habit. He would rather suck even with bad-| tasting medicines on the thumb "We can't go on being ashamed of him and it isn't good for him to be ashamed of himself. And I know he is. We wouldn't care so much and could be more understanding if he didn't do it in public. But an $14-year-old boy! "We read to him, check his TV programs and see that he gets plenty of sleep "He seems to get along with his friends all right." My reply: It won't be easy to help that His Thumb it and if all of you work to- gether to build him up to feel more mature and worth while in the family and among other children Some years ago I had success with a few older children in this way The mother set a period of the day when she agreed with the child that if he kept the thumb out of his mouth for 20 minutes while she observed him, she would mark down a St} score for that day. She would do this on successive days, and if he failed during this short pe- riod she wouldn't put down any mark. Of course she would be careful not to notice during the rest of the 24 hours PROMISED A PRIZE Beforehand she promised him that when he got a total of, say, 20 points, she would get him a prize he would greatly cherish Usully the child, on discov- ering he could control the habit for a period of a few minutes, would see that he could manage himself at other times One child, 12, after a few days of the experiment, told his mother she didn't need to bother about the prize as he was sure he could succeed without its help, and he did PARENTS' QUESTIONS Q. What needy students have the best chance of winning scholarships? A. Those in the top third of the class in high school or with high entrance test-scores. | ANN LANDERS Grandma's Knitting | Creates Problem Dear Ann Landers: This is a problem too tough for me to jhandle. My grandmother is 83 lyears old -- well-meaning and jsensitive. She is proud that she 'can still knit without glasses. Last Christmas Grandma knit} socks for my husband. Grand- ima feels hurt because she has jnever seen Howard wear her 'creations. If you could see the sweaters and socks you'd under- stand. She runs out of yarn and the dye lots don't maich One armhole is four inches smaller: than the other. She makes up her own designs and 'they are pretty awful. The socks. just kill Howard's feet. She-tied knots in the heels and the knots give him blisters He refuses to wear the socks and I can hardly blame him. Every time we see Grandma she asks why Howard isn't wearing the things she made for him. Help, please. AQUAMARINE Dear Aquamarine: Tell grandma, Howard wears her creations only on sp al occa sions. One day, make it a "special occasion,"' deck How ard out, and make a call on grandma. He can change socks in the car Dear Ann Landers: Our daughter is attractive, ener- getic, capable, and active in everything from politics to ath letics. Beth excels in cooking, sewing and music, and she has won prizes and awards galore. With all her accomplishments Beth lacks confidence and she is painfully shy. Our big prob- lem is that she doesn't want to go away to college because she can't bear to leave home. Last year she attended a 4-H con- vention and was miserable the entire week. She said she en joyed the program immensely, but. fought homesickness and | tears for seven straight days Our son, on the other hand, can be away from home very easily. He doesn't have her drive for excellence, however. What can we do about Beth? >» let her attend a local lege or should we insist she go away to school? DILEMMA Dear Dilemma: Children can not live forever under the pro- tective wing of home and par ents. Parents usually pass on first and the individual who has not learned to fend for himself ; is in for serious trouble. Urge Beth to go away to school. If she is utterly terrified at the prospect, permit her to spend one year at a local col lege. If, after a year, she re- fuses to leave home, she should have therapy The umbilical cord, if not severed by then, could strangle her permanently. Dear Ann Landers: I am writing to complain about money. I am 10 y s old. I get 40 cents a week. The boy who lives across the street from me is only nine years old, He gets 50 cents a week I do a lot more. work than he does. In fact he doesn't do any- thing. He doesn't even take his own bike into the garage when you if I think you are "'under- paid." As for the boy across the street, kids who collect money for just breathing and aren't ex- pected to do anything in return for their allowance, have their problems later. So cheer up, pal, you're in better shape than he is. Confidential to Ready To Give Up: Your husband must tell his brother to get off his "high-class qualifications" and get a job. Any job. Give him ten days to! go to work and kick in 15 per} cent of his pay for room and board, laundry, etc. usually} | le +4 i Dessert Musicale | | t Warmly Received The Dessert Musicale which was sponsored by the Sunshine Unit of the United Church Wom en of Simcoe Street United Church, was very well received by the many guests present. Mrs. Jelle Bakker welcomed everyone and called on Mr. Re- ginald G. Geen, L.T.C.M., F.C.C.O. (Hon.

Among other things he stressed the point that children should be told to prac- tise until they had accomplished certain amount; never told to practise for a stated length of time, which in that case may just be time wasted. Larry Johnson returned and closed his portion of the prog- ram with the solo, "Jerusalem"' Fred Graham concluded his pi ano selections with '"'The Polon- naise" by Chopin Mr. Cotton brought the musi- cale to a moving close as he sang as his encore, "Ole Man River" The artists were thanked by Mrs. Jelle Bakker, who invited he guests to retire to the Mem- orial Hall which was gaily de- corated in St. Patrick's theme and looked most attractive with its cloth covered tables, each with it's own spring flower, A buffet, laden with a variety of special desserts, enhanced by triple silver candelbra and floral arrangements was the focal point for all.

It's the latest in womankind's long search for ways to show whether a blessed event is due. These methods range from soothsaying to frog tests The new test is ultra-modern in concept, requires no animals and can be completed in four hours. It achieves the same approximate standard of accur- acy as the best of previous tests Like the older tests, it relies on detecting human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in urine HCG is a hormone secreted in early stages of pregnancy. Tests were conducted with stone peach halves, drained Lemon juice lg cup commercial sour cream Y% cup finely chopped dill pickle 1 tablespoon minced parsley | 2 tablespoons minced onion Marinate fish in milk for 15) minutes. Saute 4% cup minced onion in 44 cup of butter until transparent. Add breadcrumbs and toss lightly until coated with butter. Salt and pepper the fish and top with bread-crumbs and arrange on a greased bak- ing sheet. Bake in a 400 degree} oven 15 minutes or until flaky. Sprinkle peach halves wit h| lemon juice. Combine the re-| maining ingredients and let} stand a few minutes. Spoon into peach cups and serve with fish. Man States Views On Fashion Foibles The fashion industry is a gig- antic plot, a world-wide conspir- acy "to drive men mad, yes mad, with desire," McKenzie Porter writes in the current issue of Canadian magazine. "You will see that women's garments for 1962 are conspi- cuously voluptuous,"' Porter writes.
