ANTHEA STEWART (left) and Patricia Gilchrist, 17 - year - old Ottawa high school students, have organized a group to aid American white and negro civil. rights workers. The group is affiliated with the United States Students Non- Violent Co-ordinating Com- mittee (SNCC). The girls say too many teen-agers re- fuse to take a stand on con- troversial matters. (CP Photo) Ottawa Girls Start Organization To Raise Money For Civil Rights By BRENDA LARGE OTTAWA (CP)--Two 17-year- old Ottawa girls have become so concerned about the hard- ships suffered by Negro and white civil rights workers in the southern United States that they have started a local organiza- tion to raise money for them. The Ottawa Friends of the Students Non-Violent Co-ordi- nating Committee was founded by Patricia Gilchrist and An- thea Stewart, two serious teen- agers who believe Canadians should help American Negroes fight discrimination. "While we can't go to states like Mississippi and work we can at least send money," says Patricia. "Civil rights workers in Jackson are going without food while trying to carry on educational programs." Patricia is a petite; dark- haired girl who wears dark- rimmed glasses. She and blonde Anthea, who makes most of the pag sig explained they got the a for a fund-raising commit- tee from Diane Burrows of Tor- onto. Miss Burrows, who spent last summer working in Mississippi, is touring Ontario and Quebec enlisting support for the Stu- dents Non-Violent Co-ordinating Committee, a civil rights group made up of Negro and white students. TORN DOWN Although the Ottawa girls started their group quietly in late December, they have al- ready run into some opposition from fellow students, their pa- rents and teachers. Said Patri- cia: "I nearly -had to peel my mother off the ceiling after I told a newspaper reporter I wanted to go to Mississippi to work as soon as I'm old enough. (Workers must be at least 18). "She sympathizes with the cause but thinks I'm too young to get so involved in it.' Some fellow students -- "es- pecially the boys" -- think the group is a joke. Patricia and Anthea have been ridiculed many times, ard have seen their posters torn down. "A lot of the boys laugh and hiss at us when we speak, and some are downright nasty about it." The youthful fund-raisers are often told they should forget about problems in the United States and concentrate on dis- crimination in Canada. To this they reply: "Sure we have discrimination in Canada but it isn't nearly as blatant or as violent as it is in the United States. People tell us that what happens to Negroes in Mississippi is none of our business. We say they're wrong. It is our business. When a Negro is mistreated in Mississippi, it says something about our whole society, our way of life." MUST REACH ROOTS They feel that a comprehen- sive attack on discrimination in the United States is essential be- fore it can be wiped out else- where, "After all, if you have a festering sore on your arm, you don't clear up all the little scratches first." Along with opposition, the girls have met with sympathy and interest among teen-agers approached for donations. '"'We sold 50 buttons in two days just recently." The buttons, which show a black and white hand clasped, sell for 50 cents, Proceeds go to the headquarters of SNCC in Jackson, Miss. By late January the girls had collected more than $30. It was sent to Jackson immediately, after Miss Burrows told them the student workers there had only $4 left in their fund. The Ottawa committee now has more-than 50 members in five high schools. It plans to concentrate on fund - raising combined with an educational program to make others aware of the problems existing in the South, Anthea, who is planning to be a social worker, says she doesn't expect all others to be- come involved as she is. "T'd just like them to do some thinking about .civil rights and form an opinion. Too many teen - agers refuse to take a stand about anything." Suggested 'Wash Lines' For Doing Up Knitwear By ELEANOR ROSS We've reviewed laundering procedures for knitwear fash- ioned of synthetic fibers, now let's talk about garments knit- ted of natural fibers. Cotton knits, again so popu- lar, need no special precau- tions during laundering by hand or machine. Hot suds and rinses are recommended if the colors are fast. Remove them from a dryer or line while they are damp. Then smooth and adjust hems, collars, cuffs, and pock- ets. For wools,, use suds and rinses that are lukewarm--the same temperature as a baby's bath. Unless wools are labeled "machine - washable" -- wash them by hand--supporting the weight with both hands cupped underneath during sudsing and rinsing. NEVER SCRUB Never scrub, rub, or twist wools to loosen deep dirt. In- stead, squeeze them in a sec- ond bath of clean suds and "massage" dirt-lines and stains with well - lathered fingers. Rinse by squeezing through several changes of lukewarm water. Launder cashmere, angora and mohair knits the same as other wools. When dry, shake briskly to fluff up the nap. Wools which don't need block- ing may be machine-dried at the "no heat" setting to leave them soft and fluffy without shrinkage. For quick, "old - fashioned" drying, before you let the air « jdo the work, spread the wool \garment between two turkish towels and press out . excess moisture with a rolling pin. Or squeeze the wet knit in a col- ander. THROUGH WRINGER Still another method is to fold the garment in a turkish towel and run it flat through adjusted wringer To block wool sweaters while damp, use a ready-made drying frame. Or make an individual frame by tracing each garment on. cardboard, cutting the out- line to make three pieces -- body and sleeves--and inserting these in the sweater while it is damp. "Block" a baby's knit bon- net by stuffing it with a towel, fitting over, a suitable bowl, or easing it over an inflated bal- loon. Most knitwear needs no press- ing. However, it may _ be steamed when dry. Spread item flat on the board, cover with a clean, damp cloth, and hold a hot iron just above the press cloth. This will create enough steam to erase any. wrinkles and will raise the nap. Omit the press-cloth if a steam iron is used, but do not let it rest on the knitwear. ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: Will you please tell me why a compli- ment sticks: in some people's throat? I know Ben likes 'chopped herring the way his mother used to fix it, Believe me it's a lot of trouble to bone and chop a herring but I do it because I want to please him. Why can't he show a little ap- preciation when I go out of my way to do something nice? What does it cost him? Last night I said, 'Ben, is the chopped herring good?" He an- swered, "I'm eating it, ain't 1?" I said, 'Yes, Ben, I can see you're eating it, but is it good?" He answered, "'If it isn't good then I'll tell you." Ben is a wonderful husband and I wouldn't trade him for a million dollars. He has always been a good family man but this one fault of his has been eating on me for 30 years. What should I do?--LUCKY I DON'T HAVE ULCERS Dear Lucky: If the worst thing you can say about Ben is that he doesn't rave over your chopped herring, you are lucky. Some women are married to men who can't translate their feelings into words. Pray for another 30 years with Ben. Dear Ann Landers: I am dis- gusted with the advice you gave the parents of a 20-year-old boy who got a 15-year-old girl in trouble. You said their son should return to college and the girl should go to the Florence Crittenton home to have her baby. Why shouldn't the boy be made to pay for his mistake? Decent parents would not have found it necessary to wrife to you. They would have insisted that their son marry the girl. Every child deserves to be raised by his natural mother and father and you should be ashamed of yourself for suggest- ing otherwise. -- DISUGSTED WITH YOU Dear Disgusted With Me: Every child deserves to be Chokes On Praise But Not On Food | loved, Often adoptive parents' can give far greater love than the child's natural parents-- simply because they want the child and the natural parents did not. A collared father and a trapped mother cannot help but harbor feelings of resentment. The bitterness is often directed against the child. These inno- cent victims--unloved and un- wanted--grow up to be emo- tional cripples. You'll never catch me. advis- ing parents to push children into marriage. It can be grossly un- fair to the boy, the girl and, most of all, it can be unfair to the child.

In fact, the weeks between April 15th and May 15th will be a highly pro- fitable period for Aquarians on practically all fronts. Not only will you see a definite improve- ment in the aforementioned in- terests, but the month will also be propitious for both romance and travel. Other good periods for finances: mid-August and late November. But do be con- servative' for the rest of. the the motion since I lived in such a home. Three years ago I spent four months in a Crittenton home in another state. I was treated with kindness and respect. Some of the girls I met at the home will be my friends for- ever. My son was adopted when he was 10 days old. Although I shall never see him again, it is comforting to know he will grow up with people who-can give him the emotionally healthy environment I was un- able to provide.

MYERS, Ph.D. What do you think might hap- pen if practically all children were read to once or several times a day from the age of two or younger till long past the time they entered school? Think of the years of their good education before they en- tered the first grade, Consider the hundreds of quiet hours of happiness for these youngsters. In the modern world of growing excitement and tensions in the home, ponder on the thought of the many hours of quiet plea- sure they would enjoy. Hearing over and over again the same story,the little child gains vocabulary and patterns of speech. He has more to think about and talk about. His im- agination is fired. He creates pictures and sounds in his little head. He connects in his heart and mind the story he hears with the book and gains a feel- ing of tenderness toward this book. He keeps wishing for the time when he can read from a book alone; and when he begins to read, he hardly will try just to pronounce words but he will try to get the meaning from them. So centered on the story he listens to enjoyably, he is prac- ticed in good habits of concen- tration. He is getting ready to listen raptly when at school the teacher gives directions or ex- plains things to all his class, or when a classmate reads aloud or giver his idea about what he has heard or read. In almost any home there is someone to read to the baby and young child--parent, grand- parent, guest, baby sitter or older child. When an older child reads to a younger one, there grows up a kindly feeling be- tween the two. What delightful companionship Dad may have with the little child while read- ing to him. IMPROVES READING SKILL See how. the older reading child may thus improve his reading skill. Indeed, such read- ing may be the best possible way for a poor reader to be- come a good reader. Even in homes where a parent does not read English with ease it could prove a boon. What is more, any person--child or adult--who often reads aloud to a younger child gains thereby in ease and forcefulness of expression. I probably would not be writ- ing this column and editing a children's magazine, had I not spent years reading aloud to my own children when they were very young. Before I had done that I had great difficulty in Early Reading. Start Is Good Background wrote like many dull professors write, _ Books from which to read to the baby and young child are relatively inexpensive; so are the several good children's mag- azines, Besides, many wonder- ful books for reading to children may be borrowed from a lib- rary. Perhaps 90 per cent of all homes in America could easily provide good sources from which to read to the baby and young child. Yet there are homes, alas, in deprived. areas, in which par- ents may neither have the means for providing such books, or the desire to read to their little children at home. Consider how meager in culture their little children may be on enter- ing school. But here and there one sees hope for these children, where the public school authorities are providing nursery schools in cul- turally deprived areas to admit children four years old or youn- ger. To these nursery schools some parents come and grow in- terested in what they may do for their children at home. |MOTHERS CAN HELP Most hopeful is the growing practice in a few places of in- ducing mothers to come to this nursery school to participate, especially to read to small groups of little children there. The kindergarten and pri- mary grades also afford great opportunities to have mothers volunteer to read to small groups of children, In a single classroom half a dozen such groups may be listening and learning eagerly and enjoyably. I like to dream of the day when, all over our nation, par- ents and older children will be reading aloud to youngsters for several years before they enter the first grade. Answering Parents' Questions Q. Our two daughters are four and two years old. I dread to send them to public school when the time comes. I'm afraid other children will tease and hurt them. A.
