14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, September 1, 1966 ANN LANDERS Parents Must Educate Child * Dear Ann Landers: A three- year-old boy rode his tricycle down a driveway into the street and was crushed to death under the wheels of my brother's The parents of the child were in the yard at the time. They saw the boy ride into the street many times but did nothing to stop him, Those parents are as ity as my brother yet the driver is the one who must carry the burden. Although ex- onerated of any negligence or violation of the law, my brother became despondent. His health broke and he committed suicide. I am a mother, too, and I know how the parents of that 'small child must feel, but why don't they realize it is their responsibility to keep an eye on children who are too young to exercise mature judgment? Traffic has only one place to run -- in the street. Children have many places to, play-- their own yards, the city parks, playgrounds. No driver wants to hurt a child. Truck drivers are the most cautious of all. But a child can run faster than a truck can stop. Please Ann, print my letter and add a plea of your own to parents of young children to watch them and teach them to stay out of the streets.--Broken Hearted Sister Dear Sister: I can add nothing to your powerful and eloquent letter. Thank you for writing. Dear Ann Landers: You said in your column a few weeks ago that you are sick of com- plaints about teen-agers' hair and I don't blame you. But I hope you will print just one In Traffic Safety Our 16-year-old son, Keith, plays the drums in a musical group. My husband and I both approve since we can think of worse things for a teen-ager to do with his time, Keith says he needs long hair for the act. We don't like it but we've gone along. Last 'week I noticed that the boy has been swiping my hair curlers, Also the can of hair- spray I bought a few days ago is half empty. I told my hus- band about it and he thought it was funny. I am not amused. Should I ignore the whole thing and hope it will pass or what?--Perplexed Dear Per: For now say noth- ing. He'll probably get tired of it when the novelty wears off. But please write to me in six months, If Keith is still fooling around with the curlers and hair-spray, I'll suggest some action. Dear Ann Landers: Will you please tell cheating husbands to keep their mouths shut? Some women insist that if their husbands were unfaithful they would want. to know about it. They are either kidding them- selves or they are masochists. The husband who confesses all is trying to ease his guilty conscience at the expense of his wife's peace of mind. 'It may make him feel better but it won't do much for her--except make her heartsick, depressed and suspicious forever after. I THREE WEST Berliners, reflect the new look in West German women.

"I have always liked writing and books," she told me. 'But I've been especially interested in the children's book field ever since I was 12 years old. That is when I started buying books for my sister and noticed how few existed at that time that really had any strong appeal for children who were learning to read." Roberta kept children's books on her mind through high school, college and an earlier career as a copywriter for ad- vertising agencies. But she didn't begin to write children's books till she retired from busi- ness to have a family of three daughters. WROTE BOOKS "In the days when my chil- dren were pre-schoolers,' she told me, "I tried writing pic- ture books. But I couldn't get these first books published, so school I decided if I couldn't pick the publishing field I would join it instead." To get her start in the world of books, Roberta used her ad- vertising background to obtain a job writing jacket copy. Later, she went to her pres- ent company to seek a job op- portunity, because when she had been home writing books she had once received a nice when my daughters entered, letter from one of the editors When she joined the editorial staff, her first assignment was a French cookbook. Later she went into the development of a 'igpecial series of hooks, And still Mi She is Roberta Miller, an edi- later -- while watching her youngest Gaugnter try to nandie an enormous book with small hands--she conceived the idea of books, which are the size and shape of building blocks and which were used in Operation Headstart recently. "Since I've been at my pres- ent firm, I've written jacket copy, catalogue copy and sev- eral books,' she said. 'My present responsibility is adver- tising, display and promotion." To people who have always had the desire to write a chil- dren's book, Roberta Miller has this to say: 1. Go to the largest stores in your area and study the kind of books each publisher puts out, 2. Research the length of the books and the manner in which the material is presented. 3. Talk tolibrarians and teachers and find out what ap- peals to the young reader. 4. Plan and write a book of wide application that fills a need, 5. Have a good illustrative idea on every page. 6, Make your subject a sim- ple one. 7. Refuse to be discouraged by rejection slips, since it is said to be an author's market for those people who write what publishers want.

One of his key fall-and-winter themes is the tunic for every hour and occasion, varying the length as he moves round the clock. Some fall to mid-calf and the longest are almost floor length, mostly in light colors. He favors white and all the coffee and brown shades, tailor- ing them with flapped pockets and shoulder tabs for daytime, and winds up for evening in shimmering silver, pewter, gold lames, and metal-brocaded chif-| fons. For an eccentric accent to his} serious conceptions, Balenciaga) has lots of fun with fur and feathers. Coq (rooster) and ost- rich feathers are prime favor- ites. He does great cartwheel brims in coq feathers, in brown, white, black, coffee, and rose. They go with elegant matelasse ensembles.
