NO PLAYMATES CHILD'S AGE You know the child, often a boy from 6 to 10, who is a loner. He may choose to be alone but normally wants to be with his peers. He may even try to bribe them to come to his home, when they hardly will stay long or soon return. He tries to have his own way with them and then he can't, he inclines to quarrel with them. He rarely goes to where they are for he may feel he isn't anted. He can't compete with them at play, so he may seek the company of younger or older children. children let him boss them, the older ones incline to protect him when he's not a nuisance to them. The younger Parents Of Lonely Child Should Encourage Friends times bring them there they must have good times through what can't be bought with money. They must find real play enjoyment. So be guided by this objective. You may need to employ great skill and find ways to guide your child toward this end. You can study with your child then in his relations with the other children, restraining him in his selfish urges, aggressive- ness and bossiness, guiding him in ways these other children will like. You may not see great gains, it may be a long uphill pull. APPLAUD SUCCESSES Meanwhile, aim to help him gain in normal skills at play and in consideration of the rights and feelings of members THE STARS SAY By ESTRELLITA FOR TOMORROW An excellent planetary day: Many surprises can be expect- ed--especially in the way of job recognition, unexpected busi- ness gains, help from influen- tial friends and-or pleasing communications. FOR THE BIRTHDAY If tomorrow is your birthday, your horoscope holds out some very pleasant prospects for the coming year. Within the next 12 months, you should find your energies at a highly construc- tive peak, and the outlook is excellent for job advancement, business expansion and finan- cial gain. On the occupational and-or business score, you entered, as of this past Mon- day, a truly excellent six-week cycle for advancing your inter- ests, which will spark still fur- ther progress during the last week in January, throughout May, August and September, December should prove highly profitable as will the first three weeks of January, the first 10 days of February, the first week in July, mid-August (which could bring an unexpect- ed windfall) and all of Sep- tember. Just one admonition, how- ever: Do avoid temptations to speculate during late February, throughout March -- especially its last week -- and the first three weeks of April. You may be offered some high-sounding propositions during any of those weeks, but don't listen! Watch your budget next November, too, since, even though your financial situation should be stable, you may face some extraordinary and quite unanti- cipated expenses. There will be periods during the coming year, notably in May and June, when you may experience some domestic ten- sion due to over-absorption in business matters. Avoid, by being especially considerate in close circles.

F FOLLOW THE EASY RULES FOR WEDDING PUBLICATIO The wedding season never ends but reaches peaks in June, September and October. Throughout the year The Oshawa Times tries to accommodate its readers by provid- ing space for accounts of weddings and some photographs. Each week, under the heading Wedding Album on the social page is published information on how to proceed with the publication of a wedding. Forms are available at The Oshawa Times office. Publication of this wedding record depends upon the submission of the completed form to the women's editor at least three days before the cere- mony. Reports received after the ceremony has taken place are not acceptable. This arrangement which has been in effect for one year, ensures that weddings appear in print within one week of their having taken place and are still newsworthy. The record of the bride-elect's showers and her out-of-town guests should be submitted at least five days prior to the wedding. All commercial photographers have long been notified that if the bride wishes a photograph to -accompany her | wedding story, they must submit a print within four days following the wedding. These arrangements must be followed absolutely to meet the demands of both space and time. special shoes to correct a struc-| tural defect, particularly when the child is young.
