THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1931 Contented Best Homes Nursery a Scales A 'pair of accurate scales in a ~ Nursery is a help, but a good pair of scales is rather expensive. You can easily find out from your hard- ware merchant or from a doctor a- bout a satisfactory pair of scales. If you cannot afford it at present, then the babv could be taken once a week to the doctor's office or to the nearest Daby Health Station, if ou are living in a city or town to be weighed. An accurate record of the Weight should be kept. The Baby's Room It is a great advantage for the Baby to have a room of his own. _ In this room all his clothes and oth- er belongings may be conveniently kept and here he may be bathed and dressed and aired and slept and nursed. A room of his own is not absolutely necessary. A safe-warm, quiet corner in another room will do if the house is not large enough to afford a Nursery for the Baby, but if his Father and Mother can ive him a Nursery, he is a lucky aby. Wherever the Baby sleeps, he must sleep in his own bed by himself and not with anyone clse, not even with his mother. A Screen is Useful A screen is useful to place around the Baby's bed or in front of the winidow to prevent draughts, as well as'to hold the Baby's clothing and MISS B. E.

Al- ways keep the Nursery tidy and keep everything in its place. Baby's Toys The simplest toys are the best. Celluloid rings and rattles are good, also soft rubber animals, not ton small in size. The Baby's toys should have no small parts attach- ed for these may fall off and then he might put them in his mouth and swallow them. There should be no sharp edges on a toy and toys should not be painted, stained or varnished, There is always danger that paint may con- ain lead, Lead is poisonous. In February of this year the U.S, Pub- lic Health Service was informed by doctors of a number of cases of lead poisoning in infants and young chil- dren which had apparently been | caused by their biting and sucking paint containing lead off their toys or cribs. ---- When you re-paint or re-enamel the Baby's crib be sure that the paint or enamel you use has no lead m it. How are you to tell? Buy five cents' worth of the paint or enamel and send it either to the Provincial Department of Health, or to the Municipal Department of Health, or to the Department of Chemistry of the nearest University and ask to be told whether the paint or enamel contains lead or not. Do not usec lead paint for any purpose, Sitting Up Don't hurry the baby. Let him take his time. He has plenty of tune. He knows best when he is ready. Soon after he is three mon- ths old he will be showing sings of lifting up his head and holding up his head without support. Let him try it when he wants to but be sure to support his back. Even if he wants to try to sit up with out help, wait a bit. Six months is young en- ough for him to try to sit up with out support, Always support his When he gets a good chance he will begin climb, and between nine and twelve months he may have learned to walk. Or it may be that he will not walk for three months or six months yet. Guard the Fire An open fire is very pleasant, es- | pecially when the Baby is getting his bath. Of course there must be a safe and suitable fire-screen. The fire is not needed all day nor is it needed every day, even in winter, But when it is needed, it a great additional resource and it always improves the ventilation of a room Nothing is more cheerful than an open fire, The Room Heat Cleanliness and Simplicity are the keynotes for the Nursery. The first may be helped by having evervthing of such character that it will not soil casily and that it can be clean- cd easily for the Nursery should be cleaned every day while the Baby is taken into another quiet, comfort- able room for a little change and airing, Of course the Nursery should be well aired while it is being clean- ed and then warmed again before the Baby is brought back. Always have an accurate thermometer in the Nursery and hang it on the wall farthest away from the fire or radiator or other source of heat.

One can not think of the board without thinking also of its chair- man who has presided over prac- tically every meeting since its in- auguration several years .ago. Keenly interested in all public health matters, Mr. Gibson has always been eager to see that Oshawa children are brought up in an environment which is con- ductive to health and happiness. Sun Essential The Nursery should have a sunny exposure, In other words the win- dows should look south, if possible, A sunny room is the place for the Baby. A sunny atmosphere is a great thing for health and nothing can take the place of the sun or make up for the lack of it. Two windows are better than one. As long as one window looks South, the other may look East or West, but South windows are ideal. How- ever, we cannot always get just what we would like, cven for the Baby, but when you are building a house, don't forget to think about a Nursery and choose the room for the Baby. Make It Pretty Stencils may be used to decorate the walls. - The Baby will soon be old enough to notice the birds and beasts which are painted there in various colours. The Nursery should be a pleasant place and should look cheerful and attractive. There should be nothing in the Nursery that is not pretty and sweet. --Canadian Home Journal. BOYS OF SCHOOL SERVE TEA Vancouver, B.C., May 29--Things have changed since the days of the little red schoolhouse, In a recent afternoon after four" o'clock 20 senior boys of King Edward High School belonging to junior and sen- ior matriculation divisions, served afternoon tea for the staff. The cvent was not as social as it might appear for the tea was the culmin- ation of the boys' winter course in camp cookery under guidance of the teacher of the home economics de- partment, - Every Thursday aiter- noon following regular school hours these boys spend an hour and a half omelettes, biscuits, cookies, soups, and other things. The affair was carried out in most approved soci- cty-column manner. Written invi- tations were issued, and boys "re- ceived" as hosts, . GIRLS ORGANIZE POLITICAL CLUB Youth of Australia Interest. ed in Government . Melbourne, Australia, May 29 ~--"It has recently occurred to a number of girls that the urgency of the present political position calls for assistance even from those who have taken little inter- est in public matters in the past and in particular from them- selves," says The Argus, They feel that today all should be impress. ed with the need for the rehabili- tation of Australia and that all should take an active part in it. To further this end they have de- cided that they should organize as many enthusiastic girls as pos- sible in all parts of Victoria activley to assist candidates at the next Federal election, They support 'the Lyons policy' and 'the honest way out of our diffi- culties.' "'At elections, it is felt, many men who could be better engaged in speaking or canvassing are occupied in driving speakers from place to place and with matters of detail, The Girls' Political Party = Auxiliary (the G.P.A'), as it has been decided to call the new movement aims at doing the work itself and so releasing men for other pur- poses. The auxiliary wants re. cruits who can drive motor cars and do energetically any work which the political leader consider of value." 2 may este sa-- Judge--"You treated the ® man most shamefully in the waiting- room and then came hack and punched him again, ' that?" sain.

Bryant, K.C., minister of public works, will be sought by every means in the power of the government of Saskatchewan, He mentfoned that lignite-burning equipment is being installed in the various public buildings of the province, following last session authoriza- tion by the Legislature. In 1928, according to Mr. Bryant's figures, more than half of the, 464,428 tons of lignite produced in Saskatchewan was consumed in' the province, the remainder being shipped to Mani- toba, mainly to Winnipeg. The restricted field is looked on by the minister as ample indication that the industry needs encour- agement, together with the fact that in 1928 eighty-seven per cent, of the coal used in Saskat- chewan was produced in Alberta. "That we should buy our coal from Alberta when we have an adequate supply in Saskatchewan is a matter that requires the serious consideration of the gov- ernment and the people of Sask- atchewan," Mr, Bryant remark- ed. He mentioned that lignite coal has been mined in Saskat- chewan for nearly 40 years, but the industry has not made satis- factory progress due to lack of Information, insufficient use of proper equipment and inadequate educational propaganda. 'Saskatchewan lignite can be successfully burned im its raw state with the highest efficiency and maximum results in furnaces and stove if proper design are used," Mr. Bryant claimed. He went on to say that the Saskat- chewan lignite area is located in the southeastern part of the province, is served by a network of railroads and is adjacent to the most densely-populated parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Available markets for increas- ed use of Saskatchewan lignite is mostly in heating and cooking in homes and apartments, Mr, Bry- ant had found. A fuel demounstra- tion car has been fitted up by the government to induce the householder to burn lignite. Ams ple fire-box capacity: and grate area are prime requirements of a lignite-burning stove, since .a relatively larger amount of the fuel must be used than of hard coals, po CHILDREN TAKE & PART IN FESTIVITIES News Westminster, B.C, May 29 --May 15 was the one great day in the year for children of this city. They took part in all the phases of the May Queen celebration and the May Day Committee members felt amply repaid for their weeks of ef- fort by the spontancous enjoyment displayed by the yonugsters of all ages. It was said that the children of the city and Fraser Valley would as soon climinate Christmas as May Day. Miss Frances Miller, petite brun- ctte daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Al G. Miller, was crowned the sixtieth May Queen at the Diamond Jubilee celebration of this historic event. Amidst the picturesque surround- ings, the unique customs and time= honored observances surrounding this 1amous ceremony, Miss Chris- teen Hay, May queen' for 1930, placed the royal wreath of flowers on the brow of her successor. A feature of the celebration was the attendance of many of the former May Queens, an invitation having been cxtended to all living ex-Queens to attend the jubilee ev- ent. During the afternoon a recep~ tion in their honor was held at the home of Mrs. R. A, McLellan, un- der the auspices of the Native Daughters. This year, also, there were more visiting queens than ever betore, 14 centres in the Fraser Valley being represented at the celebration by May Queens and their attendants. During the cele- bration presentation of a sealed bot- tle of Fraser River water was made by Queen Frances to Paul E. Bray and Henry Duckett, to take to Westminster in London, Eng- land, there to pour into the Thames river, Among the interested spectators at the celebration were about 20 ex- change teachers from various parts of the British Isles, many of whom will he returning to the Old Land this summer.
