Dear G.o.. .uasmuch as paran- oia is a form of emotional illness in which the patient is anxiously suspicious, without cause, and in- clined to be particularly antagon- istic towards intimates, you have a difficult assignment. I don't know what suggestions your family physician has given, for getting along with Henry's tensions. But I have heard psych- iatric specialists say that it seems wise, in dealing with paranoiac persons, to keep one's own be- havior sensible. In other words, the specialists mean that usually it doesn't help to chart your course according to the patient's ideas. If you act defensively, always jumping at the patient's bark, trying to disprove false suspicions, ordinarily it just adds to mutual confusion and cross purposes. For example, let's suppose that Henry objects to your going to the grocery store because he mistaken- ly imagines that you are flirting with a salesman there. It is pos- sible that you might decide to do your marketing by telephone, with Henry at your elbow to hear all you say, in hopes of putting his mind at ease. Would this be sen- sible pelicy?, Probably not, because very likely Henry would soon start imagining that you were talking in a code language to the party at the other end or that when the phone rang during the day, it was "that salesman' trying to get in a private word with you. CARE IS INDICATED The more reasonable course would be simply to remind that the family has to eat and groceries must be stocked. And if he doesn't tryst you to go to the store, he may go himself; or choose another market and accompany you on the shopping expedition. This is being rational, cooperative and steady. It is asking him to share in whole- some family activity. It keeps his English Family Uses Artistic Talents To Advantage CALGARY (CP)--A family from Britain is working here and adding an artistic touch to normal west- ern production, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ottewill, among other articles, turn out hand-painted western Shirts of striking and beautiful design and coloring. One of these shirts was worn by Calgary's 'Miss Stam- peder," . Pat Dinnigan, at the beauty contest in connection with the Grey Cup final at Toronto last November, * The Ottewills have added sev- eral lines to their productions. Mrs. Ottewill makes shimmering stoles, on which her husband paints delicate and detailed designs. They say the largest demand is for 'signature ties," on which the signature of the purchaser is re-| produced with a mirror-image to Hake & curious, symmetricl de- gn. BUSY FAMILY Mr. Ofttewill is employed as a mechanic during the day, and does his painting in the evening. His wife, who was a singer in Britain, works alongside him on a battered sewing machine. The whole family is talented. Janice, at 14 the oldest of three girls, is following the same artis- tic medium as her father.

Mrs. Alan Dearborn was elected to be acting-secretary for the eve- ning. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted.

The remaining money would be put into a common fund for future needs. The 15 prizes were to be left for bingo as before, and of the same value, also euchre and other prizes. As usual, the prize was to be given to the park with the most in attendance. A discussion followed as to giving the social a name. Several were suggested and ¢ was finally decid- ed and moved by Mrs. Frank Brit- ton, Valleyview, snd seconded by Mrs. Edward Hubbell, Connaught, that the: name should be 'Ladies Social. Club of all Parks". It was moved by Mrs. Roy Wellman, Co- naught, that Mrs. Harold Tubb be appointed secretary-treasurer. An interesting meeting was held but it would have been better if more park representatives had been present and able to vote on the motions. The next meeting will be held on February 10, in the Meeting was closed by Mrs. Ennis Hanna, Rundle Park, at 10 p.m. ELITE GROUP The regular meeting of the Elite Group was held at Simcoe Hall with Mrs, Frank Stirtevant presid- ing.

CLEVELAND MYERS | "The Birthright of Babyhood" is | a book written in 1940 by the late Clarence W. Sumner. It gives an | account of the unusual develop- ment of a service to parents and | young children at the Youngstown, | Ohio, Public Library, of which Mr. Sumner was chief librarian for many years--the Mothers' Room, | faunded there several years earlier by Mr. Sumner, the first of its kind in the world. | In 1919 he had developed a plan | for extending the services of a public library to hospitals, working out a library technique which has spread world-wide. So also has the pattern and idea of the Mothers' Room spread widely. Though only a few public libraries yet have separate rooms for preschool child- ren -and their parents, many have a special corner or section for this purpose, and all good children's libraries are providng books for the parents to read to the baby and young child. RECENT PRACTICE Many of you now reading this have gone to a public library with your tots when they were barely beginning to talk, to borrow books from which to read to these little children. It may not have occurred to you that this has been a pract- ice of rather recent years. And although we learn from the biographies of many great men and women of the world that they were read to in babyhood, this practice did not spread widely to the average home before the last few decades. Indeed, thirty years ago nearly all the teachings and writings of educators on children stories were on telling stories, not relatively {mothers and fathers and their "Bandwagon," with his old few persons could tell stories well, THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, January 14, 1958 4 few childrem heard | them.
