HILD GUIDANCE A Bossy, Stubborn Child Needs "Praise and Responsibilities By CLEVELAND MYERS When a child has Qany good fraits on which to build, he and his Darents are indeed very for- junate. I quote from a recent letter: "Dear Dr. Myers: You have been so understanding and helpful th our children in the past that thoughts always turn toward ou when problems arise. ol daughter, eight, is the m child.

How- er, the dawdling troubles me less han other aspects which are more inherent, namely, her extreme bos ness and stubborness. "She has so many admirable qualities and is so extremely cap- able in so many ways. She adores her sister (who is a perfect child.) and can care for her in every way; she is not the least jealous of her. "With her brother, she is more often fighting than not; there is constant Svan and jealousy be- tween them. Her incessant chat- ter about anything that enters her head irritates all of us, and her excessive exuberance com- pletely exhausts me. ' PUPIL . "She is a Brownie Scout now and te interested in it.

KEEP IN TRIM Re-educate Your Food Habits In Order to Control Weight By IDA JEAN KAIN It is not difficult to lose weight. There is no guess work about diet- . Calorie arithmetic is an exact lacience. But, since overeating is mentally induced, you have to be in the proper frame of mind to put the science of nutrition into practice. And that is where psy- chology comes into the picture. No doubt you have wanted to re- duce for years, so analyze why you have failed in your diet attempts. 'ou may think' you lack will power but the will is always there--abid- in full power. It is some atti- tude of mind that weakens your will. In short, some part of your mind is convi that when it comes to a chdice of being over- weight or glving up your favorite , you really want to go on eating as usual. So this inner re- sistance puts the brakes on your efforts to stay with a diet. ALTER ATTITUDE FIRST William James said that if you alter your attitudes of mind you can alter your life. Apply that psy- chology toward reducing. Change your weight by first changing your attitude toward diet. For enlightenment, do some fact- facing. How do you honestly feel about the necessity of cutting cal- ories. If you are inclined to resent the fact that you must leave out some of your favorite high calorie foods and make some permanent changes in the way you eat, that very resistance sets up a mental tug-of-war. So when you go on a diet you are simultaneously tryin to go ahead and reduce, and hold- ing back from changing your food habits. Also, you are apt to feel a bit sorry for yourself because you cannot eat as you please and retain normal weight. Resentment and self-pity can render the will practical) werless. ED RIG VIEWPOINT Since the inner part of the mind knows instinctively your real de- sire, down to the last shade of feeling, you can readily see that when your attitude toward diet is wrong, your mind will not let you stay with' low calorie fare long enough to get results. The day you make ub your mind, and inwardly utterly believe, that normal weight will bring you far more happiness than over-eating Jossibly could Tou will no longer eel compelled to take seconds or to eat rich desserts. Your satis- faction in daily living will come from eating for normal weight since that 'will be your real desire. There it is: change your attitudes of mind and you can change your weight--and your life. A good varnish cleaner for floors and furniture can be made from the following recipe: 1 qt. hot wat- er, 1 to 2 tablespoons turpentine and 3 tablespoons lemon oil. This has to be made up fresh each time because the mixture must be used while it is hot. CHEER & CHARM! 10-20 By ANNE ADAMS Two-parts perfect!

E, DIAL 5-0444 Few Women Know How to Buy Hosiery When buying hosiery to blend with winter costumes, shoppers should select the gauge and denier as carefully as they do the shade. Otherwise, they may find them- selves wearing stockings that are either too fragile or too practical for the occasion. The hosiery buyer of a depart- ment store in a large Canadian city estimates that only one-third of her customers know what to ask for in nylon stockings. About two- thirds of the women who shop at this hosiery counter don't know that denier means the weight and gauge stands for the number of stitches in one and one half inches of stocking fabric. All day long the sales girls. re- peat over and over again to cus- tomers that the degree of sheer- ness is determined by the denier, while tightness of the stitch de- pends upon the gauge. The denier decreases as stocking threads be- come progressively finer, while the gauge increases with the ad- dition of stitches to make a tight- er, longer-wearing fabric. For example, 15 denier, 45 gauge stockings can't be expected to give the same wear as a pair /of 15 "| denier, 86 gauge. The individual threads on the former are looser and therefore more likely to be pauzht and broken on a rough sur- ace. Canadians in Korea Spend Busy Yule OTTAWA (CP)--It was a merry Christmas and a busy one for Canadians serving in Korea this year--especially for the four Red Cross girls who danced with more than 100 soldiers at the men's can- teen behind the lines. Army headquarters, Jescribing the holiday festivities of the 25t! Canadian Infantry brigade, said that after the girls finished danc- ing with the soldiers in the can- jee the visited other'men on duty e line, Besides the daneing, and religious services, soldiers found enough time to Bg on Christmas parties for four Korean orphanages and to Present a gift to each of about 50 young orphans.

I live in a smallish town of about five thousand inhabitants, and the kind of vicious gossip that goes on here is sickening. Nobody is completely safe and E. begin to wonder who the next victim may SNe lies have spread, C because of standing of innocent How can intelligent people be mesmerized into belie: and re- peating scandalous falsehoods about blameless individuals?--add- ane I think. GOSSIPPER FALLS ILL In this case the sadistic ing woman denied her y course; but she brought heart trouble uj herself and died of a heart attack--so you can see the horrible co! uences of her male- volent bias. I feel it is unfortunate that society isn't better instructed about this evil. True, some 08sip- t ossip is warranted; but a good deal of the ruinous speculation circulated in small towns today is manufactured--and nothing travels faster than slander- ous rumor. Lillian Hellman's play, "The Children's Hour," is but one example of the damage that can be done to innocent lives. Won't you please advise how to head off this sort of thing, or cure people of it? --V. 8. HOW EMOTIONS WORK Dear V. S.: You certainly have a point, in Jambnting the fact that people don't realize the destructive nature of gossip, which habitually practised, actually can kill the ossiper, indirectly. It is the mal- ce, the evil, the hatred implicit in the emotional attack on an- of |channels of consciousness, other's experience that does the the aker, by chok- d e to y ing off the potential health within himself. sere as defined in I Corinthians the -most beneficent of em- |e otlons, in its effects on mind, body and personal destiny. And in a little book titled "How to Find Health Through Prayer" (Harper and Brothers), Glenn Clark, great contemporary exponent of the res- torative power of prayer, ments as follows (page 44): "Poets from time immemorial have associated the heart with the capacity to love. jccepting that as our cue, let us look behind all the troubles of the heart to see if we can remove any inhibitions of the affections, or any limit: ations in one's capacity to love . . . I have seen seeuingly serious heart conditions righted in a mar- velous way, when the one so af- com- flicled learned how 1o love pe he male members of the Doubles one without discrimination an without limit." PROLONG YOUR LIFE He further says, "As the capa- city to love is associated with the heart, so joy, flowing through the as- sociated with the blood that flows through the arteries and veins . . . Man said to be just as old as his arteries, The chief cause of arteriosclerosis is the living of old thoughts over and over again. The best preventive and cure is the in- flow of new thoughts, especially life-bringing thoughts of love and peace and happiness." As for how to head off gossip, or cure people of it, I suppose the most effective antidote within your power is to live above it person- ally. Don't fear it, and don't be a party to it. Don't let it agitate your thinking and it can't hurt you. If your friends are maliciously talked about, don't get exercised; but, on the other hand, spike any vicious rumors offered you, by de- clgring the truth instead. As an emotional pacifier, in dealing with such ugliness, learn to be "instant in prayer." --M. H. Mary Haworth counsels through her column, not by mail or per- sonal interview.

RCAF, Army Plan Winter Operation MONTREAL (CP) -- Canada's army and air force announced plans today to stage large-scale! airborne operations this - winter across the snow-packed reaches of northeastern Quebec. In a joint announcement the army's Quebec command and the RCAF's tactical air command in Edmonton said nearly 5,000 men will take part in the training ex- ercise scheduled for late Febru- ary in the Sept Iles, Que., and Labrador areas. Called exercise Loup-Garou, the manoeuvres will pit the 1st battal- ion, Royal 22nd Regiment and other auxiliary troops against an attacking force made up of A com- pany of the 2nd battalion Royal Canadian Regiment. Five regular and two auxiliary air force squadrons drawn from Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta will carry troops into action and provide air cover for striking and defending forces. Army spokesmen said the exer- cise is not intended to test Canada's northern defences, but is part of the winter training of the armed forces. They said it will also give command staffs an opportunity to work together on joint planning of arctic air-ground strikes. TO CAMP OUT Troops will camp out in tents and will be on field rations, while aircraft will be serviced in the open. The operation will be fought over some of the roughest and most desolate terrain in Canada. The heavily-wooded country, until re- cently deserted except for the oc- casional trapper or prospector, is also the scene of the huge mining development of the Iron Ore Company of Canada, 350 miles north of Knob lake. Detachments of the Canadian Rangers, the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, the Royal Cana- dian Corps of Signals, the. Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, the Royal Canadian Engineers and the Royal Canadian rmy Medical Corps will join the 22nd regiment in the defence force, RCAF squadrons taking part are: Squadrons 435 and 436 equip- ped with flying boxcar C-119s, based at Edmonton and Dorval, Que.; transport squadrons 426 and 412 from Dorval and Rockcliffe, Ont.; No. 408 photo reconnaissance squadron and auxiliary squadrons 406 and 418 from Saskatoon and Edmonton. Directing the exercise will be Maj.-Gen. J. P. Bernatchez, offi- cer commanding Quebec arm: command. Ar Commodore S. W, Colema, ar officer commanding the tactical air command, will be the assistant director.

Mr. Albert Porter contributed a vocal solo. The hlight of the program was an hilarious fashion show with Mrs. Allan Leavitt act- as commentator, and five of modelling original creations. Mr. Harry Andrews portrayed in pantomime '"Mule Train" com- lete with mule drivers' costume. Mrs. Alfred Barrison was the ac- companist for the singing of Christmas carols, Mr. J. S. Young, minister of the church, showed an interesting colored film strip. Later in the evening the large athering repaired to 'the lower all where a delicious lunch was served at small tables attractively centered with red fapers. Santa Claus distributed Christmas gifts from a gaily decorated tree. happy evening was brought to a close by a sing-song. palmy days are over for many. These "voluneers,"" fresh from carefully staged and propagandized celebrations of farewell and con- gratulations, have had to be pushed into the remote reaches of the far- flung Soviet empire to do their part to bring order to the chaos of con- sumer economy. Generations of Russians before them brought Russian culture and Russian domination to almond-eyed Kazakhs, the gentle, swarthy Tad- jiks, the nomad Turkmens and all the scores of nationalities cemented into the Soviet The new crop of pioneers has been assigned the task of exploit- ing the natural riches of these rich lands so that the Soviet Un- ion's home front will achieve the elasticity it needs to cushion it against the possible shock of a new world conflict. PRODDED INTO ACTION Debarking into the thick mud of a provincial airport, a specialist takes a shivering look at the great vastness beyond the republic cap- ital, and decides to stay in town, hoping to be part of a sort of Resaquarters corps. But that won't 0. "It is impossible," said Tadjik- stan Communist, official party paper of that republic, "to tolerate the fact that many specialists, in- Union. stead of going to work in machine- | tractor stations and collective farms, continue to live in cities and simply pay flying visits to their work." This reflects Moscow's irritation with the slowness of the new pro- gram. It has promised a great u surge of farm production in two three years, but all depends on the Deasahis and the peasants must ave technical help. So the "volunteers" have to be Pushed.
