They are Rose Marie and Donald Frank the daughter and son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Diskey, Poplar street.

"He has a special talent for drawing and has had work ex- hibited in school art shows. He is also interested in outdoor sports and athleiics. His read- ing problem will undoubtedly keep him from ever graduating from high school. In my opinion dhe cannot read better than a third or fourth grader. "He talks intelligently and ap- pears to be a bright boy in every other way. I would like to be of help to him and am wondering if you have any fur- ther suggestions to give. Thank you for your wonderful articles. I am a primary teacher and often refer suggestions you have to offer to parents with problems."

It doesn't appear too late to save that boy. However, as a relative you may be limited in what you can persuade his par- ents to do for him. At any reasonable sacrifice to boy can be provided with the help of a quiet, pleasant ele- mentary teacher, preferably a man, to work for a short period daily with this boy to help him bring up his arrears in reading and spelling. ;|. As you can see, this helping person should start with the lad where he is now in these sub- jects, having him practice on materials no harder and should bring him forward with suc- cess. reading far easier materials than those of his freshman course. A big problem, of course, is to. win his co-opera- tion and inspire him with hope. Even all of you concerned about this boy need to be pa- tient and not expect great gains suddenly. ' Do keep in mind the huge task ahead of him and be cheered by his reasonable pro- gress. In all this program help this boy save face. Protect him from feeling ashamed of his lag. Be sure no younger child is present when he is being helped. If the suggested help is given wisely he should soon discover that he can succeed. If dis- couragements are met in his program a reading specialist or a reading clinic might well be enlisetd to help. You and his parents should be happy over this boy's. excell- ence in art and success in out- door sports. On these assets you might be able to build up his learning morale. Many a child like this boy is too valuable in promise to go on into school a failure for the want of adequate help. PARENTS' QUESTIONS Q.

In addition to walking or swimming--two of the best and '}most common body condition- ers--a certain amount of exer- cise on a machine is excellent. For one thing, we can make use of such a device when we can't get in much walking or a swim. And such mechanical exer- cise aids need not be expensive. You'll find some of them in the notions department of your fa- vorite store. As our readers know by now, we are a notions department fan these days, for it seems that this store depart- ment includes just about every- thing and at a decent price tag. Among the many items com- ing into the notions department are the increasingly popular ex- A Creative Hobby Is Good Antidote To A Dull Job By ROBERTA ROESCH If you're a nobody in' your job be a somebody in your hobby! This is one solution whenever you're stuck in a post which you have to hang on to for a while, regardless of your distaste. It's also a principle that works for several people we know. One girl, for instance, is mis- erable in a job that she has to keep for the next year or 60 because it is helping to pay the debts she and her husband owe. "I feel like a nobody,"' she admits. 'No one knows I'm around. ; : "My hobby, however makes up for this feeling and brings me my real reward," she went on. "And, frankly, I purposely made it this way when I found out what my job was like and discovered how insignificant I felt when people who did really interesting. things asked me about my work. That's when I decided to discuss my avoca- tion instead of my vocation." BECOMING EXPERT Her hobby, the woman ex- plained to us, is furniture, And the is becoming such an expert at decorating with it that everyone talks about her home and the wonderful rooms she creates. "I'm quick to admit their interest gives me the signifi- cance my job doesn't, . she says. "And, besides, my hobby makes me wonderfully happy while I work at it." . For tots of men and women " who are nobody on the job, a hobby can be the answer to be- ing somebody somewhere else. But to make your hobby' suc- ceed, you must work at it. To begin with, you must be- come something of an authority or expert in the field you pick. There's not much to be gained by simply dabbling. You must put a lot of time and energy into your interest. So sit tight and ride hard the particular hobby you choose. (These sug- gestions, of course, are offered to who take up a hobby not as an outlet for relaxation, but as an absorbing alternative KEEP IN TRIM By IDA JEAN KAIN The nagging worry in a wom- an's mind is that reducing will cause her to look years older. A: career woman wrote: "If you can help me to lose 20 pounds and avoid the 'diet look' and scraggly throatline, I am yours to command." Fair enough. Nature has her own beauty rate of weight loss and her own methods. I have noted that overweight indivi- duals who take daily medica- tion to depress their appeities, or reducing pills, and continue the practice, tend to lose their glowing good looks. You cannot try reducing shenanigans, or at- tempt shortcuts to weight loss without showing it. To slim down and restore the bloom, take your time. You can work with nature--beautifully. Skin contraction plays the beauty role in any slimming program. When you reduce gra- dually, a half to. one pound a week, and exercise to prevent flabbiness, skin contraction can keep pace with the loss in fatty tissue. of doing things. You should put some flair into your projects, too, because in hobbies, if not in jobs, you can he the boss yourself and create things the way you want them. Finally, you should do some- thing about your hobby a little bit every day and make it an integral part of your total per- sonality. In either a hobby or job, you will gradually . arrive at what you are, 10t by great big splashes of activity but by the daily plugging that ends up being a habit. Reduce Without. A Wrinkle Exercise To Restore Bloom prove your nutritional status daily fare the replenishing materials even with calories cut. Do not regard this as a diet, but as a protec- tive pattern of eating to keep you in a state of excellent nu- trition. AVOID OVERLOADING To build leanness, avoid over- loading at any one meal, such as dinner. Nature handles food more effectively in small, di- vided loads. When you overeat at one meal, fat is built up as a by-product. Keep your calories around 1200 a day, and your meals high in protein and all the protective foods. not the "keeping young" calor. ies. Add an extra dimension to your exercise by applying isometric contraction. . . to increase the overload on the muscles. Here is a bracing chin exercise: Rest chin on hand, keeping chin level. Resist strongly with your hand and push strongly with your chin. Hold this tug- of-muscle for a slow count of six. Repeat three times. Summed up: To reduce and look younger, don't over-diet or under-exercise. Don't think any old thoughts. Do not try for ultra streamlines. Resolve to slim down, tone up and restore the bloom.

As we said, they are invaluable as supple- ments to proper exercise and diet control. INEXPENSIVE NUMBER One of the lowest priced is a three-way bike that sells under 10 dollars. This all-chrome mo- del tones and trims the body in a healthful manner. We tried one out after a bout of housework, and it actually refreshed us--so news of such a bike has a place in a how-to- do household column.

This one goes for less than $13. It is sturdily built and carries a guarantee against all defects. Another bike is the poni- cycle, an exercise aid that works on body weight leverage. This is quite a model, and it sells at around $35. We come to the electric bi- cycle, until now a very expen- sive exercise aid that really does a superlative job of muscle toning and body condi- tioning, not to mention slim- ming. On the market at present is one such model that sells for less than $140, So let's get away from the bikes and on to the belts. Avail- able at notion counters is the belt massager. Various models sell from around $30 to $70. For those who want to take things easy in their efforts to keep healthy, there is the slant board.
