HOCKEY PLAYERS at Queen of the Angels School in Ottawa get some pointers from their coach, Sister St. ia (from having his ancelian CHILD. GUIDANCE By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD. Perhaps before the age of five or six, a child has really learned more than he will learn during the rest of his life. He has learned to walk and talk. He has gradually gained experi-| his ences through. seeing, handling and mo' himself about, and through all sorts of perimenting. Besides, he has learned much an swered. His curiosity is then. His imagination is p ably more fertile than it ever will be in his later life. He con- |°F stantly creates with things and words and ideas. He employs practically all the patterns thinking and reasoning he will ever use. His parents can be most pow- erful in helping him develop mentally in these directions. START EARLY 4 Therefore, begin with your baby as soon as he begins re- sponding to you and to the many things and creates all about him, to stimulate his urge to learn. Within the limits cf © \safety, help him to see, hear, itouch and handle as man new things as reasonably possible. Lift him up to see: what arouses his interest. Then and "\later let him touch and handle Barbara Ann of the congre- gation of Notre Dame. The sister, who is also principal of the school, picks up many Unusual Practice Uniform Marks Unusual, By BRENDA LARGE OTTAWA (CP) Hockey practice was in full swing on the open-air rink. As the team milled over the ice the coach shouted: "Skate right in on the goal, you fellows. Don't stop now. The coach, a six-footer with a clear voice that carried eas- ily through the five-below-zero air, wore an unusual practice uniform. It was a covered by a thick black sweater and topped with a white pointed headdress and bib. On a thick chain hung a rosary that swung to and fro as the coach moved along the ice, sliding on shiny black Watching her: young charges intently was Sister St. Barbara Ann of the Congregation of Notre Dame, principal of Queep, of the Angels School and also its baseball, touch football and hockey coach. "I wouldn't do it if we had a man on the staff," said the stately nun during a break in play. "But I have to admit I enjoy it." She turned back to her team. long black robe! jsunlit Good Coach Although the rosy-cheeked sis- ter was not wearing skates, she moved easily across the rink, watching the play with an an- xious eye. "Keep that stick down, Tommy. Watch the puck. Don't overskate it." Finally someone scored a goal and play was stopped for lunch. HELPS GRADES A few minutes later, in her office overlooking the rink, she explained that as principal of the school she feels it's important for the boys to have some activities "to keep them out of mischief." "The games do not interfere with the school work. I was warned by other teachers that this would happen. If anything, it helps 'the boys get good grades, as a happy medium of work and play is achieved." Sister St. Barbara Ann, an Ottawa native who has been a teacher for the last 11 years, began her hockey coaching ca- reer five years ago when she became principal of the sub- urban Ottawa school. Before that she'd taught at pointers on the sport by watching National Hockey League games on television. --(CP Photo) Notre Dame High School in Toronto and St. Patrick's High School here. "T'm fond of teaching, and I guess that carries over into my coaching." Besides being principal of the 200-pupil elementary school, she also teaches several subjects including her favorite, mathe- matics. But now that hockey season is on, she usually manages to squeeze. in several practices a week. The boys she coaches range in age from 10 to 14 and, generally, they take her word as law on or off the ice. "Sometimes one of the boys will suggest a play, and I'm always ready to try it out." Her coaching skills are ac- quired by constant watching of National Hockey League games on television. "I try not to miss any."

Go walking with him to widen what he may see, hear, touch, handle or experience with the help of his hands, feet and other parts of his body.

Provide him in- doors with simple playthings with which he can have all sorts of experiences and learn many skills. Get him as soon as he can toddle, and more often thereafter, with one or more children of his age. As soon as he chooses to look at pictures in a book, answer his questions about them. Talk to him about these and enjoy his talking. When he looks at a picture for a few moments at a stretch, talk to him about it from the book. Read to him. Then keep on reading to him several times a day till long after he has entered school.

The sister has always loved sports, and as a girl was spe- cially fond of skiing. She has had to give that up, but still skates with a group of other members of her order after school hours. From behind her desk, which is topped by a flourishing Afri- can violet plant, she pointed|" proudly to the gold cup "her boys" won for inter - school itouch football last fall.

By ELEANOR ROSS The canny way to go shop- ping for a new range is with a check-list in hand. Otherwise it is easy to be dazzled by all glass and chrome in the showroom--and forget some of the features of the stove that will make a big day-to-day difference in your home and your way of doing things. ADDED CONSIDERATION Eye-appeal and price are cer- tainly major considerations. But in addition--will- the range be easy to keep clean? Will it fit properly into the *\space alloted for it? Will the burners be at the right level for your height? Do your cooking habits really call for two ovens? Will the de luxe extras you pay for speed meal preparation, promote safety of operation, and lighten the clean - up chores?

Once you have decided on the type of range you want, start checking features. Ask yourself if the oven is éasy to clean. Styles in lining materials change with design trends--light gray porcelain en- amel, for instance, is more popular than the dark tones of a few years ago. Some models have a shiny meta! interior, using nickel chrome plating, which reflects the heat as well as the light. Some models feature a pull- out even lining which can be New Stove Suggestions Please The Range Finder scrubbed with hot suds right at the sink. But regardless of color or material, the lining should be smooth and have rounded corners that can be "got at' with a minimum ot trouble. Are the oven racks sturdy and rust-resistant? The metal ribbons or rods should be close enough together to prevent uten- sils from tipping. For safety and convenience, each rack should have a "'stop" to allow it to remain level and rigid when pulled part-way out. Are there one or more drip trays under the surface cooking units? Trays should be easy to pull out for cleaning, easy to replace--so try them at the showroom: to be sure, Trays should be adequate in size to catch spillovers that get by in- dividual burner bowls. ROOM TO HANDLE Is the oven door handle com- fortable to grip, without burn- ing your knuckles against a hot surface? And does it allow room for a sudsy cloth or sponge to get at the underside to remove greasy finger marks?

Bob was so furious he pulled out of the parking lot like a maniac and careened down the street at a dangerously high rate of speed. He kept saying "T have to get this out of my stem."
