er CHILD GUIDANCE Many Reading Sources Answer Child's Curiosity 'By GARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D. A few children before enter- ing school learn to read labels on food packages, signs in the store, or on the street. They keep asking what those words are and find out. Their satis- fied curiosity may spread to legends related to pictures in newspapers, magazines and books. After a child has got the hang of reading, he may choose to read all sorts of things not in his school reader. He is fortun- ate if he's stimulated to do so. When he reads in this way, he inclines to read for meaning. He does not just pronounce words. RSs While there may. be very little reading matter in culturally de- prived homes, the average home has a wide variety of reading matter. This may in- clude one or more newspapers, magazines, even a_ children's magazine. There may also be some mail - order catologues. The boy o1 girl from eight to fourteen who finds school books hard to read may eagerly read from some other sources. There's the lad, especially on the farm, apt with tools, but slow at books, who may spend hours reading a catalogue on machinery, tools or equipment. Any child who can read a little may become captivated with what he can learn here. READ SUBURBAN PAPERS In rural and town areas, even in suburbia, there's the local a a eaten cates re clita! le community paper carrying news and information of strong interest to the family, about persons and places children know. It is good when they are encouraged to read aloud portions of it to the fam- ily. It is encouraging when the family welcomes his telling in hiw. own words some news item he has read in this paper, or even from a larger metro- politan paper, Where the family has a dic- tionary, encyclopedia and other reference books, it is wonderful when the parents and children look up such matters and re- port them to the rest of the family. Indeed, he may be fore- most in choosing items to look up. I once knew a family in which the members vied with one another in learning to spell the names of certain places in the world mentioned in a news- cast. Children who can read a little often look up information re. ferred to in the newspaper or on radio or TV. Before long they like to read jokes and riddles so they can tell or propose them in the family. Crossword puz- zles, if not too difficult, may appeal to the child. When he solves he reads for meaning and improves his skill at reading and spelling. In almost any home may be found materials not in regular books useful in helping the child learn to read and to read better. To appease your family's big, hearty, winter appetites, next time you make a stew, make it Hungarian Goulash, Goulash was created by shep- herds who roamed the hills Clean Up Yor Records For Musical Listening - By ELEANOR ROSS If listening to music is one of the pleasures that make your world go round, don't overlook the importance of record care. Don't let a fine, expensive col- lection deteriorate prematurely. Absolute cleanliness is a rule that experts insist upon for both the discs and their sur- roundings. Always wash hands with soap and water before handling re- cords. Always hold records at the edge--or at the edge and center--so that fingers won't leave a greasy deposit that at- tracts dust. Store records in albums, in closed paper jackets, or wash- able plastic jackets. Revolving records are loaded with static electricity. This, in pars attracts dust and grit which can cause scratches, af- fecting their playback. EMBEDDED DIRT Wipe off light dust with a damp chamois. To remove dirt embedded in the grooves, wring a cloth out in thick suds and use it to wipe both sides of the record. Work with a light cir- cular motion which follows the direction of the grooves. Then rinse with a damp chamois. duces dust, attraction while the music is going round and round. WASH SHELVES Wash storage shelves or cabi- nets often with a sponge or cloth squeezed out in warm suds, followed by rinse-wiping with a clean damp cloth. Replace records only after the shelves are thoroughly dry --because moisture speeds the damaging action of chemical constituents in any dust which may settle on the surface of re- cords. To avoid warping, store re- cords vertically, well supported, and in a dry place away from artificial heat or direct sun- light--these are fatal for re- cords. And remember that even a wrinkled plastic jacket may cause a harmful surface im- print on the disc. To get the music out of the speaker that went into the plat- ter, you must haye an unblem- ished record.

"I simply have to do some- thing,' she writes, . "because I'm restless so much of the time--even though I know I should be happy since I'm living in a new dream house that re- quires little time or upkeep. "But after years of thinking this is what I wanted I'm just about going out of my mind be- cause there's so little to do. "Consequently, I've come to the conclusion that this is the time to start a business in my home. I've had an idea for one for years."' In the rest of her letter, the reader goes on to describe her idea for a_business-at-home-- creating custom-made millinery at prices people can afford to ay. "I think I can do this, too," she writes, "'because I've made my own hats for years. But now I'm wondering if I can make a 'go' of it in a new com- munity where I don't know any- By BRENDA LARGE OTTAWA (CP) -- Mrs. Erik Nielsen, wife of the Conserva- tive MP who sparked the cur- rent Dorion inquiry, says wives of politicians are called upon to play too important a role in their husbands' careers. "Of course I'm always eager to help my husband in any way I can, but I think there is en- tirely too much emphasis placed on the wives of political candidates. "The limelight should be on the men themselves, not their relatives, or even their party affiliations."' The slender, 38-year-old red- jhead says her husband's consti- tuency of the Yukon is "a Niel- jsen riding--not a Conservative |riding,"' and that's the way it should be. Mrs. Nielsen is a rather quiet- spoken Englishwoman who met and married Erik Nielsen in 1945 when he was in England with the RCAF. "I was just 18 and had worked for only a few months at a local post office. I met Erik at a dance. He was a gay young officer, quite different from the serious lawyer he is |today." She could hardly have im- agined then that 20 years later her husband would be a lead- ing figure in a parliamentary drama which resulted in a jud- icial inquiry into charges that a Montreal lawyer had been of- fered a bribe to agree to bail for a suspected dope-smuggler. SETTLED IN HALIFAX A native of Louth, Lincoln- shire, she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hall. Named Jane, she was soon "This is P. J. Nielsen speak- In 1946 the Nielsens settled in Halifax for a time while Mr. Nielsen obtained his law de- gree from Dalhousie University. "Canada was the land of plenty to me when I arrived. I gained about 10 pounds in the first few months I was here." She says she enjoyed living in Halifax because it was close to the sea. When they moved tc. Whitehorse in 1952 she was Too Much Emphasis on Wives Declares Mrs. Erik Nielson law practice. And there too, the Nielsens built a comfortable home which turned out to be ideal for political gatherings after Erik Nielsen was elected to Parliament in 1957 "Now I think of myself as a Canadian, with Whitehorse as my home. I miss my friends there very much." LIVE IN APARTMENT Since Mrs. Nielsen joined her husband in Ottawa in 1963, they have lived in a two-bedroom apartment located on the edge of fashionable Rockcliffe Park. It's in the Champlain Towers, a big modern apartment build- ing which has an indoor swim- ming pool. "The children just love it, and I often swim there A central feature of the Niel- sen living room in Ottawa is a large stereo set painted soft yellow. "T'm an avid reader and like to play all kinds of music on the record player while I read." She favors biographies, "espe- cially of political figures." In Ottawa Mrs. Nielsen wears the same casual but well-de- signed clothes as in Whitehorse. When interviewed she was wearing a soft white wool Sweater and tweed skirt with gold jewelry. a a ssp tua Dg ae pee | ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: I work in a medical office and I love my job. The problem is the doctor's wife. I'm fed up with her med- dling and interference. She used to have the job I now have and gaged she can't quite give it up Every day she "drops in" to check the mail, look at the ap- pointment book and get in the i|way. Friday she told me when to change the typewriter rib- bon, when to go to the bank and when to water the plants in the reception room. Yesterday she announced that she'd relieve me when I went to lunch. When I returned she had rearranged my desk. I al- most typed my letter of resig- nation right then, but decided to write you first.

Tell the doc- tor you are leaving and tell him why, If he has the courage to in- struct his wife to stay out of the office he will ask you to jone | and where no one knows me.' My advice to this woman--or to any one with a similar idea for an at-home business--would be to feel her way and research the idea thoroughly before hop- ing to.make a "go" of an at- home business. CAN BE A FAILURE This is extremely important. Regardless of how good your idea is, if too many factors are against you instead of for you, you'd be much wiser to try something else. To use a home millinery busi- ness as an example of how to research an idea, the first thing you need to do is make sure that you have genuine talent and professional skill for this project, since making hats for yourself and making them for a fee can be the difference be- tween profit and loss. Once you have that assurance that you have the necessary skill -- generally determined after a course in the subject or working experience in a shop-- study the area in which you live to be sure you have a market. Then go to the local library and read books and magazine articles on the subject for fur- ther ideas and information. Also get advice from experienced, responsible people who can tell you how to set up your business. After that, visit hotels and shops in your area to see if any of them will display your hats and your business cards. Then, when you get enough encouragement to start a busi- ness, advertise locally and make a definite effort to present interesting hat shows at lunch- eons and community affairs. Also, offer your hats as ac- cessories for other fashion shows in town. Finally, send out cards an- nouncing your business to women in your area and invite them to an "Open House" tea as a "'Hats Off!" salute to your project. If you do these things--and keep persevering--you should make a "go of your at-home business. Wife's Interference Annoys Secretary stay and that will be that. If he says, "I'll give you fine teferences" say, 'Thank you" '--and make way for numero quatro. Dear Ann Landers: This let- ter is being written by three Marine lieutenants stationed on Okinawa. Ever since we came to this fascinating island we have been impressed by the hard-working women of the Far East. They toil in the fields 12 to 15 hours a day--often until they are 80 years of age. These women are pleasant and uncomplaining. They do not demand equal .rights, recogni- tion, or any such nonsense. They accept the fact that they were put on earth to work, and cater to the whims and wishes of men. The pampered, parasitical American female would do well to take a lesson from her sister of the Far East.--A Trio of Leathernecks. Dear Trio: Now that's what I call first-rate husband mater- ial!

The problem is my wife's parents. I don't want to call them liars, so I will call them exaggerators. Shortly after we were mar- ried my wife said to me, "Why did you tell my cousin your father was a tailor? My mother told her he was a manufac- facturer." A few weeks later, my mother-in-law had this to say: "When we go to Bertha's house tonight, remember that you have a master's degree." My father-in-law. added, "And don't forget--you are a certified public accountant." (I have no master's degree and I'm not a certified public accountant. I'm a bookkeeper.)
