"Propaganda In The News" Is Subject Of Lecture Feb. 20 A program to "straighten out litâ€" tle nuisances before they get to be big problems" this week gained the support of Mr. and Mrs. Howard F. Lewis, of 3 Beech lane, Highland THURSDAY, FEBBUARY 15, 1940 to help younger children of Chicaâ€" go‘s northwest side, was outlined at a meeting of the board of directors Tuesday night in the dining hall of Association House settlement, 2150 West North avenue. At the same time Mrs. Lewis‘ acâ€" ceptance of membership on the zoard was announced. Her husband new contributorâ€"membership in the work of the House brings one new neighborhood boy or girl, or one new family into the settlement program. Thus one membership means two." The children‘s program, dedicated to "straightening out little nuiâ€" sances before they get to be big problems," was described by Edwin Eells, head resident. Lewis‘ will aid in a "double action" campaign, started this week, to douâ€" ble contributorâ€"membership in the settlement. The best time for special help in & boy‘s life is not when he is 14 and has stolen his first bicycle, Eells said. It is when he is 5 or 6 years old, and shows the first symptoms of maladjustment. Association House settlement is making use of a unique opportunity to help these youngâ€" sters, but there is a great need to expand the work. "We don‘t want to label a boy or girl delinquent," Eells explained. "That word sets him apart and, what‘s worse, sets him apart in our minds. But during the ages of 5 to 9 a boy or girl may be a nuisance." A consulting psychiatrist spends two days a week at the settlement. A program of play groups for five to nine year olds has been set up in restricted form. Leaders of these groups consult with the psychiatrist when symptoms of maladjustment appear in a child. With the double advantage of being "on the spot" to observe the boy‘s actions, and the opportunity to approach and work with the parents through House contacts, the psychiatrist can do a great deal in a minimum of time to help the youngster‘s problem. Included in the plan which he outlined to the board is an expanded play group program, headed by a director who works in collaboration with the psychiatrist. Under the present setâ€"up, which does not inâ€" clude a director, less than 100 chilâ€" dren are included. "By no means all of these nuiâ€" sances," he added. "But out of every group there are one or two whose parents more or less need guiding." With a strong nursery school proâ€" gram, and a healthy club system for older grammar school and high school boys and girls already in full swing, this 5 to 9 year old‘s proâ€" gram will fill that "neglected gap." Association House is the farthest settlement north and west. It serves a territory of approximately 100,000 people. It stands on the edge of a district of very high delinquency. Through such programs as this, Eells believes, the delinquency rate can be held down, and its spread checked. When the cleanser can seems empty, you often find that you have enough for a day‘s use if you open the top with a canâ€"opener.

Five hundred volunteer women will sell "Help Finland" buttons in the lobâ€" bies of the cooperating theaters, givâ€" ing the public an opportunity to conâ€" tribute to the relief of suffering refugees in warnâ€"torn Finland. Many of the volunteer "taggers" selling the benefit buttons will be attired in Scandinavian costumes to emphasize the cooperation of Chiâ€" cago‘s Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish groups in the big drive. Volunteters to sell the buttons, which bear the blueâ€"barred Finnish flag and the slogan "Help Finland," are being signed up this week at the Fund headquarters, 200 S. LaSalle street (Franklin 1768). _ Mrs. Joseph F. Govan and Mrs. E. R. Fifield, cochairmen of the womâ€" en‘s division in charge of the tagâ€" ging effort, have urged that all who are sympathetic with the desperate plight of gallant Finland cooperate with the button drive by volunteerâ€" ing as "taggers" or by purchasing the buttons as they are offered to theater patrons this weekâ€"end. "There will be no minimum price for these buttons," says Mrs. Gowâ€" an, "because we hope there will be many quarters and dollars along with the dimes in the contribution boxes when the fund proceeds are counted. Finland needs the money desperately, and there are thousands of Chicagoans who can spare a litâ€" tle to help a great cause." Theater managers are cooperating in every neighborhood, as well as all the loop houses, as part of the contribution of the motion picture industry to the Finnish Relief Fund, Inc. drive, Highwood Legion Host To 10th District Tomorrow Evening Highwood American Legion Post will be host to the 10th District meeting on Friday, Feb. 16, at the Labor Temple, Highland Park.
