HEALTH TALKS Growing Will Year Child Being a parent does not always mean mental maturity. If it did fewer parents today would be at "wits end" with themselves .and their children and fewer ehilaren would be growing up into "problem" adolescents and neurotic adults, the educationaVcommittee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in a Health Talk. A parent is an individual. So is the child. But many parents ar«? inclined to believe their responsibility entails tyrant supervision with frequent admonitions of "do's and don'ts" not understood by the small child. On the other hand, some parents throw any type of supervision to the winds and rear the child in coddling and abject submission. A parent accepts his true responsibility when he recognizes that to the growing child he has a special trust. The obligation goes further than in providing home, food and clothing. There must also be understanding and love, spiced with just thfc right supervision and guidance. m ... . taught1 and instilled by proper KVMTtte totttwtrlfec guidance. If you lead your child by threats of punishment or domination, you will inspire resentment, rebellion and secretive habits that will yield mbappiness for you and him in later years. You may also make him a weak, dependent individual, unable to make decisions in a competitive world. a; \ Understanding, then, is essential in growing with your child. His natural curosity can never be satisfied, for in explaining one thing to him you have brought up a new problem. Be ready for it, take the time to understand. He may not turn out just the way you bave planned, but he'll manage with the self-relianpe you've given him. In a hurry? Weaving in and out of traffic, passing on hills and curves, may save you a minute-- or loose a lifetime. ST" ,h\ tor »» » re" than he 4M or ' ' AmerXja. It 1, B»» r hl, pn„t nlI1.

While an atom bomb holds more death and destruction that man has ever before wrapped in a single package, its totdl power is definitely limited. Not even hydrogen bombs could blow the earth apart or kill us all by mysterious radiation. "Because the power of all bombs is limited, your chances of living through an atomic attack are much better than you may have thought. In the city of Hiroshima, slightly over "half the people who were a mile from the atomic explosion are still alive. At Nagasaki, almost 70 per cent of the people a mile from the bomb lived to tell their experiences. Today, thousands of survivors of these two atomic attacks live in new houses built right where their old ones once stood. The war may have changed their way of life, but they are not riddled with cancor. Their children are normal. Those who were temporarily unable to have children because of the radiation are now having child ren again.

In growing with the child, a parent should remember that discipline is necessary. „ A child can be made to .understand what things he can and cannot do, but if he gets into mischief, as & child will do, the parent should make every effort to avoid establishing fear.

Parents who rely on the threat of the "bogey man," th« policeman and the dark room to punish the child are doing a great wrong.
