THE SUBURBAN MOVE "Dear Editor: "I am writing this in an attempt to explode the myth that we hear from time to time that the white people moved to the suburbs to escape living among the colored race. "The real reason that they moved was this - contractors bought acreage even as now, built homes on large lots and offered them to the public with a small down payment and a large mortgage for. twenty-five or thirty years.

Elm St., McHenry Phone 385-7500 Thelma raises a dandy question that needs to be answered publicly. For many well meaning folks try to chain youngsters to a very literal outlook on life. This tends to stunt their vivid imagination and probably reduce their sense of humor in later life. So stretch your imagination by the method below. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE F-550: Thelma R., aged 24, teaches kindergarten. "Dr. Crane," she began, " our school principal is a stickler for Exactness. 1 "So she thinks it is wrong for children to read fairy tales or stories about elves. "Instead, she wants us teachers in the early grades to stick to factual narratives. "But I find that kiddies are fascinated by fairy tales. Are portation costs, taxes for improvements that took place years ago in the big cities and they also hoped to bring up their children in a less crowded existence. "I can assure you that is why there are so many women working to keep a roof over their heads and struggle to keep their heads above water to pay the price that was not thought of at the time ofpurchase and do not want to lose their hard earned investment. "I repeat, there was no one of any color that led them to the suburbs. I hope that this letter will help to eliminate that which is not true and is only used by rabble rousers for private gain.

For their parents and teachers tower above them in gigantic fashion and outweigh them terrifically. We adults have forgotten this outlook of the kiddies. But we can easily regain their viewpoint if we merely stretch our imaginations a little. For example, suppose we alone remain at our present a - dult height while all the other people around us are 12 feet tall and weigh 800 pounds. . That's precisely \he relative outlook of a toddler when he sees his daddy. And even his mother is figuratively a giantess, standing maybe 11% feet tall, if we adults use comparable figures. Thus, children have no difficulty in believing stories concerning giants, for they live for years as tiny folks (elves) in a literal giant world. Moreover, we adult "giants" are not only omnipotent in their sight, but omniscient, too. For their limited mental age does not permit them to make the simple, logical deductions that are a-b-c stuff to parents. When our son Phillip, was about 18 months old, he would relish a game in which he'd stick his head under a pillow on the davenport. "Where is Philip?" his mother and I would exclaim loudly.

But Phi lip apparently figures, ««I can't see them so they carft see me!" And don't think Philip wasn't a bright youngster, for his I.Q. was in the genius category and he now holds a Ph. D.f and has long been a university professor! But kiddies cannot comprehend things when their mental age is 3 or 4, which we adults can easily understand. For example a little boy, aged 4, was left along for a few moments while his mother went next door to borrow a cup of sugar. Meanwhile, he tipped over the goldfish bowl and broke it. As he was vainly trying to recover the flopping fish from under the davenport, he heard his mother's step on the back porch.. So he rushed into his play? room to build castles with wood* en blocks. "Junior, did you break thfi) fish bowl?" irritably demanded his' mother. (Suppose an irate giantess 11V2 feet tall asked us adults that question?) Junior shook his head, but his mother paddled him, anyway. " How did you know I did it," he queried through his tears, "for you didn't see me?" "A little bird tells mother such things," she fibbed and he soon was "gunning " for that little bird with his toy bow and arrows!

From Loretta Planer, Bushnell, Fla.s I remember plenty far back when our only way of receiving the "necessities" of life was by means of the sternwheel steamboats that ran from St. Paul, Minn., and then on down to New Orleans. When it was harvest time, great sacks of wheat piled high on the river banks and the singing dock hands carried them up the gang plank to load the boats. In fruit season, apples were packed in barrels and shipped the merchants On the St. Louis waterfront. It was a thrill to ride on the big boats. Young people would ride for a couple of miles to the next landing, then walk home. When fall came and it appeared the ice would soon halt the steamers for the winter months, the country people for miles around ordered enough sugar and flour, coffee and beans and such things to carry them over a cold winter until that wonderful first boat trip the following spring. The small grocery stores would lay in an extra supply, too, just in case someone didn't judge their needs accurately. Those were the days when friendships were real and people felt they needed one another. (Send contrfcutions to Ihii column to Old , Timer, BOH 639, Frankfort, Kentucky 4060.)
