T* h? %V&i\u Cli MIC Although little Bill is only 3, notice his superb use of the "Compliment Club" strategy. And His 7-year-old cousin Heather is also trying to be­ come a full-fledged member by paying an honest compli­ ment to 3 different people each day, for 30 consecutive days. Try this in your home, school or Sunday Scholl class. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. . CASE L- 519: Wilton Hall, ID, aged 3, is the precocious son of the head of Droke House Publishers at Anderson, South Carolina. They call him "Bill" andre- cently took him to Atlanta to at­ tend the christening of a child at a leading Catholic church. As they walked out, following the ceremony, Bill shook hands with the priest. "It's a nice place you have here," little Bill graciously complimented the priest, who gravely thanked him. Later, when Bill was back at Anderson, South Carolina, they all visited a hamburger shop for a bite to eat. His tactful mother then gave little Bill the money to pay their check. 4> "Thank you young man," said the owner as he handed Bill the change, "we hope you en­ joyed your meal and will come back again." To which little Bill replied: "You must come and eat with us sometime, too!" Take special note that little Bill is only 3 years of^age! Yet he is socially oriented far better than many boys and girls even in high school. For how many teen-agers would pay the clergyman a com­ pliment as they shook his hand at the door? Little Bill has a cousin named Heather Ruth Hayes, whose dad- Open 7 days a week 11:00 a.m. to closing Here Are Specials Charcoal B/oiJed Steaks ll 385-9700 Tacos Welcome Families Wally & Dora Visit our Newly Remodeled Dining R YOUR 1406 N. RIVERSIDE ?1Z McHfNRY dy Is a professor in Texas. Heather is only 7 years old, but she has also been taught by her mother, Sarah, to look for nice things in the people she meets so she can then pay them honest compliments thereon. Recently I talked to Heather on the long distance telephone and commended her for join­ ing my "Compliment Club." - I urged her to finish that 30-day experiment in Social Psychology, for (hen I'd sign her formal diploma and mail it to her. To be a full-fledged member, with a diploma, you are to pay 13 sincere bits of praise each day for 30 consecutive days. And each of those 3 daily com­ pliments must go to a different person - you don't offer all three to the same individual. This "Compliment Club" ex­ periment I originated as a classroom project among my psychology students at North­ western university. At the end of the 30 days, they were also to write a theme in which they outlined the var­ ious responses people made when given a bit of praise. And they were also to des­ cribe the changed outlook which they had found in themselves after this 30-day venture into extroversion. So I gave them official col­ lege credit in the psychology course. Many years afterwards, these same men and women would re­ port back to me concerning the tremendous value this pro­ ject had been to them. For the "Compliment Club" strategy can become a habit after those 30 days. And it can prove to be the "OpenSesame" to popularity, happy homes, higher salaries and better par­ ent-child relations. For delinquent children often report that their parents never praised them but always bawled them out for some fault or er­ ror. So send for the "Compliment Club" booklet, enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents, and get your entire family launched upon this easy road to happiness. Many school teachers and Sunday School classes launch this project as a form of group therapy in banishing shyness and selfishness. It is also superb therapy for rning a "Worry Warfs" attention off his "innards" and .making him a healthy, dynamic personality! (Always write to Dr. £rane in How Can I? By Anne Ashley gilt Q. How can I clean a picture or mirror frame? A. One very good washing solution consists of water in which onions have been boiled. Q. How can I prevent hard candies from sticking together in a jar or box? A. Try sprinkling them with some granulated sugar. Q. How can I prepare a good fluffy omelet? A. Mix the omelet In the usual way, then instead of cooking it in a pan, cook in a double boiler. It will come out fluffy and moist.

How can I remove spots from a pair of white kid gloves? A. Try moistening a cloth with some cuticle remover, then rubbing over the spots with this. Q. What can I do about plas­ tic curtains that have become badly wrinkled after washing and drying? A. Lay the curtains on a smooth surface, such as a table or the floor, and cover them with magazines. Leave them this way overnight or a little longer, and they will usually look as though they had been ironed -- which is an advan­ tage, since plastic cannot be ironed. Q. How can I protect the backs of mirrors from scratch­ es? A. By coating these backs with clear shellac. Q. What is a good, econom­ ical way of waxing a linoleum floor? A. Save your old wax candle stubs, and when you have ac­ cumulated a sufficient number of these, shave them into some very hot, sudsy water.

Here's one of 40 reasons why the electric dryer is a better buy. ~ 0 Electric dryers are priced up to $40 less than compar­ able gas models. And, a $40 savings can represent about three years of drying expense free, for an average fam­ ily of four. But economy is only part of the electric dryer story. Electric dryers dry your clothes the same way as the sun... with radiant heat. Your wash will always be sunshine-fresh and wrinkle-free, day or night, in any season. Saving $40 and a lot of trips to the clothesline with a wet basket of clothes are good reasons to put a little more sunshine in your life-the new, radiant- heat electric dryer.

A. By carefully rubbing the leather with a little pure lan­ olin oil or castor oil every few years. Use a clean cloth or your fingers, taking care to work the oil in jast a little at a time. No excess oil should be left on the leather. On light- colored leathers, use white pe­ troleum jelly or a special leath­ er cream, since other oils tend to darken the leather. Q. How can I concoct a sour cream substitute? A. By beating a tablespoon of-vinegar with a cup of evap­ orated milk. Q.

Ml Beer Night JjlI i It's the smart mother who gets behind the September Better Breakfast Month drive. Skimping on breakfast is a health hazard Iti many children and teens. A nutrition study revealed that those who dash off to school without an adequate morning meal do not make up their nutritional needs later in the day. Breakfast should supply a quarter of the day's essential nu­ trients. An acceptable breakfast to nutritionists may consist of Iruit, cereal with milk, buttered toast and a glass of milk. There is always leeway for variety with this basic pattern. How about a hot bread, occasionally, such as English Oat Scones? They've been modernized with biscuit mix and uncooked oatmeal.
