Child Experts Warn On Freckles, Fat And Other “Unimportant” Handicaps Freckles, fat or a missing tooth máy -be jüst as painful and as psychologically harmful to the child who has them as a more serious handicap. There are certain symptoms which may help you find out how much anxiety your child feels about these defects, according to Toni Taylor. Writing .about the problem in McCall’s for January, in collaboration with Nina Ridenour, Ph.D., of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene, New York City, she poinÄ out the importance of the parents’ attitude and suggest practical steps for you to take: “Physical impairment, if it is allowed to injure a child’s self-esteem, may lead to much deeper psychological disfigurement. As a result their minor -handicaps often lead to major, problems and anxiety. No child likes’ to feel different. If freckles, fat, a missing tooth, bright red hair or glasses keep your child from doing what -other children do, or make him the butt of their jokes, he is going to suffer. Can Politicians Run Insurance? (Continued from page 10) tion with the life insurance business realizes that, and I am quite certain they are willing to go out and do their share and sell to the American people. If we all put our shoulder to the wheel we can convince the American people that the security they want, the security they are entitled to and they are going to get, can best be provided through the system of free enterprise, and it will give them that security they want five, ten, or twenty years from now. The security will be there, because it has been provided by people who have proven down through the years that they know how to pi-ovide it. ' “To ignore or minimize his problem, to try to ‘kid’ him out of his self-consciousness or to join in the ridicule yourself ?— these are the surest ways on .earth to turn a superficial difficulty into a real hazard. “The fact that a child never admits unhappiness over a superficial defect or even seems to enjoy jokes at his own expense, may in itself be a dangerous sign. He may be hidingnatural resentments and pushing his feelings so far under the surface of consciousness that they can only fester and erupt in more serious form later on. “There are certain guides that will tell your child is troubled. Temper , tantrums, nausea, nightmares, excessive bedwetting, fingernail biting' are often evidences of some kind of fright. “His resentment springs from the odd position these oddities put him in with other people. It’s tremendously important therefore that he should not feel in a strange position with you too. You can give him confidence by discussing his problem frankly with him — by letting him know that you take him seriously and want to help him. “There are practical steps you can take too. You can buy a protective mask for the child with glasses so that he can join in regular athletics. If it makes your redhead feel any better you can let him plaster down his curly mop. You can take your overweight child to a doctor to see whether diet or glandular treatment will correct his weight. You can let your freckle-faced adolescent girl begin a judicious use of make-up. When the problem is a temporary one like a missing- tooth, you can point this out to the child. “You can help him to realize that his playmates attitude may be thoughtless but it does not mean that they dislike him. Above all you can show him you’re on his side.” A wise husband will buy his wife such fine china that she won’t trust him to wash the dishes. There was a young lady named Hannah Who slipped on a peel of banana. As she lay on her side, More stars she espied Than there are in The Star-Spangled Bannah. , Mrs. Smythe: “There is no honesty anywhere! My maid has run away and taken three of my best dresses.” Mrs. Browne: “Which ones, dear?” Mrs. Smythe: “Those I smuggled through the customs when I returned from Paris!” Speculating on what notables might have said (for print) if they had played golf, let us make the following holes in one: Julius Caesar: “I shot, I sliced, I bunkered.” John Paul Jones: “I have not yet begun to putt.” Napoleon: “The old guard lies, but never remembers.” Ethan Allen: “In the name of Great Bobby Jones and the United States Golf Association.” James Lawrence: “Don’t concede the putt.” Sir Francis Drake: “Time enough to finish this eighteenth and beat the Spanish too.” Andrew Jackson: “Don’t shoot until they are on the green.” Benjamin Franklin: “A rolling ball is hard to pick up.” Admiral Dewey: “Drive when ready, Gridley.” John J. Pershing (at the nineteenth hole): “We are here.” “I want an autograph album .for a young nephew of mine,” said the old lady to the bookshop assistant. “Yes, madam,” he replied, and placed a number in front Of her. “I don’t like these,” she said. “Have you anything else?” “Yes, madam,” he replied. “Would you like one bound in morocco?” “Certainly not,” she replied. “I want one bound in this country. I believe in buying American.” He: “Is your father rich?” She: “Rich? My father has so many gold teeth that he has to sleep with his head in a safe.” A woman riding a trolley car was anxious not to pass her destination. She poked the conductor with her umbrella. “Is that the National Bank?” “No, ma’am,” replied the conductor; “that’s my stomach.” Unrestricted Nettie: “This is my daddy’s den. Does your Daddy have a den too?” Betty: “No, he growls all oyer the house.” Pure Corn “What did the calf say to the silo?” “I don’t know.” “Is my fodder in there?” A Little Slow Alfred: “Why does Bertram only send one flower a day to Ethel?” Tom: “He’s saying it with flowers, and he stutters.” No Telling “How old are you, little girl?” asked the bus driver. “If you don’t mind,” the passenger replied, “I’ll pay full fare and keep the statistics to myself.” Able Parliamentarian “Few women have any knowledge of parliamentary law.” “You don’t know my wife. She’s been speaker of the house for 25 years.” Next Question Viliág? Constable (to motorists in head-on collision): “Now, gentlemen, I want to know which of your two cars hit the other first.” Helicopter: An egg beater with ambition. Woman: “What’s your cat’s name, little boy?” Boy: “Ben Hur.” Woman: “That's a funny name-for a cat. How did you happen to ‘ (lick up such a name for it?” Boy: “Well, we just called him Ben until he had kittens.” Sic: “Who gave you that black eye?” S2c: “What do you mean, gave? I had to fight for it.” An inebriate was watching a man enter a revolving door. As the door swung around, a pretty girl stepped out. “Swell trick,” he muttered, “don’t shee how that guy changed hish clothes so fast.” A sugar planter in Hawaii took a friend from the States to the edge of a volcano. “That crater is 70,004 years old.” he explained to the friend. “How do you get the exact age.” asked the newcomer. “I can understand the seventy thousand, but where do you get the four?” “Well,” said the planter, “the volcano was 70,000 years old when I arived, and I’ve been here four years.” They were canoeing- in the starlight. “How bright the stars are tonight,” he said. “Almost as bright as —” “Oh, you flatterer!” she .ejaculated. “As they were last night,” he continued, ealmLy. Bowls ’Em Over Peter: “You must be very strong.” Visitor (charming young widow): “How is that, Peter.” Peter: “Daddy said that you could twist any man around your little finger.” Just Pretend “Jack, dear,” said the bride, “let us try to make the people believe we’ve been married a long time.” “All right, honey,” came the reply, “but do you think you can canny both suitcases?”-------------- iy-SAi ------------7 I I’M COOKING FOR A BALL WITH A HOOK IN IT *
