And I'll never forget it throughout through-out e-tern-ity. Seldom did my busy father have time to go Mo the canyon in a wagon with horses so slow. But this day he made time and through snow we went, Cut a load of pine trees and to ''each neighbor we sent. Soon we were trimming our own and real fun began, On a coal stove we popped corn In our black fry pan. Chose the brightest red apples and polished each face Hung the largest at front of the three, as even as lace. My broadest knit red stocking I fastened secure, Selfishly, on the longest limb near the front door. We had no strung lights, t'was popcorn chains instead; But we had our prayers at nine, then mother tucked us in bed. "Did I sleep? Not a wink! I just listened in vain For Jolly Saint Nicholas and his reindeer train. Pd think and I'd blink, until two little light rays . Gave me permit to get up and reach the tree in a daze. ".One look, then another, what a sightI just cried! For once in my life I could have willingly died.

Miss Nelson noted that a child from 18 months to three years needs active physical phy-sical play. She stated, "He needs things to ride and climb on, such as a small tricycle, wagon, trucks or animals that can be straddled. "The young builder will be delighted de-lighted with a set of blocks of different sizes and shapes and these are excellent for encouraging encour-aging creativity. Dress-up clothes, clay, crayons cray-ons and fingerpaints are also excellent for this age." From three to six years, a child enjoys acting out grownup grown-up roles. The USU student suggests sug-gests that costumes and equipment equip-ment which enable children to act as cowboys, Indians, firemen, fire-men, policemen, doctors and nurses nur-ses be a part of their toy collection col-lection now. "This is an age when young housekeepers are ready for their own appliances and equipment just like Mommy's. Trucks and similar transportation toys are good to be used with blocks. A big backyard gym set and bigger tricycle are good for developing develop-ing physical skills," Miss Nelson said. For creativity, she suggests paste, scissors, colord paper, wooden puzzles, picture books and records. "These items also encourage quiet play," she added. Expensive toys are not necessary. neces-sary. Miss Nelson maintains that a parent can make do. For example, ex-ample, she says that giving a child a little pan to put inside a big one is still one of the best ways of helping him understand size differences and climbing the backyard apple tree is probably just as good for physical exercise exer-cise as expensive climbing toys.
