Show Older Children May Learn Slower Than Younger Ones By JEAN II SELIGMANN and DR MILTON I LEVIN E (Q) "I have a son 26 months and a daughter 14 months old My son refuses to talk My doctor tells me that when he - gets around to it he will but my daughter is starting to talk When I ask my son to say something he shakes his head 'no and fusses It's starting to be embarrassing to say the older one doesn't talk What can I do? I've tried not giving him an item until he says something but he either 'gives up and walks away or cries and stamps his feet I'd be willing to try any suggestions" — Mrs K II (A) You're worrying too much too early The fact that your little daughter is beginning to talk at if months has nothing to do with your boy's not yet starting No two children are exactly alike in their rate of development Also parents usually treat the second child differently from the first Your son may have been able to get everything he wanted without talking up till now and therefore had no need to talk at this point nor embarrassment either for that matter It would be much better to treat this quite to incasually instead of trying ' V sist x ): too he be It might possible will learn quite naturally while his sister is learning Children sometimes pick things up much more readily from one another than they do from adults But whatever you dp doit make comparisons An attitude of this sort can only hurt him and never help him We would also suggest you show your approval of him in the things he does well All children respond to honest praise and pride from persons close to them and therefore often improve and develop in many directions We feel you can assume your son is of perfectly normal intelligence If he is not talking at 3 years then you might seek fur- ther advice (Copyright 1957 General Feature Corp) Mil Dr Carrol Hurd professor of political science at Westminster College in Salt Lake City will speak at the annual YWCA dinner at the Canton Cafe Monday at 7 pm In conjunction with the dinner a meeting for the election of officers will be conducted The ballots which have been sent to the electors and not returned may be mailed to the YWCA during the next few days i - ANNOUNCEMENT For Your Convenience Ourv Store Will Remain Open Every Friday Until 9 P: M JANUARY SPECIALS Special Special PLASTIC DRAPES tii out potttrn LADIES' PANTIES - of now " Hu8 QQ UUC Reg 139 Cannon Bath Towels — —— 69i Reg h OO — W " for BATH In heavy guaranteed " 39 Special fa for 0rA of -7 Rg colors At material ' - - c LAYTON-r-Margar- et - ' y- - p"IM 11 f '"00 f J f'' v j NEFF JR Mrs Opal Merz and Mrs John E O Burton are preparing jor the merchants luncheon to be held tomorrow from 11 am to 2 pm at the Episcopal Church 24th Street and Grant Avenue Proceeds from the event sponsored by Kathryn Guild will be used for new equipment for the parish hall The public is invited By DR GEORGE W CRANE Johnny R 10 is a wistful youngster who stood up as tall and straight as possible while a sand lot group of kids were choosing baseball' teams" But the two leaders never selected Johnny He was left with a few younger boys dejected and unhappy "Why didn't they pick you?" I casually asked for I had watched this youthful tragedy from the sidelines "Oh they call me butter fingers 'cause I can't catch very well" he answered slowly "And I strike out when it's my turn to bat So they never want me unless they run out of other kids to choose from "But how can I ever learn to be a good player for dad never plays catch with me?
