MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD Make School Clothing for Children Attractive, Practical Corduroy Skirt m To achieve trimming details such aj zigzag stitches in a variety of lengths and widths, corded effects, appliqued designs and monograms, lace edges and inserts or an orna-mental edge similar to picoting, it's smart to use a zigzag attachment. This attachment will jump over pins and heavy thicknesses of fabric easily. A gathering foot makes short work of the many gathered effects required on small girls' clothing. This little device will gather the skirt fullness for stitching onto bodice, give smocked effects by gathering in fullness at the should-er and across the chest. Some of the manufacturers of children's dresses are using zippers in place of buttons. This is a good trick for mother to use, as it helps By Ertta Haley L clothing for the kindergarten, first and second grade set need not be difficult if the mother does her own sewing. She may make a smart wardrobe for the young set at a much more reduced cost than one purchased al-ready made, and, provided she sews carefully, the clothing will be sturdy. Youngsters In the early grades are rough on clothes, whether they're boys or girls, and they are quite heedless about falling and con-sequently tearing clothing. It will have to be as sturdy and as prac-tical as you can make it. However, it's never smart to sacrifice attrac-tiveness, as the youngsters are very conscious of how they look in their various dresses, jumpers, skirts, coveralls and shirts. When sewing for the younger set, mother must also look to the laun- - trimmed suspenders to the navy skirt. You can make these from tape or red flannel or felt. blouses are very pret-ty, but they will be even for prettier the small miss if you add some bright rick-rac- bias tape or peas- ant band trimming to sleeves and collar. This can be applied even if the blouse is ready-mad- or can be used en an old blouse which needs a fresh new touch. Dark broadcloth dresses are very prettily trimmed if you run a small plaid ruffle starting at the waist, go-ing over the shoulder and to the waist at the back. Have one on each side. Attach the ruffle to a narrow piece of tape made from the same plaid for ease in sewing. Another good style in school dresses is this: Make a cotton print or plaid dress with a blouse-lik- e top and petticoat-lik- e circular skirt. This is worn in early fall while weather is still warm anrf al ir, . - 3 I Ur , i the youngster to dress herself more easily. Use them on both skirt and dress openings, sewing them on as you would- - on adult clothing. How to Handle Corduroy When Cutting, Sewing It's very important to fit and alter dress patterns before you cut them from corduroy. When you cut, lay the corduroy on a smooth, flat surface with the pile side up except where it's necessary to cut on a fold or double. In this event, the fabric may be folded lengthwise with the pile inside. All pattern pieces should be placed on fabric in same direction so the pile runs upward. Make pat-tern markings with tailor's tacks. spring. For fall and winter, make an overskirt of corduroy to be wom over the dress. Use Time-Savin- g Sewing Tricks Mothers who have hemline troubles with their g children would do well to use a blind stitch attachment on the sew-ing machine. This is easily attached to the machine in place of the press-e- r foot, and produces an invisible hemming that rivals hand stitch-ing. It can be used on both light and heavy material. dermg possibilities of clothing she makes. In short, these clothes must be able to take their share of suds-ing and hard washing, and still come out, color fast, properly fit-ting, clean and wearable. Plaid shirts for the boys, and plaid dresses for the girls are excel-lent investments because the plaids now being shown have dark back-grounds which do not show dirt. In this way, they can get through several hours of the day looking as neat as possible. Dark broadcloth or other dark cottons with touches of white at the collar and cuffs make adorable clothes for girls. These, too, are practical and attractive choices. As in many seasons before, cor-duroy is an excellent choice for both boys and girls' clothing. Chosen in A smart little one-pie- cot-ton dress can see year 'round service with the addition of a circular overskirt of warm cor-duroy. Professional dressmaker touches such as shoulder gath-ering, gathered sleeve edging which make the dress versatile, are easily done on the gather-ing foot attachment of the sew-ing machine. able in them, and he may trip on them. Clothing should be warm but not bulky, as these children are very active and need to be carefully fitted. Stitch the seams carefully and you'll save a lot of mending as time goes on. Avoid fussy and fragile trimmings on the girls' dresses even though they are pretty because they will not take hard wear. You can ob-tain good effects through full skirts, full gathering, wide belts that tie into beautiful bows, and sturdy laces and eyelet. Color is important as it's refresh-ing to both the young and those who will look at it. Even though dark solid colors are chosen, they can be livened with white or bright colors, plaid trims and borders. . Select appropriate materials . . . the dark bright colors such as blue, rust, brown and green, it's color-ful but Gay Trimming Adds Clever Touches There are so many ways to bright-en wool dresses and blouses for young fry, even though the fabrics used in them may be fairly dark for practicality. Take, for example, the classic flared or pleated skirt which is so often made in navy blue wool or jersey. If it has pleats, then this is all it needs. If plain, you can do several things. With a transfer pat-- Wardrobe Requirements For Yeungsters are Easy It's easy to meet wardrobe re-quirements for young fry because it's not necessary to have great variety. Unless you do the laundry several times a week, then you'll probably have to plan either a dress or several blouses for every week day for little girls. Boys in the young age groups can get along with three or four pairs of pants, and a pair or two of over-alls. It will be best, if you can man-age to plan one shirt for each day, but some of these can be of the in-expensive type. Clothing that is made for school wear now should fit the little wear-er. You can place an extra large hem in little girls dresses, but don't make them too long for now, as the youngster will not like wearing the dress as her playmates will not al-ways be very kind about her clothes. Pants and overalls for the boys can be made with a slightly wider cuff that can be let down as he grows, but if the pants are too long at the start, he will feel uncomfort- - and attractive styles for youngsters. tern apply some flowers to the skirt and stitch these in woolen yarns of red, bright green and possibly yellow. They'll add lots of cheer to the skirt. Take a tip from the teen-age- d girls and add bright red, peasant ii m ; 'W 'WH 'iff' W "!)''

TN THE CALIFORNIA college town at Berkeley, Calif., a move-ment was recently inaugurated to restore the old custom of whipping as a punishment for refractory children in schools. It appears now to be a lost cause, and Berkeley's mothers and fathers are drawing a long breath of relief mingled with indignation. But that isn't the whole story, even to those of us who can re-member the frightened helpless tears of small boys ordered to re-port to the principal's office, and the swollen hands and n eyes of gentle little girls who had felt Teacher's merciless rod. Naturally, we regard that cold im-personal beating of our loved youngsters as a relic of barbarism, small private school. In the school was a named Stuart. Stuart was a heavy, blubbery sort of child who had been left entire-ly to oriental servants, and had had his own way all his life. Stuart threw ink about, pulled curls, kicked the shins of smaller boys, and finally took up his stand in the yard, and for three days would not come into school. Twice I dragged him in, and twice he made himself heavy in the mysterious way a child can, and it was with difficulty that I could pull him off the ground. Meanwhile school hours were lost, and the other children stood about entranced. The board of managers, church folk all, arrived in a body to criti- - cize. Stuart's elegant mother was among them. She was the one who asked if a teacher was not expect-ed to win the love of the children. And she went to put a motherly arm about Stuart. Stuart bit his mother's wrist until the blood ran. I was shocked; we all were. But I felt that if Stuart was going to bite anyone, he had chosen the right and responsible person. It seems to me that if we par- ents are going to ban physical pun- ishment in school and I believe we should that we should also find the solution for the teachers' prob- lem when one of those completely incorrigible children comes along. There is no such thing as a natural-ly bad child. an admission of the failure of school discipline and control. But it isn't the whole story. The story includes children who simply cannot be reached by any other means than that of bullying, of breaking of the spirit, of physi-cal pain and shame. There are many such children. Unmanageable Child They are children who have had no home training at all. They do not know the words duty, obedience, attention, respect, manners. They are sent to school to be gotten out of the way; nobody at home ever suggests that they try to make the teacher's task easier, that they do their home work conscientious-ly, that they learn to concentrate. They don't know what school is. They don't know that civilization has painfully developed schools, and that every hour in a school is paid for by taxpayers and that Amer- - lllllljjjf fi'ii ymim ". . . the unmanageable child . , ," ica spends millions upon millions every year to give every one of her little sons and daughters training in educational essentials, athletic development, capability to accept the right calling in life, when it offers itself. Every teacher of the grade school classes knows the unmanageable child. Sometimes it is a girl, more often a boy. The boy is a smarty show-of- f. He isn't afraid of anyone; he doesn't have to obey anyone. He laughs joyfully if he is dragged bodily into school. His idleness, his sneers, affect all the other chil-dren. He knows how to punish the teacher, and he punishes her through weary lesson hours, ex-hausting her energies and delight-ing in increasing signs of her help-lessness. A certain boy, put back into a class of was such a boy. He bullied small-er boys, answered the teacher with veiled insolence, and one day thrust out his foot as she walked down the aisle. The teaoher, a gentle, woman, fell heavily, and the boy's grinning denial that he had done it filled the smaller boys with admiration. Bit Right Person A long, long time ago I was sub-stitute teacher for a week in a --ONCE OVER Forward, By Two-Thir-ds Vote! By H. I. PHILLIPS QAPTAIN. Forward march! G.I. Is that before this company In the form of an order or a reso--' lutioa? Captain. It is an order! G.I. If I may say so at this time, it seems slightly irregular in that it was not on the agenda as presented in the crap game last night. Sergeant. You heard the com-mand, bud. Forward march! Second G.I. May I ask for clar-ification? The word "forward" is It could mean many of Ulysses S. Grant in the Bat-tle of the Wilderness. May I re-mind all you gentlemen that the situation is getting hazardous. Several enemy shells have just passed quite close to us here. First G.I. The matter of en-emy shells is not before us at this time. We are discussing the item entitled "command of forward march" and nothing else can be given priority under our charter. Sergeant (As some enemy bul-lets whiz past). Hit the dirt, ya bums! Second G.I. I rise to a point of order. The remark of the sergeant is a typical case of an attempt to dictate to this group. Third G.I. (as more shells come close). I move we seek cover. Captain. Do you put that as a motion? Third. Yes sir. Second G.I. I suggest it be put before this body in th form of two motions. Motion Number one: That we take cover in the immedi-ate area. Motion two: That we be allowed to take cover anywhere in the country without restrictions of any kind. Captain. I desire again to re-mind this company that unless we attack we are in a position of great hazard. First G.I. I submit that no posi-tion in war can be considered haz-ardous without a two-thir- vote. miles forward or merely a few yards. Captain. I must bject to this as obstructive and as a delaying tactic employed for propaganda purposes. However, if the honor-able dogface insists, I do not mind saying that I use the word "for-ward" in the unlimited sense. Third G.I. My delegation wishes to know more about the implications of the verb "march."t Webster says it means to walk. There have been Instances In Korea where sme ef us have been asked to march and after accepting this interpretation have found we also were expected to take it on the double. Captain. I submit that this comjpany knows very well that the word "march" Is em-ployed with considerable elas-ticity by established precedent.

To push this campaign, Allied oc-cupied west Berlin has produced one of the most alluring brochures m the history of tourism. It has the romance of Algiers' Casbah and Pepe Le Moko backed right off the map. It offers what no other city can advertise the dangerous thrill of being behind Joe Stalin's iron cur-tain, with safety. In fact, one of the chief advertised attractions is having your picture taken at the Red army memorial with a tommy-gu- n bearing Russian sentinel and tne challenge: "If you're lucky he might smile." What's more, west Berlin pre- sents itself as "the only place where you can meet your business friends or relatives from the Russian con- trolled zone without hindrance and hear them recount their experiences under Russian dictatorship." The west Berlin brochure cover shows a blond beauty garbed in the flags of the west German federal republic and the four occupying powers, including the Soviet ham- mer and sickle. The caption is: "Don't Miss Ber- lin." Offered inside are the attractions of this quartered city. Tourists are reminded that they are allowed to enter the Russian sector if they want to leave the safer lures of Alhed west Berlin-a- nd "there you will notice the vast contrast be- tween life in the western sectors !attas,pPartS r |
