Child Development 

Meetings in Tuscola 

County on March 12 

Child Development meetings will 

be held in Tuscola County on 

Tuesday~ Ma~ch 12. Miss Alice 

Hutchinson, specialist of Michigan 

State College, will be in charge. 

The firs,t meeting of the day will 

be held in the Vassar High School 

at 2:09 p.m. The second one will 

be held in the Cass City High 

School at 8:00 p. m. of the same 

day. This meeting of the Child 

Care and Training Class will be 

held in the home economics room. 

The discussion will hinge on 

teaching the child to use money 

wisely. The child's allowance should 

never be dependent upon behavior 

nor used as a disciplinary measure. 

The wise parent sees that the 

l small child helps wi~h the family 

shopping, .then goes to do some 

buying alone and that his allow- 

ance is increased with age and 

needs. 

All interested persons are invit- 

ed to attend this lecture.

Jumps Two Million 

in Five Years

laneous 4.3%. 

Mr. Ketcham pointed out that 

iz~come from various fa~rn sources 

could be considerably increased in 

the county by a more united effort 

on the part of its citizens. He 

referred principally to the con- 

sumption of milk products. 

Sixty per cent of the income of 

the nation is expended in retail 

trade, according to the :speaker.

FAMILY COUNCILS. 

Should all the affairs of a family 

be decided by ,the parents, or should 

the children be taken into the faro- 

ily consultations, and allowed to 

have some voice in its decisions ? 

All decisions by parents was the 

way of former generations. They 

were supposed to know best about 

everything, and it was up to the 

youngsters to obey. 

Modern sentiment tries to reason 

more with children, and does not 

issue so many orders. Ideas on 

this question were presented by a 

highly qualified expert at a con- 

vention of psychiatrists and social 

scientists in various occupations 

recently held at Boston. It was 

suggested that the family should 

meet in a kind of home counciI and 

talk over its problems, and con- 

sider the regular schedule and the 

extra engagements of the mem- 

bers of the family. 

Children demand independence at 

an earlier ag.e than formerly. If 

some degree is refused them, they 

of, ten create a great rnmpus, and 

the family life goes all skewy. If 

family situations and social situa- 

tions are carefully explained to 

them, if the dangers attending un- 

desirable habits and conduct are 

pointed out, they are likely to be 

reasonaMe. 

Children become restless and of- 

ten rebellious if `they can't do the 

things the crowd does. There seem 

just about two ways to get around 

that difficulty. The first is to set 

forth clearly the reasons why the 

proposed activities are undesirable, 

and the results that follow from 

such things. The secofid is to offer 

some very pleasant substitute that 

children Will like. If the kids want. 

to go to some undesirable affair, 

i~ may be batter instead of blankly 

forbiding it, to get up a better one 

and divert their minds. 

It pays to spend plenty of time 

talking such things out with chil- 

dren. An hour spent in calm rea- 

son with ,them may save a grand 

explosion, 

TEACHING WIVES TO DRIVE. 

Husbands are sometimes advised 

not to try to teach their wives to 

drive an automobile. It is re- 

marked that someone outside the 

family will be more patient. 

Most of ,the young women and 

girls learn to drive, and take it up 

easily, but many of the older wom- 

en have failed to do so. They 

have tried, and after running the 

machine into the garage door or 

up on a neighbor's lawn, they be- 

come panicky and decide that the 

back seat is the best place for 

them. 

The trouble in most cases was 

that they became nervous during 

their preliminary lessons. Under 

nervous strain, people often lose 

control of some of their faculties, 

and become so crippled by fear that 

their minds do not function natu- 

rally. The husband's cross re- 

maxks at what he considers the 

wife's "stupidity" may have creat- 

ed that nerve strain. The husband 

was naturally equally stupid when 

he first stepped on the gas.

Now for a Tall One! 

President Grover P. Dillman of 

Michigan College of Mining and 

Technology relates this one: 

"While in Chicago last fail I 

happened to have luncheon with 

Robert Hutchins, president of the 

University of Chicago. He asked 

me how ,the winters -were at 

Houghton. 

"I said i liked them fine, but 

that last winter we did experience 

some extraordinary weather. A 

March blizzard raged for two 

nights and three days. We closed 

the college two days. A Chicago 

passenger train became snowbound 

somewhere near Houghton and for 

21 hours no one knew where it was. 

Roads were blocked. Traffic was 

paralyzed. Snow was up to ,the 

windows of ,the second Stories of 

houses. 

"Finally when the storm had 

subsided, highway crews went out 

on snowshoes to find the highways. 

Carrying long" poles, they walked 

ahead of rotary snow-removal ma- 

chines and prodded the poles down 

into the snow to locate tops of 

stranded at~tomobiles left on the 

roads. The snow was that deep. 

"I'il never forget the dirty look 

that President Hutchins gave me. 

To this day I believe he thought 

that next to Paul Bunyon hi.resell 

I I ~as- ,the biggest liar he ever 

,heard of," 

i ~a~ North as Quebec 

The vanishing sidewalks (and 

automobiles) are but an introduc- 

tion to a post-depression develop- 

ment in the Upper Peninsula. 

Houghton, for example, is as far 

north as Quebec, Canada! 

It is farther north than Duluth, 

Minnesota. 

Yes, it snows ,there at the slight- 

est provocation and we're begin- 

ning to think perhaps it is a mere 

confirmed winter habit. In fact, 

while we -were witnessing the 54th 

annual ski tournament at "Suicide 

Hill" at Ishpeming, home of the 

famed Bietila bro'thers, a raging 

snowstorm blew off Lake Superior 

and in five minutes' .time had com- 

pletely obliterated the hill. Fif- 

teen minutes later the air cleared, 

and competition was resumed. But 

in a half hour it was snowing 

again. And so it went. 

This season ,the snowfall has 

been almost disappointingly light, 

less than 90 inches on March 1. 

While skiing and hockey have 

been leading sports in the Upper 

Peninsula for years, outdoor sports 

have had a tremendous boom dur- 

ing the past few years. They por- 

tray brighter days for this air- 

conditioned playground of the Mid- 

dle Wes,t where winters are long, 

summers are short. 

It is a new wrinkle for Michigan

Two Egg Weeks 

Open Springtime 

Two egg weeks, both of which 

make a bid for increased egg con- 

i sumpti6n ,that should help business 

on 147,000 Michigan farms, are 

scheduled during Lent and in the 

post-Lent period, a national com- 

mittee announces. 

To Michigan's 26 million dollar 

annual egg industry that ought to 

ha ~nod ~0W~ Mnr~ f.h~n ~n~r- 

poultry. 

C. G. Card and J. M. Moore, 

members of the Michigan State 

College poultry staff, are working 

on the state committee headed by 

A. G. Lohman, Hamilton. Dates 

are March 14-20 and April 11-17. 

There aren't any more eggs in 

storage, reports Moore. Which 

means that eggs in retail stores are 

fresh and their quality should be 

excellent. Yet there is sufficient 

production to make eggs reason- 

able in price. 

The Springtime Egg Festival, as 

the two weeks are being called, is 

sponsored jointly by seven national 

poultry organizations. 

In a recent national survey it 

was found that there are three per 

cent more hens on farms than a 

year ago. Egg production appears 

to be nine per cent above a year 

ago and 31 per cent above the 1935- 

39 average. 

Hatchery prospects are for about 

20 per cent fewer chicks. This de- 

crease in hatching is expected ,to 

force 765,000 ,more cases of fresh 

eggs on the market this spring for 

consumption or for storage.

Arrangements are being eom- 

pleted by V. R. Gardner, head of 

the college horticulture department, 

to assign members of the staff to 

supervision of the groups which 

will go out on call during- the 

spring vacation period, March 19 

to 27. 

The men will be junior and sen- 

ior students, seeking experience as 

well as funds to continue their 

studies at the college. Nominal 

hourly charges are asked by the 

students for work done for fruit 

growers or others who desire prun- 

ing done in recommended fashion. 

"Late requests cannot be filled," 

says Mr. Gardner. "We would 

like to be able to work out sched- 

tries at least by March 15. Or- 

chard owners or others desiring 

services of the students should 

make known their needs early 

enough to .make assignments." 

The system has been in opera- 

tion several years, each spring 

vacation. Because of the travel 

and time involved, most of this 

service necessarily is confined .to 

requests in counties not too far 

from the campus at East Lansing.
