The day is important to you and it’s also important to the child. But its meaning is very different depending upon whose eyes you’re looking through. To you as mother it’s the first big break with your child. Up to now you have looked after him all the time. True, , he’s been around the neighborhood, maybe he’s even been off on a trip or two, but he hits home base fre- quently and it’s always you he comes to. You’ve always been the one who fixes. the bumps and scratches, you’ve had meals ready and settled the squabbles with other children. Now he’s off and it’s the be- ginning of a new set of loyalties. There will be the Teacher. You might as well face it. Teacher is going to take over some of your place. You are still important, there is still plenty for you to do, but you're just a wee hit less im- portant to your child than you were. before. It’s a good idea to stand back and look this fact squarely in the eye and then accept it. 5 From the day your baby is born until he is a full grown man (or women) your child is busy be- coming independent of you. Things happen so slowly and gradu- ally that sometimes you hardly notice how much your child has grown to depend upon himself. ‘Then comes along an event like going to school and all of a sud- den you realize with a bang that you haven’t a baby any longer. Some mothers find this hard to take. During the years of the baby’s complete dependence such a mother has come to feel in portant Tha) more important than “Sepersy felt before. It's a nice feeling to know that you count. It’s hard to give it up. But if you are really going to be the’truly good mother you want to be you have to gradually fade out of the picture and let your child become independent of you. The better job you.do the more com- pletely unemployed you will some day be. Because your child has started first grade A agg mean baci. unemployed yet. There are. Sorae you're still top of the however,” the going to share’ your ility for your child. ‘One of the ways you can help child most’ is to work along with the school and never against it, Never put your child in the ‘pos of choosing between you. Get to. know your child’s teach- er if you can. Understand ‘why she does what she does. Always speak well of hér to your young- ir. ae maybe your Bill’s teach- er does handle the children badly. Not every teacher in this country is good. If you really think this, get busy in the Parent-teacher ‘Assn, and do something about it. the meantime help Bill respect and he will get much more from his time in her room than if you teach him to scorn her.— uw Newsfeatures.

CANNED GOODS TO BE SOLICITED Sigsbee Park Navy Wives Club will collect _ canned goods today Here are authoritative answers from the.

I understand that a veteran may not receive Korean GI train- ing benefit payments if they dupli- cate payments made by the Gov- ernment under some other pro- gram. I plan to enroll in a land- grant college, which gets Federal funds from a non-VA source.'Would T still be permitted to take my training under the Korean GI Bill? A. “Yes: :The fact that the Goy- ernment provides funds to land- grant colleges would not deprive you of your rights to enroll under the Korean GI Bill. The ban on duplicate payments would apply only; if-you yourself were to get money from two Federal sources— the VA and some other agency. Q. Ihave a GI insurance policy.

If you fail to select a method of settlement, the insurance money -will be paid’ to your beneficiary in 36 equal installments.: Your bene- ficiary, however, would have the right to choose some other settle- ment’ method so long as it is not a lump-sum payment.

Do I have to count all the money I make from the business as income, for pension purposes? A. No. In computing the income from your. business, you are per- mitted to deduct necessary ex- penses of carrying on the business. It is your net income that counts, not. your gross income. . Q.

DO YOU CARE ENOUGH TO DRIVE WITH CARE It’s a credit to America that her generous people give so freely to combat the ills of childhood. It's a tragic paradox that many of these same peo- ple permit traffic accidents to kill more children 100 14 years old than any of the five most dreaded child diseases. Yet, there is a cure for this, too—and it doesn’t cost a dime. Ic starts with better driving.
