History Of Dress 1s Beta Omega Program Topic; New Follies Date When Beta Omega Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi met Monday, November 22, the Christmas Season was very much in evidence. Most members arrived bearing gifts for the patients at the State Mental Hospital at Chattahoochee. Ruthie Farmer will contact all members so each one will havea chance to participate in this very worthwhile project carried on: an- nually by all chapters of Beta Sigma Phi in Florida. Enda Miller held everone’s atten-~ tion when she presented a very in- teresting progam on the History of Dress from the program book “Beauty.” She told the members that modi- fication of woman’s dress has been constant from ancient times and is influenced by many things includ- ing trnasportation wars and revolu- tions. Fashion, she said, revolves in cycles. Frafice leads in styles for womean and London sets the styles for men. The United States modifies these styles to make them better suited for Americans. New York leads the world in the manufacture of wom- ens apparel. Edna warned the girls not to stick to the style if it is not suited to them personally, but to pick feaures which suit them and modify others. Margie Sellers, chairman of the service committee, reported she delivered three boxes of food after the last meeting to the Salvation Army for distribution for Thanks- giving. Due to the games at the High School on the dates previously an- nounced for the Valentine Follies of ’55, the Follies dates have been changed to February 18 and 19. Please save one of these dates so you can attend and watch for fur- ther news about this big coming event. Members gave their committee preference to Jessie Michael, chair- man of the ways and means com- mittee, and she will announce the Follies committees at the next meeting. Edna Miller volunteered space in her storage room in which to keep float materials for the sorority. The sorority’s Christmas Party will be held at Edna Miller’s home. The social committee, headed by Virginia Whitmarsh is making big plans for the party. The members voted to give $10.00 to the Merchant’s Nativity Scene Fund. A collection was taken a- mone the members for this dona- Margaret Reagan suggested an order for 100 more fruit cakes be rushed to the bakery to meet the big demand for these delciious cakes.

BUY DIRECT 3: As youngsters get on toward their teens they have more and more need for money of their own. It’s good for a child to have some money that he can use as he sees fit. The only way anyone ever learns to spend wisely is to have experience in spending. How much money-a child has depends several things. First, how much the family can afford to give him; second, on what he must buy with his money, and third, less important but not to be ignored, how much spending money his friends have. A child is a member of the fami- ly; and as such shares with the family the general standard of liv- ing of the group. Don’t give your child more money to spend on non- essentials than you have. As a youngster learns about spending, you can give him more money and let him buy for him- self things that you ordinarily buy for him—at first little things like carfare, movies, school supplies such as pencils and Pads... When Chris-got td be 10 his al- lowance covered his haircuts. He just couldn’t bear to pay out a whole dollar for a haircut. He'd wait until his hair hung down over his ears, then he’d finally go get it cut and have it practically shav- ed. He came in for a good bit of ribbing from his friends but he learned the value of those dollars too. Sam couldn’t be bothered to change into his playclothes after school until his cleaning expenses were added to his allowance. It didn’t take him long to realize that the bother of changing clothes meant an extra movie. Anne at 12 asked her parents to increase her allowance so she could buy all her clothes. After much talk .and_ considerable hesi- tation on the part of Anne’s moth- er, she was given $25 a month. It was more money than the child had ever had. She felt like a mil- TELEPHONE: Citizen Office, 25661 Your Child Today lionaire. She went shopping, came home with a new blouse and skirt and a bunch of flowers for her| mother. Her mother was very touched by the gift and refrained from point- ing out to the child that even $25 was not unlimited wealth. The end of the first month Anne had to borrow money for carfare to get to school. But she learned to bud- get by having the money to man- age. Sit down with your child and plan what he must buy with his money and how much he needs to do it. Then leave him alone to manage by himself. % Of course some supervision is necessary. He isn’t to fill up on ice cream sodas just before din- ner, he is not to go places you don’t approve of. But if he keeps within reasonable rules, let him spend his money foolishly and learn by his mistakes —AP News- feautres United Churchwomen Cancel Tuesday’ Meet The meeting of the Florida Council of United Churchwomen originally scheduled for tomor- row has been canceled.
