Father, It Now Seems to Be Your Move
irw n* awtette
Well, it waa bound to come sooner or later. We hfd been ex-
pecting it for the last few years. Dr. 0. SPURGEOli ENGLISH,
professor 61 psychology at Temple University, Philadelphia,
thinks something should be done immediately, to restore Dad
to his chair at the head of the table. Dr. English and his colla-
borator, CONSTANCE Jv FOSTER, have written a book,
“Father* Are Parents, Too," aud they really give the old man
a collegiate pep talk. “Relatively few men in this whole great
nation." they write, “began to realize or fulfill their potential-
ities as fathers. Thousands of their sons are hesitant, trucu-
lent, vacillating, timid, domineering, quarrelsome, irresponsible
and unreliable chiefly becanae father did not do his job. Many
of their daughters are insecure, emotionally at loose ends, con-
temptuous of men, or too painfully eager to please them, un-
realistic about romance, disinterested in homemaking, undecid-
ed about marriage, doubtful of their own worth, moody and
unmotivated. Vast numbers of homes are merely cafeterias at
mealtime, and shelters from the wind at night.”
What’* the cure? The nation needs father in the armchair,
at the head of the table carving the roast, disciplining the chil-
dren, keeping the peace, settling disputes, and loving his wife—
but reserving his pants for his own use. There you are storing
that quaint old custom of offering up a humble little prayer
now and then while you are presiding at the head of the table?

Mrs. Stinson planted one-third
of the land in soil improving le-

clover for that soil which had a
tight “hard pan” six inches below
the surface. The plover was turn-
ed under green. Increased yields
on corn land in 1951 showed a
profit of $13.09 per acre more
than the land did under the old
type of farming.

rUTURE REPORT— W* have
on our desk a statement which
reads: “The life of our civilization
is dependent upon our conservation
of soil and water resources. The
problem is of identical importance
to both rural and urban areas,
though owners of private lands are
in a better position to do some-
thing about St. More trees, shrubs,
grasses, and legumes ate needed
on most privately owned land.
Especially is this true on farms
and ranches. Planting oh trees,
etc., on land unsuitable for cultiva-
tion is an important phase of con-
servation. There is some land on
nearly every farm or estate not
as much about house cleaning as
.she should, and therefore expends
‘a lot of unnecessary energy.
The Tile Council of America has
put its home arts department oil
the job of compiling some interest-
ing statistics. A survey shows that
there are 39,846,042 homemakers
in the country and the council says
that- women, by using proper
methods, could save themselves
156,380,168 hours a week.
Most women spend an average
of one full, eight-hour- day a week
With the broom and durstrag. The
experts claim this time could be
cut in half.
Pull up a jar of wax and listen
to the advice of the council.
Let the house work "for you, and
not the other way around. Keep
dirt-catching at a minimum by
eliminating gee-gaws, dust absorb-
ing upholstery, and easily stained
carpets.
Stick to washable accessories
and the type of floor which mayjfe

them to air-dry after scaling on
the sing drain.
Spend your time, wisely. An hour
devoted to decorating a cake is
not sensible management unless
you have lota of time.
