I suppose, 1 someone will discover how to; influence a child's dispostion by the. food he eats, just as they are doing to adults. today with their! pep pills and sedatives. 1m How nice it would lie to give a child a bite of apple that would keep him from chasing: his little sister halfway into convulsions! Or a drink of orange Juice, that-! would keep him at his building blocks while you worked on the Great American Novel. But however you treat whatever you feed them, whether you shroud them hi flannel or leave them bare, no modern technician has ever fashioned, no artist has ever depicted anything as beautiful as a real live jbaby girl.

I can remember how certain I used to that the children of my friends would never survive the diet allowed them. One added a little gnashed banana tn the milk, after vro weeks. (We allowed iouir own; children rwedbach after a month, which was twice as dangerous as the banana.) Another friend gave her child black walnuts before she had teeth to chew them. The chiid loved them, and didn't choke to death, either. So we 'should not look with such disdain at the "pot likker? the pioneer jmother fed her child.

i Mayor A.j Welmer has joined Gov. Matthew Welsh and President John F. Kennedy proclaiming the period from Feb. 18 to 26 for observance of the signing of the National Currency act on 25, 1863, by President Abraham Lincoln. 1 The act provided for creation and growth of the present American commercial banking with federal-chartered banks operi a ting alongside the existing state! chartered banks in a dual sys tem.

I i In issuing the proclamation, Mayor Welmer termed the dual banking system a clear and his toric response to the constitution's call for checks and balances" in the apportioning governmental power, j- "Under this system," he "private ownership of ourbanks has a choice of doing business under, either state orj federal supervision. This gives the private citizen protection against arbitrary or joppressiye policies and actions at either level of government." Mayor Welmer praised the "responsible and aggressive role' of commercial banks in fostering the area's economic growth. Each of the Columbus banks is planning special activities during the centennial celebration. Details of the plans will be, announced in the near future.
