Special Attention Given to UNDERSTANDING IOWA CHILDREK CHILDREN WOULD RATHER BE FRIENDLY Afton Smith, Assistant Professor, Iowa Child Welfare Research Station Since children's fights and quarrels receive more of our attention than their friendships, we assume that they would rather fight than be friendly. Yet several studies of friendly tendencies in children seem to show that they are as ready to be friendly as they are to be unfriendly.

In one study of two year olds, for instance, Professor Mengert observed over four times as many friendly as unfriendly acts. And Professors Jersild and File found that even between two very aggressive children there was more friendly behavior than unfriendly. A third study was made by Professor Wright, who found that the children were friendly to a newcomer in the group more often than they were hostile. Yet another study revealed more conflicts between two close friends than between other children in the group. Perhaps there was more opportunity for conflict between the two who played more with each other, but they still remained good friends.

In other studies at the preschool age it was found that conflict usually arose over possessions, or when one child got in another's way. Friendliness seemed to be a natural state, while hostility arose when there was cause for it. Another cause of hostility may be a below-par physical condition due to poor sleeping or eating habits Insecurity due to strain, tension and too much excitement iji the family atmosphere also will cause irritability and make a child less friendly Gangs of older children often work up a feud with another gang They may fight because they have no constructive outlets for their energy. They often fight for amusement and even their hostility is pleas-' urable, yet the metnbers within the gang are friendly. Supervision of children always will be necessary, for they do not always know how to handle their conflicts.

Nevertheless, the child's greater need is for play situations where he can use his friendly tendencies. He is at least as ready to be as he is to fight. American Legion Auxiliary AUXILIARY SPOTLIGHTS WORK FOR COMMUNITIES Service to their communities will be emphasized throughout March by the 14,000 local Units of the American Legion Auxiliary, it has been announced by Mrs. Elmer Petersen, Community Service Chairman of the local Unit here. Units will study community conditions and plan community improvement projects for the coming year.

"Every Auxiliary Unit is expected to complete at least one community service project every year," said Mrs. Petersen. "With thousands of Units at work year after year, using the energies of nearly one million members, the total accomplishments become of national importance. 'Many American Legion Auxiliary projects are carried out in cooperation with other organizations. We always support any projects of our American legion Posts, and we work in the educational and fund-raising activities of the national health organizations.

In all of our community service endeavors, we try to get the entire community pulling together to make that community a finer place in which to live. Auxiliary Units have been successful in community beautification projects such as clean-up and paint-up campaigns, planting flowers, shrubs and trees, improvement of parks and grounds of public buildings, and planting and maintaining memorial groves in honor of the community's war dead. "Establishing and improving playgrounds, operating teen-age recreation centers, aiding libraries expand their services, purchasing special equipment for hospitals and clinics, and assisting in safety campaigns are among the other projects in which Auxiliary Units have engaged. By these efforts toward improving conditions in their own communities, they are helping build a better America." Regular monthly meeting Friday, March 26th.

So the total poundage of beef may not be any larger than last year.

Much depends upon the trend in business and weather conditions. A continued slump in business or widespread drouth, or both, would start liquidation of cattle. In that case we would see a cattle slaughter of 40 million even 1954. We will want to keep a close eye on both of these forces in the months ahead. But given reasonable breaks on these two fronts, we should see more stability in the cattle pic ture than took place last year.

For our cattle kill shot up from 28 million in 1952 to 37 million head in 1953. To maintain that pace, we would have to see a 54 million slaughter in 1954. It's possible, but not probable, according to Kutish. Here's about what we are likely to see this year: Cattle slaughter in the first 3 months of 1954 running ahead of a drop below last year's levels during the spring and early with as many or more cattle killec in the last 4 or 5 months of 1954 as a year earlier. Cattle prices probably will show some seasonal declines for the 7th Korea: Army Pfc.
