FAIRLY SPOKEN By Margaret Lot robe Listening In On Six-Year-Old -i "Daddy, how does God turn on the stars at night? What makes the wind whistle? Where does my voice go when.it quits talking? Friends, these are the simpler challenges of child- rearing. Farsighted parents set up lodgings close to the public library in 'order to keep a length ahead in the unending unpaying quiz kid questionnaire. And finding no living quarters near the source material, others build bookshelves" for large sets of encyclopedia. The mockery of it is constantly outwit these great books by asking the unanswerable Parents may emerge as numbskulls in young eyes while becoming expert dwersiomsts Well now, let's look up the answer together is only a subterfuge by which it 1 is hoped that a pretty butterfly full color might distract Junior from that "where does the smoke go" routine The direct question is bad enough for parental morale. Worse yet is listening in on the wave length.

They make no sense at this yet understand each other perfectly. "My. daddy is-taking us to the circus next Tuesday says "That's 1 saVs the other, "and I don't even know what 'exciting': "But the first, "you eat blueberry muffins so "Hah!" counters the second, they look funny in the elders do well to hide behind the newspaper, pretending read favored rather than give in normal impulse for flight. Are these kids having a wry joke, deliberately trying to drive the old man daft? Or what? Blueberries microscopes 1 "T- circuses? The urge toward introspection becomes great, just here. But I urge you not to give in to that, either.

Catching the" sense of such childish talk is outside your'adult power, and to get a clue you'll need six-year-old acjvice. I.wouldn't recommend this'course a't all, simply because the young should be shielded from premature discovery of parental incompetence. You have-resorted to "Let's look it up together" often to undermine their belief in your store of wisdom; don't compound the' error by attempting to follow their private discourses. "If we take our umbrellas when it isn't raining," says one joyfully, "how about the "Well," says the other, "I have so why don't we wait for the mailman? Go ask your mother if she really means it There is only one answer to that "Of couise, dear And get back to that The kids will grow up soon enough soon enough Nurses Alumnae Appoint Delegate Preparations to send a delegate to the state mirsos convention were made as members of the Good Samaritan Hospital Nurses Alumnae Association held the March meeting last night at the nurses' home, Fourth and High Anna Strickler, president of the group, was named delegate to the convention, which will in November.

Frost and tender young plants don't get'along well, and since frost usually wins you should watch what flowers you plant in early spring. Start out with some of the hardiest, such as bachelor buttons, petunias, annual larkspur, annual pinks, pansies, moss" roses, alyssum and sweet peas. These can be started outdoors in and while they will survive a -light frost, they won't survive a hard freeze. Most other flowers, such as zinnias, marigolds, should not be planted outside in flats until all danger of frost is over.
