8 Kindergarten Opens Serving Both Communities The Lydia - Clinton Mills Kindergarten opened October 4th for the 1956-57 year under the direction of Mrs. Edith Crisp, Lydia Mills Community Director. Although located in the Lydia Kindergarten building, it serves children of both Clinton and Lydia Mills communities. Mrs. Crisp said the kindergarten is a school where children are trained mentally, physically, emotionally and socially. Parents should not expect children to be simply ~r ii? i: t- - ti i lci laiiicu ctn ui me ume oecause they also will be given valuable pre-school training. True joy will be derived from daily progress. Each child must be brought to the teacher, unless the parent personally makes other arrangements with the 0 ^ . -rfl V \ ' jo VQI ?

If a child has any indications of a contagious disease, they should be kept at home until he has returned to normal. This is necessary for the protection of all children attending kindergarten. The fee for kindergarten is 50 cents a week. This is used to help defray part of the expenses. The payment should be made regularly on Monday morning of each week. Children should not bring toys or food to kindergarten unless arrangements have been made with the teacher.

THE CLOTHMAKI Invest In Rest Relaxation is an art. A famous novelist said that when she was a child she met an old man who taught her this, and it was one of the m net imnnrtant loccnnc cVio ever learned. She had fallen down and cut her knees and hurt her wrist. The old man who picked her up had once been a circus clown. As he brushed her off, he said, "The reason you injured yourself was because you don't know how to relax. You have to pretend you are as limp as a sock?an old crumpled sock. Come, I'll show you how to do it." That old man taught the children how to fall, how to do flipflops and how to turn somersaults; and always he insisted, "Think of yourself as an old crumpled sock. Then you've got to relax!" Relaxation is the absence of all tension and effort. We can relax in odd moments, almost anywhere we are, and be as composed as an old cat. Have you ever seen a tired or worried cat or a cat with a nervous breakdown, insomnia or stomach ulcers? Plant Safety Is Important To Everyone If we were traveling down the road and came to a sign in the road which read "Dan ger ? noaci Closed ? tsridge Out," we would not drive through the sign and keep going or believe that the sign was for others but not for ourselves. We would realize that it was there for a warning for you and me as well as others. A good safety program is in a way compared to the sign in the road. It's for everyone. It is a means to help keep us informed, to teach us the right and wrong way to do certain things but will never stop us unless we are willing to coop erate. Of course, some in accident prevention programs, just as on the highways, still go right on ignoring all that is done to help them and eventually turn up in first aid rooms and even in hospitals. Our safety program here at Clinton and Lydia Mills is planned and set up for everyone, even those who have never had an accident, and those who never come close to a machine. So please, help out with it so that you and your friends around you will not be hurt. MUNITIONS Gossip?Newscaster without a sponsor. Wife?Dish Jockey.

Collars, such as the two on our lovely models, continue as big fashion news. These collars were beautifully created for our models by Miss Louise Cox of Clinton. Miss Cox used the shell stitch to crochet the throat hugging style on the left, and chose shells and sequins to outline it. The scalloped HOUSEHO If materials have faded from laundering, wrap them in wax paper after dampening for ironing. Then there will be no danger of color staining other garments or the towel in which ironing is wrapped. Use dental floss instead of cotton thread when sewing buttons on garments iesno O X g cially children's). Buttons will be firmer, stay on much longer. Use penny lollipops as tongue depressors on small children. You'll get a clear view of throat and tonsils without much objection from the patient. To keep paint from dripping into your eyes when painting a ceiling with a roller, wear swim goggles for the iob. A child's drinking glass won't slip out of his hands so easily if you make it skidproof with a strip of adhesive tape placed around the rim near the top. Not only will it give Junior a better grip; it also is easy to replace when soiled or frayed. Need incentive to help you reduce: Paste to the refrigerator door, the bread box and the cookie jar a picture of a girl (or man) who is about the size you'd like to be. This should give you the will power to stick to your diet and remind you that you must keep hands off. To clean and remove stains from narrow-necked glass vases, bottles, decanters, etc., cut up about a dozen pieces of raw potato and place pieces in the vessels.

You can convert a doubleedged razor blade into a single-edged blade ? for snipping thread, clipping seams, etc. ? by stripping adhesive tape or cellulose tape across one edge of the blade.

Not only will it add to your bathroom decor, it also is a handy plav to keep your fresh soap supply.
