People are funny according to
an established radio program, but
sometimes to a young mother,
she finds this is not true, first you
should realize that people are
funny only to those who have
fun with others.
. During a baby’s first weeks of
life, a baby’s pleasure comes from
purely physical causes, gas bub
ble smiles are purely automatic,
muscular reactions. A baby smiles
most frequently as a part of their
physical reaction. When a baby
needs burping and his mother
burps him, gently patting him on
the back with a soft chuckle, he
learns to associate the firm arms,
kind face and voice of his mother
giving him a pleasant bodily sen
sation.
Since you can see that nursing
is one of the first pleasures a
young child receives, thumb
sucking is a very easy and pleas
urable habit. It is nothing to be
alarmed about but can be han
dled as easily as burping if you
i can take the time and patience.
Never correct the small child
negatively or by suggestion, that
is, suggesting the deed before it
is done, such as saying, “Don’t
suck your thumb. When the
thumb is in the mouth, give the
child something to do with his
hands, such as games, patty cake,
etc., or large bright beads to
string. Be sure that the games
are not too complicated and that
the beads are large enough for
his hands to hold and the hole is
large enough for a boot string to
go through.
This habit can not be broken
at once, but as I said, be firm,
gentle and calm. By playing
with your baby you can teach
him reassuring lessons. A sense
of humor, of course, implies
much more sophistication than
infant laughter, but a youngster
who from babyhood has been
merry and unafraid of people
soon learns to enjoy adults; re
member, be kind, firm and gentle
with your baby’s emotions.

The Rev. Harry V. Richardson,
chaplain and director of religious
activities at Tuskegee Institute
in Alabama was the speaker at
the “Religion in Life” convoca
tion Tuesday morning at 10
o’clock in the Student Union
ballroom.
Dr. Richardson who was an in
timate friend of the late George
Washington Carver gave some of
the highlights in Mr. Carver’s
life. Dr. Richardson was with
Mr. Carver when he died. In ad
dition to the facts he gave about
George Carver, Dr. Richardson
told us some of his aspirations,
his defeats and his triumps.
The fact that George Washing
ton Carver could rise from the
status of being the son of a lowly
slave girl to that of a world-wide
famous scientist is a credit both
to his race and American democ
racy. Dr. Richardson attributed
most of Mr. Carver’s success to
his religious attitude and his
simplicity and generosity in deal
ing with people. Each time Mr.
Carver entered his laboratory he
would take the object of his ex
periment, for instance the peanut,
study it and then repeat this
little prayer “Mr. Creator, why
did you make it?” After that
prayer his experimentations nev
er failed to bring another pro
duct. George Washington Carver
never accepted any payment or
reward from anyone he had
helped which shows true work
ing religion.
Rev. Mr. Richardson attended
Western Reserve University, of
Cleveland, Ohio; the Divinity
School of Harvard University,
and received a Ph. D. degree in
sociology and religion at Drew
University.
