Our Children
By Mrs. W. B. Davis
The hour for a child’s retire
ment will depend somewhat up
on the habits of the rest of the
family. If father must go to work
early then the child should go to
bed early. If, on the other hand,
daddy is on night work and must
sleep late in the morning, the
young child’s bedtime may be
later and his rising time corre
spondingly later.
Children who must be in school
should be in bed not later than
eight. Many a mother sees that
her child is overactive and rest
less, then hears him say he is not
sleepy. Therefore, she thinks
that he is not tired, that if he
needed sleep he would go to bed
readily. Such a mother does not
realize that every child who does
not want to go to bed, may be
the one who needs the most sleep.
Unwillingness or open refusal
to go to bed, if there such be,
should not necessarily cause fami
ly consternation of any sort. Nor
should it result in permission to
“Stay up just a little longer”. Bed
time should be bedtime and con
sistant regularity means that ex
ceptions to the rule are not to be
expected.
The only way to ensure satis
factory sleep habits is to see that
the time for sleep is regularly
adhered to, until the child will
grow sleepy at the established
time. It definitely takes two
years or more to establish good
sleep habits. For that reason,
regularity in the sleep program
must be maintained for the ma
jor part of the childhood.
Urban League
by Katherine Thompson
Troop 21 had a lovely party for
troop 7 at the Urban League June
6. Ths was an inter-racial party.
It was a well arranged affair
J which the girls did themselves.
It climaxed the work on the Folk
Dance badge — and it did just
that.
The invitations, decorations, re
freshments and evening’s enter
tainment were all planned by the
group.
Mr. George Randol took several
pictures of the group in action.
The pictures tell a story that is
real to the children.
The 4H girls are looking for
ward to giving their demonstra
tions at the 4H meeting Friday
at Ag. Campus. Two teams will
give demonstrations on how to
prepare fruits attractively for the
table.
Vacation time is here and we
do hope some of the children have
saved their pennies for the camp
period.
Vacation Church School will
open Monday .June 16, at 9:30
a.m. at the Urban League. The
program will last for one week.
We do hope the children will all
attend.

Howard (Smoky) Molden has
really been making the local boys
sit up and take notice.
He is pitching for Sandy’s this
season and his “speed ball” is be
coming famous. He pitched his
team to a 12-2 victory over the
highly rated House of David team
recently at the Sherman Field
diamond. “Smokey” travels with
the team out in the state for
games and has gleaned his share
of the laurels.
It’s rumored that he is groom
ing his young son, Rodney Steven,
for the ball game too.
