It's A Grand Image
Like Mother-in-law jokes and cracks about women driv-
ers, the picture of the American father--playing witti the
children's toys on Christmas morning:-periists in 0ur folk-
lore.
At best it's an unflatteing image of D d--and li e the
other stale Jokes the conclusion drawn is unfair. Educa-
tors have accepted the role of toys in many facets of
a child s development. The first advances a child makes in
coordinatiOn . . . in good grooming., . in playing together
witlt other children.., most often have a toy as the moti-
vating factor. •
What better reason for Dad---and MOther as well to
take a hearty and active interest in their children's toys!
This interest Should start with the selection of the proper
toys for your children and should, include full participation
with the kids as they learn the rules.., follow the instruc-
tions.., put together the new toys they've received.
You'll be surprised at how n uch you can learn 'about
how your own children are developing, and how much fun
you'll have in the bargain. Take the parents out of play-
time ?
Humbug!
Every so often--it s astonishing how frequently it haI -
pens--something takes place which makes this scrivener's
chest swell witll pride at being a resident of Mason County,
to be glad he lives in a community with such a soft and
generous ]mart.
The recent book drive for American servicemen in Viet-
Nam was the most recent example. It was amazing how
quickly the populace responded to this almost "instant ac-
ti n project. Time was very short, yet in a matter of three
or four days over 2,000 books were donated and within a
Week of the drive's beginning,ttiese books were being read
in the war zone. ,
Christmas trees contributed by local residents found
their way to the fighting men overseas.
Earlier this year the Wi9 this Community
opened its heart to the Buddy Franklin kidney
project was one of the most beautiful examples of
all.
l ach Christmas for tile past 20 years public contribu-
tions provide baskets of food and toys to neighbors whose
lot has been little and whose means are small. Some 75 to
90 families are helped annually at the Christmas season by
this project, conducted by the 40 & 8 in conjunction with
this newspaper.
We're now in the midst of the 20th annual Christmas
basket project. About half of the $1,000 needed has beefi
contributed at this point. We know this warm-hearted
comnmnity will see to it that the last half of the needed
fund Is raised.
Because we're that kind of a community!
