Horseback? Riding Is Becoming Popular All Over County—Entries Close on May 17

Young and old, rich and p o o r -Americana as never before are tak­ing to horseback riding. Riding is no longer looked upon as a sport or recreation for the aristocratic and privileged few. No, indeed! This equestrienne sport has shaken off caste and is becoming one of the most beloved hcfbbiea that has swept the- nation.

And why not? What human be­ing can fall to be richly rewarded by an outing on horseback, whether that outing be but an hour on a rented nag, or a day spent on a beautifully-mannered creature with a pedigree that would make one grow self-conscious of his own un­certain genealogy? These outings, that «an take one out Into the ver­dant spring, the magic of a summer night, or a day in autumn that beck-gns in its gaily tattered, gypsy-like brightness, are for everyone who has the call to mount a horse

More Books Read Calls For Increase In Pulpwood Needs

One important reason for contin­uing high demand for pulpwood was revealed 'this week through the dis­closure that 50 percent of the Amer­ican public are reading books today, with a good prospect that this boom in reading will continue at least at present levels for years to come.

These conclusions are the result of a nation-wide survey conducted by the Psychological Corporation in con­junction with the Hopf Institute of Management. Approximately 4,000 men and women, all above the ages of 15, of varying levels of education and income, living in towns from Or-ono, Maine, to Eugene, Oregon, were asked 63 questions by 235 inter-, viewers. "Active" Readers Are 50 Percent

The survey Indicated that 50 per­cent of the people were "active" readers—had read a book within the month. An additional - 21 percent were "inactive" readers—had read a book within the year. . Of the books published it was found that 94 percent are read by 50 percent of the people. I t was also learned that 71 percent of all college graduates are active readers.

Questioned concerning the subject matter, "active" readers picked the Bible as leading the list of remem­bered books read; Forever Amber came second. Fiction seemed most popular among readers with adven­ture and rnyi*t<*Fy Stories leading. Gain in Reading

Concerning the possibility that the $500,000,000 book business of the na­tion during 1045 was a war-time boom, the report said:

"Everything in the survey points to a long-term gain in reading, and therefore in purchasing of books."

The rapid expansion of book buy­ing and reading habits during the war resulted in huge increases in paper allotments to meet this de­mand. Present requirements for peeled spruce, fir and hemlock are in part a guage of expanding current and future pulpwood needs, not only of America's growing book industry, but of all industrits.

Child Delinquency By Miss L Payne At Men's Club

"Child Delinquency the Result of Adult Delinquency" was the subject of a most interesting and thoughtful address by Miss Lilla E. Payne, sis­ter of former trustee John Payne, be­fore the Presbyterian Men's Club on Monday evening at the last of the supper meetings of the club for the season.

Miss Payne is a retired teacher and spoke from an experience in teach­ing in district schools in this area and for many years In the schools of New Jersey, where she attained a high reputation as, a youth In­structor. Like many who have made a study of the subject,' educators, judges and police, she placed the blame on the inadequacy and neglect of the parents. After her address there was an interesting discussion.

Miss Payne pointed out that many parents do not understand why their children are not A pupils in school and she answered this by saying that all parents are not A parents

"Are the standards here high enough so that a high class student would feel at home?" Miss Payne asked. "We do not want the chil­dren too good, nor do we want them too bad. Too many children are spoiled and it is hard to strike a happy medium.

Children see us breaking a law and while they may not break that law, they may break another. Parents can expect children to break laws when they break them themselves. The question is to find out why chil­dren do these things and then try to set them aright."

FARMERS DEMAND $5 FOR MILK JULY 1

A demand for "well over $5 per hundredweight for milk beginning July 1," has been formulated by rep­resentatives of more than *0,000 dairy farmers.

The producers' demands will be presented to officials of the United States Department of Agriculture and the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets at a hearing on proposed amendments to the New York City Milk Marketing Orders in Utica May 1,4.

Saratoga to Get Old Carrier's Silver Service ^ I

Before the sJreWft carrier Sara­toga sailed from San Francisco re­cently bound for a rendezvous with Wi atom bomb off Bikini atoll the handsome silver service given to ship bv the city of Saratoga Springs was removed.

The silver service will be returned to Saratoga Springs and placed in a museum. The request. to have the service returned was made by the Saratoga Springs Chamber of Com­merce headed by Frederick Tarrant.

An Associated Press story "from San Francisco recently said that "So long, Sara" was flashed from the units of the Pacific Fleet in the har­bor as the old aircraft carrier passed and that a Navy blimp circled over­head. The story, continued:

From the city's hills crowds of spectators gathered to watch this battle-worn veteran's departure, pos­sibly for the last time.

But some who served aboard the Saratoga were confident she would survive the blasting' force of the atomic bomb.

"The Japs couldn't sink us and no Atom bomb is going to do it," de­clared Kenneth Church of San Fran­cisco, who served 25 months aboard her, as he watched the crew cast off lines. I Nostalgic tears ran unashamedly down the cheeks of other Navy vet­erans who had served aboard the big carrier.

They recalled with pride how the Saratoga, at one time only Ameri­can carrier operating in the Pacific, had survived Japanese attacks from Guadalcanal until Japan surrendered —how she was torpedoed twice, and a t Iwo Jima sustained the heaviest Kamikaze attack the enemy had been able to muster.

ART OF GETTING ALONG WITH OTHER CHILDREN

COME children are born with ^ the ability to know how oth­ers feel. Like the little girl of three who was taken with the measles in the middle of a hot summer. Feeling miserable and wanting the comfort of being held on her father's lap, she first thoughtfully asked, " I s it too hot for peoples to hold p«oples on their l ap?"

Other children seem com­pletely unaware of anyone's feelings but their own. The mistake is to suppose that they choose to be that way. For it is as much of a handi­cap In getting along with others to be "people blind"

^>as tt Is In music to be tone deaf. The person who Is un-. able to distinguish musical tones doesn't go in for a career in singing. But the child without any natural aptitude for perceiving the other fellow's reactions can't live entirely by him­self. He has to learn to think of himself in relation to oth­ers—and it Isn't easy. The problem used to be con­

sidered a moral one — such a child was just selfish and was often punished for disregarding others. It is more fair to the child, and more effective, to tackle this problem as a teach­ing and learning one. Begin by emptying your mind of censure. It isn't pleasant to see a child think always of himself first, but until he has been taught to^do otherwise you can't blame rtim

for this any more than you can blame him because his hair is straight instead of curly.

In the sphere of conduct, a child learns to do wjhat is expected of him through pleasurable experiences. So If a child Is born without in­stinctive awareness of oth­ers he has to learn to con­sider them by finding out that it Is pleasant and re­warding to do so. A child of two or three shonld be given opportunities dally to learn that It makes him feel good to do things for mother, to give up something he wants to the baby, to have respect for grandfather 's naptime, to take a neighbor's dog for a walk, to pick some flowers for the sick woman down the street . His reward is praise and approval. However, a . little child shouldn't be asked to make sacrifices be­yond his understanding, such as giving away a prized toy to a visling child. That doesn't make him feel good and he knows It. Families often make the mis­

take, too, of letting the natural­ly thoughtful child do all the kindly things, such as- wash­ing the dishes for a neighbor whose baby is sick, or planning a surprise for a guest. Parents should make suggestions to the child who doesn't think of them by himself, but in such a tact­ful way that he thinks they are his own ideas.
