2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, March 6, 1958 Homework Can Be Fun For School Children Uniess you're that rare par- ' ent who is raising child geniuses, you're probably well caught up in the homework problem by; this time and have come to dread what used to be called the child- ren’s hour — that moment when! you have to ‘ask “Is your home.’ work‘ finished?” While you can't do your child’s homework for him, it is’ up to you to do everything in! your power to make it easy for him by providing him with a good work place, the quiet he! 5! needs and a bit of help over the rough spots. If your child works in his bedrcom, try to provide hi mwith a desk and a good light. If no desk is available, a sturdy cardtable will do double duty and makes. a good, wide work surface‘ with room for open books, A clip on light, available for around two dollars, can be moved to whatever corner of the room your child prefers. Beyond these bare essentials, though, there are othr things you can do to make homework more pleasant. Many children like com- pany while they work, This does: n't’mean you have to give up your own free time — you can read or knit in your child’s room while he works, and often, es- pecially with younger children, just your presence will make the study hour more pleasant. Over and above the assign- ments that have to be turned in to the teacher, it's often possible to throw in a little extra learn- ing under the guise of fun. Frac- tions that are a chore during school hours become fun when your daughter divides a recipe in half or a third. Even that old bugbear, volume, can be enjoy- able if your son is constructing a real or imaginary aquarium and calculating how many gallons of water will fill it. If you're buy- i ing a new rug for the living room, paint for your child's bed- | room, or cement for a driveway, let the children take part in the figuring. Besides getting extra practice in arithmetic, they'll see j for themselves that there’s a ‘practical use for the things they are learning: in school, Shopping ean give them practice in both pelthinetle and Castlegar News Published Every Thursday At DS OF THE Member: Canadian Weekly Newspapers Assn.

Many youngsters have trou- ble learning to read aloud pro- perly — they’re either too fast or too slow. Granted, listening to a child read the same story over and over can be pretty tr; ing, but it's necessary. To make it easier on both of you, sit the youngster down with a library book geared to his reading level, and let him read to you while you iron, do the washing, polish floors or some similar task. It will give him added confidence and the results will show up on the next report card.

Certainly here, there has been ‘outstanding development. Today, as never before, the doors of learning are open to all who would enter.

This very age proved, we have the ‘Old Book’ the Bible, Yet it is still wonder- fully up to date and not in the least out moded by our vastly increased knowledge. It is rath- er, proven reliable, for it is never at variance with scienti- fic fact, (only with the THEOR- IES of man). In scores of in- stances, ‘modern discoveries’ con- answer to the problems, perplexi- ties and needs of this world so changed by these advances. The Gospel is still the only solution for the heart of man and it alone can bring forgiveness, comfort, and esting peace. The Gospel alone is the ‘power of God unto Salvation’ that brings cleansing from sin, wipes out h ‘greed and hatred. Yet cerning our were re- corded as fact centuries ago by of travel and learning was fore- told as one of many signs we have today, that Christ's second coming is nigh, ‘Many. shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased.’ The Word of God is still the! though we have increased in knowledge of which is ‘able to make .thee wise unto IMPROVED PEACE OUTLOOK eT RA ROS ea In a 20-mile race, a man would win over a horse because of his endurance.

W. Harris of the All Canada Insurance Federation told mem- bers of the Castlegar Rotary Club here last Wednesday.

Fire losses still claimed a large proportion of the total in- surance bill, but automobile claims now hold first place, he couraged to bring their child: into the Health Unit for this pur- pose. Advice is given to each mother as to methods of avoid- ing much of the dental troubles by the co-operation of both themselves and the child. Recently a two-day c¥nic was held in Castlegar and Kin- naird, at which time 90 children were brought in by their parents. It is noted that even as early as two years, no less than 20 per cent of the children had dental decay, at three years almost half of them, und at five years, six out of seven, It easy to see that prevention of dental disease must begin very early in life— much earlier than we have been ready to realize in the past. It is hoped that more parents will be interested in bringing in chil- dren for this purpose when the Public Health Dentist again visits this community. — For any further ‘informa- tion you could phone the Public Health Nurse at Castlegar 4141.

So it is not suprising to find so many enjoying eggs for break- fast. It is a well known fact that a breakfast ‘containing protein stays with you longer and makes you feel better all morning. Even if you have to count your calor- ies, an egg with its low calorie value of one hundred is tops for your breakfast. Fortunately there are so many ways of cooking eggs, you need never tire of them. The fundamental rule in preparing them is ‘that they should be cooked with low or moderate heat. If cooked at high temperatures, they become tough and leathery, They cool quickly and lose some of their goodness so should always be Served! on a warm plate.
