And the most distressing thing about fear is that so often it is not recognised as fear. If fear were wiped out, failure would come to few. This disastrous trait sometimes be gins with early childhood and remains with one through life. I picked up on the train what appeared to be an advertising pam phlet, but saw it was the magazine called "Talk" running an article entitled “Chldhood Fears.'* It has much of real help and I quote it herewith: *’ 'What can 1 do to help my child overcome his fear?' is perhaps the most common question that parents ask. Fears of the dark, of animals, of water, of imaginary creatures, are commonplace among children . . . habit. "But children's fears ate not bad habits, ami each one ha« a basis which patents should try to understand. "Psychologists have found that merely trying to talk the child out of his fears is of little avail. Help tn acquiring _ _ «kill«, and the confidence that comes from them, they point out, are among the best means of dispelling fears that arise through a general sense of inadequacy. % "In combating specific fears, psychologists tell us. nothing is so effective as having the chlki come to grips with the situation that causes them. But this should be done by degrees and with the help of an older person tn whom the child has confidence . . . "Parents should avoid using a child's fears as a method of discip line or punishment. Nothing is so Injurious to his mental health oi his sense of security. The 'bad mail' in the cellar may do mother temporary service at the cost of irreparable injury to Johnnie. "If you want your child to grow up self-confident and self reliant, don't play on his fears or wait for him to ’grow out’ of them. Help him to overcome them now.” SET VOV FREE** TIME HAS COME TO SAY FAREWELL ITH this issue of the Southern Oregon Miner, the partnership existing between Fred Miltenberger and O. G. Crawford since March 1 of this year will be concluded. This move has not been precipitated by any disagreement between partners but due to the fact that the second named party has purchased a paper in east ern Oregon and must be on the job there Monday morn ing. This necessitates a quick move, an almost sudden severing of ties which have bound us, as we had hoped securely, to Ashland and does not permit us to thank Here are some arresting sentence« sifted from a letter sent by in person all those good friends who have made our Carl Wallner of Fort Worth.

Our adult population has been made well aware of the nation’s need for scrap and we realize that the win ning of the war may depend on turning in enough scrap. ■ But many people continue to postpone doing anything! much about it. But when the enthusiasm of school children is in-! jected into this campaign the whole attitude toward 1 scrap is apt to change. If they can’t do it any other way, the children will shame us into making that long-post poned scrap hunt. If the plan for putting this job in the hands of school children is carried out intelligently—if they have goals to shoot at and awards for outstanding per formance—there is little doubt that even those child ren who don’t know what the war is all about will see the job is done in record time.
