THE CONqi KMT OF FEAR
Unwarranted fear probably causes more distress than any other
trait known to human beings. 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

confidence that comes from them, they point out, are among the best
means of dispelling fears that arise through a general sense of

"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

"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.”

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

securely, to Ashland and does not permit us to thank

WAR JOBS FOR CHILDREN
HE plan for putting the 30,000,000 school children
of this nation to work on the salvage campaign is
apt to be the step which will make a big success out of
a campaign which so far has been very disappointing
in its results.
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.

CUTTING DOWN ON DELIVERIES
t t NTIL the war is over, unusually fast delivery ser-
vice by stores should no longer be looked upon as
a sign of an outstanding merchant.
All stores which use delivery trucks have been or
dered to conserve them to the limit, since there will be
no more such trucks available until after the war. They
must do everything possible to make their tires last
for the duration.
The merchants of Ashland are trying to carry out
this order to the best of their ability. But if one mer-
