As We Live
By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D.
Mew Neighbors Cold;
She Misses Friendship
It is certainly unpleasant to
live among neighbors who seem
to turn a cold shoulder to new
comers. A woman writes:
(Q) "Last August we moved
into this neighborhood be
cause the school here is con
sidered excellent and we have
two children of school age.
Not one of my neighbors has
come to call or paid any atten
tion io us since we came. They
speak when I meet them, but
I wonder if they would if I
didn't speak first. Their chil
dren are friendly, enough with
ours, but I don't understand
their parents' attitude toward
us. Several months ago an
other family moved here, and
the wife tells me no one has
paid any attention to her
either. The neighborhood
where we lived before was
very friendly, and I miss the
companionship. Have you any
solution to the problem?"
(A) According to standards of
the past, it was socially correct
for peorjle in a neighborhood to
call on a new
family shortly
after they
moved in. But
times have
changed. Peo
ple are much
more casual
m -: .a
I about social
con ventions
than they used
Dr. Huxlock
to be. In fact,
tney often ignore them entirely.
Before concluding that your
neighbors are trying to snub
you, it would be wise to test out
their feelings. Give a neighbor
hood "at-home" some Saturday
or Sunday afternoon. Invite ail
of your neighbors and their
children, and serve simple re
freshments.
If there are too many neigh
bors to get into your house
two successive days or two suc
cessive week-ends. But be sure
to send out all the invitations
at the same time so that, if the
neighbors compare notes, they
won't find that some did not
receive invitations.
. This, of course, is not strictly
correct. But, as the school in
this new neighborhood is so
good, it is worth it to do what
you can to be on friendly terms
with your neighbors so you can
live happily where your chil
dren can get a good schooling.

MEXICO CITY CROWDED
Mexico City (U.R) Mexico's
Tourist Bureau is asking visitors
to stay away from Mexico City.
The bureau says a current travel
boom has crowded all first-class
hotels and people who have to
live in second-class quarters
might get a bad impression of
the country.

Teacher Gives Rules
For Easing Housework
Carbondale, 111-. (U.R) House
wives can save time and energy
on any household task if they
only will analyze and improve
their way of performing it.
And they don't need to be
time-and-motion study experts to
do it, says Mrs. AgneSy Ridley
of Southern Illinois university's
home economics department.
Here are seven simple rules
Mrs. Ridley xlrew up: .
Use two hands whenever pos
sible. ; ; - '. '
Arrange utensils, materials
and containers close to the point
of use. ..
. Have work well-lighted.
Sit down to work as much as
possible.
Use feet and other parts of
the body as well as the hands in
doing chores.
Choose utensils and household
tools designed to fit the hand.
Develop a rhythm for every
task and learn to make curved
instead of straight-lined motions
that involve sharp or sudden
changes of direction. .
Your perfect servant. . ;
