Nation's Children Read More Says Publisher; TV is Help Sunday, November 13, 1955 By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Once upon a time, after television became a national pastime, some pub lishers of children's books wor ried for fear Junior's reading days were over. But the nation's children are bigger bookworms than ever, said P. Edward Ernest, vice president in charge of children's picture books at Grosset and Dunlap, the largest publisher of juvenile literature. Ernest said children's book sales are much greater than they were before television. In the past 10 years, publishers have brought out a whole raft of 25 cent picture boooks. And in this price bracket alone the industry has sold a record-breaking 800, 000,000 volumes. They now are snapped up at the rate of 80, 000,000 to 90,000,000 million a year. Ernest said there are several reasons why children's books sell well. TV didn't kill off reading as some publishers feared. His company, for instance, reports an astronomical sale of a Davy Crocket story 3,000,000 copies gone before you could say "king of the wild frontier." "The kids hear a program, then want to read the story," said Ernest. Children's books also are Hop Indian Designs Now Used for Fabric Albuquerque, N. M. (U.R) There's an American Indian as well as East Indian influence in home furnishings. Authentic Hopi Indian de signs are used for drapery and upholstery fabrics by Harlan and Lorena Embrey, an -artist and home economics major re spectively. The two spent years gathering the designs from tribes of the Southwest, and the result is the Nizonih studios here, de voted to reproducing the pat terns by silk-screening and trans parent dyes. They use any type of cloth which has a flat surface and the sizing removed, and say none of the bright colored designs will fade so long as they are on washable material. Patterns bear such picturesque names as "Feathered Serpent" and "Corn Dance." Lady Elks Lady Elks will meet Tuesday, November 15 at 1:30 p.m., when a salad luncheon will be served. The afternoon will be devoted to cards. Mrs. Mabel Wright, Mrs. Larry Schade and Mrs. Roland Smith will be hostesses. Wives of Elks lodge members are invited. cheaper. They are more acc.' ble. Once sold mostly through book and department stores, they now are available wher ever magazines are sold, wheth er it be drug stores or super markets. Children's books have more color. Ernest said the writing is better, as more top authors and artists turn to juveniles. Classics Loved Most children's books still are bought by grown-ups, many of them as gift items. Fall and win ter are the heavy buying season, but Ernest said that the 25-cent books, published monthly, sell steadily the year round. Although today's children want to read about the heroes of radio, and television, they love the classics. "Cinderella's going strong aft er 100 years," said Ernest. "The Bobbsey Twins' series have been best sellers for narly 50. 'Black Eeauty' still is in demand." They would rather read ad venture than anything else "they like mayhem," said Ern est with a laugh. Ernest said there's a trend now to publishing books which help to educate the child his company's "Young Reader's Dic tionary" is an example. "It is my own feeling this trend is fine," said the publish ing official. "But the kids al ways will want to read 'Jack the Giant Killer' and 'The Wizard of Oz'."

It's easy on the pocketbook, too, advises Inez Eckblad, Washington State College Extension foods spe cialist. The secret of success with stews, Miss Ecklad says, is long slow cooking. Another is browning the cubes of lean beef on all sides in a lit tle fat before adding water and cooking in a covered pan until the meat is tender enough to cut with a fork. A third secret is skillful sea soning with onions, tomatoes, celery tops, parsley or other fa vorite herbs and seasonings. If the stew is too thin by the time the meat is tender, here's how to make it thicker. Mix a little flour to a smooth paste with "an equal quantity of water, and add a little of the stew to this paste. Then stir the mixture slowly into the rest of the stew and cook until smooth and thick.- This pre vents lumpy gravy. Once a stew is made, it may be served in many different ways for variety. Try it with a border of riced potatoes of flaky rice, or with dumplings. Or make it into a meat pie under a lid of biscuits, pastry or mashed potatoes. Scallop it with macaroni or spaghetti. Or use it as a filling for hot biscuits in beef shortcake, Miss Eckblad suggests. MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN 13 Specialist Advises On Training Children In Rules of Safety Champaign, 111. (U.R) Set up safety rules for children and help save their lives. "Children who obey authority the school patrolman, police man, teacher or bus driver are most likely to return home safely," said O. L. Hogsett, safe ty" specialist at the University of Illinois Agriculture college. Youngsters who walk to school must be taught where and how to cross the street or road, he said. If there are no sidewalks, Hogsett said, parents should train the child to walk on the left-hand shoulder of the road so he can see oncoming cars. And a bright jacket or cap will help the drivers see the child. Bicyclers must be taught fo obey traffic signs, and to be ready to give way to thoughtless or careless drivers. They should pedal in the right lane, close to the curb or the road's edge. Children who ride a school bus should be taught: 1. Obey the driver. 2. Be careful of traf fic when entering or leaving the bus there's always a chance a motorist won't stop when the bus does. . ' Wooden cutting boards and unfinished counter tops that have been stained can" be clean ed by scrubbing them with reg ular scouring powder and a sudsy chlorine solution. V Let Children Paint Advice of Specialist Urbana, 111. (U.R) If your children's toys need painting, let the children do it, says Milli cent Martin fi the University of Illinois. . You can't expect a perfect paint job from a five-year-old, said the child specialist. But you can expect him to learn what has to be done to make thingp attractive, what is involved in painting and hov to clean up brushes and himself. He also will learn to take better care of the toys. 1 An average - sized banana, when sliced or diced, will fill a cup', or, if mashed, it will make about half a cup of pulp.
