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'."

Rules for Stew Given
By Foods Specialist
Pullman A piping hot savory
beef stew with rich brown gravy
and meat cooked to delicious
tenderness will make almost any
family call for seconds. 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.

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.

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.
