Storybook Buying Subject of Study Ithaca, N.Y. (ID Some ad vice on how to buy storybooks for children comes from the New York State College of home eco nomics at Cornell University. A graduate study by Mrs. Dan- I iel Dato, Woodstock, Vt., shows that three to five year olds pre fer pastels and dark shades, rather than bright colors in their storybook pictures. In subject matter, this age group wants stories about familiar animals, and mechanical objects. Other subjects, in order of child pref erence, are nature, children, adults, family and baby, a child, and unfamiliar animals. There is one exception: rural children in nursery schools place unfa miliar animals such as elephants and lions much higher on their preference list. Mrs. Dato, who wants to write i for children, checked the read ing choice of 60 youngsters, three to five years old. in schools in Woodstock and Ithaca, N.Y. She said the children liked photographs better than black and white drawings, and fanci ful art such as a walking spoon, more than the realistic. 4 George Washington's mother served this sauce over hot cakes many years ago: Set the temper ature at 200 degrees, use a heavy skillet or saucepan and mix 1 cup strained honey with ,2 cup maple syrup.

Reynolds Said Forced To Curb Production : Portland (IP) Reynolds Met als Co. plants at Troutdale and Longview, Wash., probably will confine their operations to ingot production "for some time" be cause of high freight rates, 'com pany President Richard S. Rey nolds Jr., said here Tuesday. "Right now," Reynolds ex plained, "freight costs more than power at these two plants."
