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.

More Schools Close as Thousands
Of New Flu Cases, Deaths Mount
By UNITED PRESS
School officials slammed
doors shut on the Asian flu
virus today with thousands of
new cases reported and the
death toll slowly mounting.
Fojlowing the pattern begun
last summer, Asian flu made
heaviest inroads in institutions
for the retarded where defenses
already were softened.
Despite emergency stopgap
measures, calls for additional
help, and accelerated vaccina
tion programs, the flu has now
claimed more than 270 lives.
At the Dixon, 111., School for
the Mentally Retarded, two new
deaths Tuesday brought the epi
demic total to nine. And 70 new
cases were reported among the
helpless inmates.
A 12h death was reported at
the Pennhurst School for the
Mentally Retarded near Phila
delphia, and a similar Califor
nia institution has reported the
death of nine inmates.
Nine-Year-Old Dies
Officials at the Southern
Colony Training School near
Union Grove, Wis., reported the
flu has cropped up in 13 of the
14 cottages on the grounds, and
Asian Flu complications have
taken the life of a 9-year-old
boy.
A United Press count across
the nation and its territories
showed that as of midnight Tues
day 272 deaths could be attribut
ed to Asian flu, other types of
influenza, and complications
from both of the illnesses.
New York state's 57 deaths
topped the nation, followed by
Pennsylvania with 52, Califor
nia with 29, and Michigan with
227.
Elswhere, deaths in Louisiana
numbered 21, Illinois 15, Colo
rado 10, Wisconsin, Hawaii and
Ohio, 9 each, Iowa 8, Utah 7,
Kentucky 6, 3 in New Jersey
and Indiana, 2 in Connecticut,
and 1 each in Arizon, Oklahoma,
Oregon, Washington and the
District of Columbia.
The disease had increased so
in some states it was easier to
get the picture in terms of per
centages, 15 per cent affected
in Colorado and 7 per cent in
Wyoming.
New Slate Total
Connecticut reported 5.587
new cases Tuesday morning,
bringing the state total to 62,

were alerted and the boys were
taken into custody about 10 p.m.

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." He
referred to freight charges in
volved in transportation of
"alumina" to the plants and the
hauling of ingots to rolling mills.
Reynolds said a few years ago
freight on alumina from Arkan
sas was $8 per ton, but that now
it was $113 a ton. The metals
executive also said shortage of
power and the tax structure
would contribute to possible
confinement of Reynolds pro
duction at the plants.
