Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins (Reenter and Tribune Syndicate, 1961) Darkness is one of the un- conquerable things over which man has never exerted anv degree of mastery. It still reigns nearly as absolute to day as when the human race first trod the face of the earth. From the very first the night has been a time of mys tery and fear, when men and beast cowered in the farthest roaches of their cover and waited for the light of day to You for your interest in our new home. Your response to our invitation to attend our open house was very gratifying. We hope you will come in again, soon. IT IS OUR PLEASURE TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNERS OF THE "HOUSE OF MONEY" CONTEST.

Mais, Msitef dispel the fear that comes with darkness. The campfire was probably the first, followed by torches, candles, lamps and today with electric light globes. But even these modern light makers are feeble and ineffective, ex cept in extremely local areas and restricted conditions. We can adequately light a room; a hall, or even a football field. We can, and do place lights along our streets that illumi nale somewhat the roadway and the nearby buildings. We even nave streets that we probably proclaim are "as light as day." But overhead, and all around is darkness. crowding in-ready to become absolute the second some me chanical thing fails, or some' one pulls a switch. Man has tried hard lo do something about the weather. He has not been very success ful; probably never will be; but little has been done to conquer the power of darkness. The poet says "the nicht has a thousand eyes - the dav but one," but the eyes of nicht are only flecks that give Diti- fully little light. A peculiar fact about dav and night is that the Antarctic and Arctic regions with their long winter nights, actually have no more night than the equatorial regions. The total length of the nights for a given locality equals the total length of the days for the same locality and is the same for all parts of the world. At every moment one half of the world has night. . Time of Rest For man, night is the period of natural rest. Some animals, especially equipped, are more active at night than by day Nature has given them eyes that arc adapted to the faint light of evening and morning. Some nocturnal animals are distressed if caught abroad in full daylight. The owl, night- hawk, opossum and (lying squirrels are typical examples of these creatures. Figuratively, we use the word night to designate per iods of intellectual ignorance. I he poet speaks of it as ar interval o( sorrow or death The electrical engineer and the night-watchman look upon night differently, but neither can do very much about it. the power in darkness is one of the most perplexing and potcnl forces with which men have to contend, and (here is little chance that any thing stronger than an electric bulb ever will lessen its world-wide scope.

RodJSn. Mrs. T.C. My child is a nervous wreck from the way Quecnie teases her at school. Queeme H, Hazel is just a crybaby and a rotten sport. She can't take a joke. Mrs. T.C. My daughter, Hazel, is 12 years old and in the seventh grade. She s high- strung by nature, but in addi tion she s been terribly upset by the death of her grand father who lived with us since she was a baby. So what Queenie and the other girls do to her at school is the last straw. She's at home now with a fever, and tells me she can t bear lo return to school. I discussed this with the guidance teacher. I'd like to know why Queenie picks on Hazel. For example, yesterday Hazel brought a new red leather pocketbook to school. It had been a birthday gift from her grandfather. While she was showing it to some body, Quecnie and her gang grabbed it and began to play ball with it. Queenie H. Hazel asks for it. She either snubs the rest of us, sits there by herself and won't even say hello, or else she shows off. Ask the other kids. I'm not the only one who tries to get a rise out of her. Why pick on me? She's not friendly to anyone unless she wants to talk about her presents, her clothes or her marks. Once we asked her to turn one end of a jump rope and she said no, she wanted to read. So we never ask her now. About her procketbook, it was just for kicks. We weren't going to hurt it. But she screamed and got hysterical. She has no sense of humor. She takes everything so seri ously.' She's just a wet blank et. The Councili Teasing is one-way fun and, as such, is sadistic. Real fun is two-way. And teasing is a byproduct of unsupervised play, which in this case exposes Hazel's hypersensitivity and Queenie's over-aggressiveness. Mrs. C. is right in bringing this uneven battle to the fore. Both teaser and teased are hereby revealed as having personality problems which may be dealt with in the protective environment of school and home. Hazel's with drawal tendencies and social awkwardness makes her a "sitting duck" for Queenie who must bully away her own hurts on others. Each can sure ly be helped in the guidance classes. But the cruelty of leasing can stand special emphasis. Queenie might be sobered by the tale of Kurt, a 12-year-old refugee from Germany, at tending a public school in New York. Victini of consid erable suffering, the boy de veloped enuresis (bed-welting) and was extremely self-conscious about it. Above all, he lidn't want his classmates or friends to know of this. One day the teacher left the class in the charge of two monitors, a boy and a girl. Kurt overheard them check ing off each pupil with the words: "He does ... he doesn't." When he asked one of them what they meant, the answer was "Thai's for us to know and you to find out," a familiar childhood taunt. Kurt was sure they referred to his weakness and, at home that day, he tried to hang himself. He was rescued in time. Eventually he learned the children were merely checking on who wears glass es! Much damage can result from piling torment on one who may already be weighed down by slings and arrows which don't show. Queenie and Hazel are as sumedly still normal kids. Mrs. C. has called attention to each girl's trends. In so do ing she Is helping to nip be havior which, i( carried to ex cess, would lead lo warped adulthood.
