FIRST STEP The Martin company Monday announced
in Baltimore, Md., that in the next 10 years it will be
possible to assemble space stations housing up to 50 men
in long-lasting orbits 300 miles above the earth. This photo
illustrates the first in a series of steps necessary to obtain
the station in space three tubular sections which unfold
into large compartments to house men, instruments and
laboratory equipment. During launch into orbit these sec
tions are folded together on top of the Saturn booster. The
large umbrella-shaped structure is a solar power collector.

School Official
Fights Trend to
Lefthandedness
Wheeler, Tex. -(UPD- There
are more lefthanded people
in the world than there should
be, claims school superintend
ent H. W. Wiley.
Wiley is convinced the
world would be a better place
if everyone used his right
hand to eat, write and per
form most feats. So for the
past 16 years he has waged
a personal war against left
handedness. His claim that there are
more lefthanders than there
should be is based on statistics
that showed 3 per cent of the
population was lefthanded a
generation ago, while the
count is now 20 per cent
among first graders.
Front Page New
"I regard this as front page
news in a righthanded world,"
Wiley said.
"Handedness is acquired,
and it can be changed without
harmful effects far into life,"
Wiley claimed.
Sometimes lefthanders be
come anti-social because most
devices from can openers to
rip cords are designed for
righthanders, he said. Wiley
is surveying inmates of Texas
reformatories to determine if
there is a relationship between
lefthandedness and crime.
A study of 17,000 Indians
in the Southwest convinced
Wiley that only those cor
rupted by civilization are left-
hand to any measurable ex
tent.

Kansas City, Mo. -IUPD- The
hair brush, applied sharply to
the child's rear, apparently is
on the way back to a position
of respectability with consci
entious parents.
It already has the approval
of a prominent psychiatrist.
Dr. A. H. Chapman, of the
psychiatric faculty of the Uni
versity of Kansas Medical
school, also called for the es
tablishment of the "Three
L's," along with the "Three
R's" in bringing up children.
Equally as important as
"Reading, 'Riting and 'Rith
metic," he said, are "Love,
Limitations and Let-Them-Grow-Up."
The absence of deficit of
any one of the three leads to
some distortion, small or great
in character structure, the
physician said.
The hair brush comes in, as
an emergency measure, in en-
forcement of limitations.
Chapman recommended that
it be wielded sharply against
the bare derriere of a child
bent across the parent's knee
in the time-honored tradition.
The spanking should b e
given "with an attitude of
firm execution of justice, with
perhaps a touch of justified
indignation." Chapman urged
also that it be given in the
privacy of whatever house
hold spot has succeeded the
woodshed. Close the door, he
said, so that the aggrieved
youngster's yowls cannot be
heard, or at least will be
blurred to the ears of the sib
lings and neighborhood children.
Along with his "do's" Chap
man offered a list of don'ts in
discipline.
Don't Threaten
Don't threaten a child with
loss of love. Such phrases as
"no one can love a boy who
misbehaves" have no place in
the well-run woodshed.
Never threaten the child
with abandonment. Chapman
believes references to orphan
ages and reform schools have
replaced the ancient "bogey
man" in the vocabulary of
some parents.
Never threaten a child with
physical mutilation. Don't tell
him that if he hits little broth
er again his hand will "shrivel
up and fall off."
-Don't use "guilt-slinging,"
which in Chapman s view is
the most damaging method of
all and probably the most
widely used.
Guilt-slinging has many va
riations, such as "What did I
ever do to deserve a child as
bad as you?" . . . "You're
driving me to an early grave."
'My sickness is due to
all the trouble you've given
me." ... or "You've made
my life a hell on earth."
"Such treatment, the psy
chiatrist said, "leaves the
child convinced that he is a
bad, guilt-ridden person."
-Don't tell a child he is an
inferior, inadequate person.

Lake Creek Rancheros
The second meeting of the
Lake Creek Rancheros 4-H
Horse club was held Jan. 7
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Larry Perry. Seven members

gels injured.
The next meeting will be

munity hall. Refreshments
wore served by Mrs. Perry.
Gail Perry,
Reporter.
But Chapman also offered
comfort for parents who trans
gress in such matters and
probably will continue to do
so on occasion.
"Most parents in moments
of anger will use one or more
of these methods," he said,
"and their occasional use,
though unwise, probably does
little harm. It is the continual
or frequent use of these meth
ods that causes emotional
damage and personality mal
formation. Scolding Recommended
On the plus side in disci
pline, Chapman recommend
ed scolding and several other
penalties ahead of the hair
brush treatment.
"Scolding has its place In
the correction of children," he
wrote for the benefit of fam
ily doctors who may be called
upon for advice. "The disap
proving tone and the angry
reproof are elementary tools
of discipline." But he warned
that the scolding should avoid
"threats of loss of love, aban
donment, and the like, and
should condemn the mischiev
ous act, not the child."
"The general theme is, 'You
are a good boy, but you did
a bad thing. I disapprove of
the bad thing and am scolding
you for it, but I do not dis
approve of you as a person.' "
Other disciplinary measures
recommended by the psychia
trist in an article in GP Maga
zine, published by the Ameri
can Academy of General Prac
tice, included assignment of
extra work and depriving the
child of some favorite activity
for a short time.
