The radio listener knows the Space Age is here when he hears the news announcer reporting on a moon shot and then, going on to another item, continues "meanwhile, back on earth . . . The belting in this corner is that four-fifths of the wom en present at any fashion show look at the size eight models and decide to reduce. The betting also is that any men present look at the mod els' emaciated figures and think, "I'll take Marilyn Monroe." Why is it that the older a woman gets, the bigger grow her feet, the shorter grows her neck and the thinner her eyebrows? - , What this country needs to go with all its other instants is an instant cure for insomnia. The mother of two tots tells of her three-year-old daughter insisting on a pacifier every time sister, aged six months, was given one. The mother kept admonishing, "No, dear, you may not . . . you're a big girl now." After hearing the "big girl now" business a few times too many, the three- year-old turned to her mother and said: "Well, then how about a cigarette?" Advisory Committee Has Election My growing thumb is so brown that I can't get even p h 1 1 o dendron to grow al though a gardener I know says this plant will thrive in a closet. Apparently some of the children of our sophisticated age still piny the rainy day game in which you etch out "money" by rubbing a heavy leud pcncjl across white paper under which coins are placed. Conversation over heard between two four-year-old la dies we know, as they pen cilled over nickels: "Debbie, aren't we having fun?" "Yes," said Debbie, "a n d getting rich too."

This recommendation was made by a group of consult ants to Ihe children's bureau at a conference held at the department of health, educa tion, and welfnre on May 25, Chairman of the conference was Mis. Kathrrine B. Oet tlnger, chief of the children's bureau. The consultants who made the recommendation were composed of a group of lawyers, juvenile and family court judges, probation offic ers, doctors, and social work ers. The one-day meeting was the outgrowth of the bureau's January IS conference on the abused child which recom mended that legal aspects of the problem be given techni cal consideration. Agree The group of specialists agreed that mandatory report of physical abuse to children by adults should be limited to physicians and hospital ad ministrators since "these groups arc bound by law as well as by professional ethics to respect the confidentiality of the professional relation ship" The proposed statute mak ing the reporting of such abuse mandatory, the group agreed, should also relieve the doctor or hospital admin istrator from civil liability. In addition, it should specify, whnt lo report. I Among the types of cases i cited wuc those in which the child Is found, often through X-ray examination, to have a series of injuries in different stages of healing (the "abused child syndrome") and those which, on the face of It, the injury and explanation of the Injury bv the parent do not Jibe. Slates Decide To whom I he report should be made. It was recognized that this is a question each state must decide for Itself, but among possible agencies mentioned were law enforce, ment groups, especially those who have jurisdiction over Ju veniles, departments of health, child welfare departments and social agencies. According to Mrs. Oelting er, a drafl of this proposed legislation will he developed and will be circulated for comment among certain na tional groups, including the legal profession, hiw enforce ment officers, pediatricians, hospital administrators, social workers and others concerned with child health or welfare. Such a guide for slate leg islation would help alert the general public to the import ance of reporting suspected physical mistreatment of chil dren. Mrs. Oeltinger declared: "The reluclance on the part of many persons lo report these situnlions o( gross abuse of children amounts almost to a taboo. The conference group feels Ih.n there is the need for a general campaign of education ami that In drafting suggested mate leg islatjon, otheis outside the medical profession would he encouraged to report situa tions of child abuse ol which I hey are aware." ; y " . is.v iVf .',(n7vriw .J. irxl slilll .'v, v..i-h.
