SUNDAY. AUGUST 10. 19S8 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE F3 CHILDREN MUST IE HAPPY 'M' HEALTHY TO IE WBSE ;New Toys And Games Keep Pace With Modern Interests And Skills . This (all, toyland is set to give : strong helping Hand to parents ;:.who are concerned about improv ing their youngsters' level oi knowledge and kindling early in terest in science. Teachers have cooperated with -designers to develop a record j number of kits and games for i'home use that instruct in basic curriculum through competitive :;play, reports Dr. Emma Sheehy, Ichairman of Toy Guidance Coun-'-cil's Advisory Committee and pro cessor of Child Development at ITeachers College, Columbia. Proven techniques, such as flash cards and fractional pies, Jlong used by schools, have been '-adapted to game formats that '; young scholars will enjoy playing ."at home with parents or older brothers and sisters. Blackboards and globes, too, are groomed to -contribute to juvenile knowledge j-in play hours. Understanding of shapes and ."forms, identification of letters, 'words and sentences and telling !time are tackled in individual kits I that stress fun appeal. Not only do the new "keys to ; learning" teach the basics of arithmetic, but new kits tackle the thorny problem of fractions in depth, too. . One game provides 250 assorted letters, including capitals, small ; letters, spaces, periods and ques- tion marks, along with simple sentences. Play is based on ' matching letters and constructing i words and sentences. Another ; variation of the letter game, that i. appeals to youngsters in the pri- mary grades, offers competitive play and drill in basic reading and spelling skills. . Yet another new game, adapt ; ed from proven techniques devel ; oped by school teachers, is played by matching picture to picture and thpn word to pictura and fi- nally word to word. Wondering how to keep the youngsters in your family happy after school when cold weather and early dark put an end to out door fun? Introduce them to the favorite hobby of thousands of youngsters model building. Assembling plastic models of planes, ships and cars fills all the requirements of an ideal late- afternoon hobby: 1. There are easy models for be ginners, more complicated ones for experienced builders. 2. It doesn t require tools, since the plastic parts come ready for putting together with special cement. 3. A kitchen table provides ade quate work space. 4. It gives the builder something to snow tor his eltorts. One of the leading manufactur ers of model kits says this "some thing to show" is a plus feature that stimulates youthful hobbyists into developing real skills. Pride of achievement is great that youngsters vie with each other to produce increasing ly more difficult models. Once a model is completed, the builder wants to keep it on per manent display. You never find him 'swapping' models with his friends as he does comics or pic ture cards. Girls are almost as avid model builders as their brothers. The only difference is that they like the hobby as a group activity with the family or boy friends. It seems that teen-age girls fre quently have to take up the hobby or find a new "steady"). The finished models can be used to decorate recreation rooms or children's bedrooms. Because of their light weight the planes can be hung mobile style from the ceiling. Ships and cars are shown to best advantage on shelves or fire-place mantels. :':( yO-'?-!

Not ; seeing properly often produces a distaste for reading and studying. 'The youngster's grades suffer :"and he suffers from a feeling of ."inadequacy. ' The wearing of glasses seldom causes a child embarrassment to-.-day as it once did. Perhaps the I'fact that adults, and especially women, have discovered that well-r- chosen frames can improve their 'appearance, has encouraged the I. child. ' ft is vitally important that youngsters have periodic pre school time eye examinations. Be tween these times, parents should watch for signs that indicate that professional eye care may be needed. Such signs are frowns rubbing of eyes, holding books too close to the eyes, covering one eye, headaches, a distaste for reading and suddenly lowered grades on report cards. Once it is found that a child needs corrective lens, parents should make sure the youngster wears the glasses but wilhout nagging.
