Children Learn From
Play
Educators and child
psychologists stress that
play, is in fact, children’s
work. They learn by
imitating the activity around
them. Toys that encourage
children to exercise their
imagination as well as
practice coordination help
them to grow.
Playing house is a
traditional favorite. For this
activity, stage props such as
mini-sized dishes, pots and
pans, are easy for small
hands to manage and lend
authenticity to efforts to be
just like mother.
To set the theme, there are
colorful, eye-appealing tea
sets and cookware. Some
come with well-known

Rainwear Is Fashionable
And Washable
Though you may not feel
quite like singing in the rain,
today’s fashion-bright
rainwear lifts the spirits on
gloomy wet days. Treated
with water-repellent
finishes, almost all fabrics
are being used, from the
traditional poplins and
gabardines to wrinkle
resistant knits and even
dressy satins and brocades.
The fact that these coats
and jackets do not mind
raindrops classifies them as
rainwear. However, the
fabrics and designs make
them sunshinewear, too. An
additional advantage is that
all-weather wraps are
frequently washable.
To machine wash a water
repellent coat, use detergent
and warm water, preferable
on a permanent press cycle.
Rinse the garment
thoroughly in order to retain
the- effectiveness of the
water-repellent finish.
Machine dry if possible or
dry on a wooden hanger. For
hanger drying, smooth
seams, collar, hem and
decorative trims while the
garment is wet.
Waterproof rainwear is
also made from non-porous
fabrics such as vinyl and
polyurethane. These gar
ments may be washable
depending on their

When you place an ad
vertisement in the
newspaper, it turns into a
“wait mid see” game. We’ve
tried to sell calves and had
no takers at all. Then
another time people phoned
from surrounding counties to
ask prices. There is another
bugaboo-what price to ask
for an item.
Recently we tried to sell a
1919 six plate cook stove.
Yes, it was rusty and some
plates were cracked but it
could be used. And it had
some good points such as a
copper water tank that didn’t
leak and a big warming
closet. As it turned out the
price asked had to be
lowered in order to sell it. In
fact, we even loaded it on our
truck and delivered it as an
added incentive.

Then came the big day and
she got a bad sore throat and
we had to postpone the event.
Also, there was no mail and
so the gifts and cards came a
day late. And to top it off her
rabbit had nine babies and
they all died. She dutifully
took a shovel and buried
them.
If you want to know how

feared we’d never get them
all in again. Our industrious
way of life has certainly paid
off.
