They got listless and cranky at the same time. It became obvious what the trouble was: there was just plain too much. It is hard .to believe, in our affluent society, but too much can be depressing. Suppose that all at once you were told ‘that you had won your dream house and a Rolls-Royce and a yacht and a private plane and ‘a new wardrobe and a few other things. Wouldn't you feel in some " way disappointed that it all happened at once, that you could not savor and appreciate each gift individually? After all, it is not just the owning of a yacht that is exciting -- it is the dreaming and planning of where to go and what to see. And so it was with my children: When one girl was three she received, among other things, a doll buggy which I thought would tickle her pink. All Christmas Day she ignored it; and she ignored it for weeks thereafter. I was quite disappointed. Butsuddenly one day, after she had worked through the possibilities of several other toys, she started to play with the. doll buggy and she played with it almost constantly for months. Play for children is, after all, serious business; it is their work and their way of learning. I finally saw that we had been presenting Christ- mas to the children in un- imaginative adult terms. ‘A child does not need to be, does not really want to be stimulated by heaps and heaps of toys, because he can see infinite possibilities in each one if we will let him. My practical answer to the Christmas problem, besides vainly asking the grand- parents to cut down on gifts, was to start a new family tradition, the Twelve Days of Christmas. The children opened only two presents each day, and Christmas lasted indefinitely. The children were quite happy with this arrange- ment, and were much calmer and busily occupied through- out the Twelve Days. It is not just at Christmas time” that “adults “impose our dull 'mean standards on child” ren. Once, through the kitchen window, I overheard two little girls playing -- one of them was mine -- and they played for hours with their two battered dolls. Those dolls were pirates, they went to school, they had babies, they rode through the jungle on elephants, they did everything that two little girls with imagination could imagine. Along came a third little girl, in order to show the latest gift that her parents had bought her -- and they bought her many gifts. This was an enormous bride doll, magnifi- cent in her curls and lace, costing perhaps 20 dollars or more. The first two girls stopped playing, and soon mine came in the house rather subdued. They were not too young to understand one-upmanship. But the next day they were playing again, and it did not really make any difference that Jackie had the beautiful bride doll, because she did not know how to play. She never really played. Almost the only contact she had with the other children was to show them her presents. I do not know how to bring up a child so it ‘does not know how to play, but it evidently can be done. The gift of imagination is worth all the toy departments put together. I have seen a child build a world out of a few marbles and an old box. Such a child is not poor, by any means ; but he can be made to feel poor, expecially in a society like ours. I was driving in the country one summer day with another ‘woman when we passed some country children by a fence. \ They looked healthy and eager, but they were mud- streaked, barefoot, and the little girl had on a hand-me- down dress much too long for her. “Oh look at those poor children,” my companion said with compassion. But to me those children looked as though they had been enjoying them- selves, and at the moment required no pity. Sooner or later, however, someone would make them very aware of the fact that the hand-me-down dress and the frayed elbows, no matter how neat and clean for school’ made them ‘‘poor children.” ‘know motels - horse trailer had overtu - . Pillar: | continued from PAGE 2 hairpin curves. The ladies got to sit in the car while the gentlemen hoofed it, chocking the wheels with rocks, in case the pull of gravity got too much for the emergency brake and the car, towing its baggage trailer, should start to coast downhill. The boys returned with a can. of gas, the motor started: up again, and we made the sum- mit. The station attendant said it was lucky we hadn’t tried to make the grade yesterday, everything had been snowed in. We had considered startigfyon Feb. 1, but we must have been living right, or something. On the other side of the mountain, the temperature started dropping, and by the time we holed up for the night it was at Yreka, California, plenty cold. There were no motels, as we today. Cabin camps, that’s what, and you carted your own bedding. By the next night we were down in the orange country, and a few hours later in the outskirts of Los Angeles, where folks were enjoying an unprece- dentedly heavy dew, the kind that washes out bridges and transforms highways intQ a muddy torrent. i! > Times may have changed in the last thirty-four years, but in 1935 there wasn’t a single service station attendant who ‘could give directions for getting out of the environs of Los Angeles. None of them had eg lived there before. They’ came from Iowa. We finally made it the fol- lowing morning, chasing the storm through El Centro, where it had uprooted trees and washed out some of the road. .But at least we were headed East after travelling 1,000 miles down the coast. It was not too surprising to find floods in Arizona, with astonished cactus kneedeep in water, and all the small dips in the road running hub deep. They didn’t build bridges down that away. They knew it was futile. Those dips in the road were calculated to shake your back teeth loose. The flood increased as the day wore on. There was a long line of stalled cars up ahead, and we joined it, via the last dip, the one that sent a bow- wave of water up over the roof : of the car, _and Sowied he trailer. Arizona highway . puto cars, were keeping: the travellers Jin! line. Six hours later, after a spraying frantic horses into boiling dip, the rain and the flood started to. go down, practically simulta- neously. i The patrol piloted each car . to the brink. “Now, steer right for that spot’ the officer in- structed, “right where Mike is standing, and when you get alongside him, givver the gun and DON’T STOP, no matter what.” The next dip contained only a foot of water, the following dip a mere trickle, the third only a trace of moisture. Cactus was emerging, looking astonished but unperturbed. It takes a lot to discourage a cactus. Gila Bend and another cabin camp at 2 in the morning. ¢ Sgt. Judith ¢, earns service ‘ribbon Sergeant Judith A. Rother, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul G. Rother of 83 Maplewood Ave., Dallas, has been recor- nized for helping her unit earn the U.S. Air Force Carstonding Unit Award. Sergeant Rother, a supply inventory specialist in the 438th Military Airlift Wing at McGuire AFB, N.J., will wear the distinctive service rigion as a permanent decoration. The unit was cited for ex- ceptionally meritorious service in support of combat and re- supply airlift operations around the world from June 1, 1966 to "April 30, 1968. The sergeant is a gradiath of Dallas Senior High School. Our hang-up about clothes, -and its influence on school life, probably deserves a column to itself. It is just part of the whole process by which we impose shallow adult values on our children in the mis- taken belief that we are doing our best for them. standing squ Vic the; squ sias the har Saw ® eve for hin vict maf By lov ove stil Le
