SO THIS IS DAD1
When there’s a hero in the fam
ily one is likely to forget that he’s
also human.
Finding out that Dad, besides
being big and wonderful, also has
moods, that he can sometimes be
impatient or cross, may not be
what the children have bargained
for. And no matter how much you
explain, the children are likely to
be disappointed when they find
that he doesn’t exist just for them
alone. ,
The children’s ability to get
along with their real father in
stead of their dream father will
depend a lot on your being able
to keep steady and patient. They
are likely to need more under
standing after Dad gets home.
Here is a typical incident.
David, three years old, and his
mother spent all their time to
gether while his father was away.
David was happy and good most
of the time. He learned to dress
and undress himself. He played
alone for an hour or so while his
mother did her work. He kept his
bed dry.
After Daddy came, David be
came quite a baby again. He was

whiney and demanded constant
attention. He had to be fed and
dressed and for a while he started
wetting again. David’s parents
were wise—they didn’t punish
him or shame or scold him. They
were patient and realized that it
was hard for David to give up his
secure little world with just him
self and his mother. After a while
David got used to his Dad’s being
there too; he got used to sharing
his mother with him and began
i to give up his baby ways. Soon he
! became an independent three
year-old boy again.
Children need to feel that their
parents go on being good-humor
ed and loving, even when they act
naughty or sullen. They will need
you to smooth out the rough spots.
They will need you to see when
trouble is coming and do some- j
thing about it before it breaks. I
i
Especially they will need help in
getting acquainted with their
fathers, in finding work and play i
together.
When a child is having a good j
time with his father—when they j
are having a good talk, or playing
a game, or making something, or
just loafing happily—this is not
the time to interrupt. When a
lather and child have been separ
ated a long time, this kind of get
ting acquainted may be more im
portant for several months than
the correct hours of sleep, home
work or other duties.
Wife < reading paper*—Think of
it. Here’s a couple who got mar
ried after a 50-year-courtship.
Husband—I suppose the old fel
low was too weak to hold out any
longer.

General Electric Makes
Super-Fine Wire
Wire so delicate that even with '
six coats of insulation it is no
larger than a wisp of cobweb is
being used by General Electric
in the tiny coils of instruments
for measuring electronic circuits.
This minuscle wire, which is
one third the size of human hair,
can conduct the 1/10 of an am
pere required to light a small
lamp, and can take as little as i
1,500,000th of an ampere current,
which is 250,000 times smaller
than that used in an ordinary 60
watt household lamp.
One pound of this small wire is
62 miles long, and will make 420
typical instrument coils.
