The "Procession of Die Meister-singer" by Wagner opened the second part of the program and was followed by Tschaikowsky's "Pathetique Symphony." As a lighter movement during the program, Karl Glasbenner, Jr., 14 years old, played Anderson's "Jazz Pizzacato," with Miss Perkins accompanying with a boogy-wooey bit on the piano and accompanied by the slapping of the basses. Glazunov's beautiful "Bacchanale — Autumn and Winter" was under the sponsorship of the Long Beach recreation commission. It was announced that a children's symphony for students between the ages of 6 and 13 who have played at least one school year, is being organized by Miss Perkins.

These seemingly tenuous families traditions, locked in the hearts boys fighting in the steam jungles of the South Pacific over Europe, play an extremely important part in maintaining morale of our fighting men as sustaining them until the day victory." Child's First School Day Is Important One of the most important transitions in the life of your child comes on the day he takes his first step toward his formal education in a nursery school, kindergarten or the first grade.

"If you see to it that he plays with other children, learning give and to take, that he shares his toys, that he is not entirely cared for by one person, he will be better able to take his place what will be to him the outworld," an article on this subject in the September issue of Gail Housekeeping magazine states. "Teach him to control his emotions, to make his own decisions to depend less and less on adults around him. Children..." The bridal couple was showered with many lovely and useful gifts.

Family Traditions Important Factor Every family, no matter how poor in material things, can create and cherish its own traditions. Many persons associate traditions with pomp and glory but the fact remains that some of our sturdiest traditions were fashioned by our ancestors out of little more than sentiment, good will and imagination, according to the September issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. "Most traditions begin by accident and are maintained by mutual agreement because they satisfy some deep-seated sentiment in the human race," the article by Gladys Schultz states. Marriages have been held together by the melody of a trivial popular song, which once meant something special to a young couple in love. Sentimental journeys to the place where two young people met can develop into important occasions, even if the place is just a roadside diner." Many traditions which forge a strong bond between members of a family are based on things so in- If you see to it that he plays with other children, learning gives and to take, that he shares his toys, that he is not enticed cared for by one person, he will be better able to take his place what will be to him the outsider world," an article on this subsection in the September issue of Grace Housekeeping magazine states. "Teach him to control his emotions, to make his own decision to depend less and less on adults around him. Children eager to learn and this should fostered. Widen their interests constantly by talking to them about things that concern the family. And if they ask questions they can't answer, find the answers for them." Before starting your child's school, be certain that his physical condition is excellent in order that his contacts with other children will not endanger his health.
