Small World unites wives

Small World was established as "a hand-clasp that reaches around the world." It too, has been a hand that reaches out to provide that needed link in every phase of community adjustment for KU foreign students' wives and children.
Nearly 143 foreign and 112 American wives and children participate in the all-volunteer, bi-weekly program designed to bridge the language and cultural barriers confronting foreigners to American society.
Small World is not designed to mold foreigners into the American plan of living, but merely to help them become more fluent in daily living. Mrs. Jean Thompson, volunteer worker and English teacher for Small World, explained that most of the students and their families are temporary residents in the Lawrence community and will return in a year or two to their native countries.
The Small World programs emphasize vocabulary building and adaptation through excursions, cooking and sewing demonstrations, singing, studying, showing slides and sharing concepts inherent to cultures of their native countries.
Small World aims at providing a common meeting ground to share diverse ideas, cultures and
native talents. It strives toward an international peace through concrete understanding of all faiths and creeds.
Excursion trips are planned on a monthly basis and have included trips to public libraries, schools, Kraft Furniture Company and the Lawrence Journal-World. The trips familiarize foreign wives with American community life, brand names, and organizational procedures of public services.
The bi-weekly meetings, held at the Lawrence First Presbyterian Church, include an hour of English Instruction at all proficiency levels provided by
American volunteer women and an hour for special interest group meetings which cultivate interests and share in knowhow, music, arts and crafts and cooking and sewing.
Each month an assembly provides special demonstration and guest speakers to talent shows.
Child care is provided for each meeting. Children are taught elementary English through songs, games, stories, and creative opportunities in art and music.
Once each week small discussion groups meet in individual homes for extended cultural exchange over foreign desserts and bridge games.
A summer program will continue the school year's program on a more relaxed basis, using students' homes, volunteer teenagers to assist with the children and enabling interested foreign women to continue English study cultural exchange.

Midi fingernails developed to help nail-biters
(UPI) — In this era of midi, it seems petite girls have the advantage except in the area of false fingernails. Never fear. A firm has brought out mini size ones. They're also good for nailbiters who have less surface area on which to affix false nails.
