More than 40 percent of babies in this decade have born to first-time parents. ike home computers, babies Intly grabbed the cover of e magazine. Unlike compu- babies don’t come with sets istructions. baby’s Sandy Jones, psychologist, author and consultant to a toy manufacturer (Fisher-Price), says “taking babies less serious ly” is preferable. “Follow the urges,” she said. Jones, who has four books to her credit, and a 10-year-old child, was in Kansas City recent ly to address a national conven tion of the La Leche League, a group that encourages breast feeding. She expects great things of the current generation, nur tured by parents sensitive to their needs. “I feel like something won derful is happening,” she said. “As one mother (at the conven tion) put it, ‘These babies are full of themselves.”’ Toys have their role in “bring ing the world to the baby,” she said, fingering a panda puppet. That role should not be sup- E lanted by cribside lessons with mguage and math flash cards, she sain. “Toys are not a substitute for parental involvement. Rather, they can be used to bring plea sure to children and to demons trate to the baby that the adults are there to give care, love and support. From birth to two years babies go through a complex process, without formal coaching, to absorb language, Jones said. Any coaching on a parent’s part to hurry a baby along “may be at a cost to what he’s learning naturally.” “Parents instinctively raise their voices to the exact pitch that a baby hears and hold their faces the correct distance from the baby’s — about 12 inches.” Films of parents and offspring show babies move in rhythm to the conversation they hear, she said, and they dance to any spoken language, but not to nonsense syllables. In “Good Things For Babies” (Houghton Mifflin, $12.95 hardcover, $6.95 paperback), Jones draws on her knowledge of infant development and ex tensive study of infant-injury re ports as well as her own experi ence and interviews with pa rents. “If there ever was a time for ‘parent power’ it is now,” she writes. “Parents must lead the way to bring about change in safety standards for babies and young children.” A special feature of Jones’ philosphical, artfully illustrated care manual, “To Love a Baby” (Houghton Mifflin, $16.95) is a special section summarizing and excerpting from nearly 60 books and articles on baby care. Topics include educating blind infants, the benefits of va rious labor postures, rocking waterbeds for premature in fants, the role of mother-infant eye contact and what to do with a colicky child.

' /e got a few posili , not so much in lineup but among es,” he said. “Thiswl flnthecurrent situation, for the Fed said it had led policy only moderately, the market decided how that igeof policy was to be trans- into interest rates,” said William N. Griggs of Griggs 8c Santow, Inc. “The federal funds (over night interest rate on which others are based) has stayed on the comfortable side at 9'/* per cent, but the market is con vinced it will move back up and that’s a thing that has to be built into expectations," he said. There also is a widespread be lief, and Federal Reserve Chair man Paul Volcker indicated re cently, that money supply is going to be a major problem in September and October. “The market is looking at that prospect and worrying about it,” Griggs said, especially in view of the surprise announcement that the Fed had firmed policy at its July meeting. Most Fed watchers believed the opposite and they have the same consensus about the Au gust meeting, Griggs said. “Now they are afraid they are wrong again. The market, understand ably, is taking a more cautious view.” The minutes of the July meet ing of the Federal Open Market Committee, released on Aug. 26, confirmed the vote to tight en and said the Fed would put more emphasis on the broader money measures — M2 and M3. Griggs believes this was in tended to allay fears about potential Ml growth, but “it won’t wash with the market," he said. “The market says we heard the same thing in February only to find the Fed had firmed in May because of M1 growth,” he said. “It is saying our experience with the Fed is such that we can not be sure circumstances won’t force them to change their minds.” It is with these things in mind that the market is retreating, Griggs said, “and the short-term picture always is played out against an adverse longer-term background — the tremendous Treasury financing problem that never ends.” So far private credit demand has not been strong enough to interfere with the Treasury’s borrowing, but as the recovery sparks competition from the pri vate sector there inevitably will be a conflict that will push rates higher. Reusuable tack leaves no mark United Press International READING, Pa. — A reusable adhesive new to the United States is designed for hanging lightweight objects such as post ers without leaving an unsightly hole or mark in walls when you move them. That’s just one of many uses the Bostik Consumer Division of Emhart Corp. recommends for its English-made Blu-Tack, which looks like a thick sheet of pale blue rubber. The manufacturer says it is non-toxic and can be used with out damage on non-porous sur faces, including vinyl-coated wallpaper, painted surfaces, glass and metal. The manufacturer warns that it may leave an oily mark on some surfaces that can some- “ times be removed with either dry cleaning or lighter fluid. “Somehow that will have to be resolved and the Fed is going have to make a choice between sustaining the recovery and risk ing inflation or opting to abort the recovery in the pursuit of a rigorous antiinflationary poli cy,” Griggs said. “There’s no flexibility. There’s no room to let rates rise,” he said. “The difference between a sustained and an aborted recovery is probably not more than 2 percent,” Griggs said. “We have made a major mis take on the fiscal side and we have to pay for it,” he said, “That payment can come either in high rates and slow growth or lower rates and somewhat more infla tion. “I believe the Fed will opt to sustain the recovery because it will help with the federal debt problem,” he said. “It won’t solve the problem but it will help reduce the debt, whereas abort ing the recovery is certain to make the deficit figures worse.” HAnsspoERS «MnET warm day Saturdaf exico grants redit to Cuba United Press International EXICO CITY-The Mex- Foreign Trade Bank has P° rtant , t0 « ited a $55 million credit line ■ Cuba for manufactured is, capital goods and agricul- il products, finance officials (exico City said.
