Even if you get stuck making an unexpected visit, a little pocket change is all you need to pick up some interesting works for younger readers. (My companion went wild over %u201c The Baby Animal ABC,\price 95 cents, by Penguin Books. I got off easy). Though prices start low, Child%u2019s Play is a perfect place to pick up that fine gift book too, that looks, reads and is substantial.Preschool youngsters find a wide selection of picture and read-aloud books, with a range of illustration styles and reading approaches available, depending on the taste of the parent (no one ever seems to let kids make these important decisions!).For older youngsters, the traditional %u201c Pooh%u201d booksare there, as well as Burnett%u2019s \Rich%u2019s %u201c Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,%u201d and a host of other more modern story books with urban children as characters.The owners are an enthusiastic pair too, who don%u2019t try to push off their prejudices, though they admit them. Nancy Foutz and partner Cynthia Herbert have both been encountered by PHOENIX staffers on individual shopping excursions. Each seems to have that delightful combination of traits which offers help when it is solicited, but understands that book picking is such a subjective thing that parent and-or child needs to browse to get a %u201c feel%u201d for the right work.Among the material stocked on the shelves, the owners proclaim, are a number of titled from the Ms. magazine booklist for %u2018%u2018liberated children,%u201d the Feminist Press and Lollipop Power, a faminist collective.And then there is that most attractive drawing card of all to a young shopper %u2014 a play area in a store %u2014 where kids can park and entertain themselves, while parents make those %u2018%u2018decisions%u201d about purchases. The cash register that was ther when my partyvisited was highly recommended by my companion.Oh, yes, I don%u2019t want to forget there are a few items scattered around to make it a trip worthwhile for an adult too. Old magazine and book pages and advertisements, and other antique items are scattered throughout the shop to interest mom and dad too. (One co-owner told us they almost opened a combination book-antique shop until switching plans to children's books).A reader who has children of any age, or who is related to children, or knows even one youngster, should make Child's Play an early stop on the shopping itinerary. Both the adult and the child will be enchanted.ii iii iii iE i iii iii iii im i a ii im u i iii iii iii i i i i H M i i i i i i N m i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i H u i i i i i n i i i i H i i i m i i i i H i i m i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i g i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i u i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i 'i .Feminists HereContinued from Page 3of their white sisters in understanding the connection between sexism and racism. According to the latest Virginia Slims poii, black women were up front in their support of the movement, she reports. %u201cBlack women have never had %u2018feminine%u2019 role protection, so the move away from the female stereotype is not as threatening to them,%u201d she believes.Attributing such media tricks as an anti-women%u2019s movement article written for a supposedly black magazine by a white woman, and the non-coverage of movement activities of black and Spanish women, to an attempt to divide and conquer, Sloan feels that explanations about black feminism as presented in her talks, in her forthcoming Ms. article, and by other black women, can begin to set the situation straight. %u201cAfter all,%u201d she points out, %u201cblack women are for child care centers, equal pay, and the right to abortion,%u201d and, she adds referring to the latter, the genocide or %u201cSacred Seat%u201d argument that claims the push for abortion is a white atNew PlanContinued From Page 2planned to flow north on Hicks Street, turn right at Amity Street and enter the hospital%u2019s underground parking garage and delivery area. Traffic is planned to exit on Hicks Street and proceed to Atlantic Avenue, keeping major traffic away from Henry Street. An entrance to the hospital from Henry Street to the underground garage is also shown in the plan.Utilization of air rights over the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway is planned as an overhang of the upper stories, but these floors are planned to be 100 feet over the sunken part of the roadway. Hicks Street in the plan will be partly covered over but traffic lanes will be open as usual.Each of the hospital buildings will be connected by bridging or through tunnels.
