The Editor, The Huron Expositor: I really thought that Bill Smiley was better than that! By "that" Dm referring to his column of March 23rd. Does he really think that psychologists are so naive and lacking intelligence as to be- lieve that one incident in a child's life, such as being told to bring hack the change, will create a de- linquent, juvenile or adult? Perhaps it is the result of poor communication of ideas, with which I'm sure he is familiar in his position of teacher and column- ist, that causes so much misun- derstanding. In my own way, may I try to bring light to this appar- ent area of darkness. a kindly mother who protected him; as the boy was frail, he could not easily protect himself. At one time, the boy plotted to burn the temple in his town, just to get revenge on his father. He read a lot, wrote poetry and of- ten quarreled with his schoolmates. He grew up to be, as you,,.said, a brilliant politician. His name is Mao Tse -Tung, brilliant but war- mongering leader of Communist China. You will also find other grown- up "mean little beasts" in our mental hospitals, or tying children to trees, leaving them to freeze to death, or murdering wife and chil- dren and then setting fire to the house. I deplore as much as he does, if not more, the amateur psycholo- gist. But the gentleman, Father Mailloux, who made the state- ments he quoted, is not guilty of being an amateur or a modern swami. Guilty of not communi- cating adequately a complex idea perhaps, but not of being a for- tune-telling swami. Nor are all psychologists agreed that it (whatever "it" is) is never the fault of the child. A child's behaviour is the result of the in- teraction between the parents and the child, not just what the par- ents do with or to the child. As he points out, most kids are tough- er than a sixty -cent steak, but have you ever considered why they can take a beating and still come up grinning? The main rea- son is most kids don't have a rough deal ALL the time; that is, most parents love their children and the child knows this. He can ac- cept then the variability that all people, (and parents are people, aren't they?) have in their be- haviour. You impry that because of psy- chology a child is no longef` called lazy, bad-mannered, surly, greedy or ill-tempered. Those terms are value judgments and psychologists don't make value judgments, or at least try to avoid doing so, be- cause they are of little value in making an objective appraisal of behaviour. A child who is describ- ed as bad-mannered and surly by one individual can be called in- dependent by another in describ- ing the same quality. Greed can also be called looking out for one- self and ill-tempered can be called tempermental. But no matter how behaviour is described, a psycholo- gist's endeavour is to find the causes of such behaviour and, if need be, to suggest ways it can be altered, not to call it good or bad. Morality is the realm, of theology and philosophy. As to the poor, gaunt, haggard, torn -down end wornout parents desperately making sacrifices to their children, I agree they are disturbed. They are disturbed about keeping, up with the Jones', disturbed by what others think of them, and disturbed by the de- manding children who they over- indulged and let have their own way almost from the time the child was born. But this type of parent is as rare as a snapping turtle in the river at Grieve's bridge, but as dangerous to the welfare of chil- dren. This pattern of upbringing is just as conducive to delinquency as the famous or, perhaps, in- famous, Broken Home. As he says, my heart goes out to them because they are engaged in the futile struggle of attempting to offer material things in place of that intangible quality necessary in every home—love. You'll have to excise me now. I have to talk to a • child whose mother and father are getting a divorce. There has been so many fights between them that this kid thinks most adults are crazy. May- be he's right—who put this Mixed- up world in the predicament t is now? Thanks for the space. PHYSCHOLOGY'S FRIEND ,,..Bringing back the change is a singular example, as was pointed out in the article, of a total pat- tern which creates in the child a picture of himself. Another ex- ample would be denial of the fam- ily car when the boy has a license and is a careful driver. A more personal example, for you, would be the removal of concert tickets from your hip pocket because your wife didn't trust you. A continual attitude of doubt expressed by the parents undermines self-confidence and a child as a result, often de- velops an child, can't" or "I don't know" attitude, and a similar type of behaviour. Perhaps this idea can best be summed up in the phrase: "You are what other peo- ple think you are." He said his hair stands on end. Well, my hair stands on end too, because he neglected to mention what happens to some of those other "mean little beasts that no- body, including their parents, have any use for:" For example,.. some years called there l' lazy and often child was beaten by a severe father. He also had ANO District Weddings JONES- LOVELI.

Ontario's milk industry is con- tinuing study of the recently pro- posed milk marketing plan for the province and the ways and means that new legislation can be used to implement the plan. The legislation was introduced in the Legislature March 14, to enable milk producers to establish the plan which was submitted by three agricultural economists to the four dairy producer groups last month for their consideration. The suggestions of the econom- ists culminated two years of stu- dy of marketing programs in the United Kingdom, United States, British Columbia and finally their ownwhich was carried out under the auspices of the Ontario Milk Producers' Co-ordinating Board. No decision has been made by the four member producer groups of the Co-ordinating Board on im- plementation of the suggestion and an evaluation of the proposals con- tinues. The new legislation, an amend- ment to the Milk Industry Act, will enable the four groups to jointly set up a single marketing plan or individually or in combinations. Proclamation of the act will be made when the industry has de- cided what form the plan will take.
