Despite Bill Smiley
Toronto, March 30, 1.961.
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

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.
