Mrs. Karen WWII
Many questions have been
asked regarding Vanastra, and the
Ministry • of the Environment,
First about the chlorination of the
water supply, Policy of the Minis-
try in that any water pumped by
the Ministry of the Environment
and consumed by the public is to
be chlorinated. I am aware of the
usefulness chlorine' plays' as a
safety factor, but is it necessary at
Vanastra,
Clinton and Vanastra use the
same water froni artesian wells.
Clinton because they are served
by their local PUC do not use
chlorine in their water supply.
There is ,no need.
At Vanastra, 'the ministry
suggests the pipes and storage
tanks are old, therefore, '0119:ritie
additive is a precaution. RAW old
are pipes In other towns?
Clinton, the comparative example,
is celebrating her centennial now.
The press recently published
research from the United States
that suggests chlorine may be
medically harmful. Besides the
bad taste chlorine may be a
chemical pollutant, If you wish to
voice your feelings re chlorination
of our water supply at Vanastra
write: Ministry of Environment
Utilities Operation Section,
'London Regional ,Office, 985
Adelaide Street South; London,
Ontario.
With regard to the Ministry of
the Environment and sewage,
Vanastra can develop according
to the originalzoning plans. Plan

CHILDREN AS GREEDY MISERS
Time Teller .
Learning to tell time is one of those things every child must do
eventually. Help make it an enjoyable time with this simple toy
clock.
Materials -
1-piece of thick cardboard cut into a circle approximately
eighteen inches in diameter
2-thinner pieces of cardboard cut into arrows (ofie longer than
the other) to make the hands of the clock.
1-eyelet large enough to go through the hands of the clock and •
the clock and wide enough to hold the hands to the face of the
clock.
1-set of water color paints
Instructions
1.Paint the face of the clock with one color from the water color
set,
2.Paint the numbers on the face of the clock making sure that
they are properly placed. Then find the center of the clock.
3.Secure the hands of the clock to t face with the eyelet.
4.So that the child may learn time by s ociation, get him to cut
out little pictures from magazi es which show various
activities which he might do at a ,gi en time. (i.e: a picture of
eating at six o'clock). Then paste the pictures directly on the
face of the clock in the appropriate time slot.
Consideration, cooperation and sharing are words used by
adults to describe the way kind and gentle people in our sbciety
should act towards their felloW man.
Despite whatever the lady on Romper Room says they have
little or nothing to do with the average young child. Often
parents act surprised even shocked when they see their own
children acting like greedy misers, hording and coveting their
toys. Or fighting with other children over who owns this or that
toy.
They should not be surprised - nothing coulclbe more natural.
9 A young child is by nature an ego-centric or self centred
individual.Everything and everybody in the young child's world
revolves around him. He counts himself as number "one". His
world is extremely small and closed to outsiders. All of his toys
have a special and personal meaning. He plays in a small circle
of friends (usually one or two) and he refuses to admit strangers.
In short he is anything but a kind and gentle individual.
Often parents or guaradians of young children make the
mistake of expecting the child to be naturally considerate, to
cooperate etc. Unfortunately when they do this they are seeing
the child as a miniature adult. A child is a child is a child is a
child. And he must go through very definite stages of
development. One of these periods or stages of development can
be called the selfish period. During this time the child is getting
to know himself, And after-alliwhat could be more sensible than
to first' learn about yourself before learning about the world
around you. • '
This is not to say that parents should encourage their children
to be misers. Rather that they should understand why they act
this way and not to try and force the child into accepting these
terms of living before the child is capable of actually
understanding them.
A child who sees his parents or older brothers and sisters
cooperating, sharing add being considerate, will, thrOugh time'
and experience, eventually accept these terms as his own.
