arranging for treatment and fo

The minds of parents of hand
capped children are naturally fu
of many doubts and fears. The
may not, for one thing, under
stand the great importance of ca
rying out the surgeon's order
and that's where the nurse come
in. She gives the reason "why?
She acts as a go-between and de
monstrates to the child as wel
as the parent the correct way t
adjust braces and splints, .or ho
to navigate on crutches or in
wheel chair. She will also hav
suggestions for extra-mural tea
ching, recreation and occupation
therapy for handicaps.
The nurse has only one goa

capped child so as to enable hi
as an adult to make as nearl
as possible a normal adjustmen

(By EVELYN G.
Recently a small lad of grade
one vintage brought his book to
the library desk to be 'checked
out. He leaned on the desk and
said rather confidingly, "Want
to know something?" We assured
him that we wanted to know the
"something" and he. said, "You
have a lot of nice books here".
Thank you, David, that is one
of the nicest compliments ever
received by the Clinton Public
Library.
That conversation ties in with
the topic we wish to discuss this
week, It is one that arises every
so often among librarians—should
Children read the 'series" books.
They claim that the books are
not well written and that the con
tent matter is not up to a high
standard. We look on the brighter
side. We do have some of the
"series" books in the Library,
A child may take to reading
"comic" and not come to the Li-
brary. Another child may become
fascinated in following a "series".
HAIL, Librarian)
Some children like quantity of
reading material at this stage.
Opportunities ate often presented
to introduce a variety of books,
During the past twelve years
no parent or teacher hai made
any objection Ito the choice of
"series" on the shelves. Once,
about eleven years ago a parent
spoke to the librarian about lett-
ing his daughter read a series,
when he thought that she should
be reading other books. He had
not looked intb the matter, and
being timid, we did not tell him
that it is not the duty of a lib-
rarian to censor the reading of a
member. It is our privilege to sug-
gest subjects and books. If a child
is willful at home it is not an
easy task.
It is generally easy to introduce
a new type of book to young rea-
ders. An ardent reader of series
books may say that there are no
more books to read and that they
are getting tired of reading.
They are not tired of reading but
tired of the monotonous theme
they have been following. It is
pointed out that he or she might
like pie and ice cream but would
not want it continually. Once st-
arted on a variety course, the
young reader finds his interests
and ideas expanding in a new and
fascinating way.
Some small children 'stick to
the picture story book or a series
because they prefer the known;
to the unknown. They say they
cannot tell If they will like a
book that is different. They need
assistance in developing their pow-
ers of discrimination. This assist-
ance should come from parent,
teacher and librarian, When a
child comes and asks, "Please
help me find a book", we like to
know the age or grade and inter-
ests and start from there.
Canadian Library Week will be
held from the 12th to the 18th of
April and an invitation is extend-
ed to all to visit your library aiccl
bring your suggestions. Your in-
terest will be appreciated.
These are some of the books
that we like to introduce to the

THE PRICE OF
GOOD LIVING
CANADIANS are still enjoying the world's second
highest standard of living.
They can do this because of the contribution
of manufacturing to our national progress and
prosperity.
Perhaps Canadians can buy some things cheaper
elsewhere than in, Canada. But if they are not willing
to pay Canadian prices for Canadian products, our
own workers will not for long be able to receive
Canadian wages. Nor will Canadian governments
receive the tax revenues they require to sustain
Canada's welfare programmes.
There is a price to pay for everything, including
the Canadian standard of living.
