Sir: Fine, Mr. Editor, I con.
cede you your 'victory over the
spelling. It seemed to afford
you immense satisfaction. As
my four dictionaries show no
such word at all, I care not
whether it is 'boondogle' 'boon.
doggie' or 'boondogggle.'
That is not the case in point
however. I am interested only
in your use of the word as
Pertaining to the Children's Aid
Society.
So here it is in black and
white for all to see - a "trifle
ing, valvelesi work; to engage
in trifling valueless work; to
engage in useless occupation."
You added, I believe, the
words "monstrous" 'and "bur.
eaucratic."
Your presence is requested
at the Huron County Children's
Aid Society annual meeting,
Wednesday, February 14 at 6:30
p.m, in St. Andrew's Presby.
terian Church,Wingham.
I enclose a ticket for the
dinner and hope you will be
present.
Yours sincerely,
E. D. Fingland.

Parents are beginning to dis.
cover that playing cards won't
necessarily condemn their off.,
spring to skid road after a
bustout in Las Vegas - the ree
verse is probably true.
Child psychologists point out
that teaching children to play
new card games helps them
adjust to the "fairplay" policy,
assists them in learning
numbers and in mastering addie
tion and subtraction. Card
games make them feel mature
because they regard playing
cards as a "big people's
pastime.
When are children oldenough
to play cards?
Most authorities agree that
a.. child is ready to play simple
card games by the time he is
five or six. This coincides with
the age most children begin
school and home "tuition" in
card playing can actually be
of value in helping a young
child adjust in the new world

With four or five players, each

In an interview, Jack Cle.,
ments, CNIB field secretary,
disclosed that more than 2,200
blind persons hold jobs in
Canada.
The group has set a double
record. It is the largest number
employed during the first 50
years of the CNIB in the great•
est variety of employment since
the first blind man was placed
in a news stand in the 1920's.
"Today the blind are a part
of the rush hour scene," Mr.
Clements observed. "ith a
little friendly guidance, they
board a bus, join a car pool
or step onto a' subway. It may
seem strange to us, but 50 years
ago nobody knew the blind. It
took 49 calls by the first em.
ployment officer to win an audio
ence in 1928, and no.one would
believe that blind people could

Dr. Evans described in pro.

Phenylketonuria, or PKU was
discovered as recently as 1934
in Norway and is brought about
by the absence of an enzyme
which preventsproper digestion
of proteins in the diet.
Dr. Evans stressed the im-
portance of diagnosis in infancy
and advocated that certain pre.
Ventive measures and dietary
treatment be introduced early
in the child's life.
Considerable progress has
been made towards controlling
this uncommon but severe form
of mental retardation.
