Is there any place you'd rather be? Ontarians are the kind of people who wouldn't be here if there Was any place better. We are people who came from a hundred lands and stayed to build. People with backbone atid brawn and a hunger to succeed. Men and women who've created a standard of living in decades that other lands worked cen, tunes to build.- If we have a flaw it's our chronic modesty. Ontarians may be proud to be Ontarians Attd, Canadians . : they just seldom tell anyone. Front an economic point of view that's wrong. The more people we have boosting Ontario and Canada the better it is. And we've got a lot to boost with. In the fight against pollution for exam- ple, Ontario has become a world leader. Everyone talks about pollution, we do something. More than a billion dollars has been invested to date to build water supply and sewage systems in dozens of com- munities throughout the province. We've got laws to prosecute industries that pollute the air and water;. loans and grants to help industries that want to do something to stop it. We need a vigor- ous economy of course, to support these important programs. And, that's where you come in. Though our productivity has doubled in ten years and our incomes in twelve, Ontarians don't sit on their successes. There's a demanding decade ahead full of challenges and Opportunities to make the quality of our lives better yet. To meet these challenges we've got to believe in ourselves,Which, when your think about it, isn't such a bad idea.• Everytime you boost Ontario . . Ontario and Canada get a little stroner. Government of Ontario lap Robarts, Prime Minister. In recent weeks, this column has again been appearing in one of the fit* newspapers ever to run it , and. much to my delight, I've been getting comments from those readers Which indicate they're still glad to read about the life and loves of old Shirley. Funny thing about the folks who read this column. They prefer to hear about my family and all the everyday happenings in the Keller home. I don't want to bore any of you but for lack of any other subject, I'd like, you to know my theory about babysitters, You see, babysitters have formed a large part of my life since I went to work about seven years age. My children have lived with babysitters during that time and feel I'm somewhat qualified to ass judgement on the girls and omen who make babysitting a art-time career. Let me say at the outset that good babysitter is as precious o me as a reliable doctor or a entle dentist. Babysitters are of just ordinary people. Who ould entrust the life of her hildren to the care of just ybody? I happen to know some omen who are somewhat mbarrassed by the fact that hey babysit for a few extra ollars. Believe me, if a woman a good babysitter, she needn't eel the job she does is mediocre. n fact, she is providing a service which is vital to the working mother — or the woman who needs to get Away from the children for a day or so to preserve her sanity. I've been particularly fortunate. Almost all Of the babysitters I have ever employed have been just great . . and the contributions they made to the development of my children were tremendous. particularly grateful to the loving granny-type babysitter who toilet-trained our youngest child, and to the sharp little teenager who taught our eldest the joys of chess playing. Just once did I ever employ a babysitter who was just not compatible with my children. That was a total disaster, believe me, and to this day, that episode is a sore spot with me and with the babysitter. Not that the babysitter and I are on unfriendly terms, Heavens, no, It is just that the, babysitter and I seemed to disagree about which way to raise children, she being just as determined as I that there was only one way to bring up toddlers, and our differences left the child confused and unhappy. For instance, I'm a firm believer that while a child should have order and discipline in his life, he should be able to decide for himself pretty much how he would like to spend his days. If my children prefer TV to the outdoor life, I have no SEAPC/ATH Insures: * town Dwellings * All Class'of Farm Property * summer cottages * Churches, Schools, Halls &tended coverage (Wind, triloke, water dal age', falling objects etc,) is alSo available. objections. If boys would, rather. play with dolls than with, trucks and trains, .so what? I remember being a child and ioving to build rafts and float down the muddy river more than having tea Patties. This one .babysitter tQc>li the opposite view, A boy should behave like A boy, a girl should behave like a girl and a child, any child, will respond to one certain kind of training, Which brings me to the conclusion that the one attribute for which I look in my babysitters (and I suppose it is the same with all mothers whether they realize it or not) is the ability to see the inner self under all the veneer of bad habits and misbehaviour, and to let that take priority as long as it doesn't interfere too much with the babysitter's daily schedule. And in my opinion, a babysitter who will allow a child to be himself is a babysitter who loves children — and that's all important to me as a working mother, So hats off to all ' the wonderful, wonderful babysitters in the country. Accept if you will, my word that you are invaluable people who contribute in a very special way to the economy of this land. Never feel you are a less-than-anyone-else breed. A good babysitter is truly a professional who deserves the commendation of the masses.
