Almost sacrilege
Mothers are notoriously sensitj e .T'his
lay ,;come from the undeniable fact that
TOOthering is a very personal job involving
.feelings and emotions which just aren't
present in other fields of endeavour. -
There is' little doubt that mothers
:believe it` is their. God-given right to raise
their. children as they see fit, wi<thdutany
interference-w`frOf11/''ritslder-s - Who *:rrray.. -
;'actt:ua.l.ly 'slspeet intervention will
ultimately benefit children.
, :Maybe that is why the announcement
of a new co-operative venture between the
Ontario ani the federal government may
be `greeted with 'some degree of coolness.
The Infant Care Program.. provides for
$51,588 to be spent in: this .province for
"enriched, infant" daycare" with an aim to
developing . ways ` by which the
environment -' can be' made more
stimulating for children while ing infancy
and thus enhance the child's development.
Two psychologists, Dr. William Fowler
of the Ontario Institute for Studies in
Education, Toronto, and Dr. Thomas
Ryan, Department of !. Psychology,
Carleton University, Ottawa, will be
invo.lued in? the project. Dr.,, Fowler will
work with infants in a mKricipal day care
•
centre and . Dr. 'Ryan will send
professionals `into homes to- instruct
mothers in the new development
methods.
"Eventually,,," the federal department
of National Health, and Welfare says, "the
mothers themselves will be trained to
'instruct other t'°nothers,"
As -we .cir.,rd0a.rsternd *`the peograra-M»•
be `designed to "stimulate the intellectual,
development, of ,nts, some beginning as
young as six months." It will continue for
at least five years and is expected, to
"enhance early adjustment to school and
provide the basis for 'strengthening of
public care services."
That's commendable, yet somehow
there is -an indication that Canadian
mothers have not been doing their
child-rearing job properly. Now after
centuries, mothers are requiring the
as%stance of psychologists rAo will train
them "to, instruct other mothers" to
"stimulate the intellectual development of
infants." ..
It" may well be that Canadian mothers
need a refresher course in the art of child
raising but it is almost like sacrilege to say
so.

-' • You -• know, . one ' of • the
greatest events held in Goderich
every year receives very"' little
publicity. It is the Kinsmen
Octogenarian Picnic and this
,year's version was held at
Harbourlight Inn Wednesday
afternoon.
T he Kinsmen and 11
Kinettes . errainge; , a ydelighft
afternoon for the ,senior citizens
of the area. They .transport all
-these seniors to Goderich and
. provide entertainment and food
for their enjoyment.
This is the second year I've
attended the event. I didn't get
there this year- Until after 3 p.m.
so I missed a. portion, of the
program but the- part I .did see
wag a real pleasure. '

Por thmost part it is a kind

playing percussion instruments

sense of rhxthm. But there was•
musicianship too which gave the
whole performance a pleasant
ring not to be soon forgotten..
