Having somehow endured what seemed the longest winter of my life I have decided I can't bear to miss even one day of summer (if it ever: gets here) so I'm taking • off until September. The ;plans have been made for sometime but now the actual day of departure has arrived I find I'm rather loathe to leave. Of course, I'm looking forward to seeing more of my family and friends` and getting a lot of things done ;Up around the house that have 'been waiting for me for a year or more. The thought of spending a few languid hours, dozing and sun- ning by my friend's swimming pool entrances me and hopefully I will travel a bit and have the time • to look up some old acquain- tances I haven't seen in recent years. This all sounds wonderful yet I'm a little sad. I'm going to miss all the great people at the T-A who make this place one of the best in the country to work; the arguing and kabitzing with the editor, the never ending supply of jokes (?) from the sports editor and the chatting and gossiping with the girls and fellows in the back shop and office have added a • dimension of fun and goodwill that I'll miss during the next three and a half months. There's also the worry that I • 100's A70 Reg. $1.69 VII Pepsodent Tooth Paste Family size Reg. $1.39 may go to pot or to seed at home. A good deal is to be said for having to get up in the morning, move around smartly to get the necessary chores done before putting on your makeup and dressing to get down to the office by a certain time, However, one nice thing about leaving is that my duties will be very capably taken over by Susan Greer. You will remember Susan came to us earlier this spring during slack week at UWO where she recently completed a course in journalism. Now, she's back for the summer and her youthful zesty approach to this column and other writing for the paper will be happily received I'm sure. All I ask of you readers is that you be as nice to her as you've always been to me. + + + Ningiyuk's Igloo World Back in the winter we ran an article about Anna Rokeby- Thomas of Kirkton, who was having a children's book published this month. Well, Ningiyuk's Igloo World is now off the press and a delightful little story it is. I read it over the weekend and although it is primarily a child's story, it contains much authentic information about the north and the Eskimo that adults will find interesting, too.

Her love, for the northern people shines through in a very tender way as she describes their fun-loving but often hard life- style. Eskimo legends are skillfully woven throughout the poignant story of a little girl's search for her real mother when she discovers she is adopted. It's a book that would be loved by your favorite little person and it will soon be available at MacMillan's Stationery, in Exeter. The local library also has a copy on order. + + + Mentally Retarded Week This is National Week for Mentally Retarded,and Eleanor Scott, principal of Huron Hope School has penned some lines to express her philosophy towards these special children. Because of her experience in teaching retarded children for several years Mrs. Scott is able to speak with understanding and wisdom. Listen to their Laughter Don't waste your sympathy on these retarded children. They are more like normal children than they are unlike them, Like any child they love and hate. They feel resentment and satisfaction and pride. They can be hurt and they can be hurtful. They laugh and they cry. Use your energies to teach them to live in a world that they find difficult and sometimes impossible to understand. Teach, them that they are important. They can do so many things. Believe in them and give them the confidence to believe in themselves. Let them grow up with a sense of personal worth. Give them a chance to have what everyone deserves a chance to learn a chance to have the dignity of work a chance to make their contribution however small it may be a chance to have friends. Love them and listen to their laughter. — By Eleanor Scott When Robert Shaw, conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, appeared before the Rotary Club, he prefaced his talk by saying, "Since I came to Atlanta I have divided my time between speaking and music. In music I have better writers." and blood tests, have their teeth brushed with fluoride and receive their required vaceinations. This was the first clinic of this kind held in Exeter, and while the tests given are not included in the prerequisites for starting school in the fall, public health super- visor, Sandra Malabar, strongly advised it. She said it was designed to screen pre-schoolers for health problems that might interrupt their education later on. She pointed out that a hearing or visual deficiency could go unnoticed in a small child and cause difficulties with his lear- ning process. She said children are sometimes diagnosed as slow learners when all the time their problem was a bearing or vision defect. Children attending the clinic will be starting school in Exeter, Stephen, Usborne and Hay townships in September. Assisting Miss Malabar with the clinic was county health nurse Helen West and her staff, and several public health nurse students from the University of Windsor who are doing a three week 'observing' term at county health units.
