The Brussels Post, 1978-07-19, Page 12THE TWO OF US—Canoeing is increasingly popular
in Brussels probably thanks to the influence of the
Cowans, and other prize winning racers in the area.
These two know there's no better way to spend a
summer afternoon than in a canoe on the Maitland.

12 THE BRUSSELS POST, JULY 19, 1978
Bluevcds has visitors
from Manitoba
Canadian Mothercraft has been
involved with parents of infants
and children in Toronto for almost
50 years. Our beginnings, how-
ever, go back even further to 1907
in New Zealand where the
philosophy of infant care was first
conceived by Dr. Truby King. Dr.
King was very concerned about
the high infant death rate in New
Zealand and felt that something
;:ould and should be done. He was
of the opinion that mothers could
Je More successful in raising
1c21thy children if they had sonic
'ielp and guidance. He believed
also that mothering was not a
"natural" ability but was some-
thing one had to learn. If there
were poor mothering models,
then there were poor opport-
unities for learning. This is still
true today.
In order to put his theory into
practice, he started a small
orphange with one trained nurse
and a few volunteers who under-
took the care of sixteen sickly
infants. They survived and grew
so well that Dr. King felt
vindicated and decided to begin
to train young women to go out
and "help mothers and save
babies". That was his motto, and
he did just that, It is interesting to
note the New Zealand Society is
still in operation carrying out Dr.
King's ideas.
In 1931 Mothercraft was
established here in Canada by
Mr. and Mrs. Irving Robertson
(Mr. RObertson was the publisher.
of the Toronto Telegrani),, and it
has been operating since that
time. The principle function of the
Society was the training of young
women as wel1,baby nurses who
would work With mothers and
newborna, as nannies for working
mothers and as infant specialists
