A panel discussion on "Juvenile Delinquency and the Parent” feat- ured the monthly meetlng of the West Kent Home and School As- sociation held in the school audit- orium last night.

Taking part in the discussion, which was presided over by Brig. W. W. Reid, were Mrs. Helen Mor- rison, 'Pr0vlncial Welfare Officer, Mrs. G, Gouldle, Charlottetown Free Dispensary. Mr. Jdhn P. Nich- olson, Crown Prosecutor. and Mr. Hollis Jenkins. teacher at West Kent. Many of the, features in- volved in the matter were discuss- ed and the parents relation to de- " uency pointed out.

The Association voted to grant the sum of 315 to the Provincial organization whose formation was previously reported on by Mrs. J.P, Lantz.

Of Cerebral Palsy

"All those working with children who are handicapped by cerebral palsy are well aware of the fact that in these children the normal process of growing up has been seriously stunted," Miss Kathleen Jackson, physiotherapist. said last night. She was addressing a meet- ing of the Cerebral Palsy Parents Association at the vocational School.

A large number of such handicapped children were present for the meeting presided over by Mr. Daniel Farquharson, and were apparently much encour- aged by the talk of the guest speaker. It was decided to hold ali- other slmiiar meeting next Tl'l0IlLi'l.

Miss Jackson. who was quoting from an article published by "The Cerebral Palsy Parent's Associa- tion," said that whether the child's affliction made him awkward and dependent on adult help or wheth- er he was severely impaired in all motor functions. he had from in- funcy on failed to achieve in one way or another. the usual experi- ences of childhood.

Describes Program

"In the present state of our knowledge we are powerless to re- pair the cerebral damage and the resulting physical and mental im- pairment," she said. "Education has to make the best of the ex- periences that the child has had to miss. The program at the wellesley Nursery School. of the Cerebral Palsy Unit of the Children'.s Medi- cal Centre. (Boston. Mass.) is bas- ed on this principle. Far from ac- cepting the often stated point of view that children with cerebral palsy should be 'simply treated like normal chIldrcn.' thc program takes into account the very special difficulties and unusual develop- mental histories of the young pat- lent."

"The various therapeutic dis- ciplines (education including oc- cupational ihcrapy. physiotherapy. and speech therapy). combine -their efforts to make the child more efficient. self-confident. and serene. the speaker said. "The teacher especially has to grasp every op-

to understand his world. She tries to further social awareness. im- prove power of observation, and provide a wide range of sensory- moior experiences."

Useful Methods

In referring to some of the edu- cational methods that are proving useful in a program that is still in an experimental state. Miss Jack- son sald that if the world of touch. taste and smell was brought to the child it would help him orient him- self securely in his environment of orderly thinking processes. concept formation. and speech develop. ment.

In this regard she mentioned I number of articles which could be employed and methods used to in- terest iha child or group of child- ren and in this manner assist them. Concluding Miss Jackson stated, "The children in a group show wide range of differences in motor and mental competence. as well as in age and size. It takes a good deal of wmprelrension and flair to handle such a ..eu..ogeneous group, and to have them participate in one way or other in some of the activities described. Flexible grouping, 11 large staff. and an easy-going though structured daily program help. An infalllbly unruffled at. tliude. however. seem to be the most important pmequisite of ap. proach and methods that were pre- sented hcre. with the humble ac. knowledsement that they can at MI! help. but n ver undo severe and lrrt-parable amage."

poriunlty which can help the child 2

Mr. W. P. Maclleod. Chief In- spector. Fruit and Vegetable De- partment of Federal Government in this Province stated yesterday that on March first a vigorous and thorough drive will be inaugurated to enforce existing grading regula- tions across Canada.

"No new inspectors have been appointed to deal with the work in this Province." Mr. Maoleod stated, "the work in Bummerside will be performed by George E. MacDonald. senior inspector. with Albert Tuestis as his assistant. In Charlottetown E. 3. Ellis, senior inspector. will be assisted by Stewart MacFarla.ne. All four men are experienced inspectors under the Fruit and Vegetable Depart- ment. Potatoes are not retsiled io- cally under grade at present." Mr. MacLeod added.

"Twenty-seven towns and cities from coast to coast have been chosen for what is described by Ottawa as a trial test to bring about better conditions for con- sumers. Inspectors will call on merchants and grade various pro- ducts and authorize the use of grade cards for display. The cards will be provided by the Provincial Government to the local mer- chants. All fruits and vegetables will be graded on the spot. re- gardless of origin or previous examination. .

”No doubt the practice prevails to some extent." said Mr. Mac- Leod, "under which local merchants accept products on a loose basis of real value, which is far from satisfactory to both the retailer and the customer. This of course will cease under the stricter en- forcement of the regulations, and relieve the merchant from an an- noying and embarrassing position.

"I believe," said Mr. MscLeod. "that in a very short time such on the spot inspection will be widen- ed in scope to include butter, eggs and fruit."
