16 Bayfield Sir Valls Publisher MONDAY pzcemen Christmas Gift Project Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited eet Barrie Ontario Brian Slaigbt General Manager II no rm For The Mental Patients gThose of us who have had to spend some time in hospital know how import ant to our recovery was simply the desire to get better And we know too that prodding our will to recover was the as surance of our families and friends that they wanted us back Yet there are sick people who do not always enjoy this kind of comfort and enocuragement and many of them have been in hospital for long time Not so long ago members of the Can adian Mental Health Association spot checked number of mental hospitals across Canada They found an amazmg but common condition Large numbers of patients lived in them without recelvmg visit remembrance or gift from soul outside The only people calling them by name were attendants doctors and nurses When Christmas came it only intensr fied their loneliness the sense of being discarded At season when others re ceive useful gifts they got only what lit tle could be bought from the personal contributions of hospital staffs ISIC any wonder that their period of care in hos pital stretched out year after year Adults Back Canadian Conference on Education study says that about two million Cana dians are taking part in some form of adult education The estimate appears in Continuing Education booklet writ ten by Dr Kidd secretarytreasur or of the Social Science Research CounCll of Canada and the Humanities Research Council of Canada and is the sixth in series of nine booklets being published to stimulate discussion of topics for the 1962 Canadian Conference on Education to be held in Montreal next March Dr Kidd reviews adult education activi ties by business corporations night schools libraries universities labor un ions farm groups cooperatives church es and voluntary associations He writes that an educational revolution has been going on almost unnoticedthlsnre markable educational phenomenon is of men and women going to school Rapid technological and social changes have made our society learning soc iety in which people have to continue learning almost all their lives he writes The emphasis on adult education has Reason for this is not deliberate cruel ty or wanton neglect Often lts sheer mis understanding belief that because mentally sick person doesnt respond to visit with recognition he or she doesnt know that friend or loved one really cares Butbavent all of us been intense ly grateful at times for some kindness and weve been wholly unable to ex press ourselves We know from recovered mental mental patient Cash is not requested In fact its discouraged They want the evidence of personal interest in the form of gift to pass along to sick person wholl know by it that someone in the world outside really cares really wants them back To School been changed from remedialmaking up for deficiencies in formal education to continuing realization that more and more adults will be engaged in edu cation most of their lives This may be little optimistic but there is no doubt that there is such trend based on the changing requirements of vocations As Dr Kidd notes The engineer or machinist may stay with his company but bepromoted to the position of manager or foreman He no longer uses much of the specific vo cational information or vocational skill he has learned or acquired Now he must be able to deal with people to select train and promote others lie is in new realm and it is one for which he has no formal preparation And there are many others elected officials for example who must extend their knowledge Most people still do not accept the fact that adults can learn well and they seem to take it forgranted that their faculties are impaired Dr Kidd says In behaving this way they handicap themselves for learning Other EditorS Views NEWS FROM GOMORRAII Financial Post Now that it has stumbled at last into the Promised Land Hollywood appar ently intends to stay there as long as the milk and honey holds out Note these upcoming spectaculars planned by the purveyors of Bibleand bust epics Sodom and Gomorrah Mary Magdalene St Luke Barabbas Joshua and no fewer than five lives of Christ Even the lengthy Gone with the Wind will become mere breeze if the plans of one studio come to fruition It is thinking in all humility of course of producing definitive 10hour version of the entire Bible Thoughtful and practising Christians can muster impressive arguments gainst this cynical and ceaseless ex ploitation of religion Their most tell ing criticism however is this The Biblebased movies encourage the viewer to identify with the good guys and boo the bad guys yet the whole meaning of the Bible is subverted it is argued if man fails to identify with or recognize himself in the sinners There can be no doubt at all that the Bible has been good to Hollywood But it is indeed difficult to believe that in this case the Hollywood versiomis better than the Book SAVING T0 WASTE MONEY Financial Post There is little doubt that the much lacerated Canadian taxpayer will have deep dollarandcents

Britains political parties are concerning them selves with making sure that the British housewife receives good value for her money when she goes shopping in the stores of the country group of Conservative members of par liament has been making study of this subject and has produced farreaching plan Their proposals have been pub lished in pamphlet issued by the Conservative Political cen tre The proposals include one that Citizcns Advice Eureaux be set up to be used as offices to which customers could com plain when dissatisfied sys tem of dealing with complaints based on one which is already in use in Holland is recommended HOW IT WORKS The method of operating this systemissimple but interesting If customer has complaint that he or she has been were charged or has been given poor value then he or she calls at the complaints office states the complaint and leaves deposit of one pound $290 If the complaint is justified steps are taken to rectify it and the de posit is returned But if the complaint turns out to be friv olous and unjustified thenthe customer loses thc deposit The Tory MP who prepared the pamphlet reject the idea of setting up ministry of con sumer welfare Instead they want thevlaws that already exist to protect the shopper to be more thoroughly explained to the public and that weights and measures inspectors in every district be given powers as con sumer protectors At the board of trade minister should make consumer protection his special responsibility LABOR INTERESTED The Conservative pamphlet is the second sign that the political parties are taking more interest tpday in the welfare and pro tection of the consuming public The Labor Party has also been delving into this question and indeed produced its own pam phlet urging greater safeguards for customers in advance of the ConServatlves Some of the suggestions made in the reports are The shop laws should be re vised so that shopkeepers have greater freedom to open at dif ferent hours without weakening shop workers rights Every medium of advertising should have its own written code of standards says the Tory pamphlet and if the present ef forts of the advertising industry to produce more effective con trol prove unsuccessful the Board of Trade should call conference If after an appropriate time this conference does not produce comprehensive set of written codes then the government would have to consider taking direct action in the interests of the consumers lculate selfesacrificlng wife who was so lungthe Japanese ideal This story represents the tradi tions of the

gentlemnnly man slow and thorough he is not one to set flash fires And there are some fireeat ers in the group backing him in the house Now they have an example of his approach in real action And they can see that it works much better than their own freeswinging methods POOR PRESS Another angle is that the Lib eral leader really for the first time has made strong impact on the publicand
