PAGE SIX: -- . THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1948 + Tracey Clinic Teaches Parents How to Help Deaf Children Talk Los Angeles (AP) .--The parents of five-year-old 'Malinda almost cried the. day .she rushed. in, one pudgy fist, extended, her face glowing with excitement. "Thumb!" cried 'Ma- linda. "Thumb,.thumb." e said it again and again, to every member of the family, all the neighbors, every passerby. 'Thunb, thumb!" all day long. . Malinda has been deaf since birth. Because she couldn't hear, she couldn't talk. She wasn't mentally backward. She merely had no lan- guage, no words for the things she saw. She had no means of acquir- ing these words in the natural way other children do. It took her months to learn to say "thumb." Hundreds of children are born as Malinda was. Without expert guid- ance they represent untold hours of heéartache for well-meaning but fumbling parents who strive desper- ately, and futilely, to help them. Malinda got the special assistance she needed from the John Tracy Clinic, and by way of her own parents. : Mrs: Louise Tracy, wife of movie star Spencer Tracy, established the clinic five years ago, with the aid of a dozen parents. Already it had handled some 2,000 cases, by direct. and indirect methods. The clinic is named for the Tracy's son, also born deaf. He's 23 now, and he talks. Mrs. Tracy's clinic, supported by public subscription, is staffed by ac- credited teachers of the deaf, speech instructors, psychologists, medical consultants, a clerical force to handle voluminous correspondence. Parents pay what they can afford. The clinic estimates its costs $950 a year per child, and recommends three years of specialized attention. : Method Unique In method, the Tracy Clinic is the only grganization of its kind. The children with whom it is concerned are all between the ages of three and six. But, most important, its efforts are concentrated upon their parents. There is a nursery school, but this is primarily a phase of parent edu- cation. Mothers and fathers ob- serve its activities, and receive spe- cial instruction in regular. classes. A psychologist from the University of Southern California lectures to them each week on general child development. Techniques, extending far beyond ordinary imitative methods, seek to instil in deaf children a true under- standing of language, rather than to create merely a mechanical sys- tem of identification by words or signs, said Mrs. Tracy. "We adopted the parental ap- proach because children of that age are almost constantly in the pre- sence of mothers and fathers. These are the persons who care for them, | around whom their lives revolve. Ability, understanding, love, the awareness of things stem from the home." We teach the parents to teach the child." In the nursery. school, one parent or another is always in attend- ance with. the child and the in- structor. ' Other parents may watch from another room, through a transparent mirror. From time to time a parent will take over, holding up the colored cards, a ball, shoe; learning how to talk to the child, how to hold his attention. Music is extensively employed.' Although the child may not hear the melody, he feels, through ear- phones, vibrations and rhythm. He may even actually hear the music at times, since deaf children have tiny "islands" hearing. of this, the clinic ds, will con- tribute . to his ul te ability to Early Lip Reading ; In the early stages of lip reading the child places his fingers against the face of a mother or an instruc- tor to feel the vibrations of rhythm of speech as various objects are identified. When the child can read lips, a means of one-way com- munication, at least, has been set up. "We don't try to teach 'them to talk immediately," Mrs, Tracy ex- plained. "Understanding comes first. The first word may come only after many months of work. But it will always come. "Even after a child begins to talk we proceed slowly," said Mrs. Tracy. "They may not pronounce them well, since they cannot. compare sounds. Praticse and time mean everything." Physical development of the chil likewise is pursued diligently. Naps and lunch hours are carefully obh- served. Games and exercises are provided on a well-equipped and fully-supervised playground. All the clinic's children are healthy and happy. If they weren't they'd never surmount the terrible barrier of si- lence between themselves. and the world. ' When they succeed, parents de- serve much of the credits, And, says Mrs. Tracy, when they fail, parents are largely to blame. "Too many mothers, and. some fathers too, see only the child's handicap. They neglect other phases of his development. In such cases deafness is a tragedy. But it doesn't have to be." The clinic has a long waiting list. A correspondence course helps many who live in other cities and many foreign lands. - Parents from all parts of the United States attended the six-week summer session. The correspondence course grew out of the initial efforts of Mrs. Tracy and her earliest associates. It is still undergoing changes as. new problems are encountered.

In making more than one crust i or shell, divide the dough and roll out just one crust at a time. Roll from the centre toward the edges, and handle the rolling pin lightly. A hot oven the first 10 or 15 minutes is essential for proper This causes the sudden expansion of the cold air which has been enclosed in the pastry during rolling. The oven tempera- ture then may be lowered to allow the filling to cook completely. For a double-crust pie the upper crust should be" rolled out before putting the filling in the pie. Oth- erwise the bottom crust may be- come soaked and soggy. The upper crust should be a lit- tle larger than is needed so that it will not have to be stretched in fitting on to the pie. Dough which is stretched after it is rolled tends to shrink again when heated. 'The upper crust' should be prick- ed with a fork in order that steam may escape during the cooking.

HOUSEHOLD HINT When _ laundering washable leather gloves use mild, lukewarm soapsuds and water of the same temperature for rinsing. An easy way to wash gloves is to put them on and than wash them as you would your hands, lathering the entire surface and using a soft brush on the fingertips and other special soiled places. Pull the gloves off the hands gently after washing because leather is weak when wet. Rinse by running like- warm water into each glove to push it gently into shape. Never wring or scrub gloves because this treatment stretches and may tear the wet leather, They | are staying with their sister, Mrs. | and A Merry Little Fellow ror DAVID FRANKLIN McCANN son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank McCann, Thomas Street, and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. David McCann, Court Street, Davey was a year old Dec. 27. y ~--Photo by Meyers Studio Wedding Trip to Buffalo | | | | | MR. and MRS.
