CHILD GUIDANCE Chairman Of Local PTA Defends National Policy By G. CLEVELAND MYERS From the program chairman of a local PTA and county coun- cil comes this: "Im a column of yours en- titled 'Public Programs Often Waste Teachers' Time' you stated: ' " "The insistence of the PTA program committee that there be more and more public pro- grams by the elementary school children, usually put on at night when these children should be home, is often tragic. Yet the PTA professes to be a protector both of children and teachers. WRONG INFORMATION "In order to make such a statement, you must have gained your knowledge of PTA from one or more local PTA units which were operating in ignorance or defiance of all official PTA pol- icy. "Criticize us all you want to on the basis of poor perform- ance in a local PTA but please make the distinction that such performance is deplored as vig- orously by all knowledgeable PTA leaders as it is by you, and it is not true of the PTA as a total organization." SPEAKING OF HUNDREDS I was not speaking of just one local PTA, but of hundreds of them throughout the nation. Yet this correspondent is right in wishing I had noted the fact that 1 was "not speaking of of- ficial PTA policy." 1 apologize for my remiss- ness, for when I turn to the current Parent-Teacher Manual and read what it says on pro-| gram-planning, I find this: "The teacher should not be ex- pected to: 1. Spend much actual time In the preparation of the parent-teacher program. . .. 2. Train and rehearse children to take part in parent-teacher pro- grams, . . ." WHY IT'S DONE Local PTA's that operate *'in ignorance or defiance" of these standards set by the national organization do so because of various human frailties and pres- sures with which many of my readers, especially teachers, are familiar, In the article to which the correspondent referred, I named some of these human frailties and pressures. Some of them are so great that the most valiant program chairman can- TASTY WITH TURKEY Parsnip Patties go well with turkey for the Easter dinner.

At a recent world conference of travel agents here it developed that the Philippine capital is back on the tourists' preferred lists after years of relative ob- security. "For almost two years, tourists have been giving Manila a miss on their itineraries," a delegate explained. "Most said it was too |much like the United States. But now the swing is in the other di- rection. "We discovered that the women {were complaining that after a few {weeks of bouncing around the Far East, they needed new hair- dos, manicures and pedicures, and the beauty shops in Manila are the best in the world. So they began slipping Manila into their itineraries to get their hair and pails back in shape." NAILS REPUTATION Manila residents have long recognized that Filipino manicur- ists are the best in the business, but hadn't expected that they would ever become a prime four- ist attraction. The women of the Philippines are the most beautifully groomed this side of Paris, They take par- ticularly good care of their fin- gernails, A manicure from one of the Hoes paragons cost about two is about the same. The job can take a couple of hours. Even the men take advantage of this unique local talent. They slip into barber chairs, lean back for the haircut, shampoo, mas- sage and shave. A comely lass slips off their shoes and saws away at their toe nails, and an- other attacks the finger nails. The bill for the entire job runs less than $5. Tired of Being A 'New' Canadian After 20 Years Summing up the feeling of countless immigrants, Czechoslo- vakia-born Sonja Sinclair says that after 20 years in this country, she is tired of being referred to as a New Canadian. Writing in the April issue of a national magazine, she pointed out that, "a new hat turns old within a matter of weeks, a car sheds its novelty at the end of a year, new babies grow up to be- come adults, but New Canadians, particularly those with non-Brit- ish blood in their veins, go on being new year after year, de- cade after decade. It was rarely from personal choice that so many Canadians remained hyphenated citizens, the writer said, Often it depended on their looks or their place of birth. She accepted the view of Immi- gration Minister, Ellen Fair- clough, broadcasting last spring on CBC's Press Conference, that newcomers from the British Isles made "excellent immigrants", but asked if 'one might jump te the conclusion that the 'same' By DOROTHY ROE NEW. YORK (AP---The most efficient and understanding "mother" I know is a 28-year-old bachelor named Steve Meyer. Although he has had no pre- vious experience in the field, Steve finds taking care of 10 children a breeze. "Anybody who takes the trou- ble to understand a child should have no problems of discipline," says this pleasant and good- looking young man, "I just re- member that kids are people, and act accordingly." As assistant stage manager of the Broadway musical hit, The Sound of Music, Steve has charge of the seven children in the cast cannot be said of other groups, presumably the ones who are slower to assimilate to that my- sterious phenomenon known as the Canadian way of life." Referring to the controversy over our national anthem, Mrs, Sinclair maintained that it was a pity that we should think of |adopting a song that must leave |literally millions of loyal citizens standing in embarrassed silence, because they could not truthfully sing of Canada as their "native land". In conclusion the writer said she was not tired of being a new Canadian because she felt the least bit rejected or discriminat- ed against, but because she con- sidered herself as Canadian as the next person, Bachelor 'Mothers' Ten Children Playing in Broadway Show and their three understudies. ranging in age from eight to 16. LEARNING PROCESS | He also has to cope with their mothers; and this, he admits, is not so easy. But during the months of rehearsal and five weeks on the road, he learned to cope even with stage mothers by the time the show opened in New York. "No mothers are allowed back- stage. during performances," he says. "This rule is simple to en- force, because there just isn't room, "So we have a room in the basement fixed up for mothers and understudies. The kids watch TV and do their homework and the mothers sit and plot how to get more attention for their off- spring--but 'it all works out okay." Members of the cast refer to Steve as "den mother," but this doesn't bother him. He rests on his record: Not a single child has been late for a performance yet, all regard him as a pal, and one of the little girls has proposed to him, The children portray the fam- ous von Trapp family singers in the show. | "The one big worry of both the| {kids and the management is that |they're all growing so fast," says| |Steve.
