This child in future will be re- ferred to as a child with Down's Syndrome -- named after the man who isolated and described the physical characteristics of Mongolism. Mental retardation was one of the greatest social problems be- cause it affected three out of every 100 children. Add to this the child's parents, sisters, brothers, family relations and friends who grieve because of the tragedy. There are three groups of mentally retarded, the severely retarded who will never be able to care for their own physical necessities, the trainable retard- ed and the adult group. At Glenholme School it was the trainable group that was dealt with. They were taught to be socially acceptable and learn simple mechanical schools. They learn a little number work and reading only as was mean- ingful in their lives. They go to school from ages 5 to 18, After that they can enter the sheltered workshop or training centre. Here the adults were treated as workmen, receiving $2.00 per day for whatever serv- ices they could perform. In ad- dition to this a new program was initiated last year for the retarded from three to five PINK TABLE WINE MEDIUM DRY proovese BY CHATEAU-GAI WINES LIMITED MtAGARA FALLO*OAMASA ONOr ros" S WINES OF ADA DISTINCTION + +7 fo moke your feet fovelier 26 King St. W., Oshawa years.

As of January 1, 1965, the total operating and transporta- tion costs will be paid for the Glenholme School by approxi- mately 80 per cent by the Pro- vincial Government and 20 per cent by the municipality grants. The training centre will con- tinue to be supported by the Greater Oshawa Community Chest. "One would think," the speak- er said, "that the problem is under control but we are a long way from it." The work that is being done today for the retarded was brought about by the unwilling- ness of parents to accept the only solution society offered -- isolation either at home or in an institution miles away. It was they who started day classes for trainables, branching into adult and pre-school programs, But sooner or later the fact must 'be faced, that at some time, nearly all of these children will WANTED ! 100 or MORE SKATERS Oshawa Figure Skating Club Senior Section -- Adults ORGANIZATIONAL and REGISTRATION MEETING SUNDAY, DEC. 6 AT 2.00 P.M.
