lectors ignorance tbiiibtkr stouffville its a icog lonely road when youre all by yourself said barb beckett referring to the lack of support by the medical profession in ontario when she decided totry patterning as a treatment for ber brain injured four year old son patterning involves stimulating the body to reeducate or pattern the hurt brain through exercise massage and various other therapies the doctors turn around and say this wont work and then if you ask a few questions it turns out they dont even know a thing about it if theyre not familiar with it why cant they just encourage you to try mrs beckett is thoroughly incensed at the attitude of the majority of the medical profession in ontario and 7 s determined to give patterning a try despite it id never forgive myself if i didnt try it she said if the treat ment becomes accepted later and its too late for jason i want to do everything possible j now jason exercises every morning on an overhead ladder crawls twirls upside downj walks on a balance beam and goes through patterning- mrs beckett first heard of the program through another mother whose child had been greatly helped by it and on the recommendation of dr george decided to give it a try for six months after the first three weeks she could already see results jasons doing things hes never been able to dobefore exults mrs beckett the whole thing makes sense she feels that support from the medical profession will follow if more people in ontario get well through the treatment and publicize the results thats the problem though she said people have worked darriedihard for their children and they dont want to publicize what their child was like before mrs- becket says that often after their child gets iwell parents even move out of the- neighbourhood because they dont want their child to be stigmatized theres an awful lot of mixed feelings about it thats for sure mrs beckett summed up she saysthat a lot of people working with handicapped children in special programs are afraid to stick their neck it y oultbeyre afraid of losing their job if they talk about the program explained mrs beckett jbut if you know a child like this you have to take a look at things like this she says all her volunteers are very positive about the pat- terning they enjoy what they are doing because they know the reason why- she says at times you get a few glimpses of a normal child and you feel if you could just get the missing pieces together ross kennedy local lawyer dies sept 28 wellknown locust hill lawyer ross kennedy died sept 28 in

the- iwiiinflmonprogram are 4 were jjtf i after one year the antiinflation program is doingwhatitsetputtqdo the most important achievement has been the drop in the inflatioh a year ago consumer prices were rising at a rate of 106 by august 1976 that rate of increase had dropped to 62 this fall someunavoidable increases in energy costs and municipal taxes will affect trie rate of inflation in spite of this the first year target of an inflation rate of no more than 8 will be met- j increases in all forms of income wages salaries fees profits dividendsare also being successfully restrained on the averageprices have goneup less than wages this year this means that most canadians can cope a bit better we have more buying power than we had before theprogram began this guideline is designed to protect and improve the realincome of working canadians j while bringing down the rate of inflation all governments are restraining their expenditures the federal government is jimiting growthin its own spending to keepit in line with the overall growth of the canadian economy this means that every day hard choices must be made to limit new programs and trim oldones these choices are painful but they have to be made if the government is to restrain its costs and avoid contributing to inflation 3 2 triad 153 main st w stquffville 0nt the goal of the second year of the anti- inflation program is to bring inflation down even further to no more than 6 this can be only if increases in everything slowdown together in our kind of market economy prices have to bedble to move up and down to some extent but the antiinflation program does put an effective restraint on prices by controlling profit margins in the second year the price and profit controls are being changed to make the rules simpler arid to apply restraint more fairly among different companies they also include important incentives to encourage the investments the country needs to make the economy grow and create new jobs for canadians new investment credits will make allowances for company profits reinvested to boost production and productivity in the area of vages and salaries the second year guidelines limit increases to 6 as a protection against price increases with 2 more added as a share of national productivity nobody likes controls not the people whose private decisions are affected by them and not the governments that have to enforce s t them but controls were and are needed to bring inflation down and to assure a growing economy the program will beterminated by the end of 1978 until it is ended the government is committed to making sure thecontrols work hard to bring abouta continuing reductioninthe rate of inflation inflation has to be cut down to protect our personal buying power our savings and x pensions and jobs for canadians if last years spiral of rising prices and incomes had continued canadianmade products would soon be unable to compete in world markets imports could easily undercut goods produced and sold here at home its especially important for us to keep our prices and costs competitive with the united states and on both counts the us is still doing better than we are finally inflation also hurts investment and when investment goes down unemployment goes up after a year of controls inflation has come down progress has been made in protecting canadian jobs and improving canadas well- being the success of the antiinflation program so far has depended agreat deal on the a operation of many canadians with continued cooperation we can all look forward
