have been liv ing today anyway time the continued on page 1 i of progress that is regarded by welfare authorities as unsur passed anywhere the record goes back beyond 0 years actually it was in 1022 that a group of a dozen men members of a few service clubs in western ontario met to discuss a work their clubs were doing locally spontan eously each club had begun locally programs to provide crippled youngsters with treat ment at that time they had helped 75 kids but they lacked an important thing they needed a central office to keep records to report new treatment methods to arrange hospitalization which was then largely centred in torontos hospital for sick children out of the conference emerged the ontario society for crippled children financed by one half of an annual levy by the local clubs on their members the balance remaining with the club for local needs over the years between 1922 and 1917 the clubsociety or ganization grew steadily in 1935 a nurse was employed and sent to an orthopaedic hospital in the us for special training she became a nurseconsultant the importance of her serv ices was recognized when the provinces health authorities gave her special recognition as an orthopaedic nursing special ist in 1937 as an experiment in psychological as well as physi cal reestablishment of crip pled children the society op ened a summer camp at blue mountain near collingwood a seryicepjvith accommodation for 1g children by 1915 the work still jointly carried on by the clubs and the society with many more clubs now enrolled had grown to the point where 5 nurses all espe cially trained were at work a desire to help had resulted in local campaigns for funds in which people who were not club members could contribute in 1917 the easter seal idea was adopted today the program of the ontario society for crippled children is one of the most ex tensive of any organization in canada from 75 children in 1932 the rolls show nearly 10000 child beneficiaries there are 5 summer camps at which more than 1000 youngsters holidayed last year with ther apists and nurses continuing treatment programs for them a cerebral palsy centre near london is

270j2 the panel discussion has be come a popular way of deliber ating informally on questions of common interest this ex amination of opinions by the participants can sometimes in troduce much information and facts pertinent to a problem a number of problems com mon to parents were under dis cussion by a panel at the home and school meeting held on wednesday march 2nd mrs stan hastings as chair man called to the panel mrs thos wedseltoft mrs ron mercer mr reg button and dr s s ball the first question before the panel was how much freedom should teen agers have it was pointed out that much depends upon the child him self and here the home plays such an important part in pre paring the child to make his own decisions governing his conduct away from home his moral standards his training in the home are largely depend ent upon parental guidance the child who receives too much parental guidance is oft en handicapped when he finds himself on his own children who have been given some de gree of freedom are usually better able to cope with their problems the question of a set of rules laid down by parents was ex amined but the final summing up of this idea was that a gen eral set of rules could not ap ply to the needs of every child and it is therefore necessary for each household to lay down its own sot of rules regarding freedom and leisure hours the second question under discussion was does tv help or hinder education the panel agreed that this modern inven tion like many others has bro ught with it forces for both good and evil some of the ad vantages were pointed out and on the other hand the bad ef fects which are becoming ap parent dr ball stated that he as well as many other medical men opposed the idea of the general public viewing medi cal features on tv he suggest ed that home and school asso ciations could give guidance to parents by securing from the dept of education or some such source a list of recom mended programmes for cnil- dren he recommended that parents should very firmly con trol the quality of programmes and also the bedtime hour a discussion on the merits of tv in schools brought out the opinion that it is rather limited since canadian chan nels are so few also the num- ler of programmes that are of particular interest to students it was felt that a goodly num ber of teachers preferred films it was the opinion of one panel member that the cbc should be commended for pro ducing programmes of much better quality than american channels on the other hand it a deplorable fact that the cbc is becoming a monopoly which could become a menace if control were placed in the wrong hands in discussing jfae itoyd ques tion does radio help or hin der education the panel ag reed that it has been proven helpful with controlled selec tion of programs the panel debated its usefulness in all schools since it creates a prob lem in a rural oneroom school the final question under dis cussion was does a small town produce a better citizen than a big city this highly debatable subject brought about a number of interesting ques tions which could be the sub ject of many interesting de bates what are the things in a community that make a good citizen does it make a difference if parents are countryborn and their children are raised in the city or vice versa why is it the trend to move out of the city to the suburbs what accounts for the fact that there is much less juvenile delinquency in a small town in proportion to its population than in a big city are small town people busier with more community work than the average city citizen summing up the arguments it was agreed that chances of turning out a better citizen in a small town are about fifty- fifty a musical number by mrs byer muriel and joyce
