' PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE _FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1948 | THIS WEEK IN BRITAIN -- Clinic Investigates Delinquency UNITED KINGDOM INFORMATION OFFICE In a red brick building in a narrow street of London's Berkeley Square, plans are being worked out to cope with the problems of Juvenile delinquency. The brass plate on the door says, "Institute for the Scientific Treat- ment of Delinquency". Big words and a big task, for behind these walls broken lives are mended. Ever since 1931, the Institute, supported by voluntary contributions, has been treating delinquent men, women and children. With the help of distinguished psychiatrists and scientists much good work has been done. But so much effort has gone into the treatment of individuals that a sys- 'tematic research into the causes of delinquency has had to take second place. Today the clinic has been taken over by the State and run under the National Health Act and he Institute has seized the oppor- unity to switch over some of its resources to research. A five-year programme of scien- tific investigation has been drawn up and a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists and sta- tisticlans will study the case his- tories of child delinquents. Here are some of the things the Institute has discovered so far: Forty per- cent of the cases referred to the clinic can be cured; 50% are due to maladjustments and disturbances of family life; early childhood is the most critical time; and treat- ment can be nullified if the child is starved of the other things he needs: money to buy little treasures, youth clubs, a good environment. A recent report shows that though most cases are referred to the clinic by the courts, other sources are social workers and philan- thropic societies, medical practition- ers and relatives. A small percent- age come to the clinic of their own free will. A third of the cases treated are psychopathic and an- other third psychoneurotic. Only ten percent are mentally defective and for every girl treated there are four boys. Council To Investigate Poblems of Deafness New hope is coming to the deaf in Britain. The- Ministry of Health has set up an advisory council to investigate deafness and the prob- lems arising from it. More than half a million people in Britain today are deaf enough to be cut off from ordinary con- versation. Main aim of the new council is to introduce uniformity in welfare services. Under Britain's new health service, arrangements have been made for distributing the government aid, the Medresco, now available to every patient, for whom it is prescribed. Many new distri- bution centres are being opened. All these points were discussed at the annual conferences of the British Hard of Hearing Associa- tion held in October this year. Also quoted was a national survey which showed that deaf men and women in agriculture, skilled crafts and the professions are the most con- tented and that people with pro- gressive and increasing deafness are the ones who have to do the vy uncongenial and poorest-paid jobs. The new council will canvass em= ployers to try and find new open- ing for deaf men and women and will also consider some of the psy- chological implications of deafness. Britons: Give Up Time To Help Hospitals Last year the people of Brijain had a crisis in their hospitals. Nurses were urgently needed if wards were not to be closed. Since then volunteers have helped to close the gap. By day they are clerks, engineers or homemakers, by night they walk the wards of the great hospitals as nursing orderlies. These part-time nurses have made for a much healthier staffing position- in Britain's hospitals. Lat- est figures show an increase of 9,000 nurses and midwives in the last year. Of these part-time nurs- ing and midwifery staffs have risen by nearly 7,000. Part-timers have not only helped the patients, but they have helped nurses too. They have made pos- sible the introduction of the 96 hour fortnight in many hospitals and a shortening of hours in oth- ers. Beds closed through lack of staff have been opened--=6,000 more than in the middle of 1947. In many of the London hospitals the volunteers are young veterans who give up a few hours each night to work as orderlies. Homemakers with nursing and midwifery ex- perience before marriage now park their children with friends and do valuable part-time work. Legion Aux.

Royal Baby Gaining, Mother Gets Up Daily By NORMAN CRIBBENS London, Dec. 2 --(CP)--Nearly three weeks after the birth of the prince, Princess Elizabeth's life at Buckingham Palace is gradually re- turning to normal. . With the consent of her doctors, the Princess now is allowed to get up for several hours each day and though she has not yet been out of the palace she occasionally leaves her apartment to visit her father, the King, confined to his rooms on the same floor. . After calling at the palace today, Sir William Gilliatt and Sir John Weir reported she is making "con- tinuous and satisfactory progress," while the infant prince is "doing well and has made a steady gain in weight." The Princess has easy access to the newly decorated nursery where the prince--three weeks old this Sunday--sleeps soundly most of the day. Elizabeth's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, still sjays close to the palace and also is a frequent visitor to the pleasant high-windowed nur- sery which overlooks an expanse of trees. Around this room, Elizabeth sees much to remind her of her own nursery at 145 Piccadilly, home of the King and Queen when they were Duke and Duchess of York. Many of the same fittings have been transferred. When taken from the nursery to his mother's apartment for feeding, or to see the King and Queen, the baby prince is carried in a dainty wicker-work basket, a gift from Queén Mary. Soon he will enjoy an antique rattle, one of Elizabeth's first playthings. For his first outing in the palace gardens, the baby will travel in his mother's own pram--a big, black baby carriage brought to London from Windsor three months ago for overhaul, : Though the prince's nursery equipment is old-fashioned his nur- sery regime will be modern. For the first two months he will be under hospital regime supervised by Miss Helen Lightbody, an old palace retainer. Miss Lightbody usually is seen in white overalls or a tailored grey suit and coat' with plain felt hat to match. She is a believer in bringing up children to be hardy. When Elizabeth and her husband move into their country home at Windlesham Moor, Surrey, early next year, a similar routine will be followed. There the baby will be able to run along a terrace directly outside the nursery window and will have his first glimpse of rural scenery.
