Another bright: star is to shine down on the local retarded society in students moved to the new elementary school September when the in Section 2. To many people, retardation is of little, if any, interest. But if these same people were to glance at the stag- gering facts, perhaps their minds would change to some extent. For instance, statistics show that one retarded child is born every minutes and there are some 540,000 of these in Canada. Also 30 of every 1009 children are retarded; 25 are mildly retarded, can be educated, can perform basic skills and can become Jack and Jill school supported by the Children Prince Rupert and district. he local body has made great strides in assisting these handicapped children through the co-operation of the local school board, the voluntary help of teachers and the work of the many people who serve on the society's ert’s Civie in cash MONDAY, APRIL 15, 1963 of is They need your help self-supporting; four of the 25 are moderately retarded, can be trained to do simple tasks; one is severely re- tarded and will need -help at all times, usually in an institution. | There ware more than 70 causes. An accident of nature, birth injury, or fever in infancy can damage the brain. Rich or poor, regardless of race or class, a mentally retarded child can be born to any family. Like normal children, love, care and tenderness will help. Special day schools, sheltered workshops, family counselling and recreation facilities are some of the methods that help them grow. Of all the afflictions which disable children, mental retardation is by far the most common. It is an unfortunate situation, but on the brighter side we see that almost all of them can be helped with proper ‘are and attention, and this is why the Canadian Association for Returd- ed Children is attempting to raise $1,009,000 to encourage research for helping and preventing retardation. It must not be forgotten that any are of us could turn out to be the parents of a retarded child. We must face up to the facts and at the same time thank our lucky stars many of our children are not victims of retarda- tion. Society for oF it over. And while offering our thanks we may, and really should, offer our fi- nancial help to the local or national campaign, Money can be sent to the Retarded =» Prince Rupert and District, Box 441.

Think Children of Now Robarts is sitting pretty TORONTO (TNS'-—~ Results of Canada’s federal election will almost certainly ward off any Ontario provincial elec- tion before the Fall. Even so, Premier John Robarts should have little difficulty in win- hing another four-year term fur Ontario's 20-year-old Con- servative administration, This was one imunediate ef- fect of Monday's federal vote. Premier Ieobart’s who won his battle spurs in the pive and take of Jegislative debate during the eurrent — session, has been teetering between a June ar September provincial reneral election, He will probably choose the September date in order to let the dust of the federal vote settle. But the Premier is urn ed with the knowledge that the opposition Liberal und NDP proups have seen their Ctlarts fall far short of expee- tfations-on a provincial level—- in-reeent months. The Liberals in Ontario had acd their big hopes provin- clilly on a ringing condemna- tion of the Government as a result of Mr. Justice Wilfrid T) Roaeh’s report on erlme in Ontario. Instead, the cleared Queen's Park. And throughout the Legis- lative session, which started in November and has now re- cessed for the Easter holidays, the Government has introdhe- a comprehensive and far- reaching legislative program which has taken the ball away from the Opposition, The Opposition complaint near the end of most sessions has been that the Government has heen trying to cram {hrough” legislation at the last minute.

Great day for the lady By ELIZABETH DINGMAN Toronto Telegram News Service Four women won seats in the Commons Monday night— a tough triumvirate of Lib- erals and a lone Conservative. The Liberals — jaunty Judy LaMarsh returned in Niagara Falls; 63-year-old grandmoth- er Margaret Konantz whose circus-type campaign won her Winnipeg Squth and made her the first -wornan MP from Manitoba: and political scien- tist Pauline Jewett who comes to the Commons for the first time from Northumberland.
