When the band plays offstage. Harold Matthews will be ‘lts "conductor". John Grosvenor and George Sweeny work together to co- ordinate at least twenty persons' contributions to the play. All the cast and all the backstage staff are co-operating to form a smoothly functioning team that will bring “Rebecca” as enter- tainment to the public February 4 and 5.

RICHMOND HILL PHONE TUrner 4-1261 The retarded youngsters are generally one of three types â€" mongoloid. whose characteristics are short and thick fingers, thick tongues and blunt features. These are the happiest in the world and are usually kindly and obedient. There are those who have brain damages either hv Dr. Amoss has worked with auxiliary and retarded classes for a great many years, and acts as honourary advisor to the De- partment of Education in con- nection with education for re- tarded children. Dr; Amoss started teaching in the last cen- tury and has seen many changes and advancements. He served as inspector of auxiliary classes for many years and has always shown a keen interest in all as- sociations and school work. He visited the Thornhill and district school last week and was pleased with the progress of the child- ren. Growing Concern For Children's Welfare Dr. Amoss said the most ap- parent change in his years of teaching is the growing concern for children's welfare. in all stages. and the greater tolerance of people towards all types of children. In connection with retarded children there are now 25-30 schools in Ontario estab- lished for this group with about 555 pupils enrolled. Many more of these children are growing to maturity with the advances in medicine and this education is making them useful citizens, able to take their place in society. Co- operation of home, school and community towards this group can do much. At home parents should give these children cer- tain duties to train them to ac- cept responsibility. The special schools are bringing companion- ship and training to them which is vital. Community groups and individuals should show interest in understanding the handicaps of these children and aiding them to obtain jobs. These children have a vocab- ulary average of about 300 words which can be built up to 700 or better by special training. Most of their reading is learned by attaching pictures to words and when this is accomplished, the word is much more adaptable. They are taught to count and recognize figures rather than ar- ithmetic tables and this equips them to handle money and other important items in general 11v- 1ng. Physical training plays a large part since they learn to handle their muscles and to fol- low instruction. Music also plays an important part.

It is probable that the disease was taken into England by rats from ships. which had sailed from countries where the plague was raging. Every rat should be ex- terminated, not only because of the disease they may spread but also because of the millions of dollars worth of food and mer- chandise they destroy every year in Canada. The drug warfarin has been found an effective ex- terminator to date. It may be obtained in commercially pre- pared forms.
