The program starts with very simple driving tactics and proâ€" ceeds to a more advanced pro- gram involving more compli~ cated driving proceeduros. “The beauty of using this type of vehicle is that they don't have to worry about bal- ancing.

Students from grade 3 to 6 'are involved. and there is thought of going further. with a program for grades 7 and 8 upgraded to suit the age group. Each lesson goes on for about 45 minutes to one hour. and every class will have two ses- sions with the cars â€" three if time will permit. The program was introduced in a pilot program last summer when Constable Young took the first cars around to summer playgrounds. “A good cxamnle for the need of this type of program was pointed up in one location where there were about 160 children," reports Mr. Young.

Dr. Frei said the com- mon problem seemed to be lack of communication in the family relationship. lack of parental support and under- standing of child develop- ment. A lot. said Dr» Frei is heard of parents expectaâ€" tions. but what does a child expect from parents? Working mothers and busy fathers may feel guilty and become over - indulgent, shoving the responsibility for disciplining the child onto the school or onto the other parent. Children belong to the home. he declared. and should not be put in foster homes or institutions if it is at all possible to keep them in the home. Mother de- privation can be. a very serious thing. particularly for a small child. and if \the child lacks a mother or effective mother-substitute for too long it can result in retarda- tion. Although young people to- day are much more know= ledgable than their parents were at the same age, older people still have something to offer, Dr. Frei declared. “The old have the ex- perience of life. but they must exercise restraint. pass- ing on what can be useful, Referring to the case his- they they bur- but not forcing on the young which is obsolete.
