Well, Mom and Dad, that horrible week of holi- days finally came to an end. I noticed the signs of strain on the faces of many parents. As the week progressed their voices became a. little more shrill, their steps a little more involuntary, their eyes a little more furtive. ’ We had coffee on Friday with our neighbor. She served us mugs in her kitchen. (Even the mugs shook so cups and saucers would have been impos- sible). She sat on the edge of her seat, smiled thinly and asked if I wanted cream. She knocked it over in my direction when her child came scream- ing in to tell her there was a bird in the backyard. I caught enough cream over the edge of the table to do and suggested to the child that he get dressed and go catch the bird. Instead, he pulled up a chair and sat between us to talk. He demanded all of our attention. The adult conversation was punctuated with his peremptory requests for sugar (3 times) milk (twice) cookies (5 times) and the butter which he insisted lavishng on his cookies. When we still seemed able to talk over, around and through him, he tried a new tack â€" he discorered a scratch on his finger and walled until his mother cured it with a band aid. I never cease to be amazed at the body's resil- ience, nor at the great compassion of the Creator who works in such mysterious ways to bring solace to the beleaguered. God scheduled his favorite TV programme just at that time and between comâ€" mercials my neighbor explained why she wasn’t leting Billy out of the house. On Wednesday he had gone out and despite dire warnings, had wand- ered six blocks to the plaza. His distraught mother found him at 6 pm trying to get gum out of a machine by inserting tinfoil and shaking it down. When I inquired as to the nature of his punishment his mother bleakly informed me that he hadn’t been allowed out of the house since. His friends had been allowed in until a penalty shot broke a lamp in the family room. Now he was really being punished -â€" he wasn’t allowed out and his friends weren’t allowed in either. Billy accepted this philosophically, made his mother a playmate, bombarded her with conver- sation to the point where she was very nearly a complete nervous wreck. She tearfully asked me what she could do. Retroactive birth control seemed logical but unfortunately impractical. I have watched this child manipulate both par- ents since he was born. At six months a cry from the nursery brought one of them running to find out if a “bad old pin” was causing his discomfort. if they hadn’t been in such a rush they would have noticed that the crying stopped as soon as their steps could be heard in the hall. Billy had never known a playpen because “he’s so active he needs more room”. Dinky toys were allowed on the coffee table because “they don’t roll well on the carpet.” They'd never been able to keep him in his own yard because shutting the gate seemed like “putting him in jail.” Trucks and cars manoeuvred around him as he played with his tricycle on the road. His parâ€" ents were amazed and secretly proud of this display of his courage and bravery in the face of such danger. ~ September of his kindergarten year was a trau- matic month. Mother pushed him screaming through the door and then ran tearfully home herself. He didn’t do much that year because as Dad said, “he seemed bored by it all â€" they just sing and paint anyway.” Unfortunately, Grade 1 reading didn’t turn him on either. The teacher commented that Billy “was immature, very dependent, required enormous amounts of individual attention, lacked interest in doing any kind of phonics or reading seat- work although he liked to participate in oral dis- cussions of stories read to him”. His parents hope desperately that the school psychologist (whom they requested be involved) will find some perceptual problem. that great catch-all invented by the schools to explain poor progress without implying a lack of pupil intelligence or a weakness of the parents. When Billy’s TV programme ended, I left. His mother's parting shot was aimed at those overpaid teachers who spent the whole week in the Florida sunshine. If one mother can become so upset after one week with one child. I sympathize with any teacher who has spent ten weeks with thirty kids. Maybe we should have paid her air fare.

The proposed co-ordinated operating policy would hold local units responsible for developing their own pro- grams in conjunction with representatives of the region. Directors and other staff would be employees of the region and would be hired and dismiSSed by the region, being responsible to the com- missioner of the department of health and social services. Fees paid by clients would be paid into the region and taken into account in pay- ment of subsidy. Under the integrated pro- gram, the director of family services would become direc- tor of family and youth serv- ices.

Al press time a large volume of mail had been received but the number of objections had not been determined. Council gave two readings to the bylaw, which had been in preparation for a couple of years. last August. It was then printed and circulated. This bylaw will replace the former planning Bylaw 1000 and its several amendments and will, within the next two years be incorporated into a comprehen- sive zoning bylaw for the whole of the new town.
