CLEVELAND MYERS The National Mental Health estimates that, at the present rate, one out of 10 children in the United States will enter a mental hospital during his lifetime. Naturally, we parents would like to dp everything in our power to help guarantee that this one child out of 10 won't be ours HEALTHY ATMOSPHERE We need to strive as parents to have good mental health our- selves and to provide our child- ren with a mentally healthy fam- ily atmosphere.

In writing romantic fiction, Miss Leigh says one 1s limited 'and the endings are nearly al- ways the same." The red - haired, green eyed Miss Leigh, holds highly individ: ual ideas on writing for young: «ters. Most children's writers, she says. go on writing the same sort of thing previous genera tions have written LIKE ADVENTURE Today's youngsters like their stories packed with adventure and action, based on life as they know it "1 can't bear talking ducks and erudite hedgehogs," she says frankly She thinks children are becom- ng slot-machine-minded that television is here to stay and that it has made a big impact on children's minds "They don't want lots and lots of description with little action-- they want the reverse n more Before Miss Leigh's publishers signed her up to produce chil- dren's books for six years, they thought it would be a good idea it she had a talk with a psychi- atrist "1 wasn't exactly psycho-an- alyzed," she says "1 was. ques- tioned - rather extensively over the dinner table." The outcome proved favorable and the contract was completed. Her second book, Torchy the Battery Boy, is due to come out this fall ALSO WORKS IN TV When she changed her writing medium two years ago she started doing television programs for children.

She was convinced, How- aver, that the Canadian dollar goes farther in India than any- where else, "The real .point is that here we can do so much for so little," Apart from gifts in kind. the USC gives approximately $50,000 (240,000 rupees) in cash to its Indian projects. In South India one rupee has about the same buying power as one dollar in Canada. ! On tour.
