Representative Marg Killeen Praised for Her Presentation At Communications Seminar "E.C.E. members care about kids ahl year, every year. That's the message that you must get to the people of this province," said Commu- nications Consultant Don Henderson of Toronto at tbe Media Services Dept. of Ryer- son Polytecbnical Institute, on Sat., Jan. 27th.

Mr. Henderson, an Anglican Clergyman, is presently the host, of the C.B.C. Sunday morning programme "Meet- ing Place" and he gave mucb helpful advice to tbose wbo were present. He gave instruc- tion to the teachers on some good ways to go- ahead witb the Public Awareness cam- paign which bas already been organized by the Association to coincide witb tbe Interna- tional Year of The Cbild. "You people bave a bistory of over 25 years of excellent work in your communities and it is higb time tbe general public was made aware of wbat bas been going on in Pre-scbool Education in tbis province," saîd Mr. Hender- son. He admitted that bis own four sons bad neyer known the great benefits of a good daycare centre or nursery school and that it was only because of bis own personal interest in the recent Laurier LaPierre report on Education, tbat bas now intensified bis concern on behaif -of the teacbers of E.C.E. He pointed out to the teacbers that tbey must be aware of tbe existing barriers wbicb may exist, during their publicity campaign. Speakers must always avoid the use of tbe professional jargon wbicb may bave become so routine to them in tbeir work. Educators, espe- cially, must strive for a clear language style wbicb will state their goals and purposes. "It is the mind of a young cbild that you are developing - not just another facet of the system." "You must strive to fix, in the eyes of tbe general public, tbe splendid image of bappy, bealthy cbildren wbo are being led into tbe stimulating, creatîve, loving world at your scbools, " be said. "Try to tbink as your listeners do. Tbey will wonder just wbat you really want from tbem. Do you expect money; or time; or just tbe understanding of wbat a fine education every young cbild could receive in your centres?" To be helpful in clearing Up the existing misunder- standings which your audience may have, each member was advised to do ber homework and to know her material so well, that in the end,,there can be no doubt that pre-school teachers are well trained, caring people who are very concerned about every area of child growth and development. He, reminded the group that most of the general population bas no idea of the excellent facîlities which are compulsory accord- ing to the law." Invite groups of interested individuals to visit your centres. " He praised Margaret Kil- leen, the Newcastle- Bowmanville representative, for ber excellent twenty minute presentation on Early Cbildbood Ed. in the Ontario Nortb Shore area. He pointed out, to the group, ber effective use of eye-catching materials which included séveral large band drawn posters; ber local newspaper, The Canadian Statesman, with its current advertising regarding the International Year of The Child; and a child-sized doîl, wbicb ail contributed to make her speech so interesting. During a televised interview with Ann Paul, of Brampton, Mr. Henderson reminded all teachers to urge people to get involved with some child- caring program especially this year.
