Flacbby Russians? An article appearing in Toronto's Globe and Mail last week should help to explode, the myth about the invincible Russians. It seems as though a certain je rcentage of the Russians are fabby too, or at least that's what this artical suggests. Quoting a Russian physiologist writing in a recent publication, the Globe notes that nearly two-thirds of the pdpulation does not take part in physical culture and sports regularly. Furthermore, the shortcomings in the, physical education of young people were described as "intolerable". Only 18 per cent of higher-school students continued to take part in sports and physical activity after their first years. It's nice to know that even though their top athletes can beat us'in hockey and just about every other sport they choose to try, the average rank-and-file Russian is much the same as the rest of us. This just- goes to prove the old saying about people being the same the world over. But the flabby members of all nations should not take comfort in numbers. On both sides of the ocean, we should continue efforts aimed at geétting the majority of the population back into shape. thin and sprinkle with lemon juice.

" I hope, in the next few paragrapbs, to show tbe sceptics among you, tbat art is not only fun and play, but that there are many other positive, beneficial outcomes of participation in art as well. For young children, the beginnings of tbeir artîstic encpunters are manîpulatative. Tbey touch, smell and mold their environment. Tbey pbysically experience the world around them and gradually make sense of and become sensitive to, its elements. This initial manipulation is so important in the development of the Visual Arts ~Centre individual, as it provides the b asi input un ebih furtber dalingswih teworld are based. Indeed, upon encountering anytbing new, both cbildren and adults wili briefly bandie (manipulate) the new thing in order to physically get in toucb with it and make sense of it. In our society, wbere so mucb information is presented visually in newspapers, magazines and on T.V., children must have these " real", manipulative experiences bebind tbem, in order to interpret the visual message correctly. (Unless you bave actually seen, smelled and touched a rose, an article on the beauty of roses would be meaningless!) Once the cbild then bas Retiring Teacher Honored by Women Teachers' Association NDPCandidate Explains Plan to Con trol Prices The voters of Durham Northumberland know that prices are out of control - for food and bousing, in particular. Said Fred McLaugblin, NDP Candidate in Durham Northumberland. Trudeau and Clark know it too, but only the NDP bas offered three solutions wbich are fair and responsible. FIRST - We have the Fair Prices, Commission. It would have real power to investigate Courtesy Cards For No-Smoking Area More and more offices, beauty parlours, restaurants and medical -practitioners' waiting rnoms are providing no-smoking areas for the benefit of those affected by second band smoke. Many people witb heart problems, and anyone with a respiratory illness sucb as emphysemna, cbronic bronchitis or asthma, will experience severe dis- comfort on exposure to a smoky environment, and real- ly appreciate the courtesy of a no-smoking area. Unfortu- nately, identification of these areas often poses something of a problem, as people try to reconcile recognition of the smoking publics' rigbts, with courteous enforcement of the no-smoking area. Unpleasant confrontations can occur, with both smokers and non- smokers becoming increas- ingly irate and defensive, and the wbole idea may be quickly abandoned as simply not wortb the hassle. Durham Region Lung Associaion bas recently introduced four new free-standing cards, eacb approximately 6" x 4", all clearly and politely identify- ing tbe no-smoking area. Eacb card is different in colour and design, and samples are available by calling 723-3151. Ail samples and any addition- al supplies wich may be ordered are provided free of charge, as another Christmas Seal Service. No-smoking areas help ensure that every- one's breatbing rights are observed, and that surely is, a matter of lîfe and breatb. THE SIGN 0F A GOOD BUSINESS NEIGHBOR.

For information cali Marg Bain Phone 623-2661 and roll-back unfair prices. Supermarkets and other industries have been earning record bigb profits while we've been paying record high prîces. It's time you the voters and I had someone figbting for us on prices and tbat's exactly wbat tbe NDP's Fair Prices Commission would do. By the- way, Clark and Trudeau voted, against the NDP plan. SECONDLY - Let us look at the NDP plan to help Canadians own their own homes. We've proposed a plan to actually reduce mortgage payments, not just give you a band-out at tax time. Witb this plan, a person with a $40,000 mortgage at il per cent could save' up to $960 a year - that means about $80 every montb in your pocket. Clark's propo- sal will add more than 3 billion dollars to the national deficit, and provide less assistance to middle-income families. FINALLY - there is the NDP's plan to help middle and lower income Canadians, a cost-of-living tax credit. The plan will actually increase, Canadians' take-home pay. A family of four with an income of $20,000 a year will receive $240 a year to belp figbt inflation. A pensioned couple with an income of $7,000 or less receive,$399. These are Tbree simple, effective ideas to help fight inflation. I believe Canada needs sound economic leadership. It needs Ed Broadbent and the New Demnocrats.

Slice the mushrooms The Northumberland and Newcastle Women Teachers' Association honored Mrs. Lois Yellowlees last week during a banquet held at the New Dutch Oven Restaurant in Orono. Mrs. Yellowlees is a teacher at Mitchell's Corners Public Schoo] who is retiring after a 16-year career.

At this point, the aduits must become supportive and encouraging. This does not imply that we show the child how to draw things realistically and teacb him artistic skills, but rather that we start building up the child's self-confidence. We should neyer laugb at a child's efforts or dismiss their work as negligible simply because we don't understand wbat tbey have produced. When we do this, we show our own ignorance! The child's picture will not and should not look like an adult's work - it isn't. The chîld is telling us about bis world using artistic media and we have to learn to interpret the symbols he bas used. Invite the child to tell you about bis work. He understands the symbols he bas used and will gladly sbare them with a willing listener. Upon listenîng, you will find tbat there is always something to praise or approve of in the child's efforts. This praîse and reassurance gives the child the courage and self- confidence to go on and to try other things. Witb the knowledge that bis past efforts bave been deemed worthwbile, the child will continue to explore and experiment. He will tben also not be afraid to eventually ask "How do I make it look 'right'?" It is at this point, when tbe child asks for guidance,, that the teacbing of specific artistic skills becomes meaningful. Artistic experience then aid tbe child's understanding of bis world and also promote self-confidence if the cbild's work is responded to appropriately. Tbey will also allow the cbild to develop as an individual. In a society that is basically impersonal, mass- oriented and competitive, the arts provide one arena wbere it is permissable to "do your own tbing" without automatic damnation. The arts allow the individual to express himself - bisý own feelings and bis personal view of tbe world. The young child portrays the world by using a set of crude symbols tbat he bas developed. He uses colors that suit bis own tastes and 4 I .4 whîch may not be true to nature. Later, the artist develops apersonal style that is totally different from any other. There are no pressures to master skifls within a given time limit or to perform them at a certain rate. In the world of art, the individual is allowed to travel at bis own pace, visit the places he wants to visit, take pictures of what he's interested in and do s0 in black and white or in colour! Artistic experiences then are not only fun and play. They are a medium that increase the individual's sensitivity to bis environment, they aid the child in, interpreting visual stimuli, and they promote the growth of the cbild as a self-confident individual. I hope that you will agree with me, that artistic experiences for cbildren are worthwhile and necessary in helping them become trusting, responsible, and responsive citizens in our society. P.S. An excellent Arts& Crafts program for children will be conducted at the Visual Arts Centre in co-operation and througb the sponsorship of the Northumberlanýd and Newcastle Board of Education, during July and part of Auguat. 4-6 years old. This group'will be given an opportunity to express their ideas and imagination tbrough a wide variety of art and related materials in a relaxed atmosphere. The 4 year old child should have nursery school experience. 7-9 years old. Paint, paper, dlay and other materials will be used to make, a wide variety of objects suitable for the lively imagination and exciting experiences of this age level. 10-13 years old. At this age, more stress will be placed on drawing, painting and the use of dlay. However, other materials will be explored and objects made in relation to subject matter used. In botb, the 7-9 years group and the 10- 13 years group children will be introduced to outdoor sketching. These programs will run in three-2 week periods.
