ee eT ey vy ee Ow Entertainment 'Listen for the Singing' Written for youngsters, book's spirit appeals to readers of all ages by Shirley Whittington Reading Listen for the Singing, Jean Little's newest book for children, was a double pleasure for me. The background Toronto in the forties - is a familiar one to me. Further, I've met Jean Little, and have been impressed with her warm and beautiful spirit - a Counselling specialist to present one day seminar in Barrie on death anddying "Dying has to do with living," according to Dr. Mwalimu Imara_ of Boston who, by popular demand, will pay a return visit to the Georgian Bay area in September. "How we are living is how we are dying,"' the specialist in counselling the dying and bereaved told an audience of almost 700 in Barrie last fall. Death touches all and, like birth, is a natural and universal experience, he said. Yet, we live in a death-defying society. Most people die alone, and death has become the 20th Century por- nography. Dr. Imara will present a one-day seminar of Death and Dying on September 22nd _ at Georgian College in Owen Sound and a two-day workshop on Counselling the Dying and Grieving, September 23-24, at Blue Mountain Resorts near Collingwood. Both events are being presented by the Health Sciences Division of Georgian College. Registration is limited and pre-registration with the accompanying fee is required by September 8. The fee for the Owen Sound seminar, which includes lunch and coffee, is $18. Fee for the Blue Mountain workshop (including meals) is $55. Package rates for the latter, including double or single accommodation, are also available.

Her father weeps. And her beloved Aunt Tania is in Ham- burg, where she keeps house for a liberal Jewish newspaper editor. Her fate is predictable. Anna's older brother joins the navy, and temporarily retreats into a sorrowing shell of self pity. Through all the troubles Anna realizes _ that "sitting alone and sorrowing would not help...the only way to hold onto her sanity and help her family through this dark time was to behave as normally as possible."' By behaving as nor- mally as possible, Anna brings her mother out of her solitary grief, and leads her brother out. of his self-protective shell. Together, they listen for the singing.
