Bage @ THA TRIBUNE, WILLIAMS LARGE, 8.6, === : Phutsday, October 24, 1084, To Spankl{Or Not To Spank, Main Topic At Child Guidance Clinic Spanking as a form of discipline caused the most heated discussion at the Child Guidance Clinic held last Wednesday at the High School. Dr. Pauline Hughes, a graduate of the University of Alberta and of the University of Toronto where she took @ post-graduate course in psychiatry. was put on the spot by the questions hurled at her from the audience of over sixty people. Questions on jealousy, teen-age problems, shyness and discipline predominated the forum, but Dr. Hughes was unable to answer many of them specifically from the plat- form without more information on the background of the child involved. Dr Hughes felt that spankings were too often given because the parent was angry and giving vent to their feelings, rather than for the ehild’s good. “Giving vent to the emotions will not teach the child to develop control,” she said. One man declared that as a child he had been spanked regularly by his father for wrongdoing, and grew up with a wonderful respect for him. Questioned directly as to whether she would spank a child of her own Dr. Hughes said she felt that isola- tion was a better punishment for the pre-school child. In answer one woman questioned what you would do with a child who was so amenable that neither isolation nor spankings affected her. Dr. Hughes admitted that if a child knew right from wrong, he FOR QUALITY DRY CLEANING SUPERIOR Laundry & Cleaners (Williams Lake Division) OUR SPECIALTY Suede Jackets and Pleated Wool Skirts Articles left over 30 days at owner's risk unless otherwise arranged for. seeded’ punishment for wrongdoing. But the punishment should be con- istent and just and administered at -he time, not prolonged. Questioned pointhlank as to whe- -her psyschologists had actally proy- n that spankings had a detrimental “fect on a child, she admitted that he didn’t know of any actual cases. Before the film “Shyness” was hown which dealt with three de sTees of shyness in children and how hey were dealt with, Dr. Hughes ave a brief talk on children’s emo- cions. > “Childhood emotions are baffling,” he said. “They are very often out oi Ul proportion to the sitation, but hey quickly forget and hold no grudge against anyone.” According to the young attrac- ive doctor, children imitate ap 2motional outlook; thus calm par. 2nts usually have calm children. ‘Emotions are home-grown,” she said. Dr. Hughes was introduced to the audience by Dr. H. Atwood who act- 2d as moderator during the discus ‘on period. Also attending the meet- ‘ng were three other members of th« clinic Mr. G. Trasov, psychiatri- social worker; and psychologists Mrs 8. LePage and Miss M. Hopkins. (Ay 2 other member, 8. Carmichael was addressing a meeting of the Registered Nurses Association the same evening in her capacity as psy- chiatric nurse.) The Child Guidance _Clinie has made several trips up through the Gariboo for the purpose of inter- viewing children who are referred to them through the Public Health Nurse, the Social Welfare branch, the local physician or the school, and who are in need of psyqhiatric as- sistance. ‘The Tuesday night clinic was spon- sored by the local Parent-Teachers ssociation.

WITH IRENE SHOW BEEF SHOW BEEF The Cattle Sale is old news now, but as I got a baby-sitter and made a special trip down to the stockyards to take in the event for the first time ince we moved to Williams Lake, this column will have to be about my im- pressions of it, no matter how old. (Thanksgiving and a sick baby com- bined to throw me off schedule last week.) Everyone was quite amazed to ‘earn that I had never been fo the Cattle Sule, and 1 ended up with a vague feeling of shame that Thad aever made the effort before to see he end result of one of the main industries of this country, I left town with Tom Leach, CBC farm editor, who Was supposed to take me in hand and instruct me on the finer points of a Cat- He Sale. Bur Moos before we could get into the stand ind I finally wandered in by myselt My attention was immeditely rawn to the auctioneer’s stand and tream of jargon that was steel rim glasses and a white Stetson who gnawed on a pencil with toota- less gums as she regard her sale sheet. It was a gray day and the wind blew cool from the lake, and after an hour I felt I had seen enough, Frank- ly, except for the enjoyment of see- ing and talking to people, I could wait another four years before at- teding the sale again. Of course I don't know beans about cattle which might make a difference. Before going in for coffee at the United Church dining room, I watch- ed Jean Ross of Kamloops taking TV pictures of the prize-wining bulls. Like a lot of other people, I had ex- pected to see huge screens and cam- eras lined up for the big event. But ss Ross used merely a small 16 hm. movie camera that could be held in one hand. She explained that the ‘lm would be televised in the studio later. = And so I headed home, got part- way down the road and was stopped by the RCMP, and... but that is another story and another column. ted by Matt Hatten Jr, 1 lave heard the Lucky Strike auction- 2er many times on the radio, but somehow I did not expect the auc- joneering of cattle up in the Cariboo ‘0 sound the same. I sat for at least half-an-hour trying to figure out | what he y ying and {could make out it went like this, . ‘away we go, who will start at eleven, eleven we have, a quarter, a quarter, aleven we have,.a quarter, a quarter who will make it a quarter, ah half, eleven and a quarter we hav half, a half, eleven and a half we have, eleven sevent eleven seventy- ve we have, fair warning at eleven seventy-five” and so on until dt resembled perpetual motion. I was fascinated, and almost worked up a sore throat listening to him, “ I had repeated warnings from the editor, from Tom Leach, trom Joe Walsh, and sundry other people I met before entering. the stand about not waving at anyone or I would find myself the owner of a carload: of steers. At one point I put my hana to my mouth to cough only to wrench it down again quickly in case.it was a signal to buy. At another point when the man directly behind me was bidding, I went to scratch my head or something. The auctioneer swung in my direction with the bidding and I had the wild horrible thought that I had bought three heifers and won- dered how long they could live off the long uncut grass of our backyard lawn. Fortunately for the hejfers and my sanity, the man behind me had bought them. For the benefit of other novices, T will explain a bit of the procedure There is no wailing. As the gate into the ring was opened for 2 group of cattle to enter, other lots of cattle that were being held’ in a series of pens were moved up in readiness. The cattle were hazed into the sale “ring” which is actually a half moon corral bounded by the bleacher seats hold- ing the buyers and spectators. The number of the sale number was chalked on a blackboard and tha auctioneering got under way. Three men stood in the ring in front of the auctioneer’s stand to watch for bid and when the sale was completed, the animals were then hazed out of a gate on the other side. Woman-like, I could not help but feel a faint touch of sorrow at the thought of the end for many of the frisky young yearlings who frolick- ed around the ring. A touch of ex- citement broke the afternoon when @ young Brahma heifer tore wildly around, trying to find a way out of her confinement. The men in the ring ran for the fences while a ripple of laughter ran through the stands. Oue man remarked “I haven't seen Ralph moye so fast in a long time.” I was equally interested in the spectators around me as in the pro- cedure in the ring. Very young chil- dren sat with their parents and chat- tered heedlessly on; a young woman smart in a fur coat sat by herself: well-dressed men were sprinkled throughout the crowd which ran pre- dominantly to Indian sweaters: and nearby perched an old woman with near as Calvary Tabernacle Sunday 10:00 Sunday School and Bible Class 11:00 Morning Worship Evangelistic Prayer Young Peoples Pastor: C.
