Children With
Alexia May Read

With Fingers
VICTORIA (CF) — if a child
can't learn to read by using his
eyes, maybe his fingers can
“see” and understand words.
The University of Victoria's

nin

Psychology department has
found that a child suffering
from braln damage may be able
to learn the alphabet from
touch.

And so a child with alexia
(inability to read) may be in-
troduced to the alphabet with a
series of carved wooden shapes,

“Every child doesn't learn to
read with the same set of
senses,” says Dr. William Gad-
des, head of the department,
which is gaining international

ing difficulties.

Dr. Gaddes was awarded
nearly $30,000 in research
Stants last year, and enrolment
in psychology courses has
jumped almost 50 per cent.

In 1965 the department test-
ed 200 retarded children to de-
termine their impairment and

learning problems. Another 800
normal -youngsters were tested
to establish standards for com-
Parison. It was from these tests
that it was found that touch
could substitute for sight in
learning situations.

Dr. Gaddes, now 54, came to
Victoria College, forerunner of
the universily, in 1946. For 13
years he was the only psycho}
ogist on the faculty. Now there
are ten full time members.

LEGISLATIVE OBSERVER

(CP) George EF. P. Jones,
farmer British Columbia  gov-
ernment purchasing commis-
sion chairman who was remov-
ed from office by legislation in
1965, has been granted a
$15,000 slander judgment
against Premier Bennett. The
award was made by the Su-
preme Court in Vaneouver after
a lenghty court battle that will
likely continue. Mr. Bennett
filed an appeal against the
judgment within hours after
the Supreme Court ruled in
favor of Mr. Jones,

Mr. Jones had been charged
in late 1964 that, as 4 govern:
ment official he had illegally
acecpted a benefit. He was
cleared following a trial, and
a Crown appeal was dismissed.

Later, the premier introduced
legislation removing Mr. Jones
from his post.

Mr. Jones launched a slander
suit against Mr. Bennett follow:
ing remarks made by the prem-
ier al a Social Credit meeting
in Victoria March 5, 1965.

The remarks attributed ta
the premier, as accepted by
the Supreme Court last week,
were:

“I'm not going ta talk about
the Jones boy. I could say a
lot, but let me assure you of
this: the position taken by the
.|Sovernment is the right one,’
Mr. Justice J, G. Ruttan said
in his written judgment that
neither Mr. Bennett nor the

for forcing Mr. Jones to retire,
nor did the premier make any
atiemtp fo retract the — state-
ment or apologize for it.

“Mr. Bennett's equivocotion
and his consistent neglect to
retract or apologize served only
to keep the slander alive and
continue the injury to the plain-
tiff.”

The judge said in assessing
Mr. Bennett’s statement at the
Social Credit meeting that
normal member of the audience
would reason that:

“What Mr. Bennett is really
saying is that he could tell us
a lot about the discreditable
behavior of Jones in his job-
behavior so discreditable that
he dare not tell us about it in
public, but that it fully justi-
fies the government in getting
vid of him in the best possible
manner — and that manner is
by this statute now before the
House.”

Mr, Bennett's appeal, filed by
lawyer George Murray, con-
tends that the words which Mr.
Jones alleged were slanderous
were nat capable. of conveying
a defamatory meaning.

The appeal writ says Mr.
Justice Ruttan. should have
ruled that no version of the
words bore a defamatory mean
ing and that the words were
used by the premier “on an
oceasion of qualified privilege”
on Which the laws of libel and
slander would not apply.

Alon Saturday, March 4, to en-

‘np residence

that the words used “were fair
comment,” said the appeal
documents.
The appeal also claims the
$15,000 damage award was ex-
cessive, .
