Hydro Studying Project

No Decision

Robert Bonner, chairman

|. of British Columbia Hydro,

denied Sunday that Hydro has
decided to go ahead with a
project to divert the Kootenay
River into the Columbia River.

Bonner was commenting
on a statement by Kootenay
West MP Bob Brisco who said

-the Bonneville Power Admini-

stration in the United States
has received a letter from
Hydro which states, in effect,
that Hydro would proceed with

Yet Made

‘the project designed toincrease
the generating capacity of the
Columbia.

“Letters of that sort should
be published, not construed,”
said Bonner, adding that he was
unaware of anyysuch letter.

_. He said Hydro is studying
the project but no decision has
been made.

“We wouldn't be in any
position to make any such deci-
sion for at least a year."

Know Your Eggs

Because eggs are a source |
of high quality protein, they are
listed in Canada’s Food Guide

A towering story of faith
and courage in the midst of
history's darkest hours.

as an alternate to meat.

A good clip on the ear may
not be the best thing for a
naughty child.

Delegates at a major inter-
national conference on family
abuse at McGill University
were told that sparing the rod
does not spoil the child.

According to a series of
high-powered experts from the |
U.S, and overseas, a heavy
hand does not produce an obe-
dient sibling, but one that is
hostile, resentful and likely to
pass on that violence to his own
children.

The picture they're paint-
ing of parent-child relationships

- and family life’ generally in

Canada and overseas is.not a
pretty one. Some experts are
saying that the, family unit is
falling apart. Others liken the
family to a battleground,

Said Dr. Anthony Storr, a
British writer and psychiatrist:
“We like to think of the family
as the abode of love; of home as
a safe retreat where any mem-
ber.of the family is sure of
support and protection; of
grandparents, parents, aunts
and uncles and children as a,
closely-linked network of indi-
viduals who will stand united in
the face of threat.

“The reality is different. It
is our nearest and dearest who
are most notably capable of
provoking our intense rage
and many of us find ourselves
more easily capable of identi-
fying with murderers than any
other type of criminal.”

Dr. Robert Bates, a Toron-
to pediatrician, said: “Over the

centuries various cultures

legitimized child battering «

to the extreme of lethal

ings under the cloak of

cating a disobedient child;”
“How many times have we

heard that severe physical

- punishment is necessary to

maintain discipline. Corporal;
punishment has always been a.
perogative of parents and of
many present-day teachers,

“Too frequently, children:
get the Dickens which reminds
us of the heartless bedtings
meted out in David Copper-
field.”

And then there's Dr. Eli

Newberger, of the Children's: -

Hospital Medical Centre, Bos.’
ton: “Child abuse has emerged
in the last 15 years as a visible:
and important social problem.” ;

So if child abuse. sount
like a big problem, it is, but t!
experts say it has been going on:
for many years, Cases of child:
abuse are even recorded in the;
Bible, but: it's* only the: la!
decade that child abuse his be
come a subject for detail
study.

It has, as one social worke
put it, “been discovered. Its a
in thing right now.”

An indication of the i
terest in the subject is that this :
conference, sponsored by the
International Society on Family
Law, has received twice ps:
many registrations as organi-
zers had expected. A similar
conference in Vancouver this
year was similarly over-at-
tended.
