o MAIL TRIBUNE, MadforJ, Or. Wednesday, June 17, If 39 6 Emotional Problems Are Noted in Summer Camp Sending a boy or girl to summer camp for the iirst time can pose greater emo tional problems for parents than for the youngsters them selves. This view was expressed to day by Bruce Burns, camp di rector of the Rtedford YMCA, as boys and girls of the Rogue valley prepare for summer camping adventures. "Camping holds a promise of excitement; almost every youngster looks forward to it eargerly," Burns said. "But "homesick parents' can un consciously produce a bad case of homesickness in their chil dren. "It's only natural for par ents to miss their children," he said, "but many times they do the youngster a disservice by telling them how much they are missed, and how lonesome it is around the house with the children away." First Summer Camp The first summer camp for boys in the United States was started by the YMCA three uarters of a century ago. Sev en boys attended that camp. Last year the YMCA program saw 250,000 youngsters at tending 641 camps. Burns offered several other suggestions to parents who are sending their children to camp. He suggested that cloth ing be marked with indelible ink; that children be given a physical check-up; that par ents have a frank talk with the counselor; and that par ents encourage their children Finally, Burns said, YMCA camps make a conscious ef fort to provide the democratic experience of associating with companions wno come from widely divergent groups. This may be the greatest value that a child gets from a camp experience, he noted.

By Bruce Ducey Recently much has been written about the causes of present U. S.-Canadian differ ences. Perceptive viewers of the Canadian scene all agree that Canada is chafing under the grievances that are direct ed against the United States. The preponderance of U. S. financial control in Canada, oil import quotas, wheat "give-aways," water power problems, tariffs, mutual de fense, conflicting internation al policies such as trade with Red China-all these are ad vanced as the causes of an undercurrent of feeling in Canada which is usually call ed "anti-Americanism." Unfortunately, the surface examinations of U. S-Canadi- an relations inevitably stop at the point where it becomes ap parent that the sum total of these grievances is causing Canadians to fear that some day their culture, their coun try and their sovereignty may, without any sign of struggle, crumble before the giant neighbor to the south and be assimilated into it. The fear of increasing United' States participation in Canadian af fairs, is consistently being ad vanced as the main cause of anti-Americanism" in Cana da. What Are Symptoms But is this the correct diag nosis? Is the disease really anti-Americanism"? And are these apparent symptoms the real cause of Canada's uneasiness? What about other facts that have been working against Canada's sense of security throughout her history - the climate, geographic barriers, a sparse and ill-balanced dis tribution of her people, a clash of diverse economic zones, her dual culture, and her dual heritage - allegiance to England strained by re sponsibility to North Ameri ca? Then too, what about the general characteristics of na tionalism which are affecting Canadians - intense pride in their country and its future, the long-standing desire for equality and the need to be u n d e r stood .and respected among the nations of the world? Could it be that Canada's attitude is not based solely on the actions of the United States but partly on a sense of insecurity and a desire to be accepted? Pro-Canadianism" Perhaps when all these fac tors are considered together struggle, defeat, fear, pride, misunderstanding,' dual cul ture and .strained allegiances - the composite answer is not "anti-Americanism" but "pro-Canadianism." It would be difficult to dis tinguish the thin line which seemingly separates "Canadi anism" from "anti-Americanism" as far as Canada is con cerned. There is a maxture of both elements present all the time. As a result both nations must share the responsibility for improving mutual rela tions. Both must realize that Canada is just now emerging from its youth. Its mind is full- of youth's doubts, ten sions, and conflicts and with youth's boldness, energies and dreams. It is a new country in an old world. Canada and cept the. responsibilities of this world and they must rea lize that the tensions they are experjencing are the product of a divided world and that these tensions complicate the relations of all nations, not just the United States and Canada. Some Faults at Home To conclude, then, that this feeling of "anti-Americanism" is solely the result of Ameri can actions is erroneous. In many cases it is the Canadians who are at fault. They are too prone to cloud the real issues with emotionalism, straying from specific issues to vague generalities that on ly stir up "anti - American" feelings to unrealistic propor tions. Canada must begin to realize that the U.S. does not revolve ''around Canada-it is the opposite case. Only by ac- Geratologisls Due at The Dalles Week of June 29 Salem-(DPD-The State Board of Control meeting Tuesday said the first patients at the Mid-Columbia Home at The Dalles will arrive the week of June 29. The board named Dr. Rus sell Guiss, superintendent of the Damasch. State hospital, to direct the new institution un til a permanent administrator is employed. The institution will care for geriatrics patients, or the aged infirm, from the two over crowded State Hospitals at Salem and Pendleton and Fair view Home for the Retarded. It formerly was a tuberculosis hospital, but TB patients have been transferred to the TB Hospital here. First To Be Women - All the first 35 patients in the first group will be women. A second group of 35 men and women will arrive July 20. When the new institution was created by the 1959 legislature it was estimated to have a capacity of 200. However, doc tors from the mental hospitals have agreed that additional patients could be adequately housed. A permanent superintend ent will be selected from 57 applicatants who reside in 30 states. Requirements are for five years experience and a cepting this fact and striving for greater understanding be tween the two countries will Canada remove what observ ers .have called her "national inferiority complex". It may never be completely lost but perhaps this complex will be put into proper perspective. Americans, on the other hand, must realize that what they refer to as "the unde fended border" is just that a border. Qn the other side is a different country. While' it is smaller in population and while its inhabitants may sometimes mistakenly think that equality in land area merits political and economi cal equality, Americans must realize that the dreams, de sires and loyalties of this country burn every bit as strongly, as do their own. America must do all it can to understand Canadians and their country. It must realize that the sphere of American influence lis being reduced from easttv to west and-that the time is at hand for great er co-operation and under standing to be developed from north to south.
