MEETING HELD Sitting on a hard chair, in a Church basement, listen- ing to some chap talking about Mental Retardation wasn't exactly my idea of a fun evening. Being a member of the local press, and having been invited to attend the annual meeting of the Association for the Mentally Retatded in Terrace Bay, | went. To most of us, who have been fortunate enough to have physically and mentally healthy children, and grandchildren, mental retardation is just something that happens to other people. Or so | thought till | heard Bill Saya, Regional Advisor for Northwestern Ontario, for the Ontario Association fro the Mentally retarded. Mr. Saya is a magnetic speaker, and he knows where it's at. Two of his six children are men- tally retarded, and listening to him turned out to be a fascinating evening. As Mr. Saya, talking layman's language, presented some of the causes of mental retardation, and some of the preventive measures that can be taken, it became increasingly clear that every= one should be involved in the subject. No longer are mentally retarded children hidden in a closet, or sent off to institutions, to be cared for by other people till they die. | As Mr. Saya pointed out, mentally retarded children need love, perhaps mote than others. They need under= standing and acceptance in the community in which they live. The Parents need this understanding too. Mr. Saya, and others like him, are doing a tremen- dous service to bring this subject out into the open, and to offer help to parents who don't know where to turn for this kind of help.
