"*Primarily, of course, you should buy books that reflect your _ children‘s _ tastes, not your own when you were a child," says Mrs. Ashâ€" down, who is ~responsible for helping children‘s librariâ€" ans select books in public libraries in the Region of Waterloo and Perth, Huron and Wellington counties. The fact that children read any book is a good beâ€" ginning. But if the budget can afford it, parents should try to buy books that cost slightly more than a child could afford to buy; and are well written, illustrated and produced. _ Just like adults, a child‘s natural instinct will be to Tryouts for a Western Ontario ringette team that will compete in the Ontario Games February 13 to 16 in Sault Ste.

Many publishâ€" ers are now producing high quality paperbacks, also, and this helps with the cost factor. Canadian books will enâ€" courage a sense of national identity, and parents should try to avoid books with racial or discriminatory overtones. Buying is often a trial and error process, but the quality of the book‘s content can often be gauged by the speed at which it bores a child. "A medicocre book will soon <‘be discarded," says Mrs. Ashdown, ‘"whereas books that are obviously well written, are popular for ever."‘ The ‘‘popâ€"up"‘ books or the ages of 14 and 16 years are competing for 18 poâ€" sitions on the team. Players are travelling to practices from _ Penetang, â€" Elora, Guelph, Woolwich township, Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo. Many small towns in the Western _ region, _ which stretches from Lake Simâ€" coe and Midland to Sarnia don‘t have players of high enough calibre to send to the tryouts because the game is so new, said Julie Rice of Waterioo, chairman of the selection committee. ‘However, we hope 1O have more of these kids as ringette becomes stronger in these areas,"‘ she said. Ringette will be played at the provincial games for the first time in 1976. Gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded to the top three teams in Ontario. Four teams from the westâ€" ern, Northern, Central and Torontoâ€"Niagara regions will be competing in the event.

But Mrs. Ashâ€" down suggests that ‘"‘series‘" books â€" such as Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys â€" can be bought by the children themselves since they are inexpensive, and they are often available in libraries. Today, however, the main problem is often deciding what to buy out of the thouâ€" sands of available titles. This is where libraries and conscientious book stores can help. Book lists in libraries, best seller lists for children, and magazines such | as Cricket (often available in libraries) can all help parâ€" ents pinpoint the well reâ€" viewed or well produced works.
