The proposed po- licy lists several un- acceptable methodE of punishment. The most contentious seems to be the abolition of physi- cal punishment.

Your editorial speculates that most parents wouid like physical pu- nishment retained but most parents to whom I have spok- en disagree. When the Durham Council of Home and School Associa- tions reviewed the proposed policy they supported the abolition of physi- cal punishment. Their main concern was that the board be willing to pro- vide the necessary professional staff to support the other aspects of this dis- cipline policy. In conclusion, parents, staff and other ratepayers are belng gîven the op- portunity to study and express their opinions before a final decision ls rmade. It Is my hope that interested par- ents will express thelr views either through their indivi- dual parent groups or at the board's public meeting in September. Person- ally, I feel that the policy la good and deserving of sup- port. Yours sincerely, Ted Shiner, 6 Hawkstone Crescent, Whitby. Downtown merchant says.... A d's advice not accurate Dear SIr: Your advertise- ment on page 10 by K & M Cleaners of the July 28 Issue shocked me. As a professional textile technician I have to disagree with most of the printed advice given to your read- ers. For example, "Silk drapes hang- ing in a sunny win- dow can become rotted in 3 months" (quoted from arti- cle). Draperies are not manufactured from silk but are com- posed of a low per- centage of silk and other synthetics. With proper mainte- nance, ie. washing, lt Is not uncommon for thîs type of fa- bric to last longer than 10 years, mini- mum. The fibre "saran" was mentioned, it does not exist in drapery use today. "Darker, duller colors look less fad- ed over a longer per- lod than light ones," (quotation from article). If fad- Ing does occur it shows more readily on darker colors than lighter ones. However, if properly maintained agaln fading is controlled and in most cases non-existant. A good example of a long term, high quality fabrlc those carrying the trade mark Plein Jour. These goods are de- signed very careful- ly to stand up to ultra violet rays of the sun with proper simple washing techniques. Cust- omers that have Plein Jour talk about having It for 10 to 15 years and still ln excellent condition. These customers have never had the cloth drycleaned, but have always washed according to the manufactur- er's Instructions an average of twice a year. A Sarka, Ary's Gallery Limited.
