THE GUARDIAN Friday December 13 1968 5 Choosing '80 a week, and be my TGWU stalls on motor hospital 'blight' ti -a -a own boss? You must be i talks counci By our Welfare Correspondent Immediate Government Cambridge; Mr L. P. Scott, chairman of the Manchester Guardian and Evening News Ltd. Mr Peter BuEough, president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce of London and Mr Roger Moss, who has been the national project manager of the competition. The winners will receive their awards at a dinner in Manchester tonight.

There as still some confusion about the Junior Chambers movement. Many people regard it as part of the Association of British Chambersof Commerce. Although the two are closely linked, their ams are different. Members of Junior Chambers join as individuals, and not as representatives of their companies. The movement is intent on developing leadership ability among its members, and is not the guardian of the commercial community.

In the United States, where the movement began, there are nearly 250,000 members. In Britain, where the first Junior Chamber was opened in Lincoln in 1926, there are about 7,000 members, and the movement is growing rapidly. The British movement claims that it is, in effect, the largest out-of-hours management training school in Britain. Its members do not believe in sitting around, or employing someone to talk or teach specif.o techniques. They buckle down to all sorts of problems, and, in a way, their management training is achieved as a byproduct.

Typical Junior Chamber activities include Chester formed in 1964 where the members published a report on tourism which resulted in the setting up of a tourist information centre. Harrogate Junior Chamber's first project was a survey on car parking. It advocated a disc-parking system, and this was adopted in the town. Burnley Junior Chamber has initiated seminars on decimalisation, and has been involved in making a film about a changing, up-to-date town. On Teesside, the Junior Chamber brought together various civic groups so that a proper launching could be given to the new county borough.

The movement set itself a target of a 50 per cent increase in membership this year, and looks like reaching it The aim is to set up a Junior Chamber in every community of more than 20,000 people, and the hopes are that the standard of management performance will be raised, and a greater feeling of responsibility created among British citizens. A CONCERT pianist, a transatlantic single-handed yachtsman, and four go-ahead business men are the finalists in the Junior Chambers of Commerce movement's Outstanding Young Men of the Year" awards which are to be decided in Manchester today. The competition, which is sponsored by the Guardian," was organised by the movement because it wanted the achievements of younger people to be known and recognised. Entries have been received from the movement's 11 regional groups, and a panel of judges will interview the finalists today, then tackle the difficult job of deciding which three should be named as outstanding young men. The regional finalists are Midlands.

The Confederation therefore was writing to all the unions within the CSEU to see where they stood, although he knew the TGWU was still being obstinate. It was necessary, however, to stop unofficial strikes.

Without the TGWU, one of the three largest unions in the car industry, the council is a dead duck.

Mr Loring was speaking at Sheffield University, where he was presenting a cheque to the department of psychology as the first instalment of a grant of 25,000 for research into the comparative development of normal and handicapped children. Urgent need As a matter of extreme urgency, Mr Loring said, the Government should review hospital and local authority plans and without delay create more hostels, day centres, and short-stay facilities for handicapped children.

There should be a central inspectorate to look after patients in subnormality institutions, and more medical teaching on their problems as well as greater use of nonmedical staff in their care. The aim should be that no. handicapped child is admitted to an institution unless it has special facilities. Conditions in some of the institutions had been brought to the attention of the authorities by the Spastics Society time, and again, but there had-been little or no action.

Job evaluation Union leaders do not think Mrs Castle will allow the present impasse to continue. They hope, as the originator of the idea, that she will call in the TGWU for discussions and point out that the union is standing in the way of a peace plan for the car industry. Now that the engineering pay deal has been signed for three million workers, the unions and employers are to start talking about job evaluation for the 600,000 women in the industry. Mr Green said that a working party would be visiting firms, and particularly the Lucas group which employed predominantly women.

The CSEU has decided to scrap its own voluntary procedure dealing with racial discrimination and 'Powellism' changed Mr Enoch Powell is sorry that his name has become synonymous with a policy on immigration. Writing in the quarterly Swin-ton Journal," published by the Swmton Conservative College, he writes: "Recently, the word 'Powellism' has rather changed its connotation. Under the heading, Conservatism and social problems," Mr Powell says that the recent controversy on immigration illustrates very well the social consequences of legal inertia." He adds It was a principle of the law of this country that our status derives from our being born within ithe allegiance. However, it came about by a series of steps that the law of this country, however one defines the idea of belonging, could not distinguish between those who belong to this country, and some seven or eight hundred million human beings living iti other parts of the world."

Children injured on escalators were in almost every case wearing Wellington boots, according to a surgeon, Mr Alexander Kates. Mr Kates, who has twice had to amputate children's legs after such accidents, is orthopaedic and traumatic surgeon to the Chelsea and Kensington Group of hospitals.

He writes in the January edition of "Focus," the Consumer Council's magazine, that since PVC (vinyl) was introduced into Wellington boots, they had become sticky, and could get stuck in a small space with the child's foot inside.
