Mr. Donovan Jones, executive director, Alberta Council for Crippled Children and Adults, commented on the minister's remarks.

"The taxpayer will be the first to scream if they have to pay for work now being done by the diagnostic clinics, should the government take over," he said. Voluntary work such as this also brought in a widely representative body of helpers and it ought to continue that way, he maintained. The challenge was to go ahead, continue the work and develop it, he added. "As the minister has said, the government won't be taking over clinics, the job's still ours. This year a travelling team of specialists will serve three northern clinics and a new team begins operating from Calgary to serve another three clinics.

Expansion to Fort McLeod, Medicine Hat and Blairmore is planned, with developments to 12 clinics next year, and 14 within two years, to serve all the province's permanent health units. "When this is done there won't be a general practitioner in AJberta unable to refer a physically handicapped child to an expert of diagnostic specialists only a few miles away," concluded Mr. Jones. Main advantages of local diagnosis be said was counteraction against fear, ignorance and financial lack. Many famik ies hated going to a big'city for diagnosis where it also tock longer but would attend a familiar clinic.

By IRENE HART Of The Journal "We'll work with you rather than take over what you're doing." When Hon. Dr. J. Donovan Ross, minister of health said this Tuesday at the Royal Glcn-ora Club, he was speaking to women of the Oil Service Charitable Organization about their diagnostic health clinics. He said that contrary to recent publicity urging government takeover of the clinics, this wasn't expected.

Personal responsibility and community effort is better, is government policy, and would be pursued, he stated. "Your clinics will continue, I hope, to play their important role in seeking out handicapped children hidden throughout this province," said the speaker. He emphasized that facilities to finish the job started by the an average $12 each a month, the 75-year-old Roman Catholic nun has spent her inheritance. She depends now mostly on donations and says the shelter exists on a shoestring that "never quite snaps." Mother Mary Cecilia is incorporating the shelter as a company "to see that it is kept up after I'm gone." The neighbors still complain, but not as often as at first. They are told: "You talk and the animals can't, but everything has to say something." Mary Cecilia once had $60,000 and not an enemy in the world." Now the money is all gone and she gets nasty phone calls from the neighbors.

Mother Mary Cecilia retired two years ago after 40 years as mother superior at St. Mary's Priory. With $60,000 inherited from her father she bought 24 acres of land near Victoria and built the Good Shepherd Shelter for stray and homeless animals.

Edmonton parents who would have had a mentally retarded child were spared through special testing of babies at clinics last year. One or two such tragedies have been averted each year in Edmonton since the tests began.

They detect Phenylketonuria (known as PKU), a form of preventable mental retardation. THREE TESTS In the six Edmonton clinics and throughout the province, babies have been automatically undergoing a series of three simple chemical tests to ensure they're free of the disease, since the scheme was introduced a few years ago. In Edmonton 8,801 of the tests were carried out last year. Although these only detected one case and PKU is considered to be rare, it can only be arrested if caught early and the tests are felt to be well worth while. SIGNIFICANT "The PKU test is significant because it can prevent the tragedy of mental retardation," comments Dr.

ANDISON III Days Of Prince Of Wales Mr. Andison recalls how the old marble halls echoed to or chestral music and swished with silks at formal balls. Most grand was the ball for young Prince of Wales, when he visited Canada after World War One. He's now the Duke of Windsor. On another occasion a ball was held in the Legislative Building for the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.

This was a vice-regal visit from Ottawa and their daughter accompanied the governor-general and the Duchess. The Duke was disapproving of dancing in parliamentary halls. He did not consider the building a correct setting for social frivoltics. Rather it should be reserved for the solid tread of gentlemanly steps and business-like procedures conducted by men with brief cases entering elevators. Well, there have been other occasions a public reception for the Earl of Athlone and Princess Alice during their viceregal regime in Ottawa and a visit to Edmonton.

There was no dancing that time, but it was an occasion of state A Time Like Camclot The building continues to have its moments of social life. It's delightful, when the high crowned dome bends to the reception following the opening of the Legislative Assembly. And there was a day when it was like Camelot when the Queen and Prince Philip attended the luncheon on the terrace and all the tents flew pennants, not heraldic signatures but a color clue for guests to know where they were to be seated for luncheon Bob Andison can tell you about any of these occasions Just like a reporter.
