But case histories of children whose reaction to relaxation of the tension of overplacement has been immediate and dramatic, and testimony of parents who have had the courage to hold their children back has been more than convincing, she said. With an uncanny instinct based on knowledge and experience, Dr.

Ilg can instantly identify where a small child is developmentally as compared with his calendar By KATHLYN RUSSELL T-A Staff Writer ESCONDIDO Frances Ilg, MD, has spent a professional lifetime studying the development of children. The internationally respected expert, whose books for the Gesell Institute have guided teachers and parents on the childs emotional development as Benjamin Spock guided their physical care, is in Escondido giving a workshop for teachers. Dr. Ilg has devoted herself for some years now to stressing the importance of proper placement of children in school. She is convinced that placement from kindergarten and the third grader who daydreams in class and brings home piles of homework with which he or she needs help from mommy.

The college dropout, the job problem and the young adult suicide might very well have had a different life if he or she had been taken at a slower pace through the primary grades in school, she said. You dont get far asking who is to blame, Dr. Ilg said, but the task of changing the attitudes of parents, teachers and the educational establishment is monumental. It is made worse by the fact that the results of Trailer park plan rejected SAN DIEGO (CNA) The county planning commission has turned back another attempt for a mobilehome park on 136 acres in the Moosa Canyon. E.L.

Trendel and Associates, represented by Lee Evans, wanted a special use permit for the park, located one mile southwest of the intersection of Lilac Road and Highway 395. The previous permit showed 660 spaces and the current one 360 spaces. The permit was opposed by the planning department, which said it was an intrusion of high density use into a rural area with poor road access. It said the park, if established, would set a precedent that would require services from the county which would probably cost far above the amount of property taxes it would contribute. A local farmer also opposed allowing a population density of that type proposed in the middle of an intensive farming area.

He said the odors and flies inherent to some farm operations would soon be in conflict with the residents. Evans claimed the park would be compatible with only 2.66 units per acre. He said it was planned as a self-contained community for retired persons. His plot plan showed a greenbelt of avocado and citrus trees completely surrounding the living portion of the park. Vistan gets teacher post VISTA Guy Miller, a former San Francisco teacher who lives in Vista, has been hired to teach in continuation school in the Oceanside Unified School District.

Nills, 43, will be the only Negro male teacher in the district, which has been charged by a Negro woman teacher with being prejudiced and having no minority race administrators. If I thought that was the reason I was hired, I would not take the Mills said. He said he had applied two years ago and the district a kept file active and we kept in touch. Mills, who received his bachelors degree in physical education from Purdue and his masters degree from San Francisco State College, said he has had experience in speech, English, counseling and working with problem children. Carson Days slates OKd age, which is the misleading guideline used for traditional school placement.

She told the teachers that the half year is as significant a period of growth in the young child as the full year, and that there is a world of difference between the early birthdays and late birthdays in kindergarten. She outlined physical and behavioral characteristics of the typical child from age 4 to 11, on the half year, and showed that many children exhibit traits younger than their Cont.On Page B-7, Col. 2 vNir. Staff Photo by Dan Rios stressed ESCONDIDO The official program for Kit Carson Days, Sept. 9-12, has been outlined and adopted by the celebration committee for the event.

It appears that the printed program will occupy almost twice as much space as that prepared for the 1970 celebration. One of the highlights of reports made by chairmen of the activities for the four-day celebration was presented at a recent meeting of the committee by Paul Carmickle when he outlined plans for a costume contest. Carmickle, associated with the Avco Financial Service, says Escondido has been divided into five areas for judging of the contest. Judges will be senior citizens, headed by rs. Dee Furnal, Senior Center superintendent.

There will be first, second and third place prizes for business institutions and first, second and third place awards for individuals, with Escondido judged as a whole. Costumes may be Mexican, early American, Western or Indian attire. Individual places of business will be urged to have intrastore contests, Carmickle said. Lifes Like That Nippon has last word By Bob MacDonald A Japanese industrialist recently advised West Coast manufacturers to label some of their products Made for Japan, and they might find a more receptive market for their goods. The rather ghoulish aspect of the thing, of course, was that Japanese industrialists are not given to making cracks to get a laugh or two.

I feel that we may take this suggestion in all seriousness. Our government admits that the exportation of U.S. goods to nations around the world is declining, and cites such staples as rising costs of labor and raw materials, which is a patent way of giving out a panacea when the nations ills give warning of becoming terminal. In Japan, where trade unions are now gaining a precarious foothold, wages still are so low as to be ridiculous compared with our own. Things may be looking up, but its going to take some time like another 20 or 30 years before industry has a real problem.

Longshoremen in Nippon, for instance, received a raise in pay as recently as 1969, when their daily stipend hovered around $1 per day, in American money. Fraction of U.S. pay Small and wiry, these men work the dockside of a ship, unloading the sort of cargoes we ship to Japan (iron ore, soy beans, grains, etc.) for a fraction of the pay the men on our docks get to unload Japanese ships. As the bulk of them are Buddhists, they do not observe our religious holidays and work on Sundays, Saturdays and all hours of the night for the same pay as they work, say, on a Tuesday afternoon. Under contract to a longshore organization, they work for their wage and at noon (or suppertime, if they are working at night), they get their meal thrown in.

The meal is a good indication as to why they stay lean and wiry. It is always the same, regardless of the hour of the day. It comes in a little cardboard box, partitions of which contain a few pieces of raw fish and some rice and a pair of chopsticks. In a lunch or dinner hour of 20 minutes, give or take a few seconds, he has emptied the box and is back on the job, which, in any country or clime, is a backbreaking I have often seen these little lunches. I have indeed been invited to have one while trying to converse with the working stiffs.

Being a meat and potato operator, who has been known to order egg foo yung in a high class Oriental restaurant because thats all that looks good to me, I could not see any logic in eating something I didnt like and possibly depriving a working man of something that he did like. Besides, if I liked the stuff, how about six or eight of those little boxes? One of them didnt contain enough for a decent hors oeuvre. We in this country buy Japanese cars like crazy. Americans cannot even build American cars in Japan. To ship in a new U.S.

car, one is faced with paying 100 per cent duty, which makes the crate cost just double. This is true in countries other than Japan, of course. In shipbuilding, foreign capital was limited to 50 per cent ownership until 1969, when the Japanese Shipbuilders Association decided that Japan was dominating the world shipbuilding market and recommended to the Transport Ministry that complete liberalization be brought to the shipbuilding trade, allowing foreign investors to move in this year. British order from Japan A freighter built in the United States costs about $12 million. In Japan, the same size ship costs about $8 million.

Even the British, once the worlds greatest builders of ships, now order them from Japan. One of the big Japanese makers of television sets which glut our stores originally obtained TV blueprints from a large U.S. manufacturer, in return for complete technical information on (the Japanese firms) work in the field of color television tubes. The agreement between the U.S. firm and the Japanese firm was made in 1954.

In 1968, the U.S. firm filed suit in Tokyo charging the Nippon firm with failure to turn over any material showing the development and improvement of the color tube. An executive of the Japanese firm at the time of the suit issued a statement that the U.S. legal charge was totally without merit. And that was that.

When President Nixon took office, Japanese plate glass makers expressed concern over their $10 million annual shipments of that commodity to the United States, as Nixons administration was investigating charges that Belgian plate glass makers were dumping huge stocks of glass in the United States under an agreement which also governs the Japanese glass trade. fears were groundless. Their glass still rolls in. When I was a kid, Mr. Hearst and his major domo, the redoubtable Mr.

Arthur Brisbano, filled front pages with cries for Protective Tariffs. And they had little reminders all over the paper Buy America First. What in the world ever happened to the Protective Tariff? Possibly, as we are still (by an ever narrowing margin) the richest country in the world, we should pay the highest wages in the world. And if so, perhaps we should buy the stuff we make, even though its becoming the highest-priced stuff in the world. by developmental or maturity levels is the key to nothing less than their success in life.

Hers is an uphill battle, because 85 to 90 per cent of all children are overplaced, she told 45 teachers from Escondido, Poway and other North County districts at the opening session of the workshop at Miller School. The small boy who constantly disrupts the class, picks fights on the playground and rebels at home is probably trying to achieve on a level for which he is not ready, she said. So is the little girl who falls asleep the minute she gets home There will be no advance signup, Carmickle said. The judges expect to get around to all places of business during the four days of the celebration. The Downtown Business Association has sent out letters to its members urging 100 per cent cooperation in the contest.

We hope other business groups will do the same. Carmickle said the Indian Guides have set an example of how organizations of the community can assist in efforts to have everyone appear in costume during the celebration. The group will dress as Indians during the four-day event. One event has been added to the program. At the request of William E.

Fark, president of the Escondido Historical Society, it was decided to dedicate Escondidos minimuseum, or first library, at Grape Day Park on the opening day of the celebration, Sept. 9, at II a.m., preceding the start of the old-timers picnic at the park, which starts at noon. It also has been decided that winners in the beard growing contest and the costume contest will receive awards fom Miss Kitty Carson at the barbeque at Kit Carson Park at 6 p.m. Sept. 11.

The proposal is sound and within the proposed density pattern as set forth in the general plan, the staff report said.

In addition to the rezoning request, Unger Pacific, which recently took over the Escondido Country Club, also is seeking approval of a preliminary development plan for the affected area. Another hearing scheduled to be held by the commission tonight is related to a request for a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a small recuperative and convalescent home on South Elm Street between Grand and Second avenues.

ESCONDIDO A proposal by Unger Pacific, to apply planned development (P-D) zoning to some 350 acres of property surrounding the Escondido Country Club will be considered tonight by the Escondido Planning Commission. The commission, which is scheduled to meet at 7:30 in the City Hall council chambers, had been asked to rezone the property along both sides of West Country Club Lane from existing single-family residential (R-l-7) to PD to permit greater flexibility in developing dwelling units under a planned community approach. The PD zone, developed as part of the citys general plan project, is aimed at encouraging creative approaches to the use of land where 50 or more acres are planned for development. The PD zone also gives the city added controls over the type of development.

The planning department staff, which has recommended approval of the rezoning, noted in a report to the commission that such zoning would orovide These wooden nickels Paula Parfumorse of Poway ponders the old adage dont take any wooden nickels as she admires one offered her by Fred Grand.
