Freprter Saves UilL
We trust all the children of
Freeport were good little boys
and girls Tuesday morning, not
because Santa Claus was'In town,
but because the man who
probably guided their parents in
their rearing was - D r. Benjamin
Spock.
Introduced as "the eminent
pediatrician, child psychologist
and statesman^ the 70-year-old
author of the world's best-selling
manual oh child care • came to
Freeporttoaddresis the mediCi
children, Dr. Spock reported that
it Is a society that indoctrinates
-that all should work for each,
other and the country. Children^
are cared for by the government'
each working day from infancy
until they join their parents in the
working ranks - factory,
agriculture or military. Each,
mother is given a 56. day
maternity leave after the birth of
her child. The baby is then
brought eaclr day .to::a^ nursery

Barneli- Loft Ltd., Baldwin, on
September 19 and. with his
girlfriend, Linda Tedeschi, 18, of
South Hempstead, took the Circle
Line cruise up the Hudson to Bear
Mountain Slate Park. It seemed
unfortunate at the time that they
missed the boat they had planned
on foriheTeturn trlpr
While killing time they wan­dered
down to the Park's lake
near a rental boat slip. Suddenly
Waldohf heard a *'plop" in the
water and turned to see a 12-year-old
girl hear drowning. "A pretty
good swimmer" he leaped in to
rescue the child, a nbn-8W|mmer

• Western physicians in .many
years to have any contact at all
with mainland China.
Dr. Spock reported his overall
.impression of the country was
"serenity." "People, walk the
streets smiling,- The- children
themselves, of any age, are so
well behayed, I never saw a hand,
or heard a voice, raised \\n
discipline. I visited, a large
children's hospital and. it. was
..amazingly quiet compared to a.
pediatrician's office /waiting
room in the United States. In the
'schools it is so quiet you can hear
a pin drop. All their attention is
on the teacher. They're proud to
be in school. Of course, they know
"that they're lucky 1o be there.
Years ago,only the very rich
could have an education.''

racial riots, Waldohf says, "It's a
