6 MEDINA JOURNAL-REGISTER THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1972) Sensitivity Sessions Conable No Passing Fad By GAY PAULEY _ upi Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPID)-Much has been said and written about some bizarre aspects of encoun- - ter groups, or sensitivity . training, as they are also labelled. e Are the groups a force for good? Properly directed, they can contribute to \a more human future,\ says Elizabeth Ogg, an author who's examined the groups to find how they . work and why the encounter upsurge in this era.. Miss Ogg divides the sensiti- vity: sessions into two general types: One in which mem- bers in a small group are \largely committed to verbal interaction,'' the other the physical contact in which leaders of the groups \stress the body as the mirror of the psyche and an avenue to. emotional release and whole- someness.\' Groups Not New Miss Ogg says small groups in themselves are not new- '\'Through the centuries they -have been used for emotional support, religious communion, learning, and the performance of specific tasks.\ As for the current upsurge, she says, \One reason often cited is the increasing deterior- ation of life in our crowded cities, where close-knit, stable work groups and neighborhoods with roots are fast disappear- ing. The old-time supportive family has been largely lost and many marriages are brittle. Individuals feel atom- ized, reduced to numbers on IBM cards. And in their loneliness they yearn for human closeness.\ Miss Ogg's views are in ''Sensitivity Training and En- counter Groups,\ a new publi- cation from the Public Affairs Committee, a non-profit educa- tional organization headquar- tered in New York. The author has written widely in the social sciences field. Faults A Few She faults a \few unqualified, self-styled leaders'\ who have used '\'encounter groups as a means for self-aggrandizement, power or personal gain' and some who become encounter \addicts going from group to group, seeking the thrills.\ \Yet she writes, \despite its present limitations and the excesses of some of its leaders, the sensitivity training move- ment can hardly be dismissed as a passing fad. It speaks too directly to unmet human needs for that.\ Miss Ogg says that under qualified leaders, the training is \one way of resolving conflicts -in families, organizations, schools and communities.\ Eleven Receive Confirmation Rites MIDDLEPORT - Eleven young people were members of the Confirmation Class who join- ed the United Methodist Church Sunday. They were presented for membership by Mr. Robert Hill, class leader. They are: Rosie Austin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Kelley; Hugh Durdan and Sally Durdan, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Durdan; Jeffrey Harrod, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Harrod; Randall Hill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hill; Kevin Hinkson, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Hinkson; Diane Jackson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Jackson. Also: Hazlett Krog, son of Dr. and Mrs. Norman Krog; Valerie Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Moore; Laura Patton, daughter of Mrs. Lois Yates; Carol Pease, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Pease.

Conable was the first of the Western New York congressmen to file his annual financial statement with the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. In reply to a question regar- ding \any income from a single source for services rendered (other than from the U.S. government) exceeding $5000\ Mr. Conable wrote: \Estate of Charles Jeffress, Batavia, N.Y., statutory executor's fee.\ Under a listing of \capital gain from a single source exceeding $5000,\ he wrote: \Sale of DuPont Co. common stock.\ He listed the Brookings Institution, Washington, as the sole source of \honoraria aggregating more than $300 from a single source.\ Mr. Conable listed his stock holdings under a question requesting congressmen to list any interest or position in a company that does substantial business with the federal government or is directly regulated by a federal agency, if their investment is larger than $5000 or their annual income from it exceeds $1000. Mr. Conable said he held stock in 1971 in 16 companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Alberto-Culver, _ American Cyanamid, Bristol Myers, Caterpillar - Tractor, .

The National Collection of Fine Arts is exhibiting 17 of her oil paintings through June 15. Gene Baro, a respected Wash- ington art critic, described her as \a true primitive painter ... whose work is a joy to the eye and spirit.\ Miss Cell lived on a farm in east central Ilinois with her uncle, Jerome McGahan, when she decided to begin painting in 1954. She couldn't find a photograph of a farmhouse she remembered, so she decided to paint it instead. \I paint what I remember, not what I see,\ she explained. No paints were available in the isolated little farm house, so she used different shades of liquid shoe polish. ~ Perspective Explained McGahan, a carpenter, encou- raged hat 11118 explained per-. ; spective to her, how pbjects 5;ng smaller as they Become .more distant.in the picture, built an easel: for her, then surprised her with a gift of oil paints and brushes. | __ From then until her uncle died in 1966, Miss Cell devoted herself to painting. She had had only two years of formal education and no - artistic : training. Her uncle joined her, and on winter days when snow-clogged ). country roads shut them off, they worked at their painting 'by the light of an east window. _ Miss Cell worked in a direct, deliberate manner. She spent several months on each canvas, paintings of recollections from the time she was 3 years old. \I couldn't paint what I see Red Cross Officers At Area Meeting In Canandaigua Michael J. Murray, chairman of Medina Chapter Red Cross, accompanied by Hon. Bernard _E. Hart, chairman of the Ad- visory Committee of the Roch- ester Regional Division Red Cross, Mrs. Hart; and Mrs. Betty Hassall, executive direc- . tor of Medina Chapter, attended ; an Advisory Council meeting in Rochester Monday night and . held at the Sheraton-Canandai- & gua Inn, Canandaigua. - Chairman Hart, who presided _ at the meeting, spoke on the . purpose, value and vitality of the Advisory Council and re- quested that suggestions for resolutions to be presented at the 1972 National Red Cross Con- vention to be held in San Fran- cisco April 30-May 3 be pre- sented.

Lively Sense of Activity \She has done best in the imaginative discipling of her material. No doubt this is a matter of her innate taste rather than of any sort of learning. To put it plainly, she knows what to leave out. Her paintings have just enough 'in them to give a lively sense of the activity under review.\ Mrs. Betty Boyer, president and publisher of the Coles County Daily Times Courier, was one of Miss Cell's early discoverers, and remains an enthusiastic champion. She helped persuade the artist to come see her paintings hanging in the National Collection of Fine Arts. 7 Miss Cell seemed startled to find a small group of admirers, including the Gallery curator, inspecting her paintings and eager to meet the artist. said.

It wasn't anything as blatant as the Unfriendly Ten, nor were the suspected miscreants called up before congressional investi- gating committees. Those writers, directors and' actors tainted with the brush of ultra-liberalism were felt to be less than 100 per cent American. A capricious mention in the Daily Worker could be enough. Word went around the studios and among independent produ- cers that so-and-so was a bit too far left. He simply wasn't hired. One such man was playwright Arthur Laurents. \I was blacklisted,\ Laurents said the other day. \And when I decided to leave the country - to seek work abroad I was denied a passport even though I was willing to take an oath that I'd never been a Communist. He Writes a Book ''Now I've written a book about those times, \The Way We Were,\ and written the screenplay for a movie version. \The funny part is that Ray Stark, the producer, wants me to put as much emphasis on the subject of the blacklist-the very subjéct for which I was kicked out-as possible.\ Laurents is a natty little man who lives in New York where, presumably, there are fewer blacklists. , He has written 11 plays, four of 'which were made into spectacularly successful mo- vies: \Home Of The Brave,\ \Summertime \West Side about his blacklisting is not evident in his demeanor. He doesn't have much to say about it forpublication. ~ As much as anyone-and for better or worse-Laurents is Stage Coaches Still Used in Bangladesh By MARTIN STUART-FOX DACCA, (UPD) Stage coaches may have disappeared \as a means of transport in the American West, but they are still plying the roads of Bangladesh. The stage coaches of Dacca are like miniatures of those featured in every Western movie, pulled by two pitifully thin and spindly ponies which seldom have the strength to trot. The distances are shorter also-mainly from the railway station to the Old Town, a distance of about three miles. No one knows how many stage coaches there are in Bangladesh, perhaps two dozen for all of Dacca and one or two in district towns. Their time is past, but with the desperate transport shortage here they have received a short reprieve from eventual extinction. Dacca has only about two dozen taxis for a city of 20 million people, and the com- monest form of transport is the cycle rickshaw, pedaled by a sweating driver in torn singlet and sarong. But there is a limit to the amount of luggage you can carry on your lap, and if you have too much there is nothing for it but to take a stage coach. Pay Is Poor The life of a stage coach driver is a hard one these days of rising costs .and prices. Mohammad Latif has a wife 'and four children to keep, not to mention his assistant to pay discovery of Barbra Streisand. \I was directing 'I Can Get It For You Wholesale' in New York when Barbra came in to audition for a part,\ Laurents recalled. \There was no role for her but I sent Barbra to Columbia Records. They turned her down. Cast as Spinster \Eventually I cast her in the role of a 50-year-old spinster and she got to sing a song. David Merrick, the producer, wanted to fire her and Elliott Gould. He said they were both too unattractive. \But I fought for them and | kept them in the musical.\ _ In addition to having com- pleted the script for \The Way We Were,\ Laurents is travel- ing around the country plugging ger L0 met USE. _|_ __.. _ his book which=recently- was-; -- I *Aon't \deserve t’hls,ij Sh? delivered \to flag stalls. *a 2.2 y shouldn'ts-do arfphill \Tb There just not- that 78.000 books published it- cover last year. Only a handful made the best-seller lists. Most didn't repay the cost of printing. \'This is my first novel ever,\ Laurents said. \It's the first narrative prose I've ever written. And I did it in four months. Streisand is going to play the leading role in the movie version. We haven't cast the male lead yet.\ One can assume whoever wins the role won't be concerned with a blacklist, It doesn't exist any more. s just 66 bought Loralyn Klym, Brockport, N.Y.: and the horses to feed. No self- respecting stage coach driver is without an assistant, known as an \offsider who loads suitcases on the roof, cares 'for the horses and fetches his master cigarettes. ‘ Latif, 44, looks about 60. He is thin and stooped at the shoulders with cares of this world. Each day he harnesses his two sad- looking ponies about 6 a.m. and transports vegetables to the market. He then makes his way to the Old Town to pick up fares to the station. If he is lucky he makes two rupees (less than 30 U.S. cents) a journey, usually less. . \Rice is almost double. Sugar too. All the prices are rising,\ Latif said in his singing voice. \Food for my horses costs more each day. f \But Bangladesh is free, and Inshallah (God willing), things will get better. Sheikh Mujib will lead 'us to prosperity.\ Past Is Future On a good day Latif may make as much as 15 rupees ($2), country where a laborer may get two rupees for a day's work. But such days are. rare. ® A bus rolls past with people spilling out the doors, clinging on behind, and seated cross- legged on the roof. It is ancient and battered and needs a coat of paint, but it represents the present, if not the future. Latif and his stage coach represent the past. . But until Bangladesh gets back to normal, and more modern, if less picturesque, forms of transport are availa- ble, they will continue to trundle tranquilly along Dacca streets.
