LOS NIÑOS TAMBIÉN PARTICIPAN EN LA FIESTA

Los más pequeños han estrenado este curso una guardería construida a través del programa ‘Crecemos’, diseñado para facilitar el acceso de la mujer al mundo laboral. Los niños de Crespos, sobre todo los más pequeños, también participan en las fiestas del Pilar de la localidad.

En este año, y en esta fiesta, y después de muchos años y de muchas fiestas, no podemos dejar de fijarnos un poco en los niños de menos edad, porque los niños son el futuro de nuestros pueblos, y mientras ellos son ajenos a los problemas cotidianos, los mayores nos olvidamos de que a nuestro alrededor, deambulan unos enanos que lo copian todo.

¿Qué sería de nuestros pueblos si no fuera por los ninõs que invaden nuestras plazas, calles, jardines y parques? ¿Qué sería de nuestros pueblos sin los gritos de los niños, sin sus risas, sin sus llantos?

Por eso y por muchas cosas más, hoy quiero brindarles un homenaje con especial cariño, para que en alguno de los espacios que la comisión de fiestas tendrá preparado especialmente para ellos puedan disfrutar como auténticos niños que son. Ellos serán los protagonistas en el parque infantil que habrá en la localidad estas fiestas. (...)

Pero, además, los niños de Crepos están de enhorabuena. A partir de este curso, los pequeños de la localidad cuentan con una guardería. Las instalaciones se inauguraron el pasado 20 de septiembre. Por el momento, son ocho los niños que acuden a este centro, que acoge a pequeños de edades comprendidas entre uno y tres años. Allí entre juegos y con sus compañeros permanecen desde las 09:30 horas hasta las 14:30 horas, de lunes a viernes.

Aunque el centro ya ha comenzado a funcionar, el plazo continúa abierto para todos los niños que quieran sumarse, tanto de Crespos como de otras localidades del entorno. Esta guardería está incluida en el programa Crecemos, en el que se integran la Junta, las diputaciones provinciales y los ayuntamientos, todo con el objetivo de facilitar el desarrollo laboral a las mujeres. Según el alcalde, en la provincia estas guarderías se las han concedido a otras tres localidades.

La responsable de la guardería de Crespos se llama Ana Alfayate y el centro se ha instalado en una de las casas de los maestros, en la que se está trabajando para acondicionarla totalmente, con moqueta y calefacción. El alcalde mostró su satisfacción por este logro ya que “es algo muy necesario para las mujeres que trabajan, al tiempo que los niños pueden disfrutar del ambiente adecuado para un mejor desarrollo”.

Read the following passage and then choose the most appropriate answer to the proposed iten.

Wars – can’t people live without them?

War is an ancient institution which has existed for thousands of years. Is it possible to persuade the human people to live without war? Wars were always wicked and usually foolish, but in the past people managed to live with them. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the gravest danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we are able to abolish nuclear weapons, our work will not be over. It will never be over until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to have a different point of view as far as international questions are concerned, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skilful in massacre, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law .It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.

There are some people who believe that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this is a profound error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic assertions which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false.Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.

The movement of world opinion during the past years has been increased and it has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the international sphere, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it used to be some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West or between the powerful countries and the weak ones, but between Man and the H-bomb.
