Durham East November 15,1982 Consultation Paper on Children's Services When the Children's Services Division of the Ontario Ministry of Community & Social Services was established established in 1977, the laws governing children's services were identified as being one of the areas of the system in which reform was needed. The existing laws are confusing and difficult to read. What is more, there are inconsistencies inconsistencies among the various acts and probably, most importantly, it is felt that the rights of children and families are not adequately protected. protected. While some changes to the various acts were introduced in 1979, these amendments were not intended to represent long-term comprehensive change. Since that time, ministry personnel have been working with regional regional committees, organizations who provide children's services services and individuals with expertise in this important area, to develop a consultation paper which would serve as a framework for a unified Children's Act. This consultation paper, entitled The Children's Act, has now been published. The single piece of legislation it proposes would reform and consolidate consolidate all existing le- f 'islation dealing direct- y with children in ministry programs. Included is the Child Welfare Act, The Training Training Schools Act. The TELEPHONE 623-6555 JOHN MANUEL, C.G.A.

Sincerely, GARNET B, RICKARD Although November 11 is intended to be a day for grateful grateful remembrance, recent generations who were not involved in the wars tend to see the day as just part of history. In addition to calling up fading memories or symbolizing symbolizing an important historical event, Bishop Desmond Hunt suggested at last week's meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club that November 11 brings a cynical response from some. . In fact, the suffragan bishop for the diocese of Toronto suggested that today's world is becoming increasingly cynical. "Beyond cynicism is a growing anger as people ask if we are always going to live at each others' throats," said Bishop Hunt. The arms race, nuclear weapons, and unrest in the Middle East all contribute towards that sense of cynicism, cynicism, he added in his Remembrance Remembrance Day address to Rotarians. Rotarians. The guest speaker, who was visiting Bowmanville during the 150th anniversary of the St. John's Anglican Church, decried this cynicism and suggested the need for a return to Christian values. As evidence of growing despair, despair, he noted a recent magazine magazine article which discussed ideas related to the survival of a nuclear war -- suggestions which included the stockpiling of food, construction of nuclear bomb shelters, and the use of weapons for selfprotection. selfprotection. A question on nuclear disarmament disarmament on many municipal election ballots is also evidence evidence of concern for the future, Bishop Hunt suggested. suggested. Bishop Hunt suggested that people should look to the Bible in order to find a more satisfactory satisfactory way of looking at man, at life, and the future. He noted that this book foresees the time when the lion shall lie down with the lamb and when the strong will no long prey upon the weak. It is man's tendency to cut himself off from this spiritual influence and say "I can go it alone" which causes him to be out of sorts with his fellow man and his world. Man was not made for war, killing, and all the other problems problems which he faces. And when relationships are right with God, then relationships with our fellow men will also be right, Bishop Hunt said. "My prayer on Remembrance Remembrance Day is that the peace of God be allowed to work," Bishop Hunt said. The guest speaker was introduced by Rotarian John Manuel and thanked by Rotary Club member Dal Dalrymple. Salem U.C.W.
