Nora Lea, Assistant Executive Director of the Council, Miss Lea cited two instances in which a man had been acquitted of a sex offence because it had been proved he was intoxicated at the time it was committed In the first case a man in British Colum- bia had been given 20 years for having carnal knowledge of a child. His appeal was heard and his sentence suspended because it was shown he had been intoxicat- ed. A similar case occurred in Eastern Canada, where a man was acquitted of an indecent act on the grounds of drunkenness, The Council has received a copy of a resolution which an Alberta .| women's organization has for- may have been inad- erlooked in telephoning, sy IRENIE HARVE Register Sat, at Legion Hall 9 am, to 4 pm. warded to the Minister of Justice asking that necessary steps be ta- ken to have legislation enacted whereby scientific examination and treatment be given sex per- verts with a view to preventing them from committing the same crime once they have served their sentence and are allowed to go free. The petition also asked more severe sentences for those 'guilty of such offences. "One of the greatest concerns of social workers is the children who are the victims in these crimes," sald Miss Lea. 'The harmful effect, both physical and mental, usually lasts throughout lite." "Generally the courts have no- thing but the child's word to go on, and the judges are reluctant to hand out sentence on so little rubinstein says JURY & A KING E. = PHONE 28 After cleansing with rich-textured Pasteurized Face Cream Special (1.25 to 5.00), let Town & Country Night Cream smooth away every trace of flaky dryness while you sleep. 1.25 to 3.25.

Letters From Norway Thank for Gifts Nora Waln, author of "Reaching for the Stars," an excellent novel 1 Nazi Germany of pre- war days, lectured in Toronto a year ago under the auspices of her fra- ternity, Kappa Kappa Gamma, which decided to make layettes for mothers in Norway so much impress- ed were the women with the picture Nora Waln drew of Norway as she had recently seen it. Before the 1.yettes were shipped, they were exhibited in Westminster Central Church, Toronto. The ac- companying cards of greeting had 'been translated into Norwegian by a Norwegian woman living in To- ronto so that the gifts would have a very personal message for the re- cipients. Two lovely shawls, one of them an heirloom, were among the gifts for Norway, An accompanying note suggested that they might be given to pastors' wives for use as christen- ing shawls. A letter dated Jan. 11 comeg from Nina Elk-Nes, a pas- tor's wife at ere Station, Norway, and here is of what she says: "We have a very ancient church. So far as I know there is only one church that is older and that is Mos~ ter Church, 900 years old. The shawls were used today, when little Gudrun and Olar were carried forth enveloped in the Canadian gift. And these shawls can cover up the often shabby christening dresses we have ----80 there are really two purposes with the shawls: ornament and use- fulness. 'Many thanks to our dear friends are sent from the congregation here." From Trondheim came ga letter to Beth Gourlay, convener for the Mc- Gill Alumnae Association, in which the writer says: I can't speak English well, I only speak a few worlds, but I will try too written to you. I will at first say you many thanks for your presents to us. The mothers are very happy. The babys only look at us with their great blue eyes, but I think they are thankfull too. I have no baby!-I am nurse hier--so that I bring the presents from you to the mothers. We are very, very thankful for your pregents.

The address of the president, Mrs. T. K. Creigh- ton, and the reports of the various committees indicated a very satis- ter C. Rean, of Toronto, president of the National Council of the Y.W, C.A, gave an address on the history of the organization and its signifi- cance, exercises in Margaret Clarke, presi- dent of the Over-20 Club, led in prayer, and the reading of the min- utes of the last annual meeting by Miss Phyllis Bathe, Mrs. Creighton expressed her to a great many people who had helped make the year such a great success: to the volunteers who had helped the staff with music, art, games, crafts, dancing, dramatics and the Sunday fireside hour; to.the wom- en's clubs and service clubg which had made gifts to the YW.CA.; to the Community Chest for its generous assistance; to the Gideons for- the Bibles given to Adelaide House; to the Red Cross for its co- operation in entertaining the war- time brides. * + 0 President MRS. T. K. CREIGHTON > SH Regrets Mrs. McLaughlin's Absence She acknowledged the fine serv- ice tendered by Miss Elizabeth Pitt, general secretary; Miss Grace Richer, [program secretary; and Mrs. Mary Coombes, house secre- tary and dietitian, She regretted the absence of the honorary presi- dent, Mrs. R. 8. McLaughlin, and referred with appreciation to the gift of Adelaide House by Col. and Mrs. McLaughlin and to the brass plaque unveiled last December in the front vestibule, a reminder of the givers of Adelaide House. One of the highlights of the year, said Mrs. Creighton, was the dis- play of art and crafts; another was the music enjoyed through record- y the public address system given jointly by the Over-20 Club and Teen Centre and the play- ing of visiting artists; still another highlight was the play, "The Impor- tance of Being Young", presented recently by teen-agers. Another high spot in the year's history, Mrs. Creighton remarked, was the meeting of the National Council in Toronto when several members had the privilege of hear- ing the World President, Miss Van Asch Van Wyck of Holland, and when the Oshawa Y.W.C.A. had the pleasure of entertaining a large number of delegates at dinner at Adelaide House. At the conclusion of her address, Mrs. Creighton was presented with a bouquet of roses by Miss Viola Lidkea on behalf of the Board. Success Due To Co-operation Miss Elizabeth Pitt in her report pointed out that the success of the past year had been due {0 co-opera- tion and added, "While we culti- vate this working together, we are unconsciously - forming a basis of fellowship with the National Y.W. C.A. of Canada and with the Y.W. C.A's throughout the world" In the coming year, she sald, the local Association should think of and assist in the reconstruction of Y.W. CA's in war-torn areas where no Y.W. building remained unharmed and the people themselves will car- ry scars for years to come. * Pb Program Secretary MISS GRACE RICHER * +b Two needs have still to be met by the local Y.W.C.A., Misg Pitt pointed out. They are the Travel- lers' Aid, found in large ¢ities, and a Registry. The YW.CA. has been meeting these needs so far with kind co-operation from the community. The financial report presented by Mrs. W. F. Taylor showed a rev- enue of $7,981.39 from the resi- dence; of $14,400.69 from the cafe- teria, and $869.00 from member- ships. Senior memberships netted $432, junior memberships, $194, and registrants, $243. Miscellaneous re- ceipts amounted to $18891. The of 1340 and a total | House books had been audited and found report showed that the first floor rooms are by the following clubs: 4 ; ness and - Profi Club, Girl Guides, Young Business Women's Council, Camera Club, Dubstic Club and Music Thirty-two young women are in residence at Adelaide House, Miss Hill revealed. The accommodation on the second floor consists of three double rooms and five single rooms, while on the third floor there are 15 single rooms and three dou- ble rooms. Residents of Adelaide House, said Miss Hill have a House Council elected by them and meet once a month with a member of the House Committee. The Insurance Inspector from To- ronto has reported that the build- ing is in excellent condition.

Over 18,000 Customers Served Miss Viola Lidkea who reported for the cafeteria committee said that since the cafeteria opened last April, 18574 customers had been served. Half of them had paid 50 cents or more for meals, The largest number catered for had been at the Red Cross tea given last June for the wartime brides. Reservations for Saturday night dinner, with ta- ble service, she announced, may be made up to noon that day. She mentioned appreciatively the gift of the embroidered banquet cloth from the Business and Pro- fessional Women's Club and the ta- bbles and trestles from the Kiwanis Club. Cafeteria prices are checked by the Wartime Prices and Traae Board, she reported. Miss Phyllis Ferguson' presented a graphic account of the program in operation at Adelaide House, Be- tween October 1946, and January, 1947, nine craft classes have been carried on, two more than in all the previous months. While Miss Yvonne Hutchinson was program secretary, the over-20 Club was formed with the able assistance of Miss Margar- et Smith. In July, the Y.W.CA. or- chestra under Mr. Charles Bder was organized and about the same time, the Young Business Women's Coun- cil. Varied Program of Activities From January to June, the Y.W. C.A. offered a monthly art exhibit, an art movie, a book review, two ex- ercise groups weekly, a weekly glee club, four craft classes, a weekly dance for Teen Centre and a week- ly dance also for the over-20's, Terrace Topics, a spring festival held on the lovely terrace of Ade- laide House, was recalled in Miss Ferguson's report. Activity groups from the Y did folk dancing and square dancing; there were exhi- bitions of archery, table-tennis and fencing and climaxing all, a colorful * + General Secretary MISS ELIZABETH PITT 0 . pageant of historical costumes lent free of charge by the T. Eaton Co., which also sent its men to\look af- ter the lighting and Miss Audrey Brown to advise on the modeling. Miss Richer Appointed When Miss Hutchinson resigned to go to a university post in Van- couver, Miss Grace Richer, a former member of the program committee, was appointed her successor. Miss Ferguson paid tribute to the exten- sive plans Miss Richer drew up for a fall program and to the efficiency and enthusiasm with which they have been carried out. Teen Centre and the Over-20 Club have broadened their program. To their weekly dances both have add- ed bowling, and the teen-agers have a large dramatic group and a glee club, both of which meet weekly: The Over ) Clb has added A re- cord hour and sponsored the Sun- day evening fireside hours. Other new activities include, said Miss , & junior girls' club and a junior boys' club, each with & varied program; a Keep Fit class for adults; instruction in tap danc- ing and social dancing; archery for both juniors and adults; a sketch- ing class for both young and older adults under Miss Betty Shoychett; craft classes including glovemaking, making of sheepskin mitts and slip- pers, shelleraft, leather-tooling, ceramics and plastics, Rendezvous Club Formed Under the leadership of the Y.W. C.A. a Rendezvous Club of wartime brides. has been formed to meet twice a month. It is hoped, said Miss Ferguson, that this club will give them a social meeting place and at the game time provide for them an- Sweia for some of the questions troubling them, ~ Once a month a Sunday evening after-church musicale is held, open to both Y members and the public.

' : ~Photo by Campbell's Studio Mrs. Frank McCallum Re-elected Head of Women's Welfare League At the annual meeting of the Women's Welfare League which was held at Simcoe Hall yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Frank McCallum, who was re-elected president, thanked the officers who had as- sumed duties for another year and asked all who had been elect- ed to committees to undertake their responsibilities seriously. "Do not leave all the work to a few," she said. "If each one does her share, the load will be light- ened for the willing few, We are all busy and so we should all try to help each other." In a comprehensive report of the Family Welfare Board pres- ented by Mrs, T, K. Creighton, she said: "During the past year, the work of the Family Welfare Board has been spasmodic, due to changing conditions in the indus- rties of our city as the families which wish assistance do not make appeals when the husbands and fathers are busy at their work and the homes are happy and prosperous. Red Cross Helps "Added to this, a number of or- ganizations, like the Canadian Red Cross Society, have been carrying on with the Welfare work since the cessation of hostil- ities; the Red Cross has been a great help to our Family Welfare Board in providing new bedding, layettes and articles of clothing, particularly for children, that we would have been unable to pro- cure otherwise, These have made for better conditions in the home. "In two instances where fam- ilies through fire lost their homes with all their belongings, the Board was able to provide cloth- ing and furnishings for the new abode as well as give comfort and encouragement to those in trouble. "Special diets of fruit, milk and eggs have been granted upon the advice of a physician, and medi- cine and medical treatment were supplied in one case, making it possible for a woman to secure | | siitable employment and support hrself, Glasses Appreciated "As usual, glasses or repairs to glasses came under the super- vision of the Family Welfare Board, a work that is greatly ap- preciated, "Magazines and books have been taken to shut-ins and two baskets of fruit were taken to our two old couples who, this year, celebrated their golden wedding anniversaries, : "Two of the members of the Board, who are also members of the Christmas Cheer Committee, visited all the families which have been under the supervision of the Family Welfare Board at Christ- mas and each family received Christmas cheer in the form of a cash voucher, a grocery order or a basket. "One of our members has 100k- ed after the welfare of a deserted mother and her family and great improvement has been noted dur- ing the year.

The price of rheumatic fever is more than just slow convales- cence. All too often, heart complications ensue. The rate of this malady sedms to be rising. It can be checked only by the strongest cooperation between parent, physician and pharmacist. . The parent is in a position to detect early symptoms, the phy- siclan knows how to interpret these signals, the pharmacist is skilled in compounding pre- scribed medication. With: such cooperation, the patient is in the most favorable position for recovery. Karn's Drug Store Service which the Red Cross hopes to organize in the near future. "The members wish to thank the Board of Health the Victor- fan Order of Nurses, the Child. ren's Aid Society, the Welfare Board, the churches and all other organizations that have co-operat- ed so splendidly to make the work of the Family Welfare Board, a helpful, hopeful agency for good living in the year 1946." Mrs, E. V. Lander in present- ing the'réport of the House Com- mittee stated that this year for the first time a full-time janitor had been employed to do bot: in. side and outside work, which had proved most satisfactory, In ad- dition to his regular work, Mr, Mills had cemented part of the cellar floor, repaired holes in the plaster, mended door latches and windows, moved and rebuilt cup- boards, replaced rusty pipes and many other plumbing jobs, paint- ed two rooms, furniture, fence, garage roof and repaired and painted sunroom roof. He has also mended children's toys and broken furniture, and looked af- ter boys' work in the absence of a boys' worker, LE BN Re-elected MRS. FRANK McCALLUM BE = Mrs. R, 8S. McLaughlin and Mrs. Hugh Hall had consented to serve on the committee in place of Mrs. W. H. Jams and Mrs. H. A, Wash- ington, ; Good Year for Clubs A successful year for the Clubs Committee was reported by Mrs. H, P. Hart, although there had been no boys' worker for nearly half the year. The total attend- ance for the year was 22,599, The circulation of the library had steadily increased, and the li- brary has now been made a branch of the Oshawa Public Li- brary. This will afford the chil- dren better library facilities with trained workers, Miss Betty Car- keek is the present librarian. The regular activities were held as follows: Camp re-union in May with an attendance of 165; picnics for all the girls' clubs and a picnic for the boys; skating par- ties and hikes with light refresh. ments in the Fall; Christmas par- ties, with the parents attending the pre-school children's party; library club; dressmaking class- es; the Merry Makers (a club for older girls); and speech training classes, There were 45 who. at- tended the speech training class- es, Music Classes Grow An activity which developed greatly in the past year was the music class. There were 18 tak- ing lessons and more waiting to be admitted as soon as another teacher was available. This in- crease was due to having a separ- ate music room in which the les- sons can be given and the practis. ing done, Senior pupils of Mrs. L. W. Parrott have been giving these Jpusons at a law cost to the pu- pils. The staff planned and co-opera- ted in running the Kiwanis Camp from July 8 to August 8, during which time 245 attended for vary- ing periods. Play school was held in the grounds of Simcoe Hall and 1244 attended. Extra activities were three pic- ture shows held in the with an average attendance of 80; 13 mothers acted as can in the district for the T.B, Clinic, and 60 boys and girls were taken in busses by the Shriners to the Morton Bros.' circus in Toronto. The committee also financed the giving of cod.liver oll and toma- to juice to pre-school children. Welcomes New Worker ° In closing, Mrs. Hart welcomed to the staff Mr, Brian Mathers, the new boys' worker. She expres- sed the appreciation of the Clubs committee to Mr, Mills, Miss Lilli- an Steele and te Mrs, G. C. Nor- man," , . . to whose steady efforts most of the credit is due for the success and development of the clubs, We regret that she feels it necessary to leave, wish her hap- piness in her new life and hope that Miss Catherine Forbes, the new worker, will prove a worthy successor." ; Mrs, B. A, Brown stated that in November, 1946, the Medical Officer of Health, Dr. A. F, Mac- kay, suggested that the pre- school class at Simcoe Hall would benefit a great deal by receiving cod-liver oil, Since that time, all children in attendance have re- ceived daily one teaspoon of cod- liver oil, one health biscuit, four ozs, of tomato juice or five ozs. of milk, The average school attend- ance during this period has been 38 pupils. It will be interesting, Mrs. Brown continued, to note th» beneficial results obtained during the school year. Mrs, Brown has been assisted in this by Mrs. Har- old Sproule, members of the Clubs committee and friends.
