However, Mr. Lewis admitted there is no particular reason why unwed mothers should come to the CAS for help, Part of the increase, he added may be because the CAS service is more widely known and also because women are more will- ing to talk about their preg- nancy.

Moffat, the Oshawa Ministerial Association's répre- sentative to the CAS, said today he felt 'lack of character" was the basic problem.
