There are three main divi- sions in its approach; volun- teers who bring the outside world to the hospitalized pati- ent, a social centre to assist in| rehabilitation and a public edu-| cation program designed to ex-| plain the nature of the dis-! ease.

"There seems to be no force capable of checking it," Mr. Greenland told about 400 per- sons at the Oshawa and Ontario County Children's Aid Society annual meeting in St. Gregory's Auditorium. "We should teach children to realize that bringing an unwant- ed child into an already over- crowded world with little chance it will be loved or well- nourished -- is the greatest sin." Bruce Affleck, Ontario County Crown Attorney, told The Times today that under the Criminal Code of Canada it is illegal to control information and devices. Just as opinions on birth con- trol and contraceptives are changing, Mr. Affleck said he thought the Criminal Code would eventually be changed by the federal government, "But, if a complaint ever came in I would be obligated to act," said the Crown At- torney. (CAS Director Barnard Lewis' statistical report for 1964 gave these totals: unmarried mothers -- 279 cases; unmarried fathers -- 135 cases; open cases at the end of the year -- 269 cases.) One of five panelists discuss- ing "Unwed Parents', Mr. Greenland estimated "almost 60 per cent of the girls under 19 who marry today are pregnant on their wedding day". But, he said, the proportion of illegitimate babies born in On- tario (6,351 unmarried mothers in 1963 versus 4,080 in 1953) has not changed, remains at. about four per cent of all births. Mr. Greenland claimed an il- legitimate baby stands a much higher chance of being born mentally or physically handi- | capped ('these girls don't get adequate medical care until late jin their pregnancy") and said |the infant mortality rate is high- ler for them. | He also said these babies have ja greater incidence of "under- jachievement" in school and | S CIRCUS 'TO PLAY HERE MID-MAY The giant Clyde Brothers Circus is On its way jo town, It will play four performances at the Oshawa Civic Audi- torium on May 14 and 15, Packed with exciting acts the Circus is brought to the chapters in various | illness, He said it) town by: the Oshawa Shriners Club, The local Shriners Social/should be understood there is; will handle all the ticket sales, ushering, guarding and " i car parking. it and other illnesses Billed as the largest indoor circus in the world the circus will be bringing some 100 people to the town. | There will be 65 wild, tamed and domestic animals in | the show. Included in the show are trained seals, chim- panzees, monkeys, performing bears," "dangerous" Alas- kan huskies, elephants, lions and tigers, There will even be llamas and camels. Heading off the show will be the spectacle, the Circus Comes To Town." In its own language, the circus describes this feast of color and noise as: "Fantastic floats, colorful captivating costumes, our own entire company of circusdom's most celebrated stars, and animals blending the beauty and pageantry from around the world," Following this: 'The great, the incomparable Captain Osa Barrada 'with his team of snarling lidns and tigers. There is more from the "death defying daredevilry" of the Great Eli at the top of a 125 ft. flexible steel mast. And then of course the inevitable clowns. The Circus de- scribes their act as a '"'tidal wave of tomfoolery." To follow up. "astounding aerial audacity'? from Pete and Petrova, the circus admits to presenting "awe-inspir- ing adventurous achievements aloft."

In addition, he listed the encouragement of group activ- ities and discouragement of steady dating, early sex instruc- tion, firm parents ("a strong set of controls until the adolescent can say 'No' to himself') and children's knowledge that their parents love them. Another panelist, Dr. R. D. W. Guselle, said in his experience lack of sex education, bad com- pulsion are rarely reasons (although possibilities) for il- legitimate births, The city physician and CAS board member, said abnormal, inter - personal relationships of |parents are often the real rea- sons, "One frequent factor is the domination of home life by one parent," he said. "Parents in these cases do not love and re- spect each other and family ex- periences and _ responsibilities are not shared', He called these "psychologically broken }homes", "The domination of one parent |deprives a girl of normal rela- tions with the other; the girl be- comes enmeshed in her parents' problems and her normal psy- chological development is im- peded. "Many of the unmarried moth- ers come from homes dominated |by the mother," he said. . | Dr. Guselle said supplying ipersons with birth control in- formation and_ contraceptives might not make any difference. "In problem cases I have seen you could have a bushel of con- itraceptives available and they |wouldn't be used. I don't know! why."' | His "community - level" solu-| ition for attacking illegitimacy? | \"Church and _ social groups| should discuss inter-personal re- jlationships and a strong family \counselling service should be lavailable." 4 | Dr, Guselle urged a "socio-| economic survey to find the fac-| ltors in the community con- \tributing to this problem: preg- jnant school girls were the larg- est category seen by the local CAS last year but only 12 per cent of the fathers responsible were in school. | "It would be interesting to ifind out how these girls became linvolved with a group outside school, a group with a much different psychological make- up."

Adjustment serv- ices for children in the school system can do much to get at children's problems at an early age when they are most amen- able to correction," said Mr. Lewis. "It is gratifying too, to see that the Social Planning Coun- cil in Oshawa has approved the formation of a Family Counsel- ling Service in Oshawa.

The holiday marks the anni- versary of the first democratic constitution granted to the Pol- ish people, Before May 3, 1791, the Polish people groaned under the yoke of a despotic mon- archy and its nobles. The constitution broke the centuries-old grip of the feudal system and also blazed the way for other countries with a back- ward social system.

John Addison, an English and History teacher at the R. S&S. McLaughlin Collegiate, today criticized The Times for a lead editorial Wednesday describing the British education system. Speaking on behalf of the two dozen British-born teachers in Oshawa Mr. Addison said the editorial "contained a mass of incorrect detail . . . creating a deplorably misleading impres- sion." , In a telephone interview, Mr. Addison agreed that he had no quarrel with the essence of the editorial, a comparison between the existing British education system and its Canadian coun- terpart His complaint, he with facts. He claimed that there were 146 educational au- thorities in England and Wales not 47 units as stated in the article, He agreed, however, that! there were 47 county and coun- ty borough education author- ities. These, he said, were di- vided up into regional authori- said, was! . Itry ties with delegated authority. Times' Editorial Attacked By Oshawa 'Teachers' Group His main complaint with the editorial was with the sugges- tion that education authorities in England are made up of more qualified persons. "At the beginning of each year," he said, "a county coun- cil will elect from its body, an educational committee to sérve the county. These people are no more qualified than you find over here. The committee is elected from county councillors who have been voted into their position by the people. "As such these people are just the same, ordinary people who are elected on to school boards over here." Mr. Addison also disputed the point that "the British system . . is subject to much greater participation in it by the gov- ernment's ministry of education than is the case in this coun- He said it was "misleading" since although the Ministry of Education and Science con- tributes greatly to the financial burdens of education it leaves curricula matters entirely to local authorities.
