committee meeting Tuesday afternoon after Councillors went into camera for an hour to discuss a particular case The recommendation goes before council Wednesday today for final approval The main point of contention which has emerged in previous meetings appeared to be the part of dispensing contraceptive devices to people years of age or under without parental consent The Ministry of Health set this policy in and the region of Halton has followed the guidelines since that time About people crowded into the commit tee room Tuesday airing their views on the policy Of the eight delegations who ad dressed committee fourwereinfavorofil Representing the Burlington Women Issues Committee Nancy Harper staled briefly her group s view of the policy We would like to voice our support of the ex family planning policy of the regional health unit but we are concerned over the recent controversy over the provision of these services to adolescents she said Any changes thai would limit Ihe

next by Jane Mullet- What has been called a step in the right direction by Jakl Martin will move mentally retarded adults in north from a rural to an urban setting The residence director for the North Halton Association for the Mentally Retarded Martin said In a recent interview that the countryside residence will be sold and two group homes established In Its place The homes could be located in either Milton or Georgetown The association proposed the replacement of the residence in October 1980 but got approval for the move in January from the Ministry of Community and Social Services A trend toward integrating the mentally handicapped into the community and the high cost of providing transportation from Ihe rural residence to stores businesses and doctors are the primary reasons for the move according lo Ms Martin Countryside the first residence established for the mentally retarded was built in Hornby in 1179 Since that time a move toward integration and has begun said the residence director The whole trend is being felt every where It s making it easier for people who 10 years ago had no option to lire ah to lis Martin explained A Residence Task Force organized by the association nearly three years ago will be looking for two homes In close proximity to each other to serve the needs of residents Countryside must be sold lo finance the purchase of the group homes which will each house eight clients The group homes like Countryside will serve two functions The first is to provide a home for mentally retarded adults who will probably need to stay in a sheltered environ ment all their lives For another group of clients home wilt represent a training ground for the acquisition of skills to enable them to live more independently Ms Martin does not any problems with neighbors accepting the group homes She feels mentally retarded more accepted with increased public awareness brought about by locating such homes in urban centres The fear of the unknown Is vanishing as are concerns of decreased property values Once the group homes are established Ms Martin thinks the job of normalization will be easier We will be able lo put people through the system more quickly she says Being part of an actual community where shops and facilities are located clients are able to visit these places regularly without It seeming like an excursion Living in rural area near Hornby it is hard not to make such everyday events seem like a major outing the said Here they deal get a chance for tlon Mentally retarded people learn easiest from repetition Ma Martin said
