Dymond, M.P.P., On- tario Minister of Reform Insti- tutions, told members of the Bowmanville Lions Club at their regular meeting, Monday, Oct. 28th. Our goal is to return these yeung people to secietv as goed citizens. Onlv when they can conduct themselves according to our concept of proper beha- viour in the present day se- ciety are they ready to return, he said. Especially Trained Staff In many cases boys and girls reachîng us are so emotionallv and mentall.v confused that ,a sense Of well being must be restored. Our staffs are espe- cially trained te cope with these problems. The work of rehabi]itating them is being conducted by devoted men and CARRUTHERS SCOUR TABLETS Dose leor Scours: Give calf six tablets every six hours for three doses.

There is something more to a human being than just satis- fying physical desires and needs. Dr. Dvmond asserted. Everyone needs to belong and be wanted, especially children. In homes where parents drink heavily, quarrel continually, spend little time with their children, or broken homes, this need is flot being met. Being situated near one of our schools v'ou have a first hand opportunity te see prob- lems, he told the group. This is one of the fields of service you can best aid as a Lions Club. There is no more rewarding work than helping these child- ren, he said in urging the mem- bers te aid the children at the school wherever and whenever possible. History of Training Schools Dr. Dymend continued by giving a detailed history of the department's training schools. He discussed their Ontanie) Plan, which is a special piro- gram designed te aid each in- dividual. Ea2h child coming to us is given a special test after which they are fitted into a specific pregram which is suited te them. A basic essential te these children is the need of teaching them discipline, he said. Disci- pline is necessany in every daý7 living and community life, he pointed eut, and it aids the child on his return to society. Use of Capital Punishment "I do net believe in and do net approve the use of capital punishment in schools", the speaker said. There is need for discipline, but of an understand- ing type which will help the child, he said. Fraises Catholic Sehools Dr. Dymond praised the many schools openated by the Roman Catholic Church. Their results in returning the child- ren te society as goed citizens are as good, if net better than ours. One reason I feel is a great aid in their accomplish- ment is the inborn respect for the church by these childnen, he said. In outlining the department's varieus pnegrams for rehabili- tation, Dr. Dymond discussed their new special clinics at Mi- mico 1er alcoholic and drug ad- dicts. We have met with con- siderable success in aiding the alcoholic, he said. Our results have been successful in 87 per cent cf the cases treated. How- ever, the drug addict will net respend te treatment and un- IEATERS AêS LOW AS $76.501 TIE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVMLLE. ONTARIO fertunately our resuits in this field are net se successful. We are continually werking on a program te aid the addict and hope te be able te help bim further in the near future. Psy- chiatrIsts and specially trained personnel are being taken into the department te cope with these problems he pointed eut. Maximum Security Prison Maximum security prisons such as Millbrook serVe an ex- cellent purpese te the depant- ment, he said. When Millbrook xvas first built we had 200 men whe were te be transferned there. Upon completion of the preject there were only 50 cf the group xvho had te be placed at Millbroek. Why? Because the behavieur cf the other 150 se improved when they learned the..mgh be sent there that it was net necessary te send them, he saîd. A maximum security prison has an excellent effect upon tbe behavicur cf men in ether pri- sons. Its existence creates a better behavieur among the men in other institutions, who dread the theught of being sent there. Capt.
