The exterior of both additions will be designed to match the existing building, and will include brick and attractive steel panels. The architects for the project are Allward and Gouinlock, who were the architects for the original (main) building. Bowmanville Wl A meeting oi Bowmanville W.I. was held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 29. Mrs. M. Wiseman, president, opened with an appropriate poem. The minutes and treasurer's report was given by the secretary-treasurer, Mrs. T. Buttery. Due to varying cir- cumstances, discussions on the changing of meeting dates till December was considered. Final plans were made for the District annual May 11, at Trinity United Church. A large number of ladies planned to attend Honeydale, Port Perry on May 6. Roll Call was answered well, to - A Law for which I am thankful. Appreciation of members to Mrs. C. Downey and Mrs. M. Flintoff was shown by pre- sentation of a gift by Mrs. Wiseman. Citizenship and World Affairs was the theme for the meeting. Mrs. A. Blair was in charge. The motto! - Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. This was very ably answered by Mrs. M. Flintoff, reminding us to get involved , to get things changed not just sit back. Mrs. Blair gave a very fine paper on "Our Freedom as Canadian Citizens and the need for laws." We are encumbered by many laws but before we grumble too much we should compare with early settlements, namely 1676. People were not allowed to trade in New France along the St. Lawrence River only at Quebec, Three Rivers and Montreal. All goods not grown or made in Canada had to be imported from France, goods obtained elsewhere were de- stroyed. Social restrictions were many and varied also. The most important aspect of freedom is perhaps freedom of the mind. We have the right to think, that is compare things, to notice how they agree or disagree, before we readily take things for granted. Freedom of thought includes freedom of speech. It is the duty of each and every one of us to impart what we know of the benefits of freedom to those of the next generation, and to encourage them into the enjoyment of it. No citizen is free if he is a hitch-hiker on democracy. We are not galley slaves, but we each have our own oar to pull. We must realize that freedom is precious and we must be willing to exert ourselves to keep it alive. The Golden Rule was the life guide of the Stone Age, Eskimos, and even in these modern times, we will not stray fan, if we continue to follow it. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The laws of the country are based on the Ten Command- ments which are the laws of God. Our fine program was concluded with the hymn "Land of Our Birth, We Pledge to Thee." The meeting closed with God Save the Queen. DRINKING & DRIVING DON'T MIX Safe driving is a family affair. Celebrated His First Birthday Hi! My name is Steven Paul Piels.

Superintendent Says Detention Cells Used OnIy As 'Last Resort' At Pine Ridge School According to Pine Ridge School Superintendent Art Handelsman, the Grand Jury that toured the institution on April 15th made some unfair criticisms of several buildings on the-grouirds. The jurors' report, which was submitted to Mr. Justice J.R. Cromarty on Tuesday, April 27th, called for a full investigation into Pine Ridge by the Department of the Ombudsman. During the tour, Mr. Hand- elsman stated that the jury' members didn't even go inside the laundry building that they said "wasn't up to expectation for an institute this size." Co-Ed Facilities In about two months time, Pine Ridge will admit its first female students, though the grand jury questioned the advisability "of adding to the population of the school . . . if present conditions are allowed to exist." Yet the jurors didn't have time to visit the newly-design- ed residence now being con- verted into the girls' living quarters at a cost of $50,000. The jurors found the exist- ing boys' dormitories to be "very badly supervised. The furniture was disgraceful -- deliberately vandalized." Mr. Handelsman replied that the buildings are over 50 years old, and budget cut- backs and provincial spending restraints only allow the renovation of one building per year. He added that the furniture is "sometimes abused, but normal wear and tear" accounted for the unsatisfac- tory appearance of much of it. Not all remarks made in the Grand Jury report were unfavorable. The members of the panel thought that the pool was in fine shape, and that the kitchen and library were clean, well-stocked and well- equipped. With a coat of paint, other facilities would have been considered up to par. The Grand Jury also found the building which bouses the detention centre at the 50- year-old institution to be "very inadequate." In their report they noted that broken glass in two of the cell doors "could create potential dan- ger to any boy who was upset enough to try suicide." Mr. Handelsman pointed out that the glass in the cell door was broken by a previous occupant and that there was no loose broken, glass ne- maining in the detention rooms at the time of the Grand Jury visit. Complete repairs were made shortly after the incident occurred. The Grand Jury report went on to say that "when cbecking the holding celîs we met a young boy wbo was very upset and was being transferred to Whitby Psychiatric for observation. By coincidence we met the same boy six days later in the Whitby institution and found him to be very happy in the new surround- ings. On talking to the boy it was our impression he was afraid to go back to Pine Ridge." Mr. Handelsman described the boy in question as "one of our most difficult kids, who was extremely troubled" at the time of the Grand Jury visit. While awaiting transfer to Whitby, the door of the holding cell wasn't even locked, Mr. Handelsman said, though the boy was lying on the bed crying. He added that the staff at Pine Ridge "worked four months full time to get a placement" in a more suitable setting for the youth. Mr. Handelsman reported that the boy has since been transferred from Whitby to Browndale, a residential treatment centre. Preconceived Notions? Mr. Handelsman also stated that at least one of the jurors may have had preconceived notions about the school be- fore arriving for the tour of inspection. The man told Mr. Hand- elsman that he'd "already heard all about Pine Ridge" prior to coming on the grounds. The superintendent described the man as an aggressive and extremely negative person who domin- ated the group. Mr. Handelsman said that Pine Ridge is reguilarly in- spected by highly qualified officials from numerous gov- ernment agencies, and we have complied with the stan- dards established by these regulatory bodies." Representatives from the Ombudsman's department have visited Pine Ridge twice in the past nine months and had not raised any major concerns in their discussions with Mr. Handelsman follow- ing those visits. This is not the first time that a Grand Jury bas made recommendations about the school on Concession Street East, and Doug Moffatt, M.P.P. for Durham East, hopes to clear up the difficul- ties once and for all. On April 30th, Mr. Moffatt requested that the Minister of Correctional Services John Smith table a list of recom- mendations made by grand juries about Pine Ridge over (intended for last cek) Dr. and Mrs. A.
