In 1977 January and Feb- ruary were the two coldest months on record with no General Hospital for a two- day intensive workshop on addictions mangement or at the ARF (Durham Region Brank, 73 King -St. E. Osh- awa) for weekly two-hour seminars on methods of treatment. In addition, indivi- dual half-day-per-week internshîps take place at the ARF (Northeast Branch, Toron to, for those who want greater in-depth treatment expertise. Some of the health and social service agencies which are currently participating in theprga include: Family Counseliing Services; Dep- artment of Social Services, Durham Region; Family and Children's Services (Child- ren's Aid Soceiety):- Probation Services;, the Durham Board of Education, Guidance Ser- vices; Whitby Jail; Men's Hostel, Service, Oshawa; Alexandra Clinic, Oshawa General Hospital; Mental Health Durham; and Memor- ial Hospital, Bowmanville' Others are now planning to enrol their professional staff in the training program. To date, 46 professionals have participated or register- ed for the program and it is expected that by early 1978 aïnother 5î0 professionals will have registered for partici- pation- By extending ARF's know- ledge on drug and alcohol addiction, to as many health and social service workers as possible, the Foundation is able to mnaximnize its own lim7ited mnanpower treatment resources. "Lt is hoped", commented Geof V. Brown, ARF Director of the Durham Region Office, "that as a greater number of health and sqcial service workers become aware of the problems of alcohol and drug use, and the best ways of treating them, more of the people needing heîp will reçeive it." t is also antici- pated that this will increase the probability of helping these people before it is necessary to recommend that they go to one of the specialized .- alcohol-drug treatment agencies for inten- sive treatment. agencies is the thurst of a current training program offered by the Addiction Research Foundation Dur- ham Region Branch (in'co-op- eration with the Toronto Northeast Branch and the Pinewood Treatment Cen- tre). Since drug and-or alcohol dependent persons frequently conitact these agencies for a variety of social services but rarely identify the depend- ency problems they are experiencing, it is crucial that health and social service workers be able to recognize and skillfullly deal with these. Current workshops, semi- nars anid inidividual intern- ships for selected profession- als in the Durham Region are concentrating onr owto identify people with alcohlol and-or drug dependency pro- blemns, on ways of assessing their problems, on co unsel- ling methods and on referring, them to the relevant treat- ment resources they need. Selection of the various services for the participation in the program is based on a detailed ARF (Duham Reg- ion Branch) survey of the needs of 26 prof essional health and social services agencies in the Durham Regioni. Followup evaluation of the effectiveness of this training program is also Training sessions take place at either the Oshawa Orono Building Brick - Block - Concrete FloorS - Tue January thaw. Then we had a warmn earîy spring and sum- mer began on the l7th of May with temperatures in the eighties. We had thunder stormas that helped us but places farther north missed them so they had no hay or potatoes. Here the hay crop was light. On August l9th heavy ramn came and it continued wet till the end of September. This meant dis- aster to the white bean crop. In other words we mîght describe the weather last season as variable'. Now the ground is full of moisture from the wettest season in 99 years 50 let us hope we have a warm spring. On Sunday morning the scripture reading was Exodus 14:10-20. Verse 15, Speak unto the children of Israel that they go f1orward. The text was, "get up and go". Jesus said. "I wiîl be with yoý,u even unto the end". They had faith in their leader and faith in God.' Ship captains in time of war sometimies go out under sealed orders. We should go forward against things that are wrong like waste. Hlow about a waste of talents, or a- waste of time and treasures. We must use our talents, tim.e and treaiures ini the service of the Lord to bring in his kingdom. What is the reward or the prize for serving the Lord. Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you". The Israelites went on to the Promised Land. So we go with hope and trust forward to the Promised Land. -So 1 said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: "Give me a ight that I may tread safely into the unknown", and he replied, "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shaîl be to you better than light and safer than a known way.- Worshipping with us in Kendal church on Sunday wvas Miss Joan Williams formerly of the Island of Trinidad. Visitors during Christmas week with Miss C.W. Stewart were her nephew with his family of Toronto. Then on New Year's Day Mr. and Mrs . G. Cathcart and Mr. A. Thompson. Sorry to report that Mrs. E. Cole, Mrs. A. Munro's mother is in a Toronto Hospital with pneumonia. We wish her a speedy recovery.
