The project covered a ten month period of study and analysis, This report just published stresses two cautions. First, adults should be careful not to adopt a 'holier than thou' attitude. In the eyes of many young people this merely indicates contemptible hypocrisy. Most people break a rule or regulation at one time or another, some people more often than others. Some of these violations are minor and infrequent; others represent more serious behaviour and often become habitual, This young people clearly see. They are not likely to to take too seriously what you have to say if they feel that you yourself break rules, and try to hide the fact. Secondly, adults have been too ready to apply the delinquency label and have thereby actually encouraged such behav- iour, The report shows that 85 per cent of our juvenile delinquents are of the lower class in our society. In the lower class of people interests centre on trouble, tough- ness, smartness, excitement, fate and a feeling that they have the right to do any- thing they want to. This contrasts sharp- ly with middle class concerns, These are achievement through direct effort; defei- ment of immediate pleasures and gains for future benefits; responsibility; mainten- ance of the family group; accumulation of material goods and conscientious care of President EisenHower who admits that he knows more about military affairs than almost anybody in the United States, has just made a remarkable confession in his budget message that should have some significance to Canadians. He said: The task of providing a reason- able level of military strength without en- dangering other aspects of our security is greatly complicated by the swift pace of scientific progress . . . Some weapon sys- tems have become obsolescent while still in production and some while still under de- velopment. . . . The cost of developing a major weapon system is now so enormous that the great- est care must be exercised in selecting new systems . . . As weapons become more complex the cost goes up logarithmically. A submarine which cost half a million in 19456 now costs a hundred million to-day. A plane that cost 600 thousand then now costs 8 million. With space vehicles. the increase factor is ten times. As the flood of technological knowledge grows, cost mounts, weapons grow more complex and the operational time of such weapons goes steadily down. Where wea- pons might have been expected to last 10 Understanding Juvenile Delinquency property, education and the improving of one's mind; participation in good organiza- tions; cleanliness and ambition to get ahead. The inculcation of these values in the lower classes is no easy matter and is largely left to the school which finds it an almost impossible task. It is not so much that juveniles are cor- rupting middle class society as it is the breaking down of middle class standards which is corrupting our youth. crease in instalment buying, the emphasis on military might, and the increase in white collar crime all work to hurt our youth. The report states that on the whole we can trust our youth; the big question is how in heaven's name can they trust us? For those who are interested in the pro- blem of what makes a boy or girl de- linquent we quote this case from the pre- diction tables prepared by the Gluecks, the two outstanding authorities in research work on delinquents: | Johnny is always harshly disciplined by his father . . the mother generally leaves him to his devices, letting him run around the streets and not knowing where he is or is going . . the father dislikes the boy . . the mother is indifferent . . the family is disorganized because the mother spends most of the day away from home working and the father most of his leisure time away drinking somewhere . . The Gluecks conclude that Johnny is a perfect candidate for juvenile delinquency. The Absurdity of Canadian Armaments to 156 years, now it is considered remark- able if they last 3 years. Or as the Penta- gon put it, "if a weapon works, it's obso- lete." In any event the problem has become so complex that for the richest country in the world, experts are now beginning to think and to advise the government that weapon systems shoult be built on paper by com- puters so that real life situations can be simulated and the choices should be made on paper. It's a lot cheaper than building real models and scrapping them as fast as they are ready for use. If the United States according to its foremost experts can't keep up with the arms race how ab- surd it is to find a country like Canada wrestling like a miniature puppet with the same giant problems. And how absurd the whole business becomes when one consid- ers the picture and sees the best brains in the country building on paper the most de- vastating weapon systems which can't be economically produced without danger to the vital security of the country; and which can't be used without vital danger to the whole human race. How much of this inhumaan demoralization can mankind take? The in- District PICKERING REEVE DECLARED CONSERVATION PARKS ARE BURDEN TO THE TOWNSHIP Only Serve Urban Areas Pickering Township Reeve, J. Sher- man Scott, has declared that recred- tion areas promoted by 'the Metro To- ronto and Region Conservation Auth- ority constitute a burden on the muni- cipality. He aired his complaint at a special meeting of Council on Monday night. He pointed out that heavy vehicular traffic on roads leading to and from the 1,200 acre Greenwood conservation park represented a drain on the township's road budget. In ad- dition, the Reeve pointed out that all buildings erected in the park area were non-taxable. "I believe that the Conservation Authority should be prepared to assist us with the maintenance of. access roads," said Reeve Scott, "these parks are merely a burden on riral areas to serve the urban areas." RABID SKUNK ATTACKS UXBRIDGE TOWNSHIP COTTAGER An Uxbridge Township summer cot- tage resident was the victim of an at- "tack by a rabld skunk recently, néar his home on concession 8, four miles north of Goodwood. Gerald Gray, a purchasing agent with the T. Eaton Co., Toronto, was saved from seyere bites and scratches by a pair of knee- high hunting boots he was wearing at - the time. Mr. Gray was also aided by his three hunting dogs who pounced on the crazed animal. Two had to be destroyed and one is under quarantine for ninety days, Doings Mr. and Mrs. Gray were spending | the week-end at their cottage residen- ce when the owner noticed the skunk prowling through the snow. Believing it to be half starved, he placed a dish of food on the ground close to the rodent. To his surprise, it attacked with the animal biting at his heels. On closing the door, the skunk's tail was wedged in the jamb, It was quick- ly killed by the dogs. The belief that the animal was rabid was substantiat- ed by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa. They inspected the car- cass, : The odor in the cottage forced Mr. and Mrs. Gray and family to vacate the residence. They had to fumigate the home. The Gray's remaining dog is being held in quarantine by Dr. Alan Secord. Dr. Secord told the Tribune that skunks have replaced foxes as the prime carrier of the rabies disease. He warned that any wild animal, includ- ing skunks, foxes, racoons, ete., should be treated with caution if seen prow- ling during the day-light hours. C.N.R.

P.C. Harry Heatherington informed the Tribune that a number of boys have been questioned ranging in age from 1 Oto 14 years. Summonses will be issued against the parents and the merchants if the practice is not stamp- ed out immediately. No girls have been questioned to date. "We feel it is only fair to warn both the parents and the merchants," said P.C. Heatherington, "we don't want to prosecute but it's only for the good of these young boys," he concluded. The officer noted that the youths were quite co-operative and readily admitt- ed where they had obtained the cigar- ettes, One merchant has been warn- ed officially. A similar crack-down was ordered in the town of Oakville some two months ago when police discovered that a large number of minors, both boys and girls, were illegally being sold smoking materials $100,000 ADDITION TO HALIBURTON HIGH SCHOOL Plans are under way for a 4-room addition to the high school at Hali- burton, at a cost $100,000, The pro- Jeet has been discussed by the Board at several meetings 'and plans will be -| prepared and tenders called for, «For all your printing requirements see The Port Perry Star, RENEW YOUR MAGAZINES through The Port Perry Star. 4%: THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE muro HANDY MAN!

Present reports from Conservation Officers indicate a very good harvest of mink in the Lake Simcoe District this season. At the end of December, according to J. S. Dorland, of the Fish and Wildlife staff at Maple, with three weeks still remaining before the mink season closes, the harvest has already 650% over the totals for the 19568 sen- son. Beaver, on the other hand, has shown only a slight increase though known colonies are increasing on pri- vately owned lands faster than trap- pers can be located to harvest this fur bearer. Reports also indicate that the pre- viously noted increase in deer popula- tion has, to some extent, been changed especially -in this townships on the north part of the Lake Simcoe Dis- trict. Open seasons, during the past few years, herds in these townships to what might be considered a normal density, and also have provided the deer hunter with hunting opportunities within a few hours' time from his home. It is noted fair populations are still prevalent on patented lands in the central and southern part of the Dis- trict. Township, such as Caledon, Reach, Brock and the southern parts Medonte and Vestra, still have more deer that what is considered good for the herd, safety of travelling public and agricultural lands. have thinned out deer | . Anglican Notes By Mary Becker An eleven-man Board of Manage- ment will handle the affairs of the Church of the Ascension during the coming year. At the annual Vestry meeting, held last Monday, January 26th, the decision to change to this form of administration was approved and the following officers elected: Rector's Warden--Myr., W, Sonley People's Warden--Mr. C. Williams Lay Delegates to Synod--Mr. F. Wilkinson and Mr. A, Brunton. Alternates--Mr. S, Mumford and Mr. H. Germain Vestry Clerk-----Mrs. J. Allen . Chairman of Sidesmen--Mr. H. Germain Elected Members of Board of Management--Mr. H. Santer, Mr. S. Mumford, Mr, C. Glass. Rector's appointees to Board of Management--Mr. R. Kenny, Mr. H. Germain, Mr. J. Jefford Auditors--Mr. E. Hayes and Mr. H, Santer Envelope Secretaries--Mr. S, Bruton and Mrs. R. Kenny Parochial Tribunal--Mr. H. Buck- land and Mr. C. Glass Great Chapter (Oshawa Deanery Men's Fellowship)--Mur. A. Allen, Mr. H, Germain, Mr. 11. Santer, Mr. J. Jefford, Mr. C. Glass. Representative to British & Foreign Bible Society--Mrs. E. Hayes. Board of Management also includes the Wardens, the Lay Delegates and the Rector. The Vestry heard Rev. Mr. Fuller give his report on the year's activi- ties in the church, mentioning as gaing during the year the improved organization of the Church School and of the sidesmen, the improved fi- nancial position of the Church and increased activity in public relations. He deplored the failure of the con- gregation to support the much-need- ed extension to the church hall, but expressed the hope that building would become possible in 1960. The needs of the church in the coming year, he felt, were for a Junior Auxi- liary, a Young People's group, a re- organized Chancel Guild with Dioces- an Affiliation, and a Young Adults group. The Wardens' financial report for 1959, showing balanced books and a small credit balance in the bank, was read and adopted. The budget for 1960 was also presented and adopted, It included provision for a number of repairs to the Rectory and church hall, deemed csential at this time. The Vestry was advised that a be- quest had been made to the church from the late Herbert Hutcheson, and voted that this money be added to the building fund. A motion referred to the new Board of Management the question of a suitable memorial in the church for Mr. Hutcheson. It was reported that Dr. Lundy is seriously ill in hospital in Toronto, and the Vestry moved that the Rector convey greetings of the parish and take flowers when he next visits Dr. Lundy. The members were pleased to hear that Rev. Mr. Pelletier is making a very good recovery from his illness. Reports to the vestry were made by Mrs. Hayes for the Little Helpers, the Choir and the Afternoon Guild; by Miss M. Jarrett for the Evening Guild; by Mrs. Sonley, in the absence of Mrs. Bruton, for the Church School; by Mrs. Glass for the W.A., in the ab- sence of the treasurer; and Mrs, Mor- row for the G.A., Mr. Buckland for the Men's Club, Mrs. A. Allen for the Ladies' Club and Chancel Guild, and Mr. Santer for the Envelope Sccre- tary, in the absence of Mr. Bruton. The small attendance at the meeting and the absence of the treasurers of some organizations caused these re- ports to be, in some cases, incomplete. The vestry agreed to the appoint- ment of a Bulletin Secretary to put out the church bulletin and agreed to pay $60 a year for this service to whoever is willing to undertake the task. The Rector closed the meeting with prayer and refreshments were served by the Evening Guild, There will be Evensong as well as morning service this Sunday, Janu- ary 31st. At this time the Girls' Auxi- liary members will be enrolled and re- ceive their pins. At this and all fu- ture evening services, the GA girls will serve as sidesmen. The girls will wear their new uniforms for the occasion and the service will be fol- lowed by a get-together in the parish hall when Mr, H. Bué¢kland will show sothe of the slides he took in Eng: land during the/past summer, and re- freshments will be served by the La- dies' Club. The girls to be enrolled in the G.A. are: Mary Baker, Margaret Terrett, Jennifer Mumford, Carol Ann Morrow, Geradldine Dagenais, Carol Dagenais, Judy Dagenais, Marcia Williams, Lin- da Bruton, Catherine Jefford and Doris Popert, The Evening Guild will meet on February 1st, at the home of Mrs. Bruton and the Afternoon Guild on February 2nd. The Ladies Club held another successful euchre last Thurs- day and is planning two more for February. Our hall will be the scene of a din- ner meeting of the Public School Wo- men Teachers' Association of this area, on February 16th.

For the last few years we have sent a layette cach winter to Norway House and this will be done again this year. The committee has ordered a quantity of flannelette which we can get at a reduced price in this way. Since the letters which we received from Norway House al- ways stress the great need for diapers, we are hoping that each member will pay for enough flannelette for two diapers. If anyone wishes to donate any further articles, or any non-mem- ber would care to help, it would be deeply appreciated. We are hoping to have a special speaker at this meeting to enlighten us further on the work among our Indians, The February meeting will be held ot the home of Mrs. Lloyd Smith, There were many happy and proud childven at Prospect Church on Sun. day; the occasion of being the pre- sentation of the seals and diplomas for regular attendance during 1969.
