Carolyn Morton, of the Blackstock Nursery - School, introduced Lloyd White, on the 28th of March, at the Cartwright Central Public School Library, as the speaker for the second in the series of Parent Education Programs in honour of the a. International Year of the Child. Mr. White talked about physical abuse and emotion- al and nutritional neglect across Canada and within Durham, which is found closer to our home than we would like to admit. Accor- ding to the Child Welfare Act Section 41, Sub-section 1; if anyone has knowledge of the abandonment, desertion, or physical harm of a child, they "must" .notify the proper authorities under penalty of the law. Child Abuse is a very negative subject, but a very 'real' one. Emotional and Social abuse were aptly described in a film from the Board of Education called, Cipher in the Snow. The child through a family break-up, un- interested teachers, and rude peers, quietly died a nothing person. Children learn through divorce, separation and other social pressure to take the easy way out, because nothing is worth it. Mr. White main- tained that being the model has a great impact - if you care they will care, if you are disrespectful they will be disrespectful. During a slide presen- tation showing physical evidence of ° bruises, cigarette burns, and other malicious inflictions, many facts and figures were brought to the attention of the group. Last year in Canada 68,000 children were placed in the custody of Welfare due to physical abuse: before a child is Several Port Perry High School students compet- ed in a Science Fair on March 28 and 29.

Do your plans involve alter- ing the stream running through your property? If you want to dam the stream to create a pond, relocate the stream, widen, deepen or straighten it have you considered what you "may" be doing? A dam will block fish migration routes to spawn- ing areas further upstream and may destroy an entire fish population. Water held in ponds gets very warm. The warmer the water becomes, the less oxygen it holds. Less oxygen means more algae growth, more decay and more smell!! Construction will erode streambanks, the silt will be carried downstream to cover and destroy spawning beds. Lower water levels and poor water quality will be the overall result. Soon the productivity of the stream will decrease and fish, especially cold water species like trout, will no longer find the stream a hospitable place in which to live. All these problems could have been avoided if each property owner had consul- ted the Ministry of Natural Resources. Under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act, the Ministry of Natural Resources has the authority to advise and give approval for permits that allow for stream alterations that hold back or divert the natural water flow.

One of the traits of abusing parents is to 'hos- pital shop', traveling to different hospitals in the area to avoid records building up in one place. Apparently the right of parents to have a 'private life' comes before the right of a child to grow-up without physical abuse. After a short coffee break the group gathered on the more positive note of good parental skills. In the first place a couple must deter- mine before marriage if they are parent material; money, purpose, emotional stability, and number of children should all be part of the discussion. Parents should learn to be firm and fair at an early age trying to show consistency in their rules. It is important to remember that love and respect are far more important than material items. It is not fair to make comparisons within the family unit or among peers; children are in- dividuals and will shine in their own special traits. Parents teach their children what to expect out of life by their example. Enjoy your children during the short time they are with you and treat them with the same respect you desire.
