Jefferys, Don Mills, Vanietr, Northview, Victoria Park, | York Mills, Emery, Downsview and Nelson A. Boylen pools. . "How would you define ‘the troubled child‘?" and "How do or can parents, school, community and government work together to help him?" were among the questions asked by Mrs. J.R. Baldwin, president of the University Women‘s Club of Weston and district, at the club‘s meeting held in Central ~‘United â€" Church recently. The answers were provided by guest panelists Mrs. Eileen Mclntyre, Planning Consultant, Family and Child Services division, Metro Social _ Planning Council, and Mr. Robert C o uc h m a n , Chief Attendance Counsellor, Special Education Services, Etobicoke Board of Education. THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1969 Mrs. Mclntyréy Mr. Couchman and Mrs. Baldwin had attended a weekâ€"long conference on "The â€" Troubled â€" Child" sponsored by the Junior League and the Ontario Division of the Canadian Mental Health Association last Novem ber, and presented _ their findings from the point of view of social worker, educator, and parent respectively. The troubled child is not necessarily abnormal, and for that reason may be difficult to detect, according to Mrs. Mcintyre. He may act in what seems to be a normal way and may create no trouble in the community. It is only when his longing for affection causes him to become excessively affectionate or his fear of ~punishment causes him to be excessively wellâ€"behaved that we realize that he is troubled. The troubled child Women‘s club hear the experts Mr. Couchman traced the history of society‘s fairly recent concern for such children: in © the late Nineteenth Century, long after Humane Societies were organized to â€" care for orphans; in the 1940‘s Memorial swimmers capture trophy North York Parks and Recreation department conducted its third swim meet at Memorial pool on March 21. The novice meet was viewed by over 500 spectators. Over 125 participants who «are presently enrolled in the North York program represented 10 borough pools. The entire meet ran smoothly and the many heats necessary to determine category winners were run in‘ rapid succession during the three hour meet. The department wishes to advise patrons that all pools will be closed on Good Friday and each Collegiate Pool will have special public swimming scheduled from 2:00 p.m. â€" 5:00 ‘p.m. on Monday, April 7, 1969. Societies â€" for _ Crippled Children began to care for the physically handicapped; much more recently various organizations have come into existence to care for the mentally retarded, the emotionally disturbed and others. FEWER SOCIAL WORKERS _ Mr. Gouchman deplored the tendency to _ shift responsibility â€" from the home to the school and/or social agencies within the community, and vice versa. He expressed grave concern over the fact that, even governments tend to shift their responsibilities, making grandiose promises but failing to . allocate sufficient money to implement them. As an example, he referred to the cutâ€"backs in the provincial budget announced recently; as a result, there will be five fewer social workers engaged in the preventive services â€" and this at a time when the need for more clinics, _ more. dayâ€"care centres and m ore homemaking â€" services _ is becoming in creasingly apparent! Mrs, Mcintyre pointed out that parents have" the fundamental _ say in involving various technical experts in the community and in seeking the aid of the several levels of government. She said that active communication among the different groups concerned with the problem _ is essential. To illustrate, he referred to a recent study of slightly more than half the children living in a certain area, a study which showed that 200 of the 900 surveyed needed some psychiatric help; yet the only clinic in the area can look after no more than 28 at one time!

Conversely, it was realized that adults need to reâ€"assess their values, looking closely at themselves and asking "How can I put my concern into practice?" â€" for only through the active involvement of more and more concerned people will the dream of an untroubled child in an untroubled society become a reality. Mr.. White said the boundary lines separating the . three municipalities often cut through back yards and the middle of buildings. Alderman John Williams, chairman of a North â€" York _ committee investigating _ municipal government in _ Metro recently _ said that the boundary lines of that municipality with York and East York should be straightened out.
