Sixty happy, laughing Grade 1 children boarded a bus at Cordella Avenue School, Tuesday morning and headed for the Municipal Buildings. The children took the opportunity on the short bus drive to sing many of the songs they have recently learned in the classrooms. ;"",q & | §\. *« ({!,‘". é . p‘u 1 Ibai~ x/ +) m p f 2. 3 CX j JC 4 4’ NE | 4 2 leey‘ , 4 mz _ > 5 The bus stopped at the dog pound, where the children were met by their guide, Richard Wood. Mr. Wood explained to the children how many of the animals arrived at the pound and cautioned them not to put their hands too near the cages. This safety feature was demonstrated _ by _ our photographer, _ Colin Bowlden. Mr. Bowlden spotted a skunk, went up to the cage to pat it and was bitten. Although the children received a good laugh over the incident, it did serve as a good warning.

The scene stealer was ‘"Scuttlebut". Scuttlebut is a duck that has made his permanent home at the pound. He was taken outâ€" doors and performed much to the delight of the children, showing them how he can put his head under the water with his eyes open. After each performance, Scutâ€" tlebut would give himself a good shake, spraying the children with water. cats, skunk, monkey, baby Canada Goose, rabbits, guinea pigs, painted turtle, gerbils and an alligator were all on display. The children then toured the police station. They were escorted through by the station Police Constable Susan Smith, who showed them the telex machine and offices in the building. Miss Smith was swamped with questions about the "wanted" pictures. â€" ,â€"g.,, _ CARRIERS ig 4. ,?/ ,} WANTED 67 i3 Boys and Girls She ably answered all WESTONâ€"YORK TIMES for the question put to her and took time out to explain some of the various medicines they should be aware of. The children were acâ€" compained by Miss S. Dalrymple and Miss B. Eardley, their teachers, and Mrs. Paton, Mrs. Moss, Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Breen, parents. Les Brown was waiting at me historical room, where the children saw pictures and objects of years ago. Mr. Brown explained some of the pictures and antiques that make up the historical room. They were allowed to sit in the Mayor‘s chair and speak through the microphone. Mr. White took off his chain of office and put it on Robert Meikle, who became Mayor for a few moments. Mayor â€" Philip White arrived, wearing his chain of office, at the children‘s request and asked if they had any questions. The children only came up with one and that was the problem of pollution. It is evident, therefore, that space, the opportunity for imaginative play, the intelligent provision of suitable toys, the facilities for movement and stimulus, is essential for healthy physical, emotional and intellectual growth. Studies of highâ€"rise living have shown that children living in apartments get less exerâ€" cise, make fewer friends and have fewer contacts with people and things outside their own home. All of this is harmful _ to _ optimum physical, emotional and intellectual growth. High density apartment living makes it even more difficult for the modern family to provide all that a child needs. Many studies of early learning have shown that environmental variety Reality: Day care centres do not substitute for parental care â€" they supplement it. Therefore they should not be regarded as substitute parents. Beyond that, it is still not true that parents are always the best people to bring up children. The very existence of ‘"battered babies" provides horrifying evidence against this belief. The Bureau of Municipal Research has done extensive research on the growing problem of day care centres. The following are some of the results of this research, as published in the B.M.R. ‘‘Comment‘" of April 1971. Myth: Parents are always the best people to bring up children. Inconvenient as these outhouses may have been compared to _ today‘s modern, _ allâ€"purpose bathrcoms, they were a part of picneer life, and for this reason two of these strucâ€" tures have recently been acauired by Black Creek Picneer Village as additions to the buildings there. The Village is operated by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and is located at Jane St. and Steeles Ave. The latest addition to the Village outhouses was found beside a miller‘s home on the Credit River at Lime House. When harking back to the "good old days" of our pioneer forefathers, most people gloss over many of the things that weren‘t as good by comparison with modern day standards â€" including outdoor toilet facilities, or outhouses.

"ABOVEâ€"GROUND" Myth: A woman‘s place is in the home. Reality: Whether or not one approves of it, one must recognize the fact that women just are not staying in the home. More and more women are working and even more are likely to start working. They make up oneâ€" third of the labour force. The question, therefore, is not really whether or not women should stay in the home â€" the women themâ€" selves have already decided that question â€" but what is going to happen to their children. Py not providing adequate day care we are clearly not keeping women in the home. But we may be denying adequate care to a lot of children. Contrary _ to â€" popular opinion, mothers have not always been solely responâ€" sible for the care of children. Wealthy mothers have always hired nannies or governesses to help bring up their children, and lowâ€" income mothers have always Consequently, _ parents living in high density areas who use day care should not be regarded as "deficient parents‘‘. It is perhaps the environment that should be regarded as deficient. are not merely desirable at the preâ€"school stage; they are essential. This enâ€" vironment needed for such development is almost exactly the opposite of what we are providing in our communities today. It differs greatly from the presentâ€"day concept . of outhouses in that it is a threeâ€" holer, and its architecture is Greek revival. It was acquired on a longâ€"term loan basis from the Credit River Conservation Authority and is now being restored by Black Creek staff members. It is built of lathe and plaster inside, has clapboard sides, and the back of the building is of board and batten construction. The roof is covered with shingle shakes and glass windows run down both sides of the door. It is believed these were originally covered with blinds or curtains. The first outhouse at Black Creek is made of circular logs and was restored by the Village staff after being found in a derelict condition. It is now part of the Stong farm buildings at the Village.

Now, however, fewer people are rich enough to hire nannies and fewer people have a grandmother or an aunt living with them, so other supplementary care must be found. Reality: In one out of every ten Canadian families, the mother is the sole breadâ€" winner. The lower the husband‘s income, the more likely the wife is to work. Is the desire to try to pull oneself up from subsistance living or up from welfare living, _ "necessity" _ or "choice?" Is the desire to save for a . small home ‘‘necessity" or "choice?" Is the desire to save for a child‘s education ‘necessity" or "choice"? Myth: Women who work do so from choice rather than from necessity: If day care facilities were available, they could work at the same time and be able to spend time with each other and their children. Reality: The reasoning behind this is if women leave the home, the family will break up. Many argue, however, that just the opâ€" posite is frequently true â€" that day care can prevent family breakdown, by relieving certain physical and mental strains on family life. There is also a growing number of people who feel that is is unhealthy for the family if a woman who wishes to start working is forced to stay home. It is preferable she do so rather than _ feel _ compelled, unhappily and resentfully, to remain at home. MYTH: Day care leads to family breakdown: Day care can also be tremendously supportive of families through periods of emotional and physical health crisis. Reality: A day care centre combines love and warmth with _ an _ intellectually stimulating _ environment. Not only are day care cenâ€" tres not necessarily damaging to young children, they may also be positively good for them. Many psychologists have pointed out the early years are the most important years in the intellectual growth of a child. The stimulating enâ€" vironment of a day care centre would benefit this growth.
