Adjournments, remands. post- ponements, call it what you like, but it is occurring with entirely too much frequency in local courts of law. We are true believers in democratic prin- ciples and fairness for all concerned but we feel that in too many instances the temperate hand of justice is being taken for a weekly walk down the garden path. Remands have become so common that the ritual consumes almost as much time as the actual cases that are heard. People are be- ing continually inconvenienced. Off- duty ofiicers give of their free hours for nothing. Witnesses come and go. In one American city a recent survey in a. slum area revealed that 70 per cent of the boys and girls be- tween 16 and 21 years of age were out of school and out of work. This situation is “social dynamite.” Such a. large group of unhappy, idle mis- 3.

The disappearing market for unskilled labour which formerly ab- sorbed most of the drop-outs; 2. The concentratiofi of drop-outs in large urban centres, and the sur- rounding suburban areas; - School authorities are concern- ed about: Reasons for deepening concern about the problem are many, but primarily are connected with the rapidly changing world of today. There have always been drop- outs in our educational system, and although the numbers have increas- ed rapidly in recent years so has the student population, so that the per- centage of drop-outs is no larger, if as large, as formerly. True nearly half of the children entering first grade do not graduate from high school, and about one-third of those who get as far as the ninth grade do not complete theirAtwelfth year. A report presented to York Cen- tral District High School Board that two hundred more students than had been anticipated had chosen the technical option for next year, indi- cates clearly that parents are very appreciative of the board’s attempt to do something to solve the problem of drop-outs.

Is it any wonder that our court dock- ets are continually crowded? â€" Stouffville Tribune In fact, the chances are that a pupil with any of these handicaps cannot qualify for vocational train- ing in the first place. The plaintiff or the accused bide their time. The youth who is unable to read well, who is belligerent and unco- operative, or who lacks a proper sense of responsibility and discipline is unlikely to hold a job regardless of his training in a specializedrskill. Without some kind of salable skill, today’s drop-out (or graduate) does not fit easily into the changing economic pattern, where automation and other labour-saving processes are rapidly taking the place of unskilled or semi-skilled workers. Even where such jobs still exist, the tendency is for employers to hire youths with more education and therefore great- er potential, so that they can move up in the organization as openings occur, officials report. Broader pre- paration is required throughout the schooling period, officials explain, since more than ability to perform a job is required of young people. At least 20 per cent of persons currently unemployed are under 21 years of age, authorities say. They add that keeping pupils in school longer is not the simple answer to the problem. Better job preparation is an essential factor in the solution. and the introduction of vocational training in this high school district is a giant step towards the fulfill- ment of this. fits may be easily led into organized crime, radical political thinking and action and bigotry. Seeds of dissatisfaction and hatred find fer- tile ground and violence on a small or large scale may result. 1 “41/2 Jig/f 7” 10c single copy 26, 1962 2900'”! jAoqulé .

Little The aim of the clinic experts is to get to the bottom of the trouble and find out what’s really caus- ing it, which is something the patient’s family is rarely able to do. And then with this knowledge they can usually help the patient back to good health. The actual steps to be taken will naturally vary with each individual case. The clinic group may be able to do its job in just a few visits, or it may take a much longer time . . . more talks . . . instruction in mental hygiene . . . visits to the home and interviews with the other members of the family. In other words, the whole aim of the clinic group is to have people reach the clinic for treatment in time so that there will be no need of ever needing mental hospital care. Generally speaking, mental health clinics are staffed by a team of experts in mental health led by a psychiatrist, who is also a medical doctor with specialist training in this field. On arrival at the clinic, the patient is usually interviewed by the psy- chiatric social worker who gathers all the facts about the case. (Everything discussed at the clinic is treated with utmost confidence.) Then the clinic psychologist chats with the patient. possibly giving a personality and aptitude test. The psychiatrist enters the picture and the clinic group decides the best way of helping the patient. The York County Mental Health Clinic is run by the York County Health Unit under Dr. R. M. King, M.O.H. The services provided by this clinic have to do with child guidance and include the rehabilitation of emotionally disturbed children and teen-agers. Psychiatric care is available to anyone in the county that is referred to the clinic by the family doctor. Mental health clinics are being used in growing numbers by people from all walks of life who are seek- ing sympathetic. expert guidance out of their emotion- al difficulties. It may be serious husband and wife trouble: a business man who finds that he’s losing his grip and can’t concentrate or make decisions; 3 child brought in by parents as very “difficult”; people crushed by fears they can’t explain or suffering from aches and pains arising from disturbed minds; the excessively shy ones as well as those so aggressive that they always “rub people the wrong way”. And many others with specific emotional problems can be helped by the mental health clinic. THE CLINIC THAT HELPS TO REBUILD MENTAL HEALTH The first steps to the establishment of a Mental Health Clinic in York County were taken by the York County Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Asso- ciation several years ago, after the need for such a clinic was established. In July 1961, Dr. S. E. Jensen, LMCC, took over the position as director of the clinic that was established in Newmarket, and which was to serve all of York County. In his annual report, Dr. Jensen stated that he was pleased that the clinic had met with such favor in York County and that it was now necessary to establish a waiting list. Mental health clinics are here to help people out of their emotional troubles. They enable people to meet life capably and hopefully and even save them from serious breakdowns. The thing to remember, is that sickness of the mind. like other sicknesses has its best chance of cure in the early stages. The im- portant difference between physical and mental ill- ness is this; most physical illnesses get progressively better or worse, while there is a whole range of men- tal ailments which if left neglected might not reach the mental hospital stage. This year, the Richmond Hill Fair hopes to have an art show, and a rabbit and cavy (guinea pig) show. Last, but not least, there is talk about a horse- shoe pitching competition. Take the day off from all your cares and worries. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to meet so many of your friends there. And can you doubt that your children will love the fair? The price is right, only 50c for adults and 25c for children. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! The dairy princess competition is a special event also. What a joy it is to see those lovely fresh-faced young girls with smiles on their lips and unspoken hope in their eyes. Their very presence adds a great deal to the happiness of others who are fortunate enough to be able to see them. The events will be well worth coming to see. There will be the midway rides and the sideshows. This is always exciting, especially for children and youth. And I suspect many of us older folk are glad of the opportunity to capture the spirit of childhood even if it’s only for a moment out of time. Animal lovers will be glad that the Jersey Cattle Club of York County are again sponsoring the York County Jersey Show. And don’t forget the horse show! The hunter and jumper competition sponsored by the York Coun- ty Federation of Agriculture and the York County Club will be an exciting event. What drama there is. in the sight of horse and rider performing! Heavy draught horses will be shown. You won't be able tc look at these fine animals without remembering those others who played such a part in the development of our country. Richmond Hill Fair will be coming our way on Saturday, May 19. Be sure to keep that date open. Fairs are a very important part of our way of life. We have come a long way from the little rural fair perhaps, but it is only because in the name of prog- ress we have begun to take a much larger view of what a fair should be. The people behind these fairs are to be congratulated on their untiring efforts to make them a success year after year. Our own Richmond Hill Fair is sponsored by the Richmond Hill Agricultural Society which was founded in 1849. At this time, the president is Milton Savage Jr. from Richmond Hill . . . the first vice-president is Lloyd Beatty of Markham Township . . . and the second vice-president is Art McKeown from Vaughan Town- ship. This fair is financed by grants from the Prov- ince of Ontario and York County and it is also sup- ported by Richmond Hill, Markham and Vaughan. Some individuals and corporations also donate to- ward it. PROMPT COURTEOUS SERVICE HEIGH-HO!

FORMEI MAYOR Dear Mr. Television Rentals} By Day - week - or Month TELEVISION ANTENNAS 2. Mr. Thomas, in favouring liquor outlets in the Hill. is ad- vocating opportunities for us Canadians to show how we can handle the stuff. He has already indicated what a spectacle we would likely give, since we still lack a “wise education in the home" and villify it (social drinking). Perhaps Mr. Thomas would show your readers that there is no paradox in recom- mending opportunities to drink to a group he deplores u glut- tons.

The description of "de- graded, giuttonous drinking which is attributed only to Can- adians, on further investigation by an impartial observer, would probably turn out to be an un- pleasant characteristic of ap- proximately the same fraction of any of the national groups which took part in the war. Inâ€" cluded would be one from the UK. despite it being a “society where social drinking is a part of everyday life". My family and I have lived in the Hill for only a few years, but long enough to have ac- quired a real affection for this fine town and also long enough to appreciate the excellent job that “The Liberal" does as In important part of our commun- ity life. In your issue of the 12th of this month in your “Letters to the Editor" there appeared an item signed “D. Thomas” in which were some intemperate comments on some aspects of Canadian temperance. With your permission I would like to add two small paragraphs. In closing I want to say I am not writing this letter be~ cause I em for wet or dry. That doesn't concern me It all. We have a liquor store here end if I want a bottle of wine there are plenty of police to stop the‘ traffic for I mlle to let me In or out. Lewis Clement, Centre St. East READER REPLIESâ€""m MR. 1). THOMAS Dear Mr. Editor: Don‘t let anyone tell you we have ample fire and police pro- tection and sewer facilities to accommodate all the hotels and liquor selling outlets which could spring up here. Remem- ber it will be the outside auth- orities which will tell us how many liquor licences can be is- sued and what we have to do. The Mayor and council have told us the names of certain men who made application re- garding the securing of a li- quor selling licence. We are not fooled by the liquor inter- ests who have names on formal applications. We are concerned about the big fellows at the back who seem so desperate to get into the liquor business here.

Saturday_ 1 This whole thing smells to me. I am sorry I must disagree with the Mayor who I think ap- pears too anxious in pushing this thing. Everyone knows I formerly supported the Mayor, but it is only a few months since the election. and nothing was said then about outside in- terests wanting liquor licences in Richmond Hill. There are many ways taxes could be reduced. We are fill- ing our office space, and bulld~ ing more, with men on [at sal- arles and what has it got us â€"â€" always higher taxes. Why have- n't they brought us some new Industry to justify all this ex- pense? I ask my fellow taxpayers to think this matter over very carefully before the vote. Don't be fooled by all this talkmbout lower taxes. Don't let anybody chuck this down your throats. If they build a hotel or hotels and we haven't the fire protec- tion and equipment for such buildings our insurance rates will jump. We are told the pol- ice force can handle the situa- tion with the men they have. Why did the Chief ask for two more men a yen; ago. Don't be fooled by misleading promises of outside interests whose only thought is to come here and reap profits. We have been fooled before by promises of projects which were going to reduce taxes. We all know the result â€" increased taxes. This is not 1 wet and dry is- sue with me. There is no one in rthis town knows better than I do the position and difficul- ties of people who bought homes here and are having dif- ficulty holding them.
