It was also an in- valuable experience {or the young counsellors and he hopes that some of them will be encouraged to work with disturbed children them~ selves in the future â€"- "That is, if we haven’t scared them off completely.” he added. Mr. Boden stressed that the camp had very limited careful briefing before they went and throughout the stay at camp, took part in discussions every night for one or two hours â€" some- times until miclnight, finding out how to handle problems that had arisen during the day. Mr. Baden felt. however. that the 16 were quite enough for the eight teen-age coun- sellors to handle. These sen- ior high school students had had about 10 to 12 hours Although 42 children were invited, only 16 attended the camp from June 19 to July 30. The children invited were chosen by the staff of the psychiatric outpatients clinic at York County Hos- pital, Newmarket. sociation fo r emotionall: disturbed children was term ed a success by the camp co‘ director Fred Baden.

Most came to the dining hall when meals were announced and stragg- lers followed along of their own accord. No pressure was put on the children to eat certain amounts of foods either. Some chose to eat only bread and butter for some meals â€" one youngster dined on three paper napkins and a paper cup once â€" but there was no illness of any kind and all the children put on weight. That there was no illness was even more unusual in the light of one experiment which was carried on. On the assumption that all these children had been deprived in one way or another, it was decided to give them all they wanted of something nice â€" chocolate bars. At the 3 o‘clock afternoon break each day, a table was loaded goals and that no real treat~ ment program had been un- dertaken. However as the staff got to know the child- ren better ways of handling them developed and sugges- tions were given to the coun- sellors as to how to carry these out. There was no set program. although swimming, boating and craft instruction was a ailabie to any who wished it. Mr. Boden felt that in spite of this, just as much had been accomplished in swimming skills, for in- stance, as if a set program of instruction had been laid down.

Mr. Boden did take the precaution of calling the local OPP contingent and advising them of the situa« tion but other than that. Such permissiveness was extended in other ways, to the little boy who ate paper when he was upset, and even to one youngster who per- sisted in running away. “I knew he was a particularly bright youngster, that the lake was tinged with cat- tages and that he could really look after himself,” said Mr. Baden." so the next time he disappeared no-one went after him." Of course this tapered off during the camp, although sometimes when a youngster was having a bad day. his consumption would shoot up again. Evidently the children finally had their fill anyway. because when the chocolate bars were not put out on the second last day of camp, the only ones who questioned it were two of the counsellors! The results, as described by Mr. Boden, were both humorous and sad. Some of the children, evidently in an attempt to make up all at once for some of the “sweet- ness” that had been lacking in their lives consumed up to 10 chocolate bars at a sitt- ing, using both hands and consuming half a 10c bar in one bite. with a variety of up to 100 chocolate bars and the only stipulation was that the children had to stay at the table to eat them. PERMISSIVE ATMOSPHERE 1 1111161 WW g?

Masser, professor of psy- chiatry at Emory University. Georgia to the effect that treating a family instead of an individual often uncovers the fact that a patient is a “scapegoat" for another member of the family who is more seriously upset emo- tionally than the one who had first been sent for help. Mr. Baden also noted that at the close of camp one parent had confided that al- though the family has been blaming some of the upset home atmosphere on the dis- turbed child, the same sort of things had gone on with him away, and so he wasn‘t at fault. (Parents had been asked to pay $60 for the camp, or to discuss finances with the camp authorities. Although various children were subâ€" sidized up to 100%, it is possible some parents found the $60 too much but did not wish to ask help.) As well as helping the children and teaching the counsellors and staff a great deal, Mr. Boden feels that the camp quite possibly pro- vided a learning situation for many parents. Firstly, he commented on the fact that parents of only 16 out of the 42 children invited let their children go to camp. This could point to a’pos- sible difficulty some parents may have in letting their children go and making them independent. Although the cottager was a bit put out at the camp's casual treatment of the af- fair, it was evidently the right treatment for the boy as he only disappeared once more, briefly, throughout the camp period. PARENTS HELPED nothing was done. Within two hours they had a call from a cottager advising that the boy was there and had asked that the camp directors be called to come and get him. “He chose us over the mosquitoes," was Mr Boden’s comment.

Both Dr. Perry and Mr. Boden applaud the new psy- chological services being pro- vided by five local school boards in the southern por- tion of the county. Mr. Boden is also deeply appre- ciative of the support of the York County Branch of the CMHA which agreed to un- derwrite the expenses of the camp up to $3,000. He sin- cerely hopes that it will be a continuing project. The psychiatric wing at the Newmarket hospital is not equipped to care for chil- dren. Accordingly, once a child has been diagnosed at the out-patient clinic there is little more that can be done for him. Dr. Paul Perry director of the psychiatric outpatients department, un- der whose guidance the camp was organized, stated recently that between three and four hundred new patients are seen at his department each year, two thirds of whom are children. With over 37,000 school- aae children in York County and estimates that anywhere from 5 to 20% of them need psychiatric help, Mr. Boden emphasises that a residential treatment centre in the area is urgently needed. In 1964, school inspectors had con- sidered that there were 400 children in the county in emergency need of treatment. NEED TREATMENT CENTRE Several of the children are felt to need residential treat- ment, Mr. Boden stated, but unfortunately there is no place to send them. other than to the Orillia hospital which is really for retarded children, which these are not; or to a training school. Although training schools provide no therapy for dis- turbed children, there is a type of disturbed child who benefits from the regimented life there. Most parents cannot afford the $20 per day cost of Warrendale. which is crowded anyway and the Thistletown Hospital is also full. 39° cies which referred them to the hospital and will hold follow~up appointments with parents. 889-1073 ............... u uuu, LIIC Last week reports included Commonwealth has done for the details concerning the Legion’s world in the past," he said grand president and the domin- “Those writing obituaries about ion president.

"Whatever happens in the fut- ure, I see no reason to forget or to underestimate what the Commonwealth has done for the world in the past," he said One of the two Canadian mo- tions discussed suggested that instead of expanding its own headquarters in London. the League should cope with in- creasing weifare work by shar- ing it among the member or- gauizations.
