Final Program, Family Life Series “We are living in a sex-satur- ated society. The only effect- ive approach to this problem is sound and constructive educa- tion.” Rev. Father Leo Lafren- iere. OMI. co-ordinator of fam- ily life and sex education in the Thunder Bay Separate Schools finds the practice of this theory a full time occupation. but he Most of themâ€" the married ones in particular. were some- what sceptical of what they would gain from the course; they felt they knew the score and were participating only to get the two credits. It was only after the second week they came to realize they knew little about human sexuality, said Father Lafreniere. What amazed him most was the Wil- lingness of the students to share their experiences, fears and anxieties with each other. Men and women who had come from all parts of Canada, per- is taking time out of his busy schedule to be in Richmond Hill Monday evening to conduct the fourth and final program in the family life series, “The Family And Sex Education” being pre- sented at Wrixon Hall at 8 pm by a committee composed of church and community repre- sentatives. His topic will be Education Needed Meet Challenge Today's Sex-Saturated Society; “Human Sexuality And The Family In A Changing World". A Manitoba born Oblate, this gifted but humble priest has been described as the first Roman Catholic priest to take a positive, constructive, scien- tific, Christian approach to solve the problem of sex as it must be lived today. and is in demand as advisor and consult- ant to many non-Catholic groups In the field of family life education Father Lafreniere attended Manitoba Public Schools, Mani- toba.

LEO LAFRENIERE Thunder Bay Educator feel strangers to one another, became close friends after a week. He pointed out that this type of friendship was a very important component of an in- stitute of this nature. In Ottawa last December a national information service on family life and sex education was launched and is operating under the name of OTENA, an Algonquin Indian word embrac- ing the concepts of family, home, warmth and affection. The service is almost a fulfil~ ment of the personal crusade of Father La‘freniere and will rely heavily on the program used in the separate schools at Thunder Bay for the past year. It will provide data to school boards, church leaders, teachers, par- ents and all others interested in introducing a family life and sex education program in their community. Father Lafreniere feels that if OTENA becomes a successful instrument, planned sexual en- lightenment will soon become a fixed part of the Canadian education system.

We didn't think this project should be debentured." Reeve Plaxton summed it up by saying. "The main problem is definitely one of i space.“ He then suggested that the use of space the. town already'owns almost adjacent to the fire hall (the former Mrs. 0. L. Wright property). if money for this project is not avail- able this year. Chief Stong drew appreciat-‘ ive chuckles from council when he commented that for the past three years he had asked that O a new fire hall be built. “At this time I am asking for on]:. half that â€" that a storey be i added to the existing hall.“ MOOWOOOOOO” (Continued from Page 1) in Richmond Hill, on one street, and you’re setting a precedent,” charged Mr. Plaxton. “We can be swamped with requests for sidewalks in front of other schools and we'd have to give it. I’m not ready to give it. The whole town needs sidewalks. Every street needs a side- walk. We have 4,000 kids wan- dering around on their way to and from school all over town â€" not just in Beverley Acres. [11 may sound crude but I can see no more value to a child’s life in Beverley Acres than to a child’s life anywhere else in town. Sure we need sidewalks. Our policy has been one of nec- essity because of finances. We simply can’t afford them.” “Has any attempt been made to approach the people who would be concerned?” queried Councillor David Schiller. “From my office, no," replied the works commissioner. “Hav- ing regard to’ the time element, there isn’t time. You will also have: to keep in mind that on Neal Drive these people are already paying an indirect storm sewer charge of $2 per foot frontage, per annum. It is very, very doubtful if they would agree to adding a charge for a sidewalk.” ' Councillor Lois Hancey sug: gested the question be tabledL until council has evolved a sidewalk policy. The reeve‘ agreed that a policy was needâ€" ed. “We must come up with jpriorities, where the need is‘ greatest. I would say in front iof schools would be a logical. first priority, but we \vouldi want to spend the money avail- able, if any, in areas where the greatest hazard exists. We have heard nothing from the police chief that safety problems are involved. We must establish a policy first and then /fit it to our finances," he declared. “We appreciate the fact that you are concerned ' about finances,” Mr. Mans- bridge told Mr. Plaxton. “But it is not a serious con- sideration of finances if you overlook a saving of $5.000. If we wait it may cost us twice as much later for the extension. We are doing a project which is absolutely essential and we would be acting irrespons- ibly if we did not consider the $5,000 saving.” “There‘s a fair amount of logic in what you have just said,” admitted the reeve, “But if someone else comes in and says ‘We want a sidewalk in front of our school,’ we are go- ing to have to say ‘no’. We won't have enough money to do it." Neal Drive Sidewalk: Mr. Mansbridge pointed out that time is running out. “This project must be completed to tie in with the opening of the new Reynolds plant." The works commissioner re- ported he should have the nec- essary specifications ready to call for tenders in about two weeks. Deputyâ€"reeve Ivan Mans- bridge, added “I don’t think the efficiency of the department will suffer if it doesn’t get this extra space. Would you con- sider a new truck or this ad- dition as most necessary?” he asked the fire chief. pointing out that he had been told it would be necessary to replace the oldest of the three trucks this year.

Frederico Inquest Marc/7 I I Markham Township de- velopers are going Metro developers one better when it comes to a price on land for school sites. When York County Ro- man Catholic School Board went shopping for an eight acre site, the price quoted was $578,600, about $72,325 per acre. York County Board of Education has also been negotiating for a site in the same area and was in- formed by the deveIOper that the price would be about $37,000 per acre plus $3,000 for services (roads, sewers, etc.) for a 25 acre campus site for three schools. The developer had paid $7,000 an acre for the land. ' 'At a recent meeting of the county public school board a Vaughan Township developer told the trustees that $60,000 an acre could be considered a reasonable price in Metro. He was of- fering to build schools in his development projects and lease them to the board as an alternative to high cost of land purchase and construction costs. The R o m a 11 Catholic Board's Business Adminis- trator Percy LaFramboise c om m e n t e d, “The price quoted the public school is staggering enough. The price quoted the separate schools is out of this world." “Why the big prices?" asks Mr. LaFramboise in a press release. "It is high time sufficient pressures were brought to bear upon vested interests . . . the de- veloper is creating the need for schools, he should be prepared to bear a larger portion of the cost in- volved."
