Dr. Blair Mitchell, coron- er, declared Mrs. MacKay dead at the scene. “People have always con-l nected sexuality with life â€"â€" with the mystery of life â€" the fire and energy of life. Society today is afraid to mention death and this aversion to death is responsible for our obsession with sex. We feel most alive when we are involved in a lov- ing, passionate relationship, and can push the thought'of death away.” An audience of 200 teenagers, parents and clergymen gathered‘ in Wrixon Hall, St. Mary's An-Y glican Church to hear family life educator Mrs. Mary-Sue McCarthy talk about “Rules To Relationships", Monday evenâ€" ing, when the third program of the series “The Family And Sex Education” was presented. Mrs. McCarthy traced the at- titudes of the Jewish people and the Greeks of Roman times, toward women through the Vic- torian era to the 20th Century suffragettes wh o demanded equality, and stated that the‘ fighting between the sexes still rages -â€" man is afraid of being emasculated by the woman who takes his money, while the wo- man feels she will be swallowed up by this dominant male if she surrenders herself completely to him. human contact to develop and {nature if he is to face life and not choose to escape from it when he grows to adulthood. We know also that a child does have feelings and that his first stage is ‘need love', which will develop when he finds he can do things, into a ‘give love’ patâ€" tern." “We are all sick and neurotic, all immature", said Mrs. Mcâ€" Carthy, “the only difference is in the degree. Even married people have hangâ€"ups about sex", she continued. “but in this century we have gained some insight into our changing attitudes particularly in our re- lationships with children. We now know that what happens to a child is most important. We know that he needs love and Children are sensualists, hed- onists to the core, but the wise parents try to build in a few self-controls and to teach the child these controls are for his own good, not for the parents‘ sake. In this way the child will learn to handle later problems} of control. Simple, clear facts about sex should be presented to the child, but in such a way as to give him respect for the sacredness of sex. Children may find the body funny, but this is a good way to introduce a little humor into the subject and provides them with armor :against the sex information beamed at them from all sides today. The crisis of puberty is very Th real to the boy or girl enterâ€" ing this stage and each exper- iences nature’s way of develop- ing them along the road to maâ€" turity. At this point girls usually wrap themselves in ro-' mantic dreams and boys are beginning to assert their masc- ulinity. Puberty highlights they ambivalence of teenagers, half; loneliness, half longing. Sudden‘ modesty overtakes them, they are self-absorbed, starting to mature and are no longer the possessions of parents. These youngsters have to believe they are lovable and the girl who gives herself without love is not at all sure that she is lov- lable.

Vaughan Township Police Discover Ashes Of Stolen $5,500 Vehicle Police Crime Report Mrs. McCarthy concluded “everyone has a fear of being exploited, but the man who loves and appreciates himself can surrender in a loving, gen- tle' relationship with respect. equality and no fear of being exploited. Marriage and child- ren require a great deal of effort and trouble, but they are still wort-h it. Everything in the home is an extension of a woman and reflects her own attitude towards herself.” Following a brief intermis- sion during which coffee was served, the panel of teenagers then took Ithe floor for the final half of the program. Janet Kudelka, an 18-year-old from Aurora felt the communications media is encouraging sex and giving it much morepublicity. Twelve and 13-year-olds are ‘growing up much faster today and are not equipped to handle the emotional problems which confront them. Trained psychol- ogists should be used in the schools to teach “emotional edu- cation”, she said. Wayne Cornack, :1 Richmond Hill teenager contended the sexual revolution began with evolution of the automobile which affords young people more isolation and privacy. Replying to a question from the audience about the problem of sexual freedom resulting in pregnancy for the girl. his answer was that two people, mature and in loving relation- ship to each other must make their own decisions about sex, and if pregnancy resulted they would be responsible enough to marry. Seif control, not birth con‘ trol is needed by young people today, said Paula Dwyerl a_lso a local student. Anyone who has younger brothers and sisters has a glimpse into parenthood, she continued, and can see how difficult this role can be. a young couple must make their own decisions about sex. but felt that contraception informa- tion should be supplied by parâ€" ents. The fourth teenaged panelist was Terence Munsey of Rich- mond Hill and he agreed that In response to another ques- tion from the audience as to what chance marriage between teenagers had of lasting for 20. 30 or 40 years, the panelists agreed that teenage marriages had little chance of succeeding although there were exceptions. Mrs. McCarthy interjected, “early marriage means finding responsibilities and commit- ments before you find your- self." The capacity to love is what matters, she said and too early experiences may harden a young girl so that she may inever develop in a mature way“ The main problem today is that nothing in our society teaches self control. The Victorian idea that willpower meant repression has given way to the belief [that willpower means strength Iand we should practise self control so we may go on to better, higher things. A teenaged girl in the audi- ence commented that parents must erect fences around their children, but should move them out a little at a time, to enable their children to grow. They 'must also “ease off” being a parent and be a friend to their teenagers in order to keep the lines of communication open {between them. A member of ‘the panel brought laughter from the audience with the con- }cluding remark, “We must be icareful also not to make parents {feel inadequate." Automobiles driven by Barb; ara Brooke of 222 Altamira Road. Richmond Hill and Paul Jardine of Keele Street. Downs- view, collided at Maple Road and Dufferin Street on Februâ€" ary 21. The cars had $150 and $200 damage respectively. Also February 21 a car driven by Giacino Ricci of Osler Street. Toronto, had $300 ‘damage when it went out of control and turned over. This was on Jane Street south of Maple Sideroad. The car, a 1969 light blue Lotus Europa, was stolen dur- ing the night from the home of Randall Platt, Warrender Ave- nue. Toronto. Other criminal activity in Vaughan Township included a breakâ€"in attempt during the week at an Oxford Street home, north of Richmond Hill. Pry marks were discovered Febru- ary 20 around a window of the home. This was the second try at this home. A small amount of cash was stolen in a break-in the previous day. On February 20 at CP Tool and Die Co. Ltd., Woodbridge. 14 gallons of gasoline were stolen from a company truck parked on the premises. At Uplands Golf Club, Thorn- hill, on February 21, someone smashed the no-draft window in a parked car and took $38 from a purse left on the back seat.

Miss Kel'shaw was introduc- ed by Vaughan Township Trus- tee Warren Bailie, chairman of York County Board‘s commit- tee on children with learning disabilities. The series is planned primar- ily to help teachers, and the speaker emphasized specific points regarding teaching of the learning disabled child. She stated that no miracles could be expected in this comp- licated field from having a child jump a trampoline or walk a balance beam. Co-oper- ation between parent and teacher is a must. To place a time limit on the remedial work would be a mistake, said Miss Kershaw. A child could be withdrawn from a special program just at a break- ;through period. Diagnosis of children with learning disabilities is difficult, and patterns of behavior have probably been noficed by efiher parents or 5091301 officials by the time 3 dia osis is decided upon. Terminology has been used loosely, and problems may have their origin before or at the time of birth. or they may be the result of cultural and/or emotional deprivation. It may be the result of uneven neurologic- y2:11 development, as sometimes occurs in the case of prem- .ature babies. The deaf or the blind child has a severe learning disability. Studies have shown that children with learning disabili- ties do not respond to usual teaching methods effectively or efficiently. Learning occurs through the, central nervous system, that the senses, hearing, sight, etc. translate sensations, and a Children with learning _dis- abilities, said Miss Kershaw, are storing incorrect images in their memory banks. Pieces are missing in hair learning. “memory bank” stores and in- terprets this information. Higher levels of learning show memory of symbols such as are found in art forms or religion and colloguialisms such as “keep your nose clean”, meaning “keep out of trouble”. Their problem is not in the sensory system, but in a break- down in receiving information. If a child is weak in organiza-i ‘tion of thought, this is a dis-I ability when he reaches a stage in school where he is expected ' to write a composition around' ‘a theme, but cannot express ‘himself in written or verbal. :form satisfactorily. This is par- iticularly evident in the higher; ‘grades where more stress is; iplaced upon self-expression. ‘1‘ 1 An in-built anxiety is a great, ‘difficulty in the learning dis-fl abled child. and he copes with ‘ this in the best way he can.
