There is such a shortage of babies and very young chil- dren available for adoption in York Region that the Child- ren‘s Aid Society of the region has applications on file that will not be filled for a year or more.

Modern birth control meth- ods and therapeutic abortions have cut down on the number of badies born. and more mothers are keeping their ille- gitimate babies. Children's Aid Sotiety “The work of the children’s aid as we have known it for 20 years has changed dramatically in the past six to eight months.” Mr. VanCamp told “The Lib- eral." to two years â€" approximately ten to 12 months, and it is the same for boys from two to five, but the waiting period for girls in this age group is 12 to 15 months.

I'm off to the "highland weekend." units in considering the physi- cal, emotional and legal aspects of an abortion. Delays in adoption place- ments for older children are not altogether due to the shortage of children. Waiting time for these children and for those with mixed racial background can range from eight to 15 months with a number of factors involved. Placement of the older child requires a number of visits for prospective parents and a much deeper understanding of behaviour problems and adjust- ment. For the child it is neces- sary that he understands the meaning of adoption to ensure a happy and secure placement for both child and adoptive parents. The visitation program is designed to minimize the risk of a future breakdown in the adoption. Since children of mixed rac- ial background are “hard to place,” the waiting time is not so long for those applicants who are sincerly inter- ested and who have the mat- urity to fullfil their role as par- ent of such a child. Young Viewing the current adoption situation, the board of direc- tirs of the agency, which has been placing about 200 children anually, approved a new inter- im adoption intake procedure at its meeting June 9. Ralph Misener of Jane Street, Maple. in Richmond Hill Pro- vincial Court on Thursday of last week, was convicted and fined $50 for common assault on youthful neighborhood farm workman Arthur Howden. Misener denied hitting How- den in the mouth with his fist April 26 in a field near the Misener residence where How- den was attempting to impound a Misener pony that was loose and causing damage to a hay field. Misener said Howden took the pony from an entanglement in bushes on the Misener rented property. He said the pony wasn’t in the field, denied know- ing Howden and said he “flip- ped Howden over my hip and he landed on his back on the ground.” “I don’t want any remarks from you, Mr. Misener, or I’ll cite you for contempt of court." thundered Provincial Judge Ro- bert Taylor as the convicted man began complaining loudly as he left the court to pay his fine. "I didn’t hit him with my fist. He must have gotten a head butt" swore Misener. Mrs. Rose Misener, who took the horse away during the al- tercation between the two men, took the stand and backed up her husband‘s testimony. Disqualified Woodbridge Driver But Judge Taylor refused to believe the Miseners, pointing out that Maple is a small com- munity where everybody knows everybody else, and it was a‘b- surd to ask him to believe the Miseners didn’t know long time neighbor Howden, who had been there before with the police about animals running loose. Howden said Misener’s punch cut his lip and loosened his teeth, so that he went to a doc- tor and was off work the rest of that day and the next. "He told me I’d better get out of there, get back on the tractor and get going,” testified How- deny “He said the next time we had a run in, he’d break every bone in my body., added How- den, who had refused to fight back. Judge Taylor said he had no doubt Misener took the law into his own hands instead of taking the proper peaceful course in disputing the impounding of the horse by the farm workman. 7 Days Jail,- Maple Man Is Fined For Fist Assault Jailed seven days for driving while disqualified was James Miller of Twin Hills Motel. Highway 27, Woodbridge, aged 61. Miller explained that he only drove home a girl in distress after an argument with her boy- friend at a party at another unit in the motel at 3:30 am June 24. Crown Attorney Andre Demp- sey told the court Miller was convicted in April for impaired driving and his license suspen- The board agreed to keep Powell Road School in Vaughan, which was closed a year ago and has been used as a textbook depository, and No. 4 School in Gormley which is closing this year. Staff suggested these schools might be needed for schools use. Strange School in King will also be kept until plans for development of the area are finalized. Black River School in Georgina will be kept pending exchange of lands with the Department of Highways. The board will terminate its lease with the Town of Vaughan for the Velore Shop and transfer its maintenance shop for areas 3 and 4 to Buttonville School. Hartman School east of Aurora will be used as a maintenance shop for areas 1 and 2. v Lloyd School will be vacated when the addi- tion to Lake Wilcox School is completed, but it will be kept by the board and used as a central storage depot when students move out. The former TSA 1 Markham office, which is located on the Woodland Senior School site, will be sold for demolition and the site retained for use by the school.

Glenn Hall, 19, of 47 Vern- wood Road and Peter Smith 18, of 490 Wilson Avenue, both pleaded guilty. Crown Attorney Dempsey said the two were breaking heaters from parking stands.
