Muffler & Tail Pipe le 889-1646 LTD SPECIAL However. it was more ad- visable to “submerge protec- tion into prevention." The three levels of prevention included the one already out- lined, preventing problems from arising and early inter- vention before problems were fully formed. EARLY INTERVENTION There were two approach- es to the first method; the first w a s accomplished through the identification of people prior to the onset of difficulties. The second consisted of the development of adequate institutional pro- visions for everyone, such as employment, income and housing. Early intervention will be achieved by having CA staff “highly visible in local neigh- borhoods," working out of “non-stigmatized, social util- ity type locations such as schools and libraries." Workers and clients must also develop informal re- sources within the area, such as temporary foster homes and home maker services, he said. These played an im- portant part in preventing minor problems developing into major ones. Dr. Wharf based his re- marks on what he termed the “concept of prevention". He said the necessity to deal W! t h constant protection crises relegated prevention to second place. Dr. Wharf said that soc- ial workers must be access- ible in terms of their ap- proach and attitude toward the people and their prob- Iems. "A partnership style of work between consumers and workers sets the tone of the helping relationship," he said. Dr. Wharf said he felt most of the required skills could be learned by CA workers and didn't have to be restricted to graduates of community work sequences. Older Child Adoptions Increase In York Van Camp Tells Meeting The emphasis in adoption for the “older child" conti- nued in York Region through- out the year, with a slight Increase in agency place- ments to 134, Executive Di- rector Donald Van Camp said in his report to the an- nual meeting of the Chil- dren's Aid Society in Aurora last 'week. The third level 6f pre- vention dealt with what the Make Clients Feel Important CAS Told Also, to improve this level of preventive service, follow- up services to determine out- come and user satisfaction, should be instituted, the speaker said. He said the total number of children in care decreased from 252 to 223, While the requests for services to un- married mothers continued at the “newly-established low of 1972,” with little change anticipated in the near future. He said, also that. while the infant population declin- ed, the teenage group in care continued to increase “dra- matically” in number. Mr. Van Camp said the family services department was “overhauled” in 1973, leading to numerous staff changes and some curtail- ment in services. However, rthe agency now had a full complement of social workers, “who. I feel confident. will bring 'a much improved family service to the citizens of York," he said. Mr. Van Camp said that much could be done in 1974 by remembering that teen age problems didn't develop overnight and required long- range treatment. This could be done with the establish- Effective help in seeing that established problems don’t re-occur will not take place unless social workers View their clients as important and do not treat them in a derogatory fashion, nor as invisible, Dr. Brian Wharf, of McMaster University, told the annual meeting of York Region Children’s Aid Society last week in Aurora. The most important characteristics for soc- ial workers were honesty, openess, friendliness and backbone, Dr. Wharf said. Most resented by their clients were workers who “looked down on them,” used a lot of jargon and didn't take time to explain the policies and practises of the agency. SOCIAL CONSCIENCES This “crisis orientation" wasn’t one of the CA's choos- ing. Dr. Wharf said. How- ever. the latter had con- tributed to it through staff- ing and service delivery, and centralizing services in terms of location. These seemed to militate against a service system where the staff he- came intimately familiar with an area and its prob- “Routinlzation is then a defense mechanism which all professionals in the crisis business use to protect them- selves," the speaker said. This could lead to adverse effects, such as clients ex- periencing “some deroga- tion of their worth." If the Grammy Awards were given only to American [performers b e c a u s e they rightfully deserved them, there would be no reason for so many recording artists to client felt was an emerg- ency and what the CA often dealt with as a routine oc- curence. The theme to this year's Grammy Awards seemed to be one of nationality instead of talent. Every majOr music award (except the Best Score For Motion Picture) was won by Americans. In a matter of fact, of the 75 nominees se- lected in the major categories of music for awards, only 3 people were not Americans. These were Anne Murray. Elton John, and' Paul Mc- Cartney who himself was the only non-American to win a Grammy Award. McCartney, along with a producer, George Martin, won an award for writing the music score to the James Bond' movie “Live And Let Die”. men-t of a treatment facility to “‘better cope with the ex- ploding numbers of problem teenage children," and 'by developing an innovative faâ€" mily services program, mak- ing (the services of the agency more accessible to people; by improving inter-agency com- munication and ‘by experi- menting with shared-space and inter-agency team ap- proaches to the problems of service delivery. A breakdown of the finan- cial statement for the year showed that, for every d‘ol- lar spent. 50 cents went for direct child care cost; 31 cents for other specific costs and protection services; and 19 cents for administration costs The meeting also paid tri- bute to Mrs. Ellen Smith, Richmond Hill, a member of the board of directOI‘S. who will \be moving to Toronto with her family. her husband, Dr. Robert Smith, having ac- cepted the position of senior minister at Eglimon United Church The board received 68 cents from the provincial go- vernmenrt and 32 cents from the region for every dollar, or a total of $547,203 from the formek and $259,783 frOm the latter. In the treasurer’s report. submitted by Mrs. Margaret Atkinson. it showed that the Society ended the year with a deficit of $4,108, or .99 per- cent of the total budget. None of the York Regional Council representatives â€" Mayor Margaret Britnell, King; Mayor William Lazen- by. Richmond Hill; Council- lors Harry Crisp. Markham; and Robert Pollock, Georgina Township, attended the meet- «Mrs. Atkinson said the de- ficit could be attributed to the great increase in the number of children between the ages of 11 and 15 brought into care Named to the Society's board of directors for lthree- year terms were: Mrs. Atkin- son, Newmarket; Mrs. Shir- ley Cruikshank, Wood‘bridge; Mrs. Terry Farquh'arson. Oak Ridges; Murray Smith. Newmarket; and Dr. Harvey Socoi, Richmond Hill. James Sellis, G e o r g i n a Township, was named to a one-year term. ROCK TALK By PAUL JONES The Mickey Mouse Awards (Formeriy The Grammy Awards) Also, the agencies had been staffed with “one brand of professional and demanded that the non-pro- fessional pattern himself after the preferred social work model." This limited the possibility of having a variety of views on services and organizational structures. Prevention at all levels is a CAS responsibility. Dr. Wharf said. And while the CAS shouldn't assume total responsibility, it could play a leadership role in docu- menting and forcefully com- municating the need for new and more adequate in- stitutional provisions. “I think we have come a long way, but perhaps not far enough. in recognizing that if the CAS does not or- ganize itself to contribute on the basis of knowledge and the contacts it alone pos- sesses, the community will never be ready to develop the required resources," Dr. Wharf said. It could also assist con- sumers to develop effective resources at the secondary level and improve its third line prevention services. He said also, that what was needed was children’s aid societies with “highly- developed social consciences. and a capacity to be self crit- ical and to tolerate.~ even welcome, criticism from a wide variety of resources." lems showed any decent form of flhe Award's. But as any fol- lower of pop music can see. the Americans are only part of the music industry. Pro- bably the main reason why the Awards are won only by Americans is that United States controls the major financial proportion of the music industry. Because of political scheming and of re- cord companies buym‘ng up block votes for their own artists, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Scien- ces has tended to give some of hhe awards to artists who never Should have been mo- vminated in [the first place. It would be unfair to deny Stevie Wonder the recogni- tion he deserves for his no- table contribution to pop music. and in particular, to the field of rhythm and blues. He most certainly de- served the *Best Male Vocal Performance Award in the Rhythm and Blues category. but the other three awards he won are not really justi- fiable. As for the poorly se-‘ lected nominees in the Album Of The Year category. the only album which at all showed any decent from of intelligent lyrics, adequate arrangements and production ‘ ‘was “There Goes Rhymin' Simon” by Paul Simon. But strangely enough the winner was a less significant produc- tion called “Innerv'iSions” by Stevie Wonder. In the Best Male Vocal Performance ca- tegory in the field of Pop. Rock and Folk, Paul Simon again should have won al- though Stevie Wonder did. In this category. single songs "And I Love You" by Perry Como. “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" by Jim C r o c e, "Daniel" by Elton John, “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life” by Stevie Wonder and the entire album “There Goes 'Rhymiin’ Simon" by Paul Simon were nominated. Seld‘om is an album nomi- nated to a category where singles are the nominees. But in this case, where it is, how can you giVe the Award to a simple love song (“You Are The Sunshine Of My Life") when an entire album, super- bly written and produced) by probably the ‘best writer in Pop Music in North America. is in the same category? of her poorly selected lack- lustre opponents. In 1975, the Grammy Awards or should I say the ‘Mickey Mouse Awards' could hardly show as much ignorance as they have shown this year in their selections of the top music awards. I suppose the only realistic way to calcu- late what is considered (me best is to allow only the mu- sicians and the publica (me option to vote. But even so. one must remember that it isn't truly possible, after considering the enormous number of selections, to cal- culate what is truly best and! what is truly not. It's a wonder that someone of Paul Simon's superior mu- sical talent would even allow his presence to be seen at such a mickey mouse' opera- tion as the Grammy Awards. This could well be the reason why the Beatles minus Paul, when nominated in the past. had never bothered to attend the Grammys. Even in the category, Best New Artists, such perform- ers as The Pointer Sisters and Steelers Wheel were 'not even nominated. As you well lmow Bette Midler won this Award. if not because of her lusty dharacter but because “DEDICATED to CLEAN LIVING" because we buy big for 180 Firestone Stores!
