endorses national health week playing asit does a leading role in canadas year- round crusade for health the canadian medical association is pleased to join with the health league of canada in commending to all canadians the spirit of national health week national health- week brings into clear focus the importance of good health and spotlights the need for greater effort by each of us to secure and ensure in dividual and community health what do we mean by health health is a state of complete physical mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease in the achievement of this state we should seek for ourselves and our fellow canadians adequate nutrition good housing and healthful environmental conditions generally and fa cilities for education exercise and leisure if we would help ourselves to the gift of good health we must accept responsibility for the wise and sensible conduct of our daytoday lives learning and applying to all our activities the sound rules of nutri tion immunization accident prevention and physical and mental hygiene j6elyirsr whitchurch offer just no municipality wishes to give away its assess ment were the words expressed by the whitchurch township reeve in discussing the proposed annexation of township land by stouffville the township in out- opinion has made a reasonable offer as the price for support of the annexation to stouffville stouffville is badly in need of industrial and com mercial assessment and with the exception of a few small areas which have been available for years there are too few good industrial sites the sewerage system now being installed should provide a real drawing card to get industry to locate here whitchurch in giving up the assessment along our north boundary has asked that should any develop ment take place west of the proposed area of annexa tion that this development be given the opportunity to purchase the much needed services of water and sewers from the town they have also asked that that portion of the 9th con be kept up to the new boundaries of the town this later request is negligible and should receive no argument from the town council it is in stouffvilles interest to have wellkept approach roads into town from all directions and the small section involved should receive no quibble from town at the same time as the whitchurch annexation is being formulated an eye should be given lo the corner of markham township bordered by the 9th con and the highway so that the stouffville municipal boundaries could be straightenedin this direction the suggestion that markham township be approached regarding annexation of this corner area was recom mended by the metro planning board a year ago whether or not both annexations could be handled by the municipal board at one time at a saving in cost we do not know but it should definitely be inves tigated a majority of the property owners in this markham corner are anxious to have the area annexed we have been given to understand in our mail box juvenile delinquency several years aco a lady asked me to visit her 19yearold boy who was in jail awaiting sentence on a charge of car theft she said he was lonely and discouraged you will find him shy and not easy to get acquainted with i found him much as she had said he seemed frightened and resentful and as his mother had said not too bright in many ways i gave him some chocolate bars and gradually he thawed out and was grateful and somewhat less resentful he made no excuse for his conduct and i gathered he had often been in trouble soon after he was given a stiff sentence of several years as he and his companions had guns and society had to be protected his was not a new story but i found myself perplexed and bewildered the one hopeful thing is that many of the best minds in the country are deeply concerned over juvenile delinquency and practical ways of help rare being tried on my last visit to england i spoke to a group of 600 children in a school in the east end of london it was at that time a sordid district and the pastor of the church who had been 27 years there told me that the record showed that every fourth child got into trouble with the police it is the record of this area said the pastor for over a century i once read a book by the psychologist dr addington bruce too lengthy even to summarize here but i laid ft down feeling grateful that so many wise and good people are sympathetic especially where as the lady said about her boy some are not too bright one may read the newspaper accounts of young peoples conduct but they are not wholly to blame environment and careless home training and other factors are to be taken into consideration one writer says that solomon would have taken little notice of a child whereas today we are all disposed to do what jesus did when he put a little child in the midst of them probably the church has made no discovery in modern years greater than the tremendous significance of little children pure milk for babies supervised playgrounds better schools and a larger place in church life all indicate anxiety on the part of adults to safeguard the citizen of tomorrow a century ago there were no state schools and juvenile delinquencywas much more pronounced than today children were sent to work at a very early age and were often brutally treated here is a

is much to be preferred to you must come to your dinner at once in a tone which implies just dare resist me and you will soon find out what will happen to you the friendly approach often works wonders
