get off drugs or is it just making them more sophisticated users of drugs We would prefer young people to stop using drugs but if they insist using drugs then it is still better that they are more knowledgeable about drug accidents and complica tions like hepatitis or septicaemia Does it encourage young people to leave home or stay away from home Definitely not It has been par ticularly distressing to find how many young people often under age of have been thrown out of home lock ed out or about whose whereabouts parents and guardians seem totally unconcerned These young people are usually bedded down for the nigh the family informed that they ais under our care and then attempts made to resolve the situation the fal lowing day CostEffectiveness Any pro gram such as the one described here has to be judged on a costeffective ness basis if it wishes to make any claim to being a useful social service as opposed to just a vehicle for the mutual enthusiasm and exuberance of its participants Like any other service with fixed overheads if it is used by one client only it is expensive but if by then it is cheap Given the in creasing work load over a short period potentially bad and expensive situ ations have been thwarted and avoid ed These are intangibles incapable of assessment But if only one per cent of the children involved in informal discussion didnt turn on to hard drugs then that alone would justify the total cost It is also Future Plans This inaugurated as a summer project All those connected with it feel that its worth and value to the Community have already been amply demonstrat ed and that it is serving a real need They wish to see it continue for a fur They also feel it Is imperative that it should be allowed to grow on a constant feedback basis with mini mum organizational structure so that it can shape itself to its role as ft becomes increasingly defined It also medical psychiatric social or political This would probably best be

Conclusion It does not require an especially vivid imagination to realize the potential for engendering anxiety among all sorts of people when an old house is taken over by longhaired casually dressed young people to which all sorts of other hip pie types come and go including young girls some of whom stay all night especially when some are recognized drug addicts let alone what ft does to

accepted and allowed to grow It is thought that any organiz ation medical social or political con cerned with the mounting costs and limited professional resources avail able to deal with youth and its prob lems should seriously consider the experiences described in this paper EXPERIENCE MEANS SOUND ADMINISTRATION REELECT SENECA COOK COUNCILLOR For 19712 For more information phone 8952144
