said People get together with the preconceived idea that nothing can be done NOTOYHRNIUIII You cant expect solutions overnight he said The longterm plan he sug gests involves redefining the role of

too rigid he said Right now we are in the throes of both This individualization or selfishness is evident in at titudes toward family planning today he said What we need in Canada is more than just planning or population for economy We need to strengthen the family after all why should we plan for something if we dont know what it is weare planning for LARGE PART Sex values play large part in family he said Lack of harmony is often result of and cause of sexual identity problems he said His example the girl who has grown up in conflict with her parents might be the one to become pregnant Also husband and wife who feel their sexual life is un satisfactory might carry this disharmony into the total fami cidcnts so why not give driving This would in more teens courses in school result in

While laws often make our values Dr Asiini said institu tions need not be tyranny as Freud says think there can be workable compromise between the needs of the individual and the needs of society Profes sionals have role to play to solve the institutional vacuum existing because of the overindividualization he said In question period Dr Asimi was asked for an ap propriate model for family life in Canada dont think there is an ap propriate model existing But do think there is enough of the Judeohristian thinking left in society to reconstruct our family life Bracebridge minister tells meeting cidents because more teens are driving he said Those concerned with family planning must be concerned with more than just the mechanics hcsaid major flaw with profes sionals concerned with family planning is that they limit solu tions and the problem within their own field and exiwrienccs Doctors nurses ministers and teachers sec family planning from different ptisptwtivts Because everyone is seeking solutions within their own ex perience suggestions conflict Now we have confusion and paralysis in the area of birth control and family planning An example of one solution leading to another is the birth control pill VI INtItICASII The pill has solved some problems But then along came the increase in vcncral disease More young people were becoming sexually active because the threat of pregnan cy was gonc he said As well llt said niarilagc problems have occuicd when thc choice of having the family enters couples relationship He related story about couple who decided when they got married they would have no children Six years later the wife was well on the way to successful career and the bus band wanted children Here we face the problem of whose needs should be met first Life he said is becoming more complex and society can not afford to bumble along as it has been MM HOLLICI INIOMAItItIAGII KENT England itli Nadia Beard of this Birming ham town said her mother

maternity and child program for the ministry of health spoke to about 120 social workers nurses teachers and probation officers from Simcoe and surrounding countries The topic Family planning today It is not the intention of the government to step into the bedrooms of the nation he said Itather we want to en courage the options for those who wish to choose The government provides proportional funding to each health unit to carry out the pro gram The Simcoe County Health Unit is funded 100 per cent and has two family life co ordinators Judy Widdrington IIt MARILYN McTAVISII and Marilyn Wilson Seventyfive per cent of the $2 million program is for staff 20 per cent for rental accommoda tion and supplies and five per cent for professional develop ment LIMIT FAMILIES According to Dr

Seventy per cent had had intercourse at least once unprotected Thirty JACK HARPER eight per cent of girls and 45 per cent of boys considered all methods excepting the pill too much trouble In the past distribution of contraceptives and birth con trol information has been main ly in the large urban areas he said Now we need professionals who have updated information the subjects he said For so long it was considered womens business now we need cooperation between the interdisciplinary profes Sionals Positive results of the pro gram more than 150000 people were reached within the first year of the program he said Im not sure we should take full credit but the abortion rate decreased over 1974 maybe an indication that the provinces program is providing the necessary information RON LAVERNE
