But this time. it is our sincere hope that the Federal Historic Sites and Monu- ments Bard and the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will acquire and develop the property for the benefit of the public and stu- dent anthropologists.

Since Parson's Village is in North York, the borough mayor, controllers and aldermen, some of whom have al- ready expressed interest in the scheme, should start the ball rolling to bring the property under public Ownership. as numerous school _tey3tp. agree that restoration of the site would be of immense educational value for both the young and old. ---The MTRCA could cotnplement Pioneer Village, about tt alt mile north, by reconstructing the Indian village so that weekenders and tour- ists would have a perfect opportunity to compare our pioneer culture with that of the older Indian civilization. --Dr. Fred Minkler, director of the North York board of education, and Charles Proctor, president of the North York historical society as well If this site is buried under a con- crete jungle, it will be a crying shame. given an opportunity to study our In- dian culture soon lose their prejudic- ed ideas of the Indian being 3 savage red man and acquire s new respect for the first North Americans " hu- man beings with I mug ificent his- tory,_eylttTrtttti.disrnitA glk‘heif own.

For example, let u: look first at the glori- 'ied portrait of Philip Eck. hart", painted posthumously by his grandson and new usurping Bercry's position in Miss Fitrgeratd's slory. Philip Eckhardt, like many others, became in the eyes of his worthy grandson a color- ful superman, whose geneal- ogy had to be different from other ordinary Markham pion- earl at German descent. The truth is that Philip Eckhardt's name appear; together with Horny etc., on the official Philadelphia harbor list of landad Immigrants trom the ship "Catherirta", dated Aug. ust 3, 1792, which printed list is quoted in my book, note M. leruy'a vary thorough rs. aorda, preserved in the Na- tional Archives in Ottawa, leave no doubt who built tha German Mills.

Instead, Miss Fitzgerald' re- ports what somebody inst guessed over a century ago: "Barn . . . in Saxony, in 1748." 0r, Beruy "was thrown in iail" in the Genesee, which wrong statement you back to Simcoe's correspondence. Sim- coe had picked up the rumor probably trom Mr. Powell, who in turn has confused the iailin‘ of Berczy's peasants with the leader himself, who in tut was out of sight in New York when Captain Wil. liamson arrested his settlers. More important to note is this distortion: "Beruy took his cue to England without success," whereas the truth is that the imperial Government advised the Executive Council of Upper Canada to ra-grant Berczy the 64,000 acres, with the condition that the local council find "hit allagations to be substantially true" (which they were). Briefly, Bererr's famous: "tailure," bankruptcy, and debts were simply caused by the brutal otrtfisotiort at his Markham development by his compati- ton, the Governmental land speculators, and not by Ber. cxy's Irtee"rtpetertee. Danny was a master also in financial iuggling, and had for a while his debt; nicely covered by wealthy Montreal merchants. According to Berery's detailed list; already in 1802 Markham Township contained over 700 people, u. when the great in. flux at Mennonites and othera barely had started.

Sure much of the problem here stems back to the parents who, most agree, should freely converse with their youngsters about sexual relations and answer frank questions with frank answer; The result is that today‘s teenagers with their eye make- up, padded bras and "sexy" ears consider these the most important things in life and quite naturally their curiosi- ties are tempted to go the step further that they are totally equipped to handle. Since so many parents are n equal to the task, it seems to that it is high time that our " l system lays out the facts of 1 so that children don't get a istorted picture via the televNon tube and back alley talk. When chikigen reach puber- ty. they should be fully aware of the risks of pregnancy, the [act that sex without proper precautions can make a tragic mess of the most fantastic mir. acle in creation. But many of u! know from our own personal experience and that of many others that perhaps a good hill of all par- ents are incapable of free dia- logue on this Subject because they themselves were brought up when sex was to have child. ren only. In front of me. I have a copy of Family Living and Sex Education -- A guide for Parents and Youth Leaders. It is written by Dr. S. R. Lay- cock and is published for the Canadian He alt h Education Specialists Society, Ottawa. It is really a review of cur- rent literature available on the sex question as it affects child- ren in Canpda and should be stocked in every library.

Again let me stress that many parents are set in their ways and will not exert the effort required to dig up the material listed under these headings to satisfy the healthy curiosities of youngsters. Since many facts about sex are fun. damental and basic to all hu. man beings, Ontario schools must, I suggest, start teaching all children the beauty and pitfalls to’watch for in male. female relationships. Last year, a mother of two young boys delighted in tel. ling me that the junior high school where her eldest at. tends, was going to launch a meaningful course in sex that would be entirely coeduca- tional and would include films, lectures from area doctors, tours of local hospitals and studies in textbooks on embry- ology. bodily growth, sexual behavior, the meaning of mar. riage and so on. Last month she told me that most of the course was either modified or cancelled because several parents had strong ttb. jections. She said this disap- pointed her and her husband, not just became their child- ren would lose a great deal of liberal education that they might otherwise have attain- ed, but because the 1053 would be [alt by all the children In that junior high school, who have a natural right to a great- er sex education than is offer. ed in the hair spray ads. and the know-it-all drop-outs who hang around on street corners. If schools adopt a liberal sex education. policy for all student age groups, I expect that they will head off many brokmmges and prevent many "unwanted pregnan- cies."
