B, Harkness Urges Rotarians to Back Preven- tion Work Along Health and Social Service Lines-- Refers to Need of Experi- enced Relief Officer Here --Praise for Oshawa's M. O. H. That * social organization is be- coming more and more a funda- mental and necessary factor for the betterment rand advancement of a community was the keynote of an | illuminating address by Judge I. B. Harkness, Educational Secretary of the Social Service Council of On- tario, at the Rotary luncheon today, Judge Harkness spoke of his close relationship with Rotary at Winni peg where he had been one of the first members, and concurred with Mr, James Blythe, who had spoken briefly on the Chamber of Commerce | in his' high regard for the Rotary Clubs and their werk, Earlier Concepts Changed The thinking of a community is broadened as social service becomes known and appreciated, Earlier con- | cepts of this service linked it with | moral and social reform, dealing | more with the behavior of the peo- | ple. That conception is now obso- lete, and the approach of the social service worker is more from the angle of a student and a consultant, It was more or less divided into three parts, the first as the study of a number of eommunities, with the first study one of the eity's atmos- phere and spirit, and then the study of the evidences of social work in the community, and the methods em- ployed in furthering that work. In speaking of soeial organiza- tion, Judge Harkness said that the word "social'" had been greetly overworked, in the sense in which he was using it, it related to the organized relationships of human beings. From that point was social, Three Divisions The problems that grew out of poverty and bad behaviour were all inter-related. Behaviour of- ten rested upon poverty, mal-nu- trition and other factors, and so on, When dealing with the treat- ment of poverty, it was done through relief of disease through health organizations and bad be- haviour wag punished by corree- tive institutions, as courts and prisons. Social problems were never merely problems for the individu- al, but must be treated as an in- tegral part of the community as what affected one part, communi- cated itself to the whole. The treatment of these social problems was one that was connected with history. In the early days, punish- ment was considered the only rem- edy, and the only one applied. The punishment stage had been relega- ted to the dust-heap gs far as pov- erty and diseased members of the community were concerned, but still survived in the treatment of offenders against law and order. Preventive Work Best We were entering the curative stage, the judge declaréd, and the challenge of suffering was being met in a new manner. The proven- tive approach to these problems was now the appeal to the intelli- gence of the people rather than that of an appeal to the emotions. tion of the whole and was linked up with the social service work. It was their job now to salvage but in the future, there would not be the number going astray. There were only mine full-time Medical Officers of Health in On- tario, and Judge Harkness paid a special tribute to the high opin- ion held by his comfreres, of the Oshawa M.O.H, Dr. T.W.G. Mac- Kay, declaring that he was one of the finest spirits in the health field.

E. N, SINCLAIR, K.C., 5.0.0, Who is a strong, supporter of the Chamber of Commerce, In an interview today with The Oshawa Daily Times he said: "As a citizen for almost thirty years, I have watched Oshawa grow and have, during that time participated in its activities as far as my opportuni- ties would permit, Year by year changes have taken place, but re- 1 cently the development has become so rapid, that the ordinary means of di.eeting aflairs are hardly ade- quate to meet the unusual situa- tion. The Chamber of Commerce i3 now being organized at an oppor- tune time, Leaders have volun- teered their services to aid in its management, The citizens of Osh- awa, as far as possible, should support the organization, if it is to render that service to the immedi ate development of Oshawa, now so necessary. The time is opportune for every public-spirited citizen to do his share, By becoming a mem- ber of the Chamber of Commerre, a practical contribution will be made, and the contributor will thereby become a shareholder in the development of a greater Osh- awa. With the co-operation of the public-spirited citizens of this City, ihe Chamber of Commerce wiil ren- der a community service to ihe City at a time when so many great problems require to be solved in a proper and permanent manner." health field, the judge said that he was not speaking in a spirit of criticism but from the point of view of one who knew that the city had grown too rapidly for all its buildings and organizations to keep pace. The relief work in the city was not adequate ' and a fully qualified relief officer was needed. In concluding, Judge Harkness said that if baskets of food and supplies of fuel, were given the poor, and not followed up with some helpful and character build- ing service, that assistance was a failure, Speaking of the health work in Oshawa, the judge also said that he thought it had not kept pace with the rapid strides by the Motor City in industry and commerce, James A. Blythe spoke briefly on the Chamber of Commerce, He spoke of the remarkable showing of the collegiate boys in the ques- tionnaire and the significant fact that 150 of them had said that they would look for employment out of Oshawa. He said there seem- ed to be a general apathy among the smaller business men toward the Chamber of Commerce move- ment, He 'again propounded the question "is there anything too good for Oshawa?" and said that if the Rotary Club backed and put over the idea of the Chamber of Commerce, at a later date they would consider it a major achieve- ment. Judge Harkness was introduced by Rotarian A. R. Alloway, and the appreciation of the club was expressed by the president, and thousand dollars.
