re ij (Continued from Page 9) him in the home motivate his attitudes in school and society. Mr. Smith's third classifica- -' tion is the 'casual deJinquent" - who is normally a hanger-on, or a follower. By definition, hi has not been brought up with a set..of values conspicuously Poggio from the accepted so- oO WEAK PERSONALITIES Mr. Smith defines them as: "Or kids whose person- ality is not strong erough to »face crisis or temptation." If phot, upp recognized early ' is group may never 'become delinquent at all, by the legal definition. , The casual delinquent, Mr. Smith says, requires a strength- _ ening of chacacter, rather than treatment. It ,is the only situa- tion where punishment, speci- fically corporal punishment, has any beneficial effect for the offender. Parents again are likely at the root of the child's prob- lems, he adds, The casual de- » linquent is almost always the ptoduct and victim of a father and mother who insist on "'hid- fing their heads in the sand," and passing off his problems and attitudes as a "stage he is going through." . In all three cases, Mr. Smith "contends, the behavior of the child is the fault by lack of *. interest, lack of dignity, lack « of morals, or lack of intelli- gence on the part of the parents. What are the manifestations of the juvenile delinquent in 'the school system that brings » him to the attention of an attendance counsellor?--"Late- _hess, truancy, opposition to authority, immorality and in- school vandalism," Mr. Smith says: When does the delinquent ¢ show his tendencies, and when is he at his worst?--"Delinquent tendencies become obvious to * teachers early in his school career, es "a YEARS OF CRISES "They reach their most ob- vious period, most overt period, _. and their crises in Grades 7, 8, and 9, and at ages 13, 14 and o 15, If the child can get by these ~ periods . without any serious . preuep*. he.is usually all » Who is more often delinquent, * a boy or a girl? -- "Boys are * most often delinquents, but " when a girl is one, she goes % whole-hog at it." Mr. Smith » cited a test case of a 16-year- ~ old girl who was an_ habitual truant from high school: "Her mother works. She has no father. I can't get in contact with her mother to discuss the problem, and she knows it, This girl has been in juvenile court ' twice for truancy. Often she is called upon to do all the house- work in the home. Then her mother comes home with a series of boyfriends." On the basis of this case Mr. Smith made an overall observa- * tion on working families. He ad- heres to the theory that the child is the victim of the situa- tion in which both parents work, and where this keeps them from bein child. What action can be taken to contro] and reform the juvenile delinquent? -- "The first action taken when a child begins to show tendencies in school is to discuss the matter with his par- ents, then his teacher, and then compare notes with each," Mr. Smith says. "In many, many cases, this is sufficient to straighten out both child and parent: If the tenden- cies persist, the school teacher, principal and I exert discipline. Sometimes this works. JUVENILE COURT "When tendencies become fact, when actual violations under the Juvenile Delinquent Act take place, the offender goes into Juvenile Court. Most of them are placed on proba- tion, which often is deterrent enough, but serious or habitual offences can put the delinquent in a reform school." After the child reaches the age of 16, and becomes an "adult", the attendance officer cannot prosecute for truancy. The only weapon available to the school is suspension. Can most potential and actual juvenile delinquents be rehabil- tated? "Yes they can, through school authorities, guid- ance at home and at school, mental health clinics and through centers like Simcoe Hall Boys' Club. "Once again the home environment plays a large part. Since the boy most of his time at home, it is there his attitudes are developed and strengthened. If the home en- vironment is still bad then any form of rehabilitation is pretty rough. Sometimes the courts have to take the child out of this adverse situation". NO LOCAL PROBLEM Is juvenile delinquency a problem in Oshawa? "No, not compared to other areas. The solid economic structure of this city eliminates a great deal of poverty, and, therefore, much of the environment which encour- ages an spawns the normal delinquent. "But it is always a big prob- lem, if not in size, in vital im- portance to any society." Given the licence to do 60, what steps would you take to improve present standards of dealing with both the prevention and rehabilitation aspects juvenile delinquency? "An education program for parents. They must be taught to deal with their children, and to treat each as an individual. They should be able to decide and enforce discipline. I mean both parents, because discipline is too often left to the mother alone. "We need a youth bureau in at home to counsel the of | ) JUVENILE DELINOUENCY the city to help deal with chil- dren's problems, and we should also have a psychologist on the school staff. A return of the mental health clinic would be an asset," (The juvenile delin- quent spotted in the schools is often referred to a psychiatrist or the out-patient clinic at Whitby's Ontario Hospital). "Our teachers are not as well- versed in the problems and at- society as they should be. They should study a more complete course of child behaviour at teacher's college and augment their knowledge with refresher courses, "Law, a basic concept, and civics should be part of the curriculum in elementary and high schools." STARTED FOUR YEARS AGO Mr, Smith became _attend- ance counsellor in Oshawa's school system four years ago. Previous to that he worked as a counsellor at Simcoe Hall, and nearly 20 years of his life have been devoted to working with children. He abhors the term "truant officer", which conjures up the image of the bogeyman who drags children to school by the scruff of their necks, A married man with a son in Grade 2, Mr. Smith lives on Tennyson avenue Aside from his activities in dealing with truants, he also aids schools in serious disciplin- ary problems, and acts as a one-man employment bureau to help "drop-outs" find decent jobs,.

The latter shares his duties between the Dunnies and the Generals and can play in only one more game for the Generals this year before he has to stay up in 'A' company. Wilson on the other hand has filled in with pleasing results. He has played better than ex- pected and has brought many rounds of praise from both the manager and coach of the Whitby team. He holds at time of writing, the best individual goals against average in the Metro league. Not bad for a young fellow just breaking in to Jr, company. teenagers and adults with Bill Kent doing the honors. Part of the evening's entertainment was a cartoon movie which delighted the young children and a rousing Christmas carol songtime was enjoyed by young and old alike. Arrangements for this 4th annual Christmas Family Party were formulated and carried out tables while streamers, balloons and the traditional tree added colorful touches to the banquet room. Bev. McEwen presided at the piano while Pearl Blakely led in the singing of Grace. The little girls, dressed in their pretty party frocks, and the boys in their fancy suits, all noisily awaited the coming of Santa Claus, Sporadic bulletins read by Bill Kent announced Santa's progress and on his arrival he was greeted by a chorus of Jingle Bells. A gift for each child came from Santa's box along with a bag of candies and a huge balloon. Santa's helpers were Helen Rundle, Phyllis Thorndyke, Lor- raine_Noltie. Santa's box also contaffied a special gift for Bev. McEwen, Ferne Ball and Bud Noltie. Gifts were exchanged by the fully by Helen and Rae Rundle, Phyllis and Ted Thorn- dyke, Lorraine and Bud Noltie. Bill and Helen Mitchener were also on the committee but ill health kept them away from the festivities. Harry and Pearl Blakely did their usual good job on the dinner arrangements. The Blakely's, who are thinking in terms of hitching the trailer up for a sojourn in warmer climes, were the recipients of many good wishes. They are looking for- ward to spending some time with OTTC members Hubert and Eula Chase and former members, Elmer and Hazel Toms. The annual meeting and elec- tion of officers will be held at Woodview clubhouse, Jan. 16. Nominations were accepted for all offices at the November meeting. PLAY EXHIBITION Manager Davie believes that work keeps his players in shape and he has arranged for an exhibition game tonight in Can- nington against the Sutton-Can- nington Twins of the OHA Jr. C league. Mike Taylor who toils with the Dunnies played for the Twins last year and hence the |keen interest in this game. Coach Pat Baker said ten days ago, "Give us four or five weeks and we will be right up at the top." The way they are going he could be right, and we hope he is.
