CARE OF THE VERY YOUNG Victorian Order Nurses Heed Ever-Increasing Calls For Help By JO ALDWINCKLE Last year in Oshawa the Vic- torian Order of Nurses gave care to 298 persons who re- ceived 5,353 visits, an increase of 438 visits aver 1963. 'This marks the 3ist year in which the Victorian Order of Nurses service has been avail- able to the citizens of Oshawa and bedside nursing care to peo- ple ill at home continues to be our primary service," Miss Isa- belle Sorley, nurse in charge stated at the annual meeting. "Ninety-eight per cent of the visits made were to give bed- side nursing: care. Five years ago, in 1959, ninety-one percent of the visits were to give bed- side nursing care, Two per cent of the visits were to give health supervision and nursing care to mothers and new _ babies, just returned from the hospital. Maternity patients receiving visits were those who required visits for medical reasons, ap- proximately one patient in five, or those who felt the need of daily visits by the nurse during the first few days on their own at home." CALLS FOR ALL AGES Visits were made to people of all ages, Miss Sorley said. One in every two of the patients were 70 years of age or over. They received sixty per cent of the visits. Twenty persons received continuous care for more than one year, sixteen of these for more than two years. Of the remainder of the pa- tients, many have received visits periodically from six to eight years. The majority of persons were visited because of a chronic condition. "Supportive care is necessary," Miss Sorley said, "so that they may live as nor- mal a life as possible in their homes. Sometimes a weekly in- jection is given, a bed bath, assistance with walking or treat- ment. The nurses making the visits must keep in mind the principles of rehabilitation nurs- ing and healthful living in order to help the patient and family to as useful and independent a life as possible." NO ONE REFUSED Miss Sorley pointed out that many patients in the older group wers living on a reduced income. At the same time they were faced with the expense of illness. It was the responsi- bility of tne VON Nurse mak- ing the first visit to a family to set the fee, the maximum being $3.50 per visit. Considera- tion was xiven to the income, expenses . and approximate length of time the service would be required. No one was ever refused service because of inability to pay. Assisting Miss Sorley as staff nurses are Mrs. C. F. Litster and Mrs. Joseph Benson with Mrs. H. J. Durant as_ relief nurse. At weekends the Osh- awa Branch shares the work with the Whitby Branch and this plan, started in 1963 is also applied to holidays and night. The Osnawa Branch is super- Pom alive!

This year's financial statement presented by showed a deficit of $2383, but like police and fire protection and public transportation, the VON is a service that Oshawa cannot afford to be without. STUDENTS OBSERVE Observing the operation of these qualified nurses also pro- vides training for students. Dur- ing 1964 two public health nurs- ing students from Toronto Uni- versity, one from Queen's Uni- versity, spent a totai of 54 days with the Oshawa Branch. This was to give the students practical experience in visiting nursing. Three undergraduate nurses from the Nightingale School of Nursing: and three students from the Oshawa General Hos- pital also observed the work of the VON Nurses. This period of jobservation helped them to junderstand the needs 'of pati- ents after discharge from hospi- tal. The Oshawa Branch owns three automobiles and all the nurses drive.

"Who is a delinquent or what constitutes delinquency depends very largely on time, the place and the individual. Actually, delinquency is a legal invention that came into existence with the development of laws." Thus began Mr. William Smith, at- tendance officer with the Board of Education, when speaking to the Vincent Massey Home and School Association recently. He went on to say that age determines whether a person was legally incapable of com- mitting a crime (under eight years of age), a criminal] (adult), or a delinquent (cov- ering the years between). "Apart from murder, youth- ful offences, for the most part, have no counterpart in adult life," he said. "An incorrigible truant child may be adjudged delinquent, but an adult could not be considered a criminal for such acts." Mr. Smith also pointed out that no longer could delinquency be considered a minor issue pecu- liar to certain groups living in undesirable areas, On the con- jtrary, he cited examples throughout the world, both East and West, which proved that in spite of the many welfare pro- grams instituted to elevate the lot of the poorer classes, crime and delinquency were on the in- crease, Even Sweden, with its excellent record of welfare care, was not immune. With society changes, from a rural family-centred type to an urban, industrial, rather im- personal type, becoming more prevalent, delinquency had in- creased, with the control pass- ing from unwritten laws and customs of family, tribal and religious origin, to written laws with the police, the courts and other special institutions enforc- ing them. . CAUSE OF MISBEHAVIOUR "A troublesome child is a troubled child." Mr. Smith emphasized that behaviour was caused, and stated that school offered a good place to detect possible delinquents as their troubles usually showed up in that environment. Every at- tempt must be made to see that a child's physical needs were adequately met for these could cause behaviour problems, but emotional needs were most often the cause. Eveny child had six impor- tant needs emotionally: affec- tion; feeling of belonging; in- dependence (within reason); sense of achievement; approval and recognition from his age- mates and the feeling that he measured up to his own stan- dards. Misbehaviour was usu- ally caused by a combination of factors.

CLASSIFICATIONS OF DELINQUENCY Mr. Smith classified delin- quents in three main groups as follows: 1.-- 'Normal' -- those who came from lower class homes and rundown neighborhoods, re- flecting the attitudes and values there. 2 -- "Emotionally disturbed" -- a very large group, in con- flict with themselves, and hav- ing two main characteristics. (a) a history of unsatisfactory relationships (b) a low opinion of themselves. These children often came from homes where parents quarrelled frequently, did not agree on discipline, expected too much of their children at school, or rejected them, deny- ing them many of the emotional needs mentioned earlier. 3 "Casual" lacked strength to resist great tempta- tions, or to face up to a crisis, and so committed a delinquent act. The group was the only one that might respond to pun- ishment, requiring strengthen- ing and support in their efforts to behave. A child's feeling about his situation were impor- tant, particularly if there was a handicap of some sort involy- ed, His reaction to a handicap or his observance of adverse reactions in others around him to it, might do more damage than the handicap itself, be it physical, mental, or social (be- haviour). CORRECTION AND HELP Mr. Smith explained how at- tendance counsellors tried to help these children. Each child was presumed to have four sets of teachers; home, school, play- mate and community, and a combination of at least three of these would have to co-oper- ate to help, ex¢luding perhaps the playmate teachers. By listening to the parents sympathetically a friendly co- operative spirit could be estab- liyed so that a counsellor could often help them understand the child's difficulties. and view- point, and provided a real link between home and _ school. At school the principal and teachers welcomed the chance Grade four, five years in Grade 5 and six years in Grade 6, difference in mental age and ability and physical maturity between the top and the bottom students, This was in itself a source of many problems. Although a counsellor might not have actual contact with the playmate teachers of a. child he must recognize the impor- tance of their influence and should know in what capacity the child considers himself a member of their group, Seek- ing approval from them often led to deliberate mischief and pinishment would only enhance his position with them. A child's Church, Sunday School, boys or girls group, or sport group leaders all had a significant effect on his life. There were also those who must uphold and enforce the laws and an understanding attitude was of. prime importance in handling delinquent youngsters. "Let us as adults look to our- selves and examine our own attitudes and practices before condemning adolescents for do- ing what they see rather than what they are told is right," he said. "Who of us is 'without sin to cast the first stone'?" concluded Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith was introduced by Mrs. Walter Libby, convener for the evening, and thanked by Mrs. Gerald Hudson, BUSINESS MEETING A short business meeting pre- ceded the address, with Mrs. Gordon Garrison, president, in the chair. The membership chairman reported 68 member- ships sold, and the nominations committee chairman reported that the slate was not yet com- pleted. It was announced that there will be a bake sale March 25, and Mrs. Garrison also men- tioned the convention to take place in Niagara Falls from April 13-15. She also read a warning to parents that air ri- fles were considered a danger- ous weapon and were not a toy to be played with carelessly, and that parents would be liable for damage caused by children misusing them, The next meet- ing is April 12, and is the anual meeting.
