The hearing was to continue this afternoon at city hall when another 22 briefs were to be heard. Some of the more vigorous proposals favored establishment of a department of youth, a youth bureau here, counselling services for families and juven- iles and the co-ordination of youth services. MAJOR REPORT One major report was from the jjuvenile and family court Judge F. S. Ebbs, who stressed that proper 'detention facilities for both boys and girls pending disposition of charges brought before court" were needed. He came out strongly in favor of having the adult and juvenile courts being established separ- ately, something the city has "taken no steps to do." His Honor pointed out that juven- Ues have to wait for adult court to be concluded before they can have cases presented in court. As a result the adult and ju- veniles mingle and "'this is wrong," he added. The juvenile and family court's report also favored a change in legislation, "if need- ed, to hold parents.-financially | responsible for 'damage done by their children". Another recommendation made by the Judge was "'for the jsetting up of a Youth bureau of \the police department to con- icentrate on the problems pre- sented by the increasing juven- ile Population".

UN-CHO KIM, administra- tor of the Pusan, South Korea office of the Canada Save the Children Fund, visited OShawa last Satur- day to renew an old friend- ship with Hans Haagmans, on the right. Mr. Haagmans and Gordon Garrison, left, are Kinsman Club of Osh- awa members whose club has sponsored two Korean children. Mr. Kim and Mr. Haagmans met in Pusan last year when the latter stopped olf on a world tour to one of the children. Mr. Kim said poverty is still a way of life in his homeland, with 11,000 children aban doned last year because their families could not feed them. Oshawa Times phote A text from the Social Plan- ning Council of Oshawa also; backed recommendations for a youth bureau and counselling service for families, The coun- selling service should be for 'families struggling with com- plex social and emotional prob- lems and should be staffed with adequately trained personnel to help them achieve a healthier family life." It also suggested that "additional schools of so- cial work should be set up in On- tario to help satisfy the demand for case workers and recreation- al group workers". MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC A brief from the Children's Aid Society of Ontario County expressed a strong need for a mental health clinic, "We ap- |preciate the services provided by the Mental Health Clinic at the Ontario Hospital in Whit- by, but we feel that Oshawa needs a clinic of its own to serve parents and youth. This society has a difficult time obtaining psychological and _ psychiatric assessments for the children in its care. This makes it diffi- cult to plan appropriately for their needs," the report said, it added: 'Separation of chil- dren from their parents could sometimes be prevented if we had psychiatric treatment more ireadily available." A brief from the welfare de- |partment was also leaned to- wards recommendations for a family counselling agency here to be operated by provincial and (municipal funds. $30,000 SOUGHT mas is not far off was given today by Mrs. Madeline Collins, executive-secretary of the On- Health Association, She said that the annual cam- paign for funds for the associa- tion will begin Tuesday with the sale of TB Christmas Seals.

Eighty-one Boys, Girls Tackle Test With Style -- | Eighty-one boys and girls be- tween the ages of nine and 15 went through a tough track and field test here in winning style. The test was an added feature of regular training involved in a junior track and field program started by Branch 43, Royal Ca- Inadian Legion, several years ----\ago, It was conducted at Alex- jandra Park as a part of the jnine-week regular program. | The introductory test stems jfrom a national junior develop- ment scheme and _ offered a series of standards for regu- lar track and field events. bag the first being the hardest to com- plete and the last the easiest. Fifteen entries in the first test were successful; second, 12; third, eight: fourth, 13; fifth, 19; and sixth, 20. All received crests and a certificate of participa- tion and achievement.
