Some felt it was not the, ser- ious problem the news media made it out to be. A few sug- gested changes in the law to 40 reduce penalties for using drugs while some suggested getting to the source of the problem, though they did not state what, they felt the source to be. Explanations for drug taking tended to centre on the break- ,,,, down of parental disciplines, lack ^ of initiative among youth and the lack o f community recreation facilities. In the area of low rental -housing 46 per cent felt there was ' a need for government subsi- dized low rental in the com- munity, 47 per cent said no and seven per cent did not know. Opinion almost split on the need for more recreational ser- vices in the community. Forty- eight per, cent said yes while 48 per cent said no, leaving 6% undecided. Among those who expressed a need for more recreational facilities the commonest opinion was that school and church build- ings should be used to their fullest capacity. -Other com- ments stressed the need for bet- ter physical fitness programs 0 and less emphasis on spectator and or commercial sports. Regarding crime prevention and services to the offender 71 per cent were generally satis- fied with the law enforcement in their community. Twenty-one per cent were not and eight per cent said they didn't know. Though most respondents in- dicated their satisfaction with law enforcement most comments stressed stiffer penalties for of- fenders, coupled with aneed for more training, for police officers.. Some favored having the 0. P.P. rather than a local police force. Many stressed the need for support of police by the courts and fairness in the enfor- cement of law. Some especially emphasized the need for closer support between police and young people. e Sixty per cent favored the present system and probation,,, 20 per cent did not and 20 per cent did not know. 'Fifty-eight per cent supported the parole system, 20 per cent said no and 22 per cent did not know. Only 2f per cent of those in- terviewed .felt the public was '0 sufficiently well informed of available services to locate help when it is needed. Seventy- nine per cent said no. Eighty- eight per cent said public relat- ions work should be done to make people more aware of the services. The replies to these two questions indicated a serious need to inform the public re- garding the services that are available through both County and Provincial jurisdiction, the report said. • "Respondents suggest var- ious ways, the news media, spec- ial news letters, speakers at church and service clubs, etc. This task could probably be related to the work of co-ordin- ating volunteers which appears also to be a recognized need," the report also said. = A large positive response to a question suggesting a direc- tory of all services (95 per cent in favor) resulted in the committee preparing the direc- tory' mentioned earlier!'‘.0 In conclusion the respondents were asked which social service needs should have priority. Each respondent listed more than one, but the need stated most frequently was counselling. In some instances it referred to family, in others to youth, in some to financial and budget counselling. The abuse of drugs and alcohol' were also referred to in particular as counselling opportunities. The second priority seemed to be the need of senior citizens. Health, recreation, housing and the general needs of elderly 0 people were stated frequently. Strong priority was given, in general, to drugs and alcohol and to health needs of families with specific reference to Home Care and Psychiatric services. Improved recreation facilities also received strong support. A large number of respon- dents gave high priority to the needs of children, with particular reference to Day Care and Nursery facilities. When asked if they could suggest ways in which those needs could be implemented the majority seemed to recommend increasing the prof- essional staff of existing agen- cies to implement the improve- ments. There was a fairly strong emphasis, however, on request- ing financial support from volun- teer groups' such as service clubs. • Regarding counselling needs, recommendations-Included im- proving school counselling, es- tablishing a Family Service Bureau or similar agency, utiliz- ing Children's Aid Society ties, expecting more leadership from clergy and churches and. enlarging ,Mental Health services. In releasing- the report Mr. Heath, the present S.S.C.C. chairmen and Huron County Children's Aid Director, noted that some of the findings were ",Very surprising," while others were to be expected. He termed the report a needed piece of work and indi- cated that the S.S.C.C. would now be reviewing ways to put more of Its findings into action. 0 4' 40 4 4 14,--THE HURON Exeogy WOWS Of 4400Staite Community honors bride at Release Huron •.social service study details fi Correspondent Miss Mary McIlwain Many ladies in the community attended a trouseau tea, Mrs. John Thompson gave in honour Of her daughter Betty last Thurs- day.

Trie report of the Soda Ser" vices Co-ordinating Committee on their 1972 survey of health and social services in Hum County, conducted in the spring of this year, was made public late last week by S.S.C.C. chair- man Bruce Heath. The survey was undertaken under the auspices of the corn.: mittee with funding provided by the Local Initiatives Program of the Federal Government. Under the chairmanship of Basil Hall the3 group decided to undertake a survey and dele'gated respon- sibility for the project to the sub committee of William Carter,' Huron County Board of Educat- ion, Basil Hall, Goderich Psy- chiatric Hospital, Marvin Stretch, MiniStry of Community and Social Services and Garwood Russell, St. George's Anglican Church in Goderich. The survey staff members were, Isobel MacDonald, direc- tor, ristine Rompf, secretary with e viewers Susan Bell, Kathleen MacDonald and Arthur Maybury. ' In addition to the report a directory of Social Services in Huron grew from the survey and copies have been widely dis- tributed. In the preface to the report the ,committee notes, "While it is apparent that this report is limited in scope, it is ourhope that it expressed the mind of those who are working -with people in various professional, voluntary or elected capacities." They also note that with the release of the 'report they hope to stimulate more communicat- ion and co-operation among the existing social service agencies and the people of Huron County, and co-ordination of present helping services in the County. The survey did not take a random sampling of the populat- ion but was largely cenfined to people who, in a professional, voluntary or elected capacity, were involved with community or social service matters. Respondents, with a few ex- ceptions were selected for in- terview. Those not selected were volunteers and the inter- views were carried out by appointment. The final result represents the responses of 963 people in the ceunty. Each was asked a series of , questions relating to the broad area of social ser- vices and the needs of Hurdfi residents. Replies were then coded and grouped into sixteen major sec- tions. The respondents were also categorized by occupation arid by eight geographical areas. "The 963 answers were as varied as the individuals inter- viewed," the report explains. "Most of the needs were directly related to the profession of the person interviewed, and included needs such as emotional, social,, personal, spiritual, financial, medical, legal, educational, in- tellectual, recreational, etc." The respondents werectiassi- fled into nine occupation groups as follows. Business and Industry - 303, Clergy - 81, Elected representatives and appointed personnel - 37, Legal - 28, Medical - '77, Recipients - 33, Social Worker - 43, Stu- Correspondent Mrs. C.

The sub group total represents 47 respondents who represented service club and community groups. Question number one dealt with the S.S.C.C. Itself and asked if the respondent' was aware of its existence. Only 33 percent said they were. when' asked what they felt the committee had accomplished to date those who understood its objectives considered it an e xellent start toward communi- cations and co-operations of the social service- agencies of Huron. Asked if there was a need in the County for any type of additional counselling service 81 per cent replied in the affir- mative for family counselling, 76 per cent for marital counselling and 81 per cent for budget coun- selling. More than one respondent in the business world suggested that retired bankers and businessmen might be very good at budget counselling and that they might be willing to do this as a per- sonal service. Recognizing that there may be a need for counselling however 34 per cent felt few would accept any, 15 per cent said that half would, 22 per cent suggested most would and 29 per cent said they didn't know. Respondents were also asked if most of the existing agencies and institutions such as churches, service clubs and industry should be asked to help fund counselling services. Sixty-four per cent The Egmondville II 4-H Club The Super Chefs completed their club and Achievement Day was held at the SDHS onSaturday. It was attended by several of the mothers. _of the girls. Debbie Rose was the commentator. Rev. Clifford Britton, Hen- salt, addressed the' Twilite Unit U.C.W. Egmondville United Church. His topic was the Van Egmond Foundation. said yes, 34 per cent said no and two per cent were unsure. In general respondents stressed the need for_Day Care for the children of working mothers. Some stressed the need for child development pro- grams, others emphasized only the baby sitting need. The comments made it clear that to many there is no need for Day Care, and in fact, there is considerable emphasis on Women staying ome with child- ren. "One c n probably con- clude," the re ort notes, "that there is still a -e,ng opposition to working mo nerally throughout the Coun . This was no less noticeable in towns." Asked if the Government should finance Day Care centres 54 per cent said yes 42 per cent said no and four per cent said partially. Some said the working mothers should pay part or all. of the Day care costs. It is also interesting to note that 75 per cent felt children who would have attended Day Care centres would have a head start when they started to school; 24 per cent said no and two per cent did not know. ' Do you see a need for a drop in centre in your community?" the survey asked. Fifty-five per cent said yes, 43 per cent no and two per cent were undecided. An overwhelming majority of the respondents suggested that if youth programs such as a Drop In were established they should be initiated and supervised by adults. While many suggest that young people can initiate, they generally add that adult help is needed in supervision. A few respondents suggest that young people can both initiate and supervise. A wide variety of agencies, clubs and professional persons were suggested as suitable spon- sors or supervisors . In general there was a lack of support for a program entirely in the control of young people, the survey showed. Sixty-one percent said coun- selling should be part of a Drop In Centre's program. Twenty- eight per cent were against that and 11 per cent were unsure. The survey _also asked if the community was visited by enough travelling youth to warrant a youth hostel. Seventy-five per cent said no, 18 per cent yes and seven per cent did not know. In discussing single parents only 45 per cent said there was a need for some sort of program ,for one parent families . Fifty one per cent said no and four per cent did not know, The needs of senior citizens were broken down into two areas, '3'6Cli1' and material, 'arid xes= pondents asked what needs were not being met. In the material area 12 per cent said money, 13 per cent housing, 10 per cent transportation, two percent for both home care and meals on wheels, and one percent for proper nutrition, health nursing and help with house work. On the social side 17 per cent said visits, 15 per cent said senior citizens homes,, 10 per cent recreation programs, four and one half per cent said com- munity involvement, two per cent said to feel needed, entertain- ment and trips, while one per cent said_eounselling, contact with youth -Ind one-half per cent sug- gested telephone mile. Some general suggestions re- garding senior citizens were interesting. one noted that public school children .could be encouraged 'to adopt a senior citizen as a kind of grandparent , and do small favors for him or her. This, it was suggested, would have a re- ciprocal value to the child's growth and understanding. A Drop In type centre for senior citizens. Through the Elderly Persons Centres Act, financial assistance could be procured. Respondents were asked if Huronview was meeting the needs of senior Citizens who live there. Seventy-five per cent said it was, only two per cent said no buto 28% did not feel they knew enough about it to answer. Most respondents noted that Huronview should "carry on as they're going," th e report said. It also noted that many felt it was the finest such home ever run across." When asked if there are new areas in which the Huron County Health Unit could be effectively working 14 per cent suggested health counselling, 12 per cent drug abuse, 11 per cent suggested geriatric programming, 10 per cent said dental care, 10 per cent more school nurses, seven per cent home visits, six per cent -stricter sahitary inspec- tions, five per cent each for pollution control and V.D. clinics, three per cent for family planning, co-operation and public relations and the remaining 11 per cent pointed to miscellaneous matters. There was also an indication of strong support for supplements to the Health Unit. Eighty per cent supported Victorian Order of Nurses, 82 per cent visiting homemakers and 85 per cent home , care. Asked if enough was being done to resolve the drug problem only 21 per cent said yes while 79 per Cent said no. Replies regarding what could be further done to resolve the drug problem generally stressed educational efforts and strict law enforcement.
