There was a quiet family celebra- . tion in the Home including Lorne ' Nichol and son Ross of Brussels. Mrs. Nichol has been a resident of Kilbarchan for some time, Harold Barry left for Victoria, B.C. last week where 'he will spend the winter. Last year he spent most of the winter at "Schadeview" which proved to be a difficult and memorable experience, owing to the lack of hydro when most of the poles were toppled south to Grand Bend. Anniversaries, of note have been common this October and mostly notable for the number of Years. My anniversary is quite different., It hardly calls for a celebration. On, Oct. 18, I had been at Kilbarchan twelve years. I can't help but think back over these years. I just had to learn to accept the inevitable as gracefully as I could and without question. People have made this possible for me from the staff here and friends who have been so kind and understanding. It has all been an education in a different way and one which I have reason to be glad of. When a person is well and able to be about, they think "It couldn't happen to me" but it does 'happen.

She spoke of the Senior Citizens who are helped when retirement is lonely, It puts one in the unfortunate position of being completely dependent on others, friends, relatives• and those with whom you come in contact. These people have stepped into the breach. It is a test of your own stamina and gives one a better under- standing of people. At this stage, I consider I have much to be thankful for.

The seminar featured. guest speaker Dr. Robert Bates, trician director an,d head Of 'the Child Abuse.Team at the.

Children's Aid Director Bruce Heath explained that there is a high calibre of co-operation among the agencies and schools dealing with child abuse but there still exist gaps from one system to another than should be elosed. He added that in dealing with the cases the relations should be with people and not groups. Discussion centered on the responsibility, of the individual to report possible child. abuse cases 'to the CAS. Dr.. Bates said that if' a doctor neglects to report a child abuse case there still exists -the responsibility among the nursing, staff to report it to the nursing supervisor. Heath said that ..the hospitals in Huron County have -no formal procedure for the reporting and 'follow up of child abuse cases. Dr. Bruce Thomson said that doctors follow a, code of ethics and have a contract with each patient and must respect that contract. ,,,He added that the seminar was beneficial in bringing professional .people and agencies together and he hoped it would foster more involvement among'. the agencies and improve the, correspondence between them. He added that communication between agencies was a big factor and that doctors would not co-operate . with agencies that abused patients. Numerous bad experiences with agencies led to (We breakdown. in, etn7,94P•90ePC4 and co-operaflOtt, ' The point was raised that codes, of ethics between profeSSIOns Otte ere in dealing with child abu cases and hamper the folio p procedntes, CAS family service co-ordinator Esther Ross claimed that most people are simply afraid to report a child abuse case to the CAS or other agencies because of their possible future involvement. "People hold the CAS .as a possible threat hut, we are not as terrible as everyone thinks;" she said. "At times I feel like a dragon with a big heart and no one knows it." A representative of' the public health nurses said that if they were called to investigate- a possible ,child abuse case they were unable to testify in court and 'present potential key evidence. In such instances the public health nurses were at fault in their incapability to provide evidence. Heath said that because of this and other instances in which people are afraid to get involved it will be necessary to use subpoe- nas. He added that although the agency, was almost forced to begin issuing them they would be used with discretion and only when necessary. CAS solicitor, Norm Pickell, supported Heath's statements saying that if the evidence was vital to a case then there existed no alternative but to subpoena witnesses. "Subpoenas will have to be used in other isolated cases if an employer requires proof of an employee's involvement," he said. "We should have an interaction and a faith between groups dealing with .a.:, case because we will get into trouble if we rely on the legal realms." John Siertsema, principal of McCurdy Public School, said that teachers were in a difficult position since they were not qualified to cotriment on a case or give evidence on the medical as PO, He said tl?e' matter was simply out of theleachers' field; 144 'f they rePOrtecl a case to the j pub is health nurse,what is, their reS ,onalbilitr fr-Pin Owe.
