THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES ORS•70•27 elintorLNews-Record, Thursday, May 11,1972--3A Do not leave children unattended C'aution$ CAS Pietistic Christianity used to have a church process which was called a "testimony meeting". People would stand up and tell about something the "Lord had done to them or for them." There were alWays those worn-out old tales by the same worn out old saints about how the Lord had touched their lives and saved them long, long years before. Youth were particularly vulnerable to the peer-pressures, and would either have to make up something to say or feel guilty and rejected if they could not tell of anything "the Lord had done to or for them". And, as a process of confession and celebration, the testimony meeting might serve as a great witness. However, there are emotionally moving experiences in paganism and nationalism, in secular activities and theater presentations. Even speaking "in tongues" is not unique to the Christian religion, and is sometimes found in religious groups opposed to the Christian word. The old fashioned concepts of the "testimony meeting" -has serious psychological clangers which outweigh any value when it A good attendance of residents, along with six volunteers from, Goderich, at Monday's program of old tyme music, dancing, and sing-song, made the afternoon quite worthwhile. Music for the occasion was provided by Mary Taylor, Norman Speir, and Jerry Collins, accompdnied by Alice floorda. By the way, we could use some help with the music on Monday afternoons, The Bluewater unit of C.N.I.B, held their May get-together in the auditorium at Huronview on Tuesday evening. The residents were invited to attend the program which included slides of Africa shown by Dr. Lambert of Goderich. Dr. Lambert, his wife and family spent part of his internship at the United Church Hospital in Africa and his pictures and commentary were greatly appreciated by the audience. "Hqw old does a baby-sitter have to be?" "How old do my children have to be before I can leave them without a baby-sitter?" Children's Aid Society Workers, Public Health Nurses, and Social and Family Service field staff, are asked these questions repeatedly and complaints about children being left unattended frequently come to the attention of the Children's Aid Society, The provincial Child Welfare Act states "Any person having the care, custody, control or charge of a child under the age of ten years who leaves the child unattended for an unreasonable length of time without reasonable provision for the supervision and safety of the child is guilty of an offence and on summary conviction before a judge is liable to a fine of not more than $100 and, for any subsequent offence, to a fine of not more than $200, or imprisonment for a term of not more than one year", "Our Society received a flurry of complaints concerning unattended children in recent weeks", noted Mrs. E. Ross, who handles investigations concerning children in their own homes. "While some of the complaints did not warrant ongoing contact with the family, several investigations revealed a history of children being left unattended for long periods of time, or left with babysitters who in turn left children unattended or whose competence had to be questioned." "It is so easy, under the best of circumstances, for a child to endanger himself even when a parent is in the home, let alone when the child is left unsupervised." If a parent has flagrantly failed to provide for supervision of his child under ten years while out of the home, and the child in the parent's absence were to be injured or even die, charges could be laid before the court. A parent would have to answer whether the child had been left unattended for an unreasonable length of time and reasonable provision for the safety and supervision of the child had been made. Some people presume that as long as there is a child ten years of age In the twine, they have made adequate provision for younger children's safety and supervision. This would be highly questionable if the ten year old were to be expected to watch several other children for a long period of time. In all likelihood the ten year old could be—or should be—sound asleep and could not be expected to assume responsibility for younger sleeping children in the case of a sudden emergency, "In some situations, we have found that a parent has left a severely retarded adult or an aged senile grandparent to care for children for a whole day or longer", commented Mrs. Ross. "U the Children's Aid Society is advised that a child under ten is being left unattended, we are obliged to visit the home and inform the parent that we have received such a complaint, and in turn make certain that the child is not in need of protection. We can not reveal the name of the complainant but can only inform the parent that someone is concerned about his child's safety. In most cases it is a friend, relative or neighbour who does not want to get the parent into trouble but yet feels a warning of some kind is in order. In many situations, the parent needs some assistance in making provision for babysitting or other care. We are noticing too more complaints involving the working single parent who is separated or divorced, and who does not have close friends or relatives to whom he can turn for help with his children. While we admire the efforts of such a parent to continue working, there is still a responsibility to make adequate provision for the care of his child. For these situations, we are hopeful daycare centres or foster day care will be developed in the County to assist such parents. Television stations often insert a short flash message at the end of a show, "Do youknow where your children are?" While message was designed to question parental responsibility for children out of the home in the evening, it could equally be asked by the parent out of his home. "Do you know with whom and in what circumstances your children are" in your own home? ik (IMAM) ** :::::::::: .. •••••••.„ " • • 11. MR. AND MRS. R. J.

It retards maturity by undercutting the sense of individual responsibility, and it distorts the awareness of the Christian. life- style as a process rather than an experience, (For reference. see Luke 9;28-36; I Cor. 9:27; Phil. 3:12; Hebrews 6:1: Acts 1:11). It often creates an infantile dependency rather than freedom. It drives as many people away from Church as it brings in. But, there is one dimension of the testimony meeting which is worthy of mature, enlightened involvement, Let's quit talking about "what the Lord has done for us", He died for us. Let's talk about what we have done -for Him . The tendency to look back to some particular experience is to be unfaithful to the meaning of that experience. To insist that a baby always remain small, cute and childish is to want retardation. To think the novelty of a new job must always motivate us is to jump from job to job and never realize any enduring growth. And God help a marriage which thinks it must constantly recreate the romantic aura of a wedding ceremony. hat's new at Haronview? 1111111111111111111Mag in The general meeting of Brucefield U.C.W. was held May 2 in the Oddfellows Hall.
