Churches 'lose' youths Crusade speaker says Rear, Jtm Wilson, a popular youth worker in the city of Hamilton, places some of the blame for juvenile delinquency at the feet of the church, ale though he notes there are many contributing factors to the the crease in the problem. The executive director of Hamilton Youth for Christ, who is the speaker at the week-long Crusade for Christ being staged at the Exeter Arena, uses ures to point out the church is losing the youth of the corn, munity. In a special interview before one of the evening services, he told The T-A that the church provides for children from the age of four, but does not go past the age of 14 except for those who are prepared to continue in the church as adults, He said that 65% of the girls leave the church at the age of 14 and never return, while 75% of the boys are lost at this age and never return, "We must evaluate our pro- gram for youth," he said. Although he admitted he was sorry to have to say it, Rev. Wilson said some ministers are just too busy to look after the needs of the youth of the church. He recommended an innova- tion being conducted in the United States, where some churches have appointed men to be ministers for its youth. However, he noted that any such program had to be carried on in contemporary terms so the youth could understand it. "The truth never changes," the cleric noted, "but the way in which we present it may." He said one of the reasons why youth were being lost from the church was due to the fact they were not ready to under- stand the adult sermons and talks they were being given by ministers.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge. Constable John Wright tea- WWI it was foggy on the night of May 17, but estimated yik- bility at about 2000.11e reported the Lloyd car was coming fro,' the east and went across high- way 4 and travelled some 260' before coming to a stop against a tree. It severed a hydro pole before hitting the tree. Lloyd testified he was travele ling from Seaforth to Zurich and had a passenger, Jim Masse. He claimed they hit a.fog patch which prevented them from seeing the stop sign in time and when he did notice it, his brakes failed causing the car to skid. He testified he was driving about 50 to 60 MPH at the time. Magistrate Hays said the de- fendent was driving far too fast under foggy conditions and if he had been travelling at a speed of 25 would have seen the warn- ing signs that the highway was ahead. In noting it was certainly careless driving, the magis- trate said if innocentpeople had been on the highway that night there might have been serious injury or death involved. on Monday, Rev, Wilson. said. it was harder today than ever before for fora teenager live t9X7 christ as theyfeeedsomany more temptations, trials and tribulations.. FULL PERSON Rev. Wilson, who graduated with a Master of Arts degree from Hob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, said he felt there were four com- ponents which made up a com- plete person, lie listed this as physical, mental, social and spiritual, and noted the latter was the weak link in most youth. Some of his opinions have come from prolonged study as a social worker, as he has spent much time in his position as a Protestant representative in the Hamilton Juvenile and Fancily Court, Some of the contributing fac- tors he has found in the juvenile delinquency problem are broken homes—both physically through the death or separation of a parent, as well as psychological through family problems such as finances, quarreling, etc. He also listed the materialis- tic Spirit of society as another factor, pointing out there were many homes where bothparents worked and no one was home to look after the children. Alcohol and pornography were also included on the list, as he cited examples of wide spread teenage drinking and the filthy books and literature that corrupted their thinking and tempted them. However, he said the heart of the juvenile was the heart of the problem, and said in social work he tried to give juveniles a new start. "This is much better than any punitive measures," he stated. The forceful speaker said social workers attempted to work through court officials and probation officers to give delinquents new heart. "Only through receivi ng Jesus can he have anew start," he added. Rev. Wilson pointed out that someone had to be concerned with youths, and said that in talking to some he found they reported parents did not have time to help and understand them, and many said they did not go to their ministers be- cause they felt they were too busy. In his address to about 200 SUDDEN COMING Also in his address on Men, day, the Hamilton speaker on, derlined the scriptural report that Christ's coming would be sudden and "when you least expect "If he came tonight, would you be ready?" he asked his audience. He quickly concluded that he was sure many wouldn't live the way they did if they thought He was coming. "You wouldn't read the magazines you do „ . or listen to the stories you do ... or practice things in secret the way you do," he stated. The Crusade, which is spon- sored by 14 area churches and the South Huron Youth for Christ, continues tonight and Friday and concludes on Sunday evening with a service at 8:00 p.m. Various church leaders and ministers have been assisting in the services and the choir has been composed of volun- teers. It is being directed by Gordon Hamilton, London.

Wellington Whiteford, Grand Bend, pleaded guilty to the charge laid after he had run into the rear of a car driven by Mrs. Madeline G. Sweitzer, RR 2 Dashwood. The Grand Bend man was attempting to pass as Mrs. Sweitzer was making a turn off highway 81 near the resort and in the collision, damages re- sulted totalling $1,600. OPP Constable Glassford in- vestigated. He also investigated a simi- lar crash when Lorne Lennox, 19, Simcoe County, ran into the rear of a car driven by Mrs. Ingred Baker, RR 3 Ex- eter. Mrs. Baker was making a turn off highway 4 north of Exeter when the crash occurred. Another charge of careless driving resulted in a fine of $20 and costs of $7.50 for Mrs. Ardella Desjardine, Grand Bend. On May 23 she had been following a school bus on high- way 83 and as she started to slow down for the bus, some — Continued from front page intersection, a fair sized tool and repair shed was lifted into the air and dropped down some 30' to 40' from its original loc ati on. The roof and one wall, along with such heavy equipment as a welding machine, tire.rim and sever al chains were tossed through the air in easy fashion. The other wall was sent crashing onto a Volkswagen owned by Lourens Kodde, who works for Knip. The property owner said he was in the house at the time and saw a tree top going past a window. As he looked out, he saw the shed lifted high into the air and carried into the back of the yard. Small debris was carried over 120'. PISTOLMATIC BARN FLATTENED The largest building to be de- stroyed was a 150' x 50' struc- ture on the farm owned by Ellerington Brothers about two miles south of Exeter. It was completely levelled. The barn was formerly the church shed at James Street United Church and had been torn down and rebuilt on the farm. Some of the many steers on the property were in the barn when it was brought down by the wind, but the owners manag- ed to free them. The barn was a total loss as the cement walls were crumb- led and the steel roof twisted. Hydro service was out in some areas as the storm sent trees and branches into lines. The meteorology section at RCAF Centralia reported the highest wind was recorded at about 12 minutes to 4:00. Prior to that it had been ranging from 55 to 72 MPH, By 4:00 it had dropped down to 25. Hail was reported with the storm and some stones were estimated at close to three- quarters of an inch in diameter. Severe hail and winds are reported to have caused con- siderable crop damage in the Kirkton area.

APPROVE SITE Practically every one of the 24 lads agreed that Camp Syl- van was a "perfect" site for such a school due to the fact its 240 acres contain dense bush, swamps, open fields and was ideal for the various topics chosen. Although they never men- tioned it, most of the lads prob- ably also endorsed the location due to the fact there is a swim- ming pool on location. Did the course achieve its objectives? Well, according to the boys it did and Len Hume, RR 1 Kirkton, backed his opin- ion up by stating that the boys were quite interested and talk- ed about the instructions after the sessions. "The topics were very clear- ly expressed and informative," added Danny Cameron, Hensall. One complaint the lads had was that the lectures were too long and they tended to lose in- terest. gestions for improving the pro- gram and it was here they asked for more time to study. Other suggestions range d from eradicating the area of mosquitos as well as the noisy whippoorwills, more padding for the beds, later rising in the. morning, group leaders that help with the dishes instead of making only the students do it, more swimming periods, more time for open discussions. Rick Haveling, Exeter, sug- gested they try to rent some horses and "save our feet". Perhaps one of the most no- ticeable signs was the fact not one was disappointed and each appeared to enjoy the courses immensely and gained valuable knowledge, And too, most wrote their answers with a very noticeable suggestion they would wish to return for another year. Indications of a truly suc- cessful school! interested Ken Eagleson, RR 3 Parkhill as well. Richard Breakey, Zur lc 11, also enjoyed the field trip with Professor Winder of UWO. The rest of the boys split on various topics from the polar navigation talk, the nature study, taking of the stream in- ventory, wildlife; but geology and soil conservation remain- ed the most popular. The lads were unamimous in stating the many field trips made the instruction more meaningful. "To see the topic makes a more striking im- pression on the mind," com- mented Vernon Hern, Granton. However, Terry Quinn noted the mosquito problem hamper- ed the field trips as some of the boys had to spend much of their time killing the pesky insects. The instructors received a pat on the back from Brian Hogarth, Exeter, who noted they certainly knew what they were talking about. "Seeing the topics discussed and being on site is worth a thousand words," added Rich- ard Breakey. Separate schools — Continued from front page ger, area separate school in- spector. The Union of the boards will not increase enrolment at the school, as students from both areas have already been attend- ing. However, there may be some others within the three- mile radius of the site of the SS 5 board who may come to Precious Blood. In the only other business conducted by the Precious Blood board, Hal Hinton was named as a trustee to replace Don Ward. Ward will continue with his duties as secretary. EXPAND ST. PATRICK'S Construction of a two-room addition to St. Patrick's Separ- ate School near Lucan is in progress. The addition is sche- duled for completion by Septem- ber and will enlarge the school's facilities to five rooms. The addition is partially a result of recent school unions in the area, and the St. Patrick'S school area will be Considerably enlarged beginning in 1965. The new area will include Most of Biddulph and London Township north of the 11th concession. J. Cahill, RR 1 Lucan, sec- retary-treasurer of the board, reported it is expected that additional roonis will be added to the 'school next year as Well. The present'construction contract was awarded to Frank Van EltisSel and Sons Ltd., PR 3 Liman, for a price of $36,273. It was the lowest of four tenders received by the board.

Well, let Larry Johns, RR 6 St, Marys sum it apt "Superbly eXdellent 0 ', While Some Of the other lads Were TOSS emphatic, the rating didn't fall much below excel- lent, and 'Terry McCauley, AIWA field officer, noted the lads couldn't eat the ladieS oitt as they had plenty of provisions to feed the hUngry lot.

As may be expected, a Variety! Arnold Sadler enjoyed the wildlife Study best because he says he thinks animals are as important as humans and should be treated the same way. Phil Conlin, who liVeS on a farm at RP 1 Clandeboye, thought the soil Conservation to- pid was the most interesting to him as he learned how to prevent Soil erosion and how to put proper crops in Various fields.
