P,P., rather than a local police force. Many stressed the need for support of pollee by the courts and fairness in the erifOr- cement of law. Some especially emphasized the need for closer support between. police and young people. 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 21 per cent of those in-. terviewed felt the public was 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. BUCHANAN DRY CLEANERS The replies to these two clueStiohS indicated a eerious 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, eppakers 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. 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 counsellipg. Tbe skuse of drugs and alcohol were also referred to in particular as counselling opportunitieS. The second, priority seemed to be the need 9f senior citizens. Health, recreation, housing and the general needs of elderly 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 these 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 facili- 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.
