Ms. Kirsti Jarvis, Publicity 'Chairman for the CHSPTF and a past president of the Ontario federation of Home and School Associations, said the pamphlet; produced both in English and French, is the result of more than one year of research by a...Federation committee baked in- Prince Edward !gland. The document, said Ms. Jarvis, is an attempt to increase understanding among parents and to emphasize the importance of early detection. The emphasis, she said, is upon prevention of abuse and neglect rather than punish- ment of those involved. "Our committee's re- search dispels many myths," said Ms. Jarvis. "For .example, child abuse and neglect happens all through the ,population and in all types of families. It is not more apt to happen among rural, or urban or suburban families, or in any particular ethnic or religious group." group.— ' Ironically, she said, both canada and the U.S. created societes for the protection of animals before they created similar protection for their children. "The Canadian Home and School and Parent-Teacher Federation recognizes that, more public awarenes is ,„ needed for a problem that' has Only come to public attention in recent years. And we cannot' think of a more fitting time to do that than 1979, which has been declared the International Year of the Child by the 'United Nations." Copies of the booklet, "The Child . . . Everybody's Rsponsibility", are available to the general public as well as CHSPTF members, said Ms. Jarvis. They can tre obtained from any provincial Home and School Federation or from the CHSPTF head office at 240 Eglinton Avenue 'East, Toronto, M4P 1K8. Win turkeys
