Falls provincial park near Sauble
Beach will be added to the growing
list of provincial parks be operated by
private enterprise.
The private cont actors will super-
vise lhe'operation and maintenance
of these parks but must follow
ministry guidelines.
Officials from the ministry say the
policy to make private the provincial'
parks will be beneficial in the long run
and will save the Ontario taxpayer's
money by cutting out traditional park
ttclefecits.
The policy calls for all recreational
class parks to be considered • for
tendering However, it is only the
operation which is being tendered.
The same provincial park rules and
tees apply at the privately operated
parks.
There are eight recreational parks
in Southwestern Ontario. Five have
been put up for tenders with three still
operated by the province. The re-
maining ministry operated parks are
not immediately affected because
potential tendering is decided at least
two years ahead of time.

The ministry says no park
employ ees will lose their jobs because
of the move but will be shifted to other
government positions. One
superintendent from each of the two
parks will be affected.

Program set
for toddlers
"Pleasures, Problems and
Preschoolers" is a parent education
program put on by Huron County
Health Unit. This is a program which
focuses on encouraging healthy and
appropriate relationships among
parents and toddlers 1-4 years old,
and conversely in preventing emo-
tional disturbance in children.
The 1-4 years is a most relevant age
group. According to Burton L. White,
the interaction between the mother
and her pre-school child is the most
powerful factor in the child's
development.
"The mother's direct and indirect
actions with regard to her one to three
year old child, especially during the
second year of life, are in our opinion,
the most powerful formative factors
in the development of a pre-school age
child.
Further, we would guess that if a
mother does a fine job in the pre-
school years, subsequent educators
such as teachers will find their
chances for effectiveness
maximized."
The objectives of the series
"Pleasures, Problems and
Preschoolers" are:, a) to infori7i
parents of normal, expected
behaviour of toddlers, ie. child
development, b) to encourage parents
to deal with expected and unexpected
problems of'toddlers in constructive .
ways, c) to encourage parents to use
one another as support and as a
resource in problem solving, d) to en-
-courage parents to discover ways of
deriving enjoyment from their •
children.
"Pleasures, Problems, , and
Preschoolers" consist of a series of 3
sessions, each session lasting 11/2
hours. Subjects covered include
development, safety, discipline,
health and nutrition and sexuality.
Resources used for this series include
films, filmstrips, overheads and
quizzes.

County Health Unit 524-8301.
