Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-10-30, Page 18..0 _PAGE 8—GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, OCL QBE.;11 30, 1975 Hi there! It's a beautiful fall day and we haVe just had another very interesting morning at Women's Day Out. Don't forget we are now meeting at MacKay Hall on North Street. The time is the same, 9:30 to 11:30 am. and remember we have baby sitters, so bring your kids with you. Chief Pat King joined members and spoke on Children and the ,Law in General. He started by discussing the different ages of children ,that the police deal with. Children under seven years of age can not be charged under criminal law even for , the act of rn.lharder unless it is4 proven the c ild is capable of -a deliberatey, wrong and unlawful'. act. There is talk now of raising the age limit from seen to fourteen years of age. When children under the age of 12 become- involved with the law, the police often ,call in the Children's Aid to help the child with his .or her problems. Of the children between the ages of 12 to 14 years, only seven percent end up, in Juvenile Court. The police, on dealing with children of this age, will give - them warnings and then try to find out the reasons for the offence and talk to their parents. Under the law male children' under 14 years cannot legally commit rape. and female children of that • age cannot legally consent to 'Sexual activities. If they are • under 16 years they are dealt with under the Juvenile Delinquents Act and can be sent to Juvenile Court. If he is involved in murder, vicious rape or any such . serious crime the 'judge could send 'him to Adult Court. By law, children under 14 years can not legally con- sume liquor unless it is a sacramental wine.or has been • prescribed by a . doctor or dentist for medical reas.Oris. T.here_,.. is an amendment • oming u13 to let parents give their children liquor at home if they wish. • In Ontario it is against the law for children under the age of 16 to loiter in public places or public entertainments, such as shows, unless they • are accompanied by an adult. Loitering means hanging around a place and becoming a detriment to others. For those under 16 years. the legal curfew is 10:0'0 p.m. A juVenile delinquent is a term used for a child who)s continually in •trouble and those who .are first offenders are delinquent juveniles. The Tobacco Restraint Law/ states that children under 16 years of age can not smoke in any public place. The police have been called in by parents,' who have a daughter around 14 years, and. say •they can't do anything with her. She is often in trouble or runs away. The police have often found this has been guilt up over the years. Some just need to be talked to by the police; sometimes the parents •are responsible and others are referred to counselling agencies, Here in Goderich, there are no such, agencies so the Children's Aid .is asked to - help. If children go to court the judge can give warnings or may send them to _a control centre. Children hgVe.' also become involved with the law as a result of parents who 'are too strict with them. The police will advise the parents to relax some rules or send them to a counselling agent for help. If a child is completely unco-operative with everyone, it can suggest trouble in the , home en- vironment. The courts may put the child in a foster horne for a while. Some runaways are led away by adults and often adults are at fault for picking up kids who are hitchhiking., and possibly running away from home. There are children • who are of the wanter.lust type and just have, a compulsiop to travel frbm place to plabe. - .Some parents create a bad image of the police to their small children by saying the police will lock them up if they don't behave. Some mothers try to act more like big sisters than mothers to their daughters. They encoupage,them to wear a lot of make-up, short skirts and. to date older boys with cars when their daughters are only around 14 years old. • Many parents don't show their children enough love and then the- child creates .„.. minor problems to attract attention from them. At one time if a child didn't 'like the rules his parents set down for •.him at -horne; he would run away. He would then say he was kicked out of home and the goyerninent would sup- port hiriVb'y welfare. Btit now that has changed. Delinquent children come' from all types of homes, Most from the better than average income families. Parents are at fault there because they find it easier to pass out money to their children than - love and their time. Shoplififng shows uP in boys around the age of 11 years of age but in girls it doesn't show up until a year later at 12 years of age. Thanks to Chief King -it was a very interesting and in- formative morning. On October 29, Anne Knox discussed Pre -'Peen Activities Program in Goderich. On November 5 it will, be Food'Budgeting and Sensible Diets with Marnie Davidson, Nutritional Consultant for the Ministry of Health. Well until next week,,happy "HAUNTING".

The Goderich Minor Hockey Association and the .supporters club have decided to control the arena and gate receipts for minor hockey events at the arena on weekends. In a joint meeting between the Goderich Recreation Board, the minor hockey association and the sup-. porters club, the latter two groups decided to man the gate.as usual but to have two pegple on the door, one to sell tickets and the other to take ' ',tickets.

Dishes representative of France, Sweden, China, Japan,Hungary nad Persia adorned a smorgasbord decorated with flags of all nations as a reminder "the earth is one 'country and mankind its citizens. After 'dinner, two ,United Nations films were shown, Overture and The United Nations Security Council. Theme for United Nations this ,year is the equality of men and woman. This principle was first given to the world by Baha'u'llah, prophet -founder of the Baha'i raith over lop years ago. . ..- Baha'u'llah wrote, "As long as women are prevented from attaining their highest possibilities, so long will men be unable' to achieve the greatness which might be theirs." ' "So it will comb to pass that when women participate fully and capably in the great arena of laws cfand war will cease; . for women will be the great obstacle and hindrance to it, "the prophet wrote. "Women must make the greatest effort to attain spiritual power- and to in- crease in the virtue of wisdom and ' holiness until their enlightenment and striving succeeds in bringing about the unity of manking." Baha'i communities across Canada joined in the ob- servance in support of the United Nations' efforts to establish the equality of men and women., ,Harbor Report October 22 the • dredge Lockepprt left to return to Halifax.

Minor hockey would receive 40 percent of the, gate in this procedure with the admission charge .of 50 cents for adults and students and 25 cents for children, L The recreation bctard suggested that this method be used on a four 'week trial basis but representatives of the hockey association and the supporters club chose the alternate offer. At a 'recreation board meeting in September arena manager. Bill Lumby suggested the 60-40' percent gate receipt split with the arena staff , controlling beCause he said that general control in the arena suffered when it was run by minor hockey. , The recreation board also passed a motion to purchase a new grinder to accommodate skate sharpening at the arena. • The new, machine costs $482.30 and Mr. Lumby estimated that it would be, good for at least 15-20 years of service. . • ' Mr. Lumby anticipated that the program could provide extra revenue_.for the arena and said, they should be able to sharpen at least 15,000 pair of skates during the year. Delivery is expected to be sometime around the, middle of November. 401111111•1111.111111111MMINIMININIIMINIIIMMINIMISMIUMINIMMIMIIIIIIMINIMMII,4 • COUNTRY. CLUB BY BE.RYL A.
