After hearing comments from those not in favor of the rezoning, Mr. Engelstead said, "The patients are not walking around with horns and tails. If the patients were here they would be upset." Bill Counter also spoke in defence of the clinic. "It's been across from my house and it's never disturbed me." One concerned resident on Joseph Street asked Mayor Archibald that, with the upcoming election and the gravity of situation, the decision to rezone or not be left to the new council. Mayor Archibald said, "I'm not going to have people say that the mayor was too yellow to face a thorny issue." Towards the end of the meeting, the same man who suggested putting the issue off until the next council said he would be in favor of the change if there would be a clinic and only a clinic. "We're not a bunch of bigots," he said. Also at the end of the meeting, John Lavis, the owner of the property for the proposed clinic, said, "By the number of people here, you'd think 1 was trvinu to set un a house of ill-repute...lf I thought this would disrupt the community, I wouldn't start A. I thought it would be good for the town." Mr. Lavis also added that he would be willing to sign any type of agreement with council that would turn the property back into residential if the clinic decided to move. Mr. Caldwell will be drawing up the bylaw that will state the land is to be used for a clinic only. The bylaw will be circulated to the concerned citizens who will have an opportunity to voice their opinions at council's next meeting.

Services at the clinic encourage socializa- tion, greater independence and self- sufficiency, improvement in communica- tion, initiative and assertiveness, the development of personal interests and spare time activities, the examination of and resolution of personal problems. Staff includes a fulltime nursing assistant and two part-time employees, including a registered nurse who has a Bachelor of Household Management. Employees surpervise and offer in- struction in daily, programs that include counselling and therapy, crafts, exercise programs, community recreational and social activities. One course currently running at the clinic studies basic family living skills. The course looks at nutrition and menu planning, child psychology and development, needlework, hair care, wardrobe "planning and beauty hints, financial planning, effr^+;••^ and consumer rights. Mrs. Moriarty said that the aim of the Community Psychiatric Services is to offer encouragement,ssistance and confiden- tiality for people *ho are having difficulties coping with the rigors of everyday life,for people who are lonely or isolated; She explained that without the service, many people would suffer, "They need on- going support groups. Hospitals ran only help while a person is in hosptial." Tack -or -treaters work for UNICEF "Trick -or -treat" will be the call of children tomorrow night as they make their annual Halloween rounds. They'll be dressed as ghosts and goblins, favorite cartoon characters and animals. They'll be carrying bags to collect candy and many will be carrying the familiar' UNICEF boxes. For more than 30 years now, children in Ontario have made door-to-door canvasses for UNICEF the United Nations Children's Fund on Halloween night. Donations made to those orange and black boxes have helped millions of children around the world. UNICEF donations have been used to drill new wells and provide clean water in Third. World communities. Money has been used in the fight againstcommunicable diseases through UNICEF's immunization program. Fdpration. health rare; improved nutri- tion and protection from cruelty and neglect are among UNICEF's other aims. This year the UNICEF Halloween dona- tions will be helping thousands of Brazilian children who rely on the streets for their survival. Twenty million children between the ages of seven and 17 live on the streets of Brazil's two major cities. These street children earn money by selling gums," peanuts, candy and themselves. These children take to the streets in order to survive •because their families cannot support `them. Their financial contribution often faakes a differlence between their family unit staying together or breaking up. UNICEF now works in 200 communities in Brazil, helping 50,000 street children. UNICEF projects provide - them with nutritious lunches, health services 'and schooling. For every child UNICEF reaches in Brazil, there are still 1,000 more children to help. This is UNICEF's challenge. By 1986 UNICEF will have set up 200 additional pro-, grams in Brazil.
