M. Barlow speaks to teachers
about modern cultural values
How we are training young
boys and girls to be different
kinds people, the values of
modern culture and violence
in the world were brought to
light at last Wednesday
evening's joint meeting of
the county men and women
public school teachers.

Minister rierre Elliott
Trudeau, discussed some
startling and unsettling
trends with local teachers.
She also heads a national
coalition against por-
nography.
Through the use of recent
studies and statistics Mrs.
Barlow illustrated the
gradual "desentization" of
today's young people.
There are several marked
changes between today's
society and the 1950s:
banization and its values;
affluence and its values;
mass communication and an
increased level of adoles-
cence.
Even in a "liberated"
society young males and
females still are taught to
behave differently. Boys are
taught to be competitive and
independent, while girls are
protected and encouraged to
be dependent.
"Girls' success depends
upon interpersonal relation-
ships. Boys are taught that
winning isall important."
in today's high-tech
society girls are dropping
out of math and science
courses at an alarming rate,
said Mrs. Barlow, the very
courses they will need to find
work in the competitive job
market of the 1980s.
"Girls are rewarded in
school for being passive,
clean and cooperative. They
are afraid of looking dumb,
but they are afraid of suc-
cess more."
The fear of success in a
"man's world" is powerfully
internalized and illustrated
in statistics: one out of two
women will be poor for much
of her life; two out three
elderly women are below the
poverty level and the
average male high school
dropout earns the same as
the averagefemale
university graduate.
SEXUAL VIOLENCE
Nlrs":° Barlow is very
disturbed about the increase
in sexual violence towards
women and children.
One out of four girls and
one of 10' boys is sexually
abused, but possibly even

MAUD BARLOW, a consultant, lecturer and former ad-
viser on women's issues to Prime Minister Pierre Elliott
Trudeau, addressed a joint meeting of the county men
and women public school -teachers recently in Blyth.
Mrs. Barlow spoke on modern cultural values and por-
nography.
more alarming is the new
presentation of women being
battered, and even mur-
dered, for sexual pleasure in
pornographic "films and
magazines.
Sexual violence in movies,
doubles every year and the
trend is to "eroticize"
violence.
Children today will have
spent more time in front of a
television set than in the
classroom by the time they
are out of their teens. She
said an average hour of
television viewing contains
30 acts of violence: murders,
'assaults and rapes.
The recent trend towards
rock "videos" also is
disturbing as 50 per cent of
these videotapes are violent
and 35 per cent present
violence, towards women.
In addition to television,
many young Canadians have
easy access to pornographic
magazines and films. There
currently are 540 "porn
mags" available in Canada,
as compared to 20 in 1965.
Mrs. Barlow said these
magazines are not the air-
brushed Playboys and.
Penthouses of 10 years ago,
but hard core publications
showing women and children
being beaten, raped and
sometimes murdered for
pleasure.
"Boys learn that sex and
aggression go together and it
teaches young females to go ..
along with it."
Child pornography is a
growing problem in our
modern world. An estimated
one million children, are
reported missing annually in
the United States, Some are
abducted by parents, some
are runaways, but an
alarming number are stolen
for purposes of the -child
pornography market.
Mrs. Barlow apologized.
for presenting such a
negative picture to the
teachers, but as educators
they have the potential to
help children by teaching
them the principle of life.
The values of the modern
society must be changed so
children, the elderly and the
disadvantaged mean more.
"Children need to be.
taught that rape, incest and
wife battering are acts of
war," and will not be
tolerated in a modern
society.
friends of Library

The Wingham Friends of
the Library explored the
subject of computers during
a recent meeting. A National
Geographic film about
computers was viewed,
followed by a presentation

Tribunal hears appeal
on Elliott No® 2 Drain
The Ontario Drainage
f'iunal
met last Friday at
the Turnberry Township
municipal office to hear a
"request for alteration"
appeal by Roy and Catherine
Wormington on the Elliott
No. 2 Drain.
Mr. Wormington appealed
his drainage assessment of
over $4,000 as he claims the
drain will be of very little
benefit to him.
The tribunal gathered
evidence at last week's
hearing, followed by an on-
site inspection. A ruling is
expected. in approximately
two months' time.
Engineer Art Clark of
Maitland Engineering
Services in Wingham gave
the members of the tribunal
some background on the
$20,000 drain.
Mr. Clark said he received
the drainage petition, signed
by Harry Elliott, on Jan. 12
of last year. A site meeting,
at which Mr. Wormington
was not present, was held
March 9 and Mr. Clark
presented his report to
Turnberry council April 30,
1984.
Originally called the
Wormington -Elliott Drain,

No damage

The Wingham Fire
Department responded to
two grass fires last week,
both the result of burning
refuse. Chief Dave Crothers
reported no damage in either
incident.
The firemen responded to
a call last Friday afternoon
'at three o'clock to the Cecilia
Tittoto farm on Lot 7, Con.
11, of Howick Township, just
north of Gorrie.
The call was made by
neighbor Brenda Grubbe.
The second incident oc-
curred May 21 and the call
Was placed at 11:18 p.m, to
the gravel pit just west of
Wingham where a refuse fire
had spread out of control.
The property is owned by the
Federal Business Develop-
ment Bank.
Ritter named
vice chairman
Robert Ritter of Wingham
was elected vice chairman of
the Saugeen Library Service
Board at its °inaugural
meeting in May.
Mr. Ritter is the appointee
of the Huron County Public
Library and has been a
member of the Midwestern
library board since 1982. He
served as its vice chairman
during the process ef

library service.
James Brown was elected
as 'chairman of the board.
Mr. Brown, now retired, is
the former chief librarian of
the Waterloo Public Library
engineer and trustee on the
Huron County Board of'
Education.
Mr. Clark discussed the
practical use of computersin
the home and' business,
particularly noting the value
of word-processing pro=
grams and data processing.
He pointed out the import-
ance of ,removing„ the "mag-
ic" from computers and
recognizing them as useful
tools.
-:Several -computers- were--_..-.
available for viewing, with
demonstrations of graphic
design capabilities. Lorraine
Poulin, assistant program
chairman, thanked Mr.
Clark for his interesting
• presentation.
Library business centred
around discussion of a
Community Facilities
Development grant program
announced by the Ministry of
Citizenship and Culture in
April. If Wingham can get
such a grant it could be
applied. to--the--development-
of new "multi -cultural
centres", such as a, larger
library.
In other business, Librar-
ian Margaret Day was asked
to proceed with the purchase
of two new library stools to
be donated by the Friends of
the Library. Those present
also were told about the
Zehrs tapes box now in the
library to raise money for
future purchases of mater-
ials.
The meeting closed with
refreshments and an in-
formal discussion. The last
meeting of the season will be
held in .Tune.
mediately objected to the
name, as• well as the costs
assessed to him.
A court off revision, con-
sisting off members of
Turnberry council, was held
July 3 and adjourned until
Aug. 7 when it reconvened to
deny the appeal and forward
the matter to the drainage
tribunal.
In addition to Mr. Elliott
and- Mr. Wormington, there
are three other landowners
assessed into the drain: the
Fleming Black estate, J.
Lillow and the township.
The acreage in the
watershed is 22 hectares and
the total length of the drain i5
1,107 metres. The proposed
new drain would outlet into
an existing drain.
CROSS EXAMINED
Following Mr. Clark's
presentation, Mr. Wor-
mington was allowed to ask
some questions of the
engineer.
Mr. Wormington has 10
hectares of property assess-
ed into the drain and he
asked Mr. Clark how he
arrived at the figure.
The engineer said he
determined the watershed
boundary through the use of
1978 air photographs,
although he admitted it is an
approximation.
The use of "a drainage
"sock" to filter sand and
,gravel will add several
hundred dollars to the cost of
the drain, . said Mr. Wor-
mington; adding he does not
think it is necessary.
"We dug test holes and
encountered sand at every_
one except one," explained.
Mr. Clark.
Mr. Wormington then was
given an opportunity to
present his case to the
tribunal.
He said he never has had
any problem with excess
water at the area in question.
"I never lost a crop because
of water?"
He also said too much of
his land is assessed into the
drain.
"It should be a private
drain," he concluded.
"Does your water cause
your neighbor a problem?"
'asked" tribunal member
Wilfred Roy."
"Yes, some," replied Mr.
Wormington. "It goes to the
west."
When Mr. Elliott had a
turn to present his case, he
told the tribunal ' there are
tile coming out of the Wor-
mington property onto his
own property.
"How'xdeep are these tile,
Harold?"asked Mr. Wor-
mington. \
Mr. Elliott replied he did
not know, \ ut adamantly
claimed the ile are there.
Following th presentation
of the evidence, the mem-
bers of the tribunal went to
the site of the proposed drain
on Con. 5 for an on-site in-
spection.
