Wingham Advance-Times, 1980-03-05, Page 6�IE i�. i The Wiogkam Advance -1 Mes. March 5, 00130 oncern over families not ew, recent repo says Amid growing concern over the disintegrating family unit, some voices of optimism speak out in the most recent FABS Sheet published by the University of Guelph's college of family and consumer studies. Concern over the weakening family is nothing new, coin - menta Professor Anne Callaghan of family studies. Observers 50 years ago voiced many of the same complaints about families which we hear today. She contends that wife and child abuse are actually less common today than in the past, but are reported more frequently because we are finally recognizing that women and children have rights within the family. Until the last few decades families fulfilled institutional roles: survival, production and raising children. Today we have far different ex- pectations of the family, suggests Professor Claude G 1dner, a family and marriage counsellor in the department of family studies. Adults look to marriage for companionship, sharing, a€fectian and sex. He also notes that young people today have many more choices regarding marriage. The traditional family unit is no longer the only acceptable .lifestyle. Remaining single, not having children, trial marriage and divorce are all more acceptable than in the past. Professor George Kawash, a child psychologist at the university, is concerned about parents' loss of confidence in raising their families. He feels Day Centre News Tuesday boasted a record attendance at the Wingham Day Centre for the Homebound with 31 moths to feed. The group enjoyed a singsong, exercises and active games. The afternoon program was held at the greenhouse at F. E. Madill Secondary . School. Dan Webster had the group busy planting onions, which. the group .will Sell at its spring craft sale. Wednesday's regular group was kept home due to high winds and the heavy snow fall. Many were. able to come in on Thursday and that group enjoyed the police presen- tation..on senior safety. Constable Jolto Nolan, of the Wingham detachment, showed a film ' on senior citizens and how they should react ina variety of emergencies. He was available afterwards to an- swer questions and stress important emergency procedures. The crafts for the spring sale are rolling in. A variety of knitwear for children and adults is available and the macrame and ceramic projects'' are nearing com- pletion. The plants have all been started and hopefully vegetables and flowers will be available by April 30. A volunteer driver workshop has been scheduled for Monday, March 31. An afternoon program will in elude topics on how to handle physically disabled, how to help a senior in and out of a vehicle, what it means to be a valunteer and what insurance adjustment .a ave to be made. If you dri ( for a club or agency on a volunteer basis and would like to take part in the March 31 program, con- tact Janet Bishop at 357-1440. children respond favorable to consistently enforced limits within the family, especially in today's environment of rapid social and technological change. The three are basically optimistic about the future of the family. Prof. Callaghan feels the family is evolving to accommodate more in- olividualism; Prof. Guldner sees emphasis on the indi- vidual as a positive development, saying: "We're becoming more tolerant of individual differences within the family and among families."

Influence of cults shared by speaker Beliefs of cults and the in- fluence they have on people was discussed by guest speaker Ian Howarth as the Three Ms of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church met Wednesday evening at the church. A taped explanation of the cults was very informative and . Mr. Howarth, an ex - member, spoke of their strong influence, saying that in two and a half `weeks he had become one of them. There are 22 techniques of mind control used by the cults. They destroy the family unit, deceive a recruit, isolate the member,mentally andor physicalland much more. It is plain to see that the ob- jectives of the cult movement are opposite to those of religion. The end results are very harmful to the in- dividual. To leave the cult, the in- dividual suffers severe with- drawal for six months and less severe withdrawal for another five"months. A discussion followed Mr. Howarth's informative talk. COMA, Council on Mind Abuse, is an organization to educate the public about the subtle techniques of manipulative thought reform. Eight couples were present at the meeting and Rev. Dr. Robert II. Armstrong and Mrs. Armstrong were in charge. Mrs. Armstrong read scripture from I Corinthians, chapter 13, and Dr. Armstrong spoke on the theme of kind- ness and love and gave some history of St. Valentine. Mrs. Wallace Richardson was pianist for the hymns. Lunch was served by Dr. and Mrs. Armstrong and a social time was enjoyed. Fire safety discussed at education meeting Act Now!
