If we look through the eyes of a child, we can see how they are literally dwarfed by their surroud- nings, and how this may lead to feelings or isolation and loneliness. We can help eliminate these feel- ings by trying harder to in- ciude the child in family recreation time, watching their T.V. program, reading their funnies, together.

It is a popular misconception that children do not become suicidal because of loneliness and emotional problems, many people are unwilling to ac- cept this as fact. '/ntil the Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, March 27, 1985, page 5 19th century there vere no statistics available on child suicide, however, as more _attention was paid to children as, individuals, more statistical interest was shown.

Ed- san has been operating since 1981, when Ed registered with Consumer and Corporate Affairs. It all began when Ed began photography lessons for the small group of peo- ple who were interested in learning how to operate their camera, develops negatives, and print pic- tures. The numbers of peo- ple grew, and so did their needs. They began wanting their own equipment, and of course the paper, film, chemicals, etc. needed to start up a darkroom.
