THE NORTH Shore Family Ser-
vices Society is celebrating Na-
tional Families Week Oct. 5 to 1]
with the introduction of new
courses on strengthening family
ties.

The fist fight between sisters
Sally and Monika was getting so
bad that the mother had to inter-
ject and break up the batiling
teens, Since then Sally has been

ment. The fight was eight days
ago.

The girls’ mother likes to think
she does not have a highly unusual
problem. She adores her girls, but
finds Sally *‘so hard to get through
to sometimes’ —a typical problem

offered by the North Shore Family

Scheduled for Oct. 17. it is the
only program of its kind in’ the

Mainland adopted their own ver-
sions.

troduced two other unique pro-
grams this fall — Our Aging
Parents or Coping with Elderly
Parents and Strong Families Just

Lower Mainland. Registration in
Parent-Teen Communication — is
