(Star Staff Photo) Walton Churches Plan Sex Education with Village PTA WALTON Sophomores, juniors and seniors in Walton are invited and urged to attend a series of study sessions concerning boy-girl relations which has been arranged cooperatively by the Walton PTA and the Walton Ministers' association and supported by the Walton Council of Churches. The first study session will be at 8 p.m., June 7 in the Walton United Presbyterian church. Since the school did not wish to assume the responsibility for such a program, a committee was appointed last January at a PTA meeting when Dr. G. Doane presented a talk on "Sex, Smoking, Alcohol Problems on the Path to The committee named Dr.

Doane and Mrs. Reginald D. Avery co-chairmen, to present the idea to the Ministers' association. Parents at the meeting felt that because the role of sex is glamorized and overemphasized in literature and communications media, and instruction given by parents is meager, the youth often have a collection of distorted bits of information and few basic values uppn which to judge a course of behaviour.

Doane and concerns basic physiology and background material. It is hoped that these simple fundamentals will be the basis for detailed questions from the teen-agers themselves. These in turn will be the subjects for discussion at subsequent sessions which will be in smaller groups in churches to be designated later. Dr. Maurice Wolfberg as well as Dr.

Doane will lead these groups. Although all meetings are go- ing to be held in the churches, all high school students in the three upper high school classes are urged to attend. and on for about 10 years, found the plane in 55 feet of water about 300 yards off shore between the Country Club and Hyde's boathouse.
