HELPS WITH BASICS

TORONTO (CP) — The co- ordinator af the Downtown Youth Centre, opened two weeks ago, says it is too early to analyse and generalize about the Yonge Streetstripbut “everybody's something.” -

Yves Saint Pierre, 33, has spent 11 years on the streets with teen-agers in Montreal and Victoria and now he is on Yonge Street,. where a special committee of Metropolitan Toronto council found young people attracted to the strip became easy victims of prostitution and drugs.

sics—where to find the nearest jJaundromats, showers, hostels, contacts for job-hunting, a mailing address for forwarding extra savings from home,

The workers already have been in touch with up to 25 youths in a shift, meeting them at the bus depot, silting with them in Yonge Street hang-outs and playing electronic games next to them in pinball parlors.

“1 play pinball beside them,” worker Shelly Mc- Carthy said.

“They ask me about my game. I tell them about the centre, They're curious.”

Some, the ones under 16 years of age, are more than curious— they are cautious because of their runaway status.

Saint Pierre said the

question of juveniles is a difficult one.

“¥¢'g still the responsiblity of children’s aid societies to look after these kids,” he said.

SAYS YOUTHS WORRY

Saint Pierre said juveniles often_are worried about

having contact with children’s aid socities and the centre (ries to ease their fears.

Junior Ward, 17, of Sud- bury, Ont., said he found na decent place to stay until he Jearned of hostels through the centre
