a18 tribune 26 1986 questions dear editor the fact the stouffville christian school may be afforded the same opportunity to accept government funding as catholic schools raises several interesting points will the same government- imposed rules apply will those rules remove the uniqueness of the school will the school be part of the public system with an indepen dent name these are issues the christian school board will have to con sider carefully while lack of funding and sub sequent fees may make it pro hibitive for some students to attend this is more than com pensated for by the high level of academic and moral instruc tion provided to erode these would destroy the school the trustees will want to make sure this doesnt happen sincerely helen davey rr 1 claremont thompson s 65th of

recently moved how might yon help that person become better acquainted with your area moving to a new home can be particularly difficult because ev erything is strange traffic patterns are unique to every town o country oneway streets and leftturnonly lanes appear out of nowhere try to remember a time when you have moved or travelled to a new community what kinds of things helped you in learning your way around one of the first things some newcomers look for is a church or an organization to which to belong but very often they spend many sundays or evenings attending different places to find the one they feel most comfortable with one way you can offer help is to invite them to go with you in that invitation you might discover other ways you and your friends may be able to meet the needs of a new family some friends of mine moved to a new area and were not sure which church to attend deb and joe had a few in mind and were prepared to visit each until they found the one they were comfort able with the first sunday one of the couples in the sunday school class invited them to come to a small group meeting later that evening in this personalized environment they learned to know a variety of people much better than just shaking hands on a sunday morning from that deb and joe decided they need look no further for a church home another couple i know moved during the early summer months hoping to get settled before the start of school unfortunately pat and her family found it difficult to find a permanent place the real estate market was booming and neither rentals nor houses to buy were in abundance the first six weeks the family housesat but then they were without a place to live the church pat and rick were attending found them temporary residence until they could locate permanent housing a street map book which listed hospitals schools places of worship streets parks and recreation and shopping areas was a lifesaver during this time soon they were finding shortcuts like oldtimers if you know someone newmake sure they receive such a guide or better yet offer to take a newcomer along with you to shopping centres and grocery stores often by asking a few questions you can soon find out what kinds of interests the newcomers have if you are not particularly in terested in something they mention maybe you could introduce them to one of your friends who shares the same interests and thereby widen the newcomers circle it also may be helpful for newcomers to meet others who have recently moved another idea is to contact your local chamber of commerce many offer a newcomers packet for a small fee that includes in formation on tourist attractions community life housing trans portation commerce and maps if youre planning to move tip another area your local chamber of commerce can give you the address and phone number of the community you are moving to so you can send for information ahead of time new people find helpful information in a library and you could offer to take them there when karen was new lisa gave her several brochures that listed continuing education classes in that town lisa wanted to take a class as well karen and lisa found one they were both interested in and decided to drive together i finding a family physician dentist or orthodontist becomes another difficult decision often a newcomer will need a doctor shortly after moving into a new area adding to the stress of re locating if a newcomer asks you to recommend a doctor take an extra step to write down yourdoctqrs name addifejss and phonfe number the newcomer may not decide to go to your physician but if she has the information and spelling in front of her it makes life a little easier you might be the link a newcomer needs to help4hemfceltit home
