""Our Houso" :back row L. to R., iNeal, Ann McAneney, R., Dennis Rigo, Marie "Our Bouse" is convinced that in the Town of Whitby there is a definite need for more community involveme- nt and concern. In the soc- iety as it exists there is a trend towards the separation of people mostly ini categor- jes of age. Institutions do not enhance the idea of com- mwiity so that people tend to lose interest in both them- selves and others. With the emphasis on person to per- son contact within groups and via some programming we would like to see brought together people who do flot otherwise have, the opport- unity to meet one another. ihis would bring about one of our main objectives which is to remnain young at heart. The means by which we see this being accomplished include: an adopted grand- parent-grandchild plan; com- munity programs for Fair- view Lodge residents and psy- chiatric patients (visits, frien- dships, excursions and so on) and an interested volunteer organization. The project will stem ma- inly from a house "Our H. ouse" which represents and hopes to give a homey atmos- phere. There will be eleven local participants in the pro- ject, the geriatrix wards at the psychiatric hospital, mem bers of Fairview Lodge, vol- unteers, younger children as weil as other people who wiIt be directly involved. "Our Blouse" is an Opportunity for Youth sponsored project. "Our House" 668-2501 ONE POISON PERIL YOU MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED Parents are generally aw- are that medicines, cosmetics household cleaners, furniture polish and the like are pois- onous and tend to treat them with caution.- But there is one potent- i poisoner that may be lurk- ing within reach of an exp- Ioring child - Pet prescript ions. Animal medication, usual- ly packaged in bottles or envelopes displaying no war- nings, can be potent pois- oners for curious children. lIbe Ontario Safety League advises that these, along with other pet products, such as insecticide sprays, powders, soaps and shampoos and pet cosmetics should be regarded as dangerous and be stored out of reach of children, or better stili, under lock and key.
