The Whitby Chapter of the Oñtario Heart Founda- tion met last week to review the results of the 1975 cam- paign for funds and although there were some bright spots, the overall response of the community to the appeal was somewhat disappointing. At the beginning of February, "Heart Month", over 8,000 mailers were sent out to the homes of Whitby and less than one in eight responded by sending a dona!- tion. According to Nigel Schill- ing, President of the Chapter, "those who did contribute, did so most generously, but we find it somewhatastound- Ing that sueh a small propor- tion of our people are concerned about the nation's number one killer, or at least demonstrate that concern by supporting the vital research needed to conquer our grav- est health problem. Research is the only method of finding the answer. It was through research the answer was found in polio, diptheria, TB and numerous 6ther diseases which once were so prevalent and only through research will the final answer be found to conquer heart disease." Draft Program for Longueuil Twinning WVitby Council has re- leased a draft prograrn for the twinning exchange with the City of Longueuil scheduled to take place in June. The contingent from Longueuil will eave Montreal at 9 a.m. on Friday, June 27 and arrive via train at the Thornton Canadian National Railway Station at 2:18 p.m. From there, they will be bussed to the Holiday Inn on Highway 401 at Harmony Road in Oshawa. After unpacking their suit- cases, they will cone to the Centennial Building in Whit- by for an official reception and twinning ceremonies, complete with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, at 5 p.m. They will return to the Holiday Inn for dinner. Thoen it's back to the Centennial Building at 8:30 for a dance with Club Loreley and the County Town Singers. After the dance, they will be bussed back to the hotel. Saturday activities begin at 9 a.m. with a special break- fast at the Centennial Build- ing. Few Postal Complaints Received There will be no investiga- tion of the level of postal service in Whitby in the near future town council decided last week. Whitby Council, a short while ago, complied with a request from Councillor Joy Thompson to invite written complaints from citizens who felt the service provided by the post office was substand- ard. Council received only four written and 10 verbal com- plaints. Councillor Thompson ex- pressed disappointment that those who complained ver- bally didn't do so in writing. Council decided that, be- cause of the lack of response and the inopportune time of inviting complaints during the disruption of postal services, no action should be taken. w The contingent froim Longueuil will then return to the hotel to prepare for a reception in Ashburn at 1 p.m. This will be followed at 6:30 by a dinner, special reception and gala dance at the Whitby Yacht Club. On Sunday at 8:45 a.m., they will attend mass at St. John the Evangelist Church. At 9:30, there will be an open air "eye opener" break- fast at Heydenshore Pavillion. . Then, at noon, the twin- ning ceremonies will end with a buffet banquet at the Cen- tennial Building. The visitors from Longueuil will leave for home at 5:49 Sunday evening. Tender For Garbage Collection Town Council lias author- ized the purchasing officer, in consultation with the direc- tor of public works. to pre- pare a tender call for the collection of garbage in Whitby. Council chose this route instead of negotiating an extension to the current agreement that the town has with Mr. Groeneveld. The current contract with Mr. Groeneveld expires in June of 1976. The scope of the tender call should include that area of town that is currently covered by the agreement and any new apartment buildings and readily acces- sible residences in the rural area. Figure Skating Denied Ice time is not available for certain periods for which the Whitby Figure Skating Club is requesting it. The director of recreation has told the club that its re- quests for spring, summer and fall ice time will be taken into consideration when scheduling is donc. One of the reasons for the poor response might have been the continuous uncer- tainty surrounding the mail situation. Although local mail service was not affected, no doubt there were many who did not realize that their, donations would have been delivered. The Heart Fund would like to rernind citizens that donations can still be mailed or taken to their bank. A pleasant surprise for Heart Fund workers, however was a contribution of $350 from the West Lynde Com- munity Association, the pro- ceeds of an association dance held at Heydenshore Pavillion at the kick-off of Heart Month. Not only were the profits of the dance turned over, the association also collected contributions for "Roses for Research". Another encouraging con- tribution was received from the students at Anderson Collegiate who donated $ 100 to the fund. The young people at Anderson deserve the comimendation of the community and its citizens for their concern in elping in this vital work. i Already plans are under- way for another public meet- ing in October such as that held last year when an out- standing panel of experts discussed heart disease and held an open forum attended by a large crowd of interested listeners. The Chapter also plans to step up the distribution of educational material to the public. The Heart Founda- tion has vast array of litera- ture dealing with the prevention of heart and bloodevessel disease and plans are being made to make this more readily available to the public. Heart Foundationaofficiais are. also hopeful of arranging a program in local high schools. In many other cen- ters programmes with the prevention of heart disease and its treatment have been received Swith keen interest by students. It is the belief, of most heart researchers that it is the faulty habits acquired in youth with regard to diet, exercise habits and smoking that lead to pro- blems in later life.
