PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1976, WHITBY FREE PRESS Brok1in B 4ines Well, the children are all out of school and summer is here in earnest. Many mothers of little children will be wondering what they can do to keep them occupied on those long hot summer days ahead. 'ome children will be going away to visit relatives or to private camps. Perhaps, some will be'able to enjoy the 'Y' summer camps offered in our area. For those who are just staying home, may I suggest that you take advantage of the summer parks program run by the Whitby Recreation Department? This program offers a wide range of assorted games, crafts and singing sessions, as well as a variety of special activities to youngsters who come out to local parks. The teenagers who will staff the parks are very well trained, they are also enthusiastic and energetic I might add. I sat in on one of their training sessions and was very impressed by the interest shoyvn by these young people. Providing the chil -en with all sorts of opportunities tohave fun is going to be a strenuous job. The playground leaders seem to be both capable and responsible. If you would like to find out where the nearest park offering supervised play programs is in your area pleasecall 668-5803. The Recreation Department will be happy to BROWN'S give you further information. The more children who turn out, the better the program will be - the parks program starts this week so don't delay! Last week, the Ashburn community held a Strawberry Social at the Ashburn Community Centre, and it was a very successful event. The people of Ashburn turned out in good numbers and the town council members were also present. This evening provided a good opportunity for informal discussion of neighbourhood concerns between council and the community people. Friendly social interaction is an important part of good local g-overnment. The people and the politicians should not see each others only in structurea political meetings. Their communication should not be only through council orders and petitions. We need more opportunities to relax and talk with elected officials in an open and friendly atmosphere where confrontation and argument are absent. We will never, I hope, become suçh a large or unfriendly community that this sort of informal dialogue will be impossible. Viable government is that which is accessible to the citizens, it was great that the council members all attended. WED.

She reports that last year, the Red Cross in Ontario collected over 350,000 units of blood for use in Ontario hospitals. Of that, 22 per cent was used in the summer months. "Because Whitby is so close to the blood transfusion centre in Toronto, blood donated in Whitby can be quickly processed into its many components", she says. "So, one blood donor is a potential saver of severallives". "Give a half hour of your time in a friendly atmosphere, in air-conditioned surround- ings. Enjoy a refreshing glass of lemonade and cookies. Go forth into vacation time, knowing.you've given the gift of life", urges Mrs. Currier. The target for the clinic is 300 donations. "That can happen only if, in addition to the faithful regular donors, many new donors come forward", says Mrs. Currier.
