The boat patrols waters adjoin. ing the shores of Newcastle. Oshawa and Whitby. COMRA Commander Bob Henstock reported to Alder- man Dewar's committee that in 1977-78 COMRA answered i distress calls associated with Whitby waters. He also pointed out that the COMRA boat, based in Oshawa harbor, makes regu- lar weekly patrols in the Whitby area. 'It is very.evident that the parties concerned with the decision (not to pay for COMRA's costs) are not completely aware of the Volunteers needed Durham Centre for the Developmentally Handi- capped, located south of the Dr. J.O.
