WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1979, PAGE 5 Community Care needs volunteers With many people going on vacation in the summer months, there is an urgent need now for Community Care volunteers, especially drivers. During May, 2, 306 volun- teer miles were driven, mostly to medical appoint- ments, and this need conti- nues year-round. Many regular volunteers are away for the summer months, therefore there is a critical need for new volunteers. Even one hour a week helps, says Mandy Craw- ford, a member of Commu- nity Care, which assists senior citizens to remain in their own homes. Last year at this time, Community. Care had 52 clients, This year the num- ber of clients has skyrocke- ted to 254 clients, five times as many as.in 1978. There are 109 volunteers on file, of whom about 40 are youth volunteers who are good at many jobs such as yard maintenance, light housekeeping, etc. but cannot drive. and Me By Ruth Chambers Cont'd from P. 3 laughter are created in a whole by a relaxed group of people surrounded by beauty - the flowers, the fountains and once again charm. Why not some of this in Whitby? It's an old town with a history-let's make the best of it, use what is'there and make something very special. Our Municipal Building is a case in point - new building not often my choice as I think a great number of them are a sterile waste, a shock to out sensibilities. However to me this building is very pleasing, warm. quite beautiful with all the plants and the huge windows overlooking the Town. It's a vibrant living place and the people who work there reflect this'feeling. Their days "at the office" in that enviroment must energize them. Now with summer here they are able to have their lunch outside at the picnic tables or just take a cup of coffee out and sit on the lawn. It would be interesting to do a study on this and see how much more productive they are in this atmosphere rather than somewhere elset,.'This may apply to our new library too. The old lamp shown in the picture above was-found on the ground rather badly smashed, behind an antique store. It looked like a piece of junk, rusty broken and bent. I made a visit to a glass shop where a young boy took an interrest in it. He used his own judgement and repaired it. We agreed to put amber glass in it. Not an antique but not young; a great source of joy to me and I'm thankful it isn't at the bottom of the heap somewhere in a junk yard. 18 months' probation A Whitby man was recen- tly sentenced to 18 months' probation for possesion of stolen property valued over $200. James Rossler, 19, of 'm Rosedale Drive, w,-1' ted June il ' police executed : e. arch warrant at his home. Police recovered a cas- sette player, two speakers and an equalizer stolen from the car of a Brooklin resident a few davs earlier.» If you wish to help, you can call the Community Care office at 668-6223 between 9 a.m. and noon. The office is located in the old St. Ber- nard's School at 220 Dundas Street West. The office is staffed by Co-ordinator Marie Brooks, or a volunteer who will be able to tell you all about Community Care and its needs. Each month sees approxi- mately 20 clients on file. In February 1978, when Com- munity Care started, there were nine clients helped during that month. A year later, in February 1979, there were 204 clients. "No wonder we are despe- rate of volunteers," says Mrs. Crawford. Humane society receitves memorial A memoriai to a 13-year- old Port Perry girl who was killed in an accident invol- ving a horse was installed in the lobby of the Ontario Humane Society shelter on Thickson Road last week. The memorial, to Shelley- Ann Houthuys, is a framed print of horses in a stable, and bears a memorial plaque. Shelley-Ann, a young girl who loved horses, was riding her Arabian horse "Danny" at Pinewood Place last Jan- uary, when a passing snow- mobile cause the horse to buck and throw the girl to the ground. Danny stepped back and struck the girl on the side of her head. Shelley-Ann was taken to the Port Perry Hospital and transferred to the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto by helicopter. She died there without regaining conscious- ness. As a tribute to their daugh- ter's love for animals of all kinds, Willy and Nancy Houthuys turned over her bank account of $79 to the Durham Region branch of the Ontario Humane Society. The board of directors of the Durham branch decided to use the money to purchase TRAILER HITCHES and ACCESSORIES 4OSHAWA GusBrown Motors 111 Industrial Dr. Unit 6 Consumers Dr. PHONE FIND THE PRO'S Whitby Community Bingo " Javcee • Kiwanis - " Kinsmen A ENE *Optimists EVERY MONDAY NIGHT Monday, July 9, 1979.
