Values 'll to Wi New Horizons could not provide money for capital construction or for tran- sport, she said. The em- phasis would also have to be on volunteer staff. Sylvia Moustacalis, for New Horizons, said that organization would provide a lump sum to get a co-op started, when it was clear that any scheme suggested had the organization and helpers to keep it going, efficiently. Lorraine Bald- win described the food co-op she helped to set up in the Ontario Housing Corporation complex in Alexandra Park. She said orders-for fresh produce only-were taken two days in advance. Once a Mark Pfaff, of Community Care, said there was no food co-op in North York and the large number of seniors who attended the meeting, in response to newspaper advertisements, showed there was a great need and enthusiasm for such a project. A food co-op , operated for and by senior citizens has worked successfully for about three years on Kingston Road, Scarboro. The meeting at Wil, lowdale United Church, was called by Community Care Services, a Metro umbrella organization linking volunteer service agencies, and by New Horizons, which provides federal funds to help establish senior citizen projects. In an effort to beat soaring food prices, more than 100 senior citizens met Friday in North York to discuss setting up their own non-profit co- operative food store. Seniors consider non-profit co-op to beat food costs classified: 24 1-5211 Metrospan Publishing Limited publishes newspapers m Scarboro and North York, Ontario.

Mrs. Flairbloom said Yonge Street, where new seniors apartment blocks were going up, would be an ideal spot for a co-op. But some means would have to be found she said, for stopping younger people "coming in cars to take the best stuff before the seniors can get there, as had been experienced in the Scarboro co-op." Several seniors at the meeting pointed out the problems of setting up such a store in North York would be greater than in a housing complex, since seniors in the borough were spread out over a large area, many were unable to carry loads any distance and TTC facilities were limited. Pfeff drew attention to the high level of rents in central locations and suggested a church basement or school might be loaned. if school rooms would be available more than once a week. Sa.die Flairbloom, of 35 Park Home Street, doubted Jack Wallace, of Wil- lowdale Manor, thought a hall could be rented for the co-op in a centrally-located spot. week a van loaned to the co- op picks up goods at the Ontario food terminal at 9 arm Volunteers sort out individual orders, which are picked up by noon, she said at prices 25 per cent lower than in regular stores. editorial: 241-5211
