CONCERTED PROGRAM THE STARS SAY By ESTRELLITA Incidentally, in Battle Creek's high schools, there is a concerted program for helping poor read- ers to improve. Hope is sug- gested for many parents whose children lag in reading. Let us remember that parents have a strong motive to seek out- side help for their children if they are not getting adequate help in reading at school. But let us re- member, too that both research and common observation reveal that many a bright child is a poor FOR TOMORROW Resist any temptation to "skip class" or let down in your ef- forts this day.

Richard- son of the Central Volunteer Bu- reau of Metropolitan Toronto's social planning committee. Today volunteers come from every walk of life and span a greater age group than formerly. Most of the more than 2,000 vol- unteers who pass through her -of- lice each year are women be- tween 25 and 55 but there are also many university students, ween-age girls, men and boys. The volunteers do dozens of Jobs. Some women work in child sealth centres where they weigh and measure children and handle appointments; other volunteers assist with hobbies in club groups; some staff shops and work as receptionists in hospitals, ii many work with older peo- ple. MUST BE PUNCTUAL Listing the qualifications for a good volunteer, Mrs. Richardson reliability and punctuality first. "The qualifications for a good volunteer don't differ greatly from those for a good employee," Mrs. Richardson explained. The bureau's function is to act as a registry agency for other groups which require volunteer workers from time to time. Most people become volunteers because of a sincere desire to help others, Mrs. Richardson said, adding that many come from those who do not belong to organized clubs. SECOND JOB "We try to remind people that the volunteer job is a second job." Volunteers were urged to take a realistic view of their present activities before deciding ® whether they had time to take on the extra work. For example, an office girl who goes to night school two nights a week and leaves town on week- ends has used up five nights and "we point out that this leaves her little time for study or dating." There is seldom a problem with volunteers who are not suitable. ® "They are not usually happy with the work and quit." § EEE RERER LEAN, MINCED CHUCK STEAK Ib. 59° LEAN, GROUND ROUND STEAK Ih. 69° CUT-UP CHICKEN Lean, Sliced LEGS THIGHS, | COOKED BREASTS .49: | HAM WINGS .29° 1h.
