Mr, Drygala said his interests have been mainly with social welfare, inter-ethnic organiza- tions, army and veteran groups. A Canadian citizen of Polish origin, Mr, Drygala said he is asking the support of all Cana- dians, irrespective of origin. "I pledge to them that I will use all my energy and knowl- edge in representing them, to the best of my ability," said Mr: Drygala. He outlined part of his plat- form as follows: 1._Municipal taxes -- 'I would endeavor to study the tax sys- tem and if possible try to stem the rising trend of same. I would see to it that the money collected would be used spar-} ingly and economically, in the} most beneficial way. --| 2.

Although the committee was impressed with the facilities available, Mr. Walker said it was not complete: "There is much to be done, particularly in the fields of housing and recreation for lei- sure time." He said further that the com- munity should take the first steps in the forming of a pro- gram to provide for the elderly. One of the facilities that im- |pressed him, he said, was low- rental housing projects in Wind- sor, It is done in that city by providing houses for the elder in the neighborhoods in whi they always lived. A second project was a high- rise apartment complex, which housed elderly people at rerits geared to their respective in- comes. "This type of building has considerably advantages when who have been regular donors will be very welcome. Anyone who has never donated before, either in Oshawa or elsewhere, will be welcomed. It is the new donors, those who have never donated before who help to keep up our panel donors which is so megessary if we are to keep our bank supplied so that all needing transfusions can get them. "The next Clinic will be held at St. Gregory's Auditorium on Thursday, November 5, from 1.30 to 4.30 in the afternoon and from 6.0 to 9.00 in the even- ing."

The Select Committee also visited the Senior Citizens Re- creation Centre in Windsor. This centre, operating each day, has an average attendance of 115 daily, and a registration of 800, Mr. Walker said. ; A full-time director, with vol- untary help, administers the building and its facilities. "The United Automobile Work- ers Auxtfiary is a strong suppor- ter of this centre," Mr, Walker said. "The United appeal pro- vides general expenses for it." In London, the senior Citizens Centre was administered by the City Recreation Department. The facilities, he said, were similar to those in Windsor, with the addition of a choir. "I am more than ever con- vinced," Mr. Walker concluded, "that we, as citizens of any community, must insist that the needs of our elderly citizens are met. We. the people, must care."
