For Big Sisters Organizatio Big Brothers in North Simcoe may have met their match. The Quota Club of Huronia and the Huronia Social Planning Council co- sponsored an_ information meting on Sunday on the p@ ibility of establishing a ¥ /Sisters organization in this area. The Big Brothers organization was established last year, with the aim of helping to prevent juvenile delinquency and to support youth in finding an identity, Big Brothers publicity director Gary Westgarth told the meeting. Through the organization "'we provide not ,just an image for the youth, but friendship, reassurance, and love", he said. By matching a fatherless boy with a 'big brother', he pointed out, the boy is able to participate in a constructive telationship with an adult. A number of inquiries have come to big brothers about the possibility of finding big sisters for motherless girls or girls in trouble in some way, Westgarth said. The Big Brothers organization he added, would welcome a counterpart organization and would assist in its establishment. "T know we have girls who are in need", OPP com- munity service officer Chuck Colson said. A Big Sisters organization is "something that we need"'. - Director of the Guelph Big Sisters organization, Cathy Collett, outlined programs offered in the Guelph area for girls in a variety of parental and social situations.

Atless than nine years old, girls are not really ready to establish a close relationship with an adult woman, and therefore girls between the ages of 9 and 16 are con- sidered in the Guelph Big Sisters program, she said. The girls' personalities - vary "from one extreme to another". A quiet and with- drawn girl Big Sisters would probably match with a woman who is more out- going and who could possibly bring the young girl out. But there are not very many women who feel capable of handling a girl at the other extreme, a very outgoing problem girl, she pointed out. But the problems must be worked out on that one-on- one basis, through friend- ship, understanding, and giving, on the part of the Big Sister. The Big Sister, she said, should be easy-going, open-minded, someone who can relate to the needs and values of others, and who could be able to control her own emotional involvement. A healthy motivation would be essential in a big sister, she stressed. Collett outlined a number of alternative ways to begin programs. From all indications on Sunday, it looks like Big Sisters is not only needed, but wanted in North Simcoe. At rummage sale The Senior Citizens of Midland held a rum- mage sale last week.
