Students will learn from prepared material formation gathered in a ment decisions' on grants. legislation, and even Members of Parliament how important the in- census is for govern- the number ' of we have. census forms. Mr. Carroll noted that it would be an excellent opportunity for children and parents to learn together and practise good citizenship in the process.

A survey is being run to determine the need for special transportation for the disabled. The association also is forming a social club with. Lalonde says, six objectives. To provide an opportunity for the handicapped citizens to meet on a regular basis. To assist handicapped people with any problems thev may face due to their handicap, family benefit rights, recreational needs, and so on. To develop a recreational program that will provide an outlet for handicapped citizens to achieve happiness and to continue personal growth. first priority of new group To increase public awareness towards the needs of handicapped citizens. To sive handicapped citizens, through their own collective efforts and leadership, the opportunity to better conditions in their community, both for themselves and for others, and the opportunity to be recognized and to be integrated into their community, thereby strengthening their com- munitv. To utilize a transportation system. The social club's purpose is to reach han- dicanned citizens who would normally not be in- volved in the mainstream of community life and to provide an environment of social friendship and interaction with other handicapped citizens. On Feb. 15 the association, which is still organized itself, applied for a grant from the International Year of the Disabled Committee in Ottawa. a committee set up in recognition of 1981 as the United Nation's Year of the Physically Disabled. The association's temporary office is at 9A Simeoe Street, Penetanguishene (526-2702). The mailing address is Huronia Handicapped Association, Box 621, Penetanguishene, Ontario. LOK 1P0.

People know the lanes as what they are now and it tends to be confusing if there is a and T have had three different addresses. I don't know what I want to see a change now because of the trouble. I wouldn't want to see it change the names of the town's lanes? The town's eight lanes have had their unofficial names for years, in some cases decades. The main point in favour of name changes is that confusion would no longer result from having a lane with the same name as a nearby street. e.g. Robert Street and Robert Lane. change is made, as well as predicting confusion. Jeannette Tracey Thev wouldn't be changing the names drastically. Just. one name fo another. It doesn't seem to have a purpose. The old people of this town are con- fused enough without thal sort of thing. Denis Marchildon I live on Robert Lane changed. Marg Boucher I believe that the peonle who live on the lanes would like to see the names stay as they are known by that name. That's where you changed. Andy Dupuis wt doesn't matter to .
