from sept 30 until oct 3 mr mann has over 4000 inside entries to register and tag as well as a mammoth livestock section to look after however he says that by opening day somehow it all miraculously falls into place the real crunch according to him occurs on the day immediately after the fair therell be about 3000 people all demanding their prize money at once said mr mann nobody un derstands whats in volved mr manns background left him well- equipped to deal with anything that may come up during the staging of the bulging at the seams fair he has been active as a fair director since 1957 and served on many committees before ac cepting the post as general manager in 1974 prior to that he had been a 4h leader and cattle judge as well as manager of ringwood farms a huge beef cattle operation- hospital to recover from injuries that- would have killed a lesser man and he was pronounced unfit for heavy labour but mr mann resumed his job at ringwood until his retirement in 1969 he became more involved in the fair finally ending up as the first fulltime manager of the evergrowing event we expect even more classes next year said the untiring mann he seems to see nothing unusual in planning next years fair while still totally snowed volunteers sought to work as probation officers in the area in october of 1957 he under in the details of the current was one of the victims in atragic accident when the tractor he was driving was struck from behind by a car his companion harold painter- was j stoufeville iirr jjenderandalso to make volunteers are now being sure the volunteer has no recruited in the stouff- ulterior motives we just want them to be human beings mr- osterveer explained we dont want them to be necessarily social workers the volunteer- is expected to make a one year commitment but if he or she experiences any difficulties they can turn to the professional officer for help atany time a brief monthly report is expected from the volunteer and beyond that they only have to make themselves available to the probationer volunteers have had a greataffect according to mr osterveer because there are now 19 they can gain the trust volunteers and mr and friendship of a osterveer hopes to double probationer in a way that that number accordingly professional probation a three session training officer rarely can ville markham area to act as unpaid parttime probation officers m ini s t ry o f correctional services expanded the volunteer program last winter from dealing with just juvenile offenders to handling probationers in all age groups jack osterveer senior probation officer told the- tribune that although volunteers of all ages and both sexes are required there is an especially pressing need for people willing to work with youngmale of- fenders the probationer is encouraged to call the volunteer if any problems arise the volunteer should help him sort out his priorities saidmr osterveer once a person becomes a friend then he sticks by them even if they are having prpblems it might be the first time somebody stuck by them or was consistent in dealing with them the only re- muneration for volunteers is the feeling of selfsatisfaction they get from the job he said for further in formation call cindy tracey at 8951900 or887- 5893 four or five volunteers are needed in stouffville and the same number are required in the markham area organizing one yes its a lot of work he admittedbut when you see them lined up eight wide outsideyou killed and mr mann was sort of get a good feeling unconscious fo27days and figure

seheduledfor sometime near the end of the month presently all the volunteers are from the yonge st corridor areas of thornhil richmond hill and newmarket i 1 the purpose of the volunteer program according to mr osterveer is a two- pronged thing a volunteer will hrve more time to spend twith a probationer than a professional probation officer and can help reduce the officers case load to manageable proportions- currently the ratio is about 80 probationers to each officer and until recently it was- 100 to one the other reason is that a volunteer can develop a more humanistic relationship to his charge they can meet privately away from the parole board offices f- j the volunteer cam build up a relationship mr osterveer said where volunteers get their reward is making contact with these people and developing a befriending role he vxnunuedc ij v j aone to one role is not necessary he said and volunteers can look after two to eight he said that volun teers have helped their charges find jobs helped them avoid losing jobs located accommodation and provided general backup i mr osterveer said many of the problems probationers have in- volve relatively minor things such as not knowing how td act or dress when applying for a job how to arrangeap- pointments or keep a schedule voulunteers he said have beeni in valuable in helping probationers over these seemingly minor hurdles the volunteer and probationer meet i before being assigned to each other and both parties must agree to try working together the majority of of fenders are in their early 20s and theft related offences are most common among women shoplifting and fraud are the most popular crimes drug related cases are fairly common and ac cording to mr osterveer sex crimes are the least common volunteers are not pressured and throughout the three session training program they can bow outvat vfi any mime following the program the volunteer is expected totakethe initiative in
