Miss Iliohan is King’s first recreation co-ordinator and if she wore “office” hats she would be wearing a number of different ones for each of her positions. She's alone. “I'm my own public relations officer, secretary, advertiser, guest speaker, and so on.” she was saying the other day in her small-but-bright cubicle at the iting Township municipal of- 1ce. ' She enjoys it but does admit that she gets tough with her secretary sometimes when she doesn't do things right. Miss Iliohan, more or less. created her own "position" as co-ordinator a year ago when she convinced members of the township's recreation com- mittee there was a need for her in that field.

The Children's AM was fiounded in Toronto in 1891 as a private agency to assist waifs found neglected or abandoned in the streets. The m o v e me nt spread throughout the province and now there is a society in every area. During the years the Child Welfare Branch and the so- cieties have developed a close “relationship. The two are colleagues. united in their concern for Ontario’s children. This is a rare kind of partnership in which gov- ernment and private agen~ cies work together in a com- mon cause. After the fiLm which sti- mulated many questions, Mrs. Taylor answered queries which pentained to child abuse, foster parenltin-g, ad’opâ€" tions, etc. Mrs. 'Daylor said that very few infants (child- ren up to 5 years of age) are available for adoption. Boys in the nine to 12 year age group are nine children most in need of homes. rI‘his is because trha¢ most persons, wrongly she 'believes. think that girls are easier to raise and of course girls do not carry on the family name. Foster parents for teenagers are in great demand. In all, it was a very in'te- resting discussion and en- joyed by all. Mrs. Taylor was thanked for coming by Don- na Matthews. mittee and suggested the idea of co-ordinating some recrea- tional activities in the‘ munici- pality and in particular taking up a survey to find out the needs if any. She was already attending Humber College on a recrea- tion course and it all worked in with her plans. NEED PROVEN What the survey did was con- vince the committee a full-time co-ordinator was a necessity and Miss Illohan just happened to be available for the job. “So here I am,” she saj “It’s a year later and I'm st doing things by trial and e ror. But I feel I'm accom lishing what I set out to do." Miss Iliohan admits the job has entailed more than she or- iginally envisaged. such as a lot of paper work as well as “run- ning” around the municipality and making speeches two or three times a week to groups who are interested. “I’m basically a shy person," she said, “but I do enjoy get- ting out and talking to all kinds of people and explaining what my purpose is."

RECREATION PHILOSOPHY Her philosophy? “I realize that King is dif- ferent from other places and for that reason I am consid- ered a recreation co-ordinator. My philosophy of recreation here is that such programming and planning has to be co-ord- inated between the people of the communities and the rec- reation department. “If the call is present for an activity, and if the resources and facilities available. then in- stitute a program. This is what is happening now with the pro- grams that we are offering and they are quite successful con- sidering recreation is new to the residents of King Town- ship.” She further states that “rec- reation, in many areas, has be- come big business and over- organized. And in my mind this should not happen in King Township as it is a beautiful and peaceful township and rural.
