KING CITY â€" Twenty volunteers of the Canadian Cancer Society met last week to hear campaign chairman Pam Ledell outline activities for the annual April campaign. Acknowledging that if a retired person earns even a small salary, he loses pension and other benefits, Miss Holmested believes he can still contribute to society through volunteer work. “Thzit’s the only \Jay to create a good image of aging in society." If that cén improve, she believes, so will the general treatment of old people and the quality of government policies which affect them. 77 “Senior cifizens are beginning to get off their rocking chairs and get active," she says. In Ontario, these seniors have an active and ar~ ticulate spokesman in Hope Holmested, a Rich- mond Hill resident who is chairman of the provincial govemment‘s advisory council on senior citizens. As head of the 19-member council, which reports to the secretariat for social development, Miss Holmested is vitally concerned with improving the image of aging. The fact, of course, is that the overwhelming majority of senior citizens have not outlived their value â€"â€" and they want and deserve something better than an uneventful retirement which simply passes the time until death. Juvenile Boys â€" Shane Snell 2nd. Juvenile Girls â€" Stephanie McKim It’s not much like that any more. A youth- dominated culture has little time, little feeling for the generation considered to have outlived it‘s value to society. Not too many decades ago, an old person in North America was one who had reached the epitome of life, who had earned respect, dignity, affection, prestige.

Not only do funds from these organizations help to fund research to prevent disease, but they also provide care, transportation and rehabilitation services. Anyone who has had any member of the family affected knows only too well how important these services are. Children from schools in the area will be asking for sponsors for pins knocked down. The minimum pledge will be $1, and each child taking part will have a drink and some potato chips provided by the club. These types of charity drives are good not only for the funds they provide, but for the enâ€" couragement it gives to young people to think and do for others less fortunate than themselves. Correspondent Marion Hohener 889-6653 RICHMOND HILL â€" There will be much knocking on doors during the next few weeks by campaigners for the heart fund and the cancer society. Another group of door-knockers will be a younger variety. The Canadian Progress Club is sponsoring a “B0wlathon” with proceeds going to the children's ward of York Central Hospital. Fun dâ€"raism g groups seeking your support community news Iihtral Wednesday, February 18, 1976 This, the council realizes, “will require a greater understanding and considerable effort by people of all ages.” The advisory council, she says, is optimistic â€" and ambitiousâ€" in its basic goal: “to help create a province in which it is possible to grow old with dignity and a sense of usefulness...where people have concern for the other and rejection is no longer acceptable.” “Those who do not fear growing old'are those who have known their grandparents, who have associated with older people,“ Miss Holmested says. “We’d like to bridge the generation gap," she says, but it’s getting harder all the time in today's mobile society: More and more Canadian children don't even have contact with their own grand- parents. “Older people are extremely limited if they don’t have contact with younger people...They just get cut off." And by the same token, the lack of inter- gelpgyation gongact is_harmful for the young as well. Miss Holmested reports the council has also held public meetings in several communities and has conducted research and opinion polls on various subjects. It‘s a sharp-looking, readable paper which goes to every pensioner in Ontario. Its articles â€" on topics ranging from tax credits to loneliness â€" are all of import to seniors, and have sparked a lively dialogue with the readers. Institutions are abundant in the Swedish system, the council found out, but “everybody is over- protected. The system takes away their choice, supposedly for their own good." The English system, which recognizes the need for home care, was found to be far more humanistic and the council hopes Ontario will follow its example. Andther major project of the council is the publication, three times a year, of a tabloid-size neyspappr ca_lleq»Especially for Seniors. There‘s such a thing as too much protection, Miss Holmested believes, and this was confirmed in the view of a council representative who investigated care-for-theaged services in England and Sweden. It's old news With professional activity days costing the taxpayer an estimated $ll/z million per year and teacher salary negotiations coming up again, it is understandable why the taxpayer pays the largest share for education costs. Birchall in his letter, urges everyone to contact the trustees or regional councillors. Apparently people seldom call school trustees regarding ex- penditures. Joy Horton, trustee for Markham, has warned recently in the press that the education taxes will probably be increased again for 1976. Mrs. Horton was on the negotiating team which gave the teachers up to 43 per cent pay in- creases last year. John Birchall, councillor for Ward 3, recently issued a newsletter to residents. He explained that the town collects taxes for three bodies: the Town of Richmond Hill â€" 37 per cent of the total tax in 1975; the Region â€" 13.7 per cent of the total; and the York County Board of Education â€" 49.3 per cent. to the principal of your school or directly to the President, Roselawn Association, 422 Carrville Road. hill ward 3 Section C Oct. 21, 1805 Battle of Trafalgar, where Horatio Nelson defeated the French and Spanish fleets but lost his own life.
