PAGU;. li), TIlt RSI)AYO'R5, 1972, WIIITHY iRE'L PRESS How Young Is A Senior Citizen? How young is a Senior Citizen? Can 1 do more than one activity? Thiese are sonie of the ques- tions that Senior Citi- zens are asking about their fait prograrn organ- ized by the Whitby Rec- reation Dept. Mrs. Crawford who is coordinating the Recre- ation Dept. Program re- ports that fromi the catis she lias received there is definite interest in thie activities. She invites anyone who would tike further information to cati lier at 668-5803 ex- tensioni 64 on Monday, Wednesday, anîd Friday m-orings. "The more catis the better" said Mrs. Crawford "i( means people are realty inter- ested and niaybe tlîis winter will be more ac- tive and mneanfingful for many older people in our town."' The hardest question that Mrs. Crawford lias hiad to answer to date lias been "how young is a Senior Citizen?" The Recreation Dept. is fol- lowing these guidetines: its Senior Citizen pro- gramnes are designied pri- marily for those people 60 and over, however for activities that have' no tirnit on the number of people involved (tike square dancing or bowl- ing) people in their late fifties wlîo are retired are invited to vartici- pate. Wlhcn only a num- ber of people can be in- votved, as in a pottery class, people 60 and over will have first choice. Siuice the trend toward carty retiremient is ac- ceterating, there are peo- pie with a large amount of' teisure timie at an car- lier age tlian ever before. Activities and programies stîoutd inctude ttîis age bracket as tiiere is often a real need to stay active whien f'aced withi retire- ment after years of working. Anothier common question concerns trans- portation provided for every program. M rs. Crawford expiains "it's silty to organize things for people wien they can't get there'." Votun- teer drivers -wiIt pick uip anyone needing a ride to any of' the activities- just cail 668-5803, ext. 64 and give yotir nîim and address. It is not necessary to register in advance for bowling or square danc- ing. Just keep the date, time and place in mind#- Since the pottery ciassý is limited to 15 people, please cati 668-5803, ext. 64 to register. The $6.00 féee will be col- lected in two parts; $3.00 on October l6tlî to cover the first four weeks, and $3.00 on Novem ber I 3th to cover the Iast four weeks.
