Members of the hospital's accident prevention committee are, from Ieft: Don Gilhoolv. Beth Morden. Lawrence Cascaiznette and Vie Snider. By Maureen Corkery The main objective of the Northumberland and New- castle Board of Education's International Year of the Child committee is to create an awareness of the rights, needs and interests of local children. The committee was initiated by the board's Women Teachers' Association and Men Teachers' Association. Teachers from all areas of the board sit on the committee as weil as two administrative representatives and trustees Emmett Creighton and AI Werry. Bonnie McBride, vice- president of the Northumber- land and Newcastle Women Teachers' Association and a teacher at Bowmanville's Vincent Massey School said in an interview this 18 the first time the trustees, teachers and admînistrators have participated ln a joint effort of thîs nature, especially one initiated by the teachers. The, committee is in the process of organizing a number of events throughout the jurisdiction to celebrate International Year of the Child. Miss McBride points out that the United Nations' Declaration of the Rights ofi the Child forms the philoso- h' hal basis for the activities eing planned. These rights are: THE RIGHT - to affection, love and understanding - to adequate nutrition and medical care )ardtheCNki - to free education - to full opportunity for play and recreation - to a namne and nationality - to special care if handi- capped - to be among the first to receive relief in times of disaster - to learn to be a useful member of society and to develop individual abilities - to be brought up in a spirit of peace and universal brotherhood - to enjoy, these rights regardless of race. color. sex, religion, nationai, ov social origin. The committee bas asked the school board for $5,O0 to be used in its promotion of Intern~ational Year of the Child. Miss McBride explain- ed this money will be set up as a fund and each school can apply for a certain amount for its particuiar pro ject. The comimittee will decide how the money is to be ailotted. This may sound like a lot of monev. said, Miss McBride. but when you figure it out it amounts to 40c a child or roughly $100 a school. _"When you consider it that way, it's not too much." Plans by the committee to date include a blood donor clinic in May and a speaker on hyperactive children March 13. Miss McBride said the Women Teachers' Association in the western area of the board.will be supporting the May 2 blood donor clînic. The hope is that during Red Cross month teachers will do theme work on the Red Cross organization and on blood donor clinics in an effort to nurture an attitude of caring for others in their young students. This Tuesday, Marcel Kinsbourne, a pediatric neurologist and child psychol- ogist at Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto will examine the causes of hyper- activity and suggest ways of handling the hyperactive child. Miss, McBride said it is hoped a speaker will be engaged for the board's eastern area as well. The week of October 22 has been designated International Year of the Child Week and October 24 will be Internation- al Year of the Child Day. During this week the commit- tee, among other things, will sponsor shopping centre dis- plays. On October 23 there is to be a special International Year of the Child broadcast on CBC. Children will be encouraged to watch this program and teachers will be asked to discuss it with them in class the next day. A list of suggested activities to celebrate the Year of the Child will be sent to ail schools and community organizations. Ideas include displays of children's artwork, choirs or gymnastics, a family activity day which could feature a bike hike, film night etc. inviting a speaker i.e. a doctor, lawyer or someone from the Ministry of Education to talk to parents on a children-related topic and holding programs of înterest to children such as a clown or THE1 ýOTTAWA VALLEY SHOW Lansdowne Park, Ottawa % MARCI 200 21,9 22, 23 *Champbonship Seed end Forage Show *Fora Madiinery end Iquipment Show * decational endl Commercial Ixhibit, *Jersey Sale - Tues.

Mr. Ruthven, at right, received the trophy from Mrs. Harris. He has been a Pioneer brand seed corn dealer in the Port Hope area for 19 years. They also stopped off at Las Vegas where Ed had more good luck at the one-armed ban- dits, winning a jackpot. puppet show. Principals or teachers could be asked to speak at local service clubs. Other suggestions include encouraging teachers to teach children about their counter- parts in other countries to engender in them an apprecia- tion of other children and other ways of 11f e and have one child in the class spotlighted each week. The child could bring photos of himself and perhaps the fruits of one of his hobbies. This makes the child feel good, does something for his self-concept and.helps us to learn something about him tno, said Miss McBrîde. A SCnoo1 mignt adopt a foster child or have events to raise money for child-oriented 9 rojects. A fun day to cele- rate the Year of the Child could also be held. The ideas are endless, said Miss McBride, and it will be up to the individual schools to see what they can do with them. Deregistering An Option for Condomninium A local condominium group is considering disbanding it- self in order to get complete benefits from the municipali- ty. 1 .Stan Pachocki, president of the board of directors for Newcastle Condominium Corporation Number Two, told the Statesman this week that his organization is dis- cussing this possibility but it has not yet ariived at any decision. Deregistering the corpora- tion was described by Mr. Pachocki as a low key issue that is in the back of some people's minds. "It (deregistration) has happened on a number of occasions," Mr. Pachocki said, However, he explained that such a move would require almost a unanimous vote of corporation members. B3y deregistering, condo- minium residents feel they would gain benefits now supplied by the municipality. These include garbage collec- tion, snow plowing and some other services which must now be financed by the condominium corporation. Deregistration means that each unit of the 44-dwelling condominium on Martin Rd. would be owned individually. Mr. Pachocki explained that each owner would have to take care of his own maintenance if the condominium corporation were disbanded. On the other hand, each owner would not have to pay regular mainten- ance fees charged by the corporation. "I think. in my own mind a lot of people wouldn't mind owning their own land," Mr. Pachocki said. SEE ME NOW!

These highhights were revealed to the P.C. Durham East Annual Meeting which was 4eld at Eastdale Collegiate in Oshawa on February 27th. The Ontario Youth Secretariat is also ini- tiating a summer em- p loyment program to back students seeking jobs. At a cost of $19 million, Explerience '79 will -provide summer employment for more than 13,500 young peo- ple. These jobs are in addition to the 10,000 positions available through regular sum- mer replacement with various provincial mini- stries. First begun in 1973, the program has grown to give an increasing number of young people a better background on whieh to base important career decisions. Span- ning a wide range of occupational interests, Experience '79 will place young people in a work environment in- tended to complement their academic interests and individual talents. To ensure equal ac-- cess to the program, guidebooks and applica- tion forms have been distributed to high schools, post-secondary placement centres, Can- ada Employment Cen- tres and YWCA-YMCA's throughout the pro- vince. Individual copies may also be obtained by writing: Ontario Exper- ience '79, Box 500, Queen's Park, Toronto, M7A MZ. By writing to the samne address you can also request a booklet entitled "The Job of Looking for a Job". This is 4 handy reference for ahl those either looking for a summer -or per_- manent job. Among the many helpful hints in making this task easier are how to compose a resume, how to make the most of an inter- view, how to seek poten- tial job opportunities and how to go after the job you want. On a hghter note, I am confident that the new or gan provided by the Oshawa Organ Centre to, the Newtonville United Church will be pleasing to the ears of Rev. Tizzard and his congre- gation. I hope that Kathy and I will have the peasure of listenng to this new organ one day.
