) v Î Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 14,1984 Identification Program Held at Bowmanville Mall Close to 600 Bowmanville and area youngsters were photographed and fingerprinted fingerprinted last Saturday. And although a few of the younger ones cried when they had to place their hands in black ink, .everybody .everybody who took part in the Child Identification Program Program offered at the Bowmanville Bowmanville Mall went away satisfied. satisfied. The project is part of a local effort aimed at giving all parents a child identification identification card that can be used in an emergency. Karen McKeown, chairman chairman of the Block Parent Committee at St. Stephen's School, explained last week that the Child Identification Identification Program is offered by the Durham Region Civitan Club in co-operation with the local Block Parents. The parents were charged a one dollar fee to obtain an identity card containing containing the child's name along with the photo and hand prints (foot prints were used to identify very small children). "The card is always in control of the parents," said Mrs. McKeown. She explained that there is only one copy of each card and it is to be kept in a safe place with Mom and Dad. In an emergency, a child's picture picture and fingerprints would give police the head start they need in finding a missing missing child or conducting some other investigation. Edward Dunn, a spokesman spokesman for the Durham Region Civitan Club, said Saturday that his group has provided cards to parents of approximately approximately 3,000 children thus far. Child identification programs have been offered offered in Oshawa and Port Hope already. In the future, the club will take its photography photography and fingerprinting equipment to Uxbridge, Pickering, and back to Oshawa. As well as providing material material that may be useful to police, Mr. Dunn believes the identification cards also serve another useful purpose. Standing in line to be fingerprinted and photographed photographed helps a child think about the dangers he must avoid in day-to-day life. "It's a little bit of street-proofing as well," said Mr. Dunn. "It makes the children think why they are doing this." Parents who missed the Child Identification Day held at the Bowmanville Mall on Saturday can look for the Block Parents, Civitan Civitan Club and other volunteers volunteers to arrange a return visit in the near future. "I'm pleased as punch with the turn-out," said Mr. Dunn. "I expected a good turn-out and I'm pleased." He added that the Child Identification program will continue "indefinitely".
