Ms. Spence said some people are reluctant to refer people to the program because the helpers are volunteers. volunteers. And while it's true that many of the volunteers don't have university training training in that area, it isn't true that the volunteers don't know how to help. The CIVP is a division of the Community Care program. program. Its aim is to help people going through stressful times or those who were recently released from a psychiatric hospital. People are referred to the program by public health officials, doctors, family counsellors and the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital.

STUDENTS ON PATROL Every school year teachers ask for volunteers. There are a number of jobs around the school that just wouldn't get done, or would not be done as effectively if it weren't for the students volunteering their time. When a traffic safety problem is perceived by a school administrator there are a number of preventative measures he or she can take. One appropriate measure might be forming a School Safety Patrol. If enough volunteers volunteers are available among the students, assistance in forming forming a patrol is available from the School Board, The Canadian Canadian Automobile Association, and the police. At the present time a total of approx. 65 schools in Durham Region have school safety patrols. But, let's first look into the history of school patrols. In the early twenties, the motor car was fast becoming a popular mode of business and pleasure. Along with this popularity came a noticeable increase in the number of accidents involving children in the four to fourteen age group. Law enforcement a- gencies soon found their manpower manpower resources stretched to the limit when they were deluged deluged with requests to provide adequate protection for the school child. As far as can be ascertained, ascertained, the School Safety Patrol movement was born in the years 1921-22. The results were startling. In Chicago, patrols were organized in 1922. From that date through to 1950, child fatalities dropped 62 percent while fatalities in other age groups increased 43 percent. This is all the more amazing, considering the 700 percent increase in motor vehicle vehicle registration in that city. The credit for this remarkable record is attributed directly to the work of the patrols and safety instruction by the teachers and parents. Crossing Crossing the international border in the early thirties, Canadians, Canadians, young and old, immediately immediately recognized the potential potential and accepted the system. system. With the passing of time some extra and unexpected benefits came to light. The patrollers themselves developed developed qualities of responsibility and leadership. The children they assisted learned to trust them and be obedient at crossings. crossings. In addition a good relationship relationship was built up between the law enforcement officers and the patroller. As the system grew, so grew the support. Government, motor clubs, P.T.A., home and school associations, service clubs, school boards, along with many other organizations, organizations, actively supported this worthwhile group. Over 60 years have passed and, with slight variations from time to time, the system and the people are basically the same as when first organized.

It is significant to note that since its inception in the United States and Canada, there has never been a fatal accident to a child while under the care of patrols...a record unequalled in any other phase of the safety field. Patrols are now in operation in 21 countries countries throughout the world with the same outstanding results results experienced in Canada and the United States. The functions of the School Safety Patrol are:- Foot Patrol. To instruct, direct, and control students in crossing the roadways at or near schools. Bus Patrol. To help the drivers of school buses maintain maintain a high standard of safety when transporting children to and from schools. Bus and foot patrollers when on duty wear a Hourescent orange, waist and shoulder belt so they can be easily recognized by drivers and students alike. Foot patrollers work from the sidewalk or shoulder of the roadway , and never stop or direct traffic. A driver approaching an area where a child in uniform is present, should SLOW DOWN and be extra cautious, since children will be crossing at that location. And, if you as a parent walk your child to school, set a good example when using a patrol location by co-operating with the patroller on duty. Explain to your child that the patroller is there to help and to watch for his or her directions. As you can see, patrollers are doing an important and worthwhile job out there. It's up to us to make sure we and our children are co-operative and cautious at their patrol locations. This way we can continue to build on that impressive impressive safety record that they have already achieved. nob BULOVA CLOCK SALE! SAVE 10% >--u' v?
