The special week will host a multitude of activities in- volving both young and old. This year's theme is *"'Cele- brate Living", and stresses the joy and stimulation of life. The week, sponsored by the Ontario Government through the Ministry of Community and social Ser- vices and the Canadian In- stitute for Religion and Ger- ontology, marks the pro- vince's ninth annual senior citizens' celebration. During the seven-day per- iod, seniors across the pro- vince will speak about aging, hobbies and various inter- ests at schools, churches and synagogues. Plans also are being made to have homes for the aged, senior citizens' centres, local governments and community groups run special activities such as bazaars, garden parties, and variety shows. Organizers of Senior Citizens' Week are encouraging people of all ages to take part in the celebrations. It is hoped that many children will become involved in the activities in this, the International Year Liberals & Library (From page 6) insult. If you felt you must men- tion the Liberals why not remind people of the excel- lent international relations Canada enjoys under Liberal government and how we are known as a reliable neutral power famed for our peace keeping role? Your 'cheap shot" at the Liberals is another facet of the kind of press we had in Canada in the May Election. Let me quote Dalton Camp's column Toronto Star June 8, 1979 to show another side. 'The editorial pages of a nearly universal press declared a moratorium on attempting any critical analysis of Con- servative policy intentions during the-campaign". Moratoriums and insults are not good journalism. " Now to the issues of the Library, the Lake property and the Municipal building. Most people seem to be against building at the Lake. But the Library needs to be larger. My proposal would be to re-locate the Bowling Green on the Lake property, enlarge the Library west, make parking available at the north of the Library and Bowling Green but land- scape along the creek and along the street side of the old Green to hide the parking area. No one wants to look down on a parking lot. I can envisage a lovely little park with steps down to it where some benches could be placed for people to rest, especially those who walk the hill. With the landscap- ing we have to-day much could be done to enhance a green area where we have always had one. The balance of the Lake property could be kept as park and the Munici- pal Building be enlarged when needed on the property now owned, to the North. This is the bare skeleton of a plan but one I think could please a great many people. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to express my opinions. Yours truly, Patricia Love R.R.2, Port Perry of the Child. Although the special event officially lasts a week the celebration of living will con- tinue year-round for thous- ands of seniors. Seventy-two-year-old Merle Law of London, Ontar- io is proof of this. Since Miss Law retired 10 years ago, she has become founder and chairman of London's Sen- iors Bureau, an organization of 25 seniors who volunteer their time to provide an information service for other senior citizens. The organization does not depend on special grants to survive. Instead, it main- tains its operation by assist- ing seniors in filling out their income tax forms and charg- ing a small fee. During this year's Senior Citizens' Week, the bureau will operate an information booth in a Lon- don shopping mall. } As the week progresses, many seniors will have the opportunity to find and de- velop new interests. Many will learn additional skills from their counterparts and also establish new friend- ships. The week has a practical side because it teaches people about the years of retirement. "It is very important that we think about retirement before we get there," offers Miss Law. 'People about to retire should try to develop other interests, so they can enjoy their later years. They must not leave themselves high and dry. In retirement, there is freedom to express new interest." Seniors across the pro- vince have contributed sub- stantially to Ontario's reality and heritage. Many of them continue to offer their exper- ience after retirement. Post- ers have been distributed to communities throughout the province as a reminder of the week and to stimulate all people's involvement.
