Staffing Is Problem In County Homes For Aged School Is Told Fairview Lodge, Ontario County's m icent Home for the Aged, tby, is the scene of the first course of instruction ever held for home for the aged personnel. The school is sponsored by the Homes for the Aged B: Department of Public Welfare, and superintendents and matrons from all over the province have come to Whitby for instruction. OUTLINES PROBLEMS Representing the Department of the School are L. E. Ludlow, Di- rector of Homes for the Aged, and L. McQuarrie, supervisor of the same Branch, In a statement re- leased by Mr, Ludlow regarding the purpose of the courses, he ob- served that although there had been significant progress in providing in- creased accommodation and higher standards of care in these homes, an important question of staffing has arisen. He points out that when it comes to the selection of a superintendent for a home, there is no established source of supply from which an experienced per- son can be obtained. He adds that it is also difficult for present sup- erintendents and staff members to keep themselves informed as to the most recent developments in the field of caring for older persons. It is hoped, says Mr. Ludlow, that the proposed course of instruction and in-service training will supply a solution to these questions. He says that it is hoped that the course will enable newly personnel to avail themselves of the experi- ence and knowledge that has n gained in the field and will also pro vide an opportunity for discussions and pooling of experience of those already in the field. OFFICIALS PRESENT Present at Fairview Lodge for the opening of the course and an in spection of the home were Warden eber Down, Reeve Rae Ferg- uson, of Uxbridge, chairman of the Home for the Committee, of Ontario County; Deputy-reeve Ken- neth Lee, of Whitby, a member of the County committee; Ald.

Coronation Park WillOpen June 2 Coronation Park the name chosen for the Whitby sports field development. This develop- ment is a tract of land approxi- mately 4% acres in size, situatéd directly west of Hillcrest School. The Whitby Public School Board, who own this property have placed it in the hands of a committee to develop a community sports field. The original committee appointed by the Public School Board con- sisted of two members, each, from the Board, the Kinsmen Club, 'Rotary Club and the Baseball Association. To enlarge this com- mittee all local organizations have been contacted and representa- tives have been appointed. The object of the committee is to de- velop the park so it will be suit- able for all sports. It could also be used for community entertainment such as band concerts etc. Pres- ent facilities are inadequate, Coronation Park was chosen as an appropriate name for the site. The gates at the entrance to the park will be dedicated, by the school children, to the memory of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It is intended to have the park ready by June 2nd, in order that part of the formal functions of the Coronation celebration may be held there, a flag for the park is being donated by the IODE. . The features of this park will be modern in every respect. Com- fortable seating for 1,000 people will provided. Public washrooms and a refreshment booth will also be erected. On completion of this project a permanent committee will be ap- pointed to supervise the up-keep and operation, leaving no burden on the Town Council. As this park will be for the use of everyone in the town, primarily the children, the committee is seek- ing the whole-hearted support of every citizen in its proposed can- vass.
