The tel ephonie is just about ringing of, the hook at the Town of Newcastle's new community care centre for senior citizens. "It's going so well that I have to tell myseif to calm down," says the centre's co-ordinator Diane Hamre. Since the volunteer service to seniors opened on October 3, a total of 72 volunteers have registered at the office offering to help out with work ranging from answering the lephone to doing repairs at their 1Somes. "The response from volunteers has been just fantastic," she also said in an interview. There has been no difficulty in meeting the requests with volunteer registrations increasing everyday, just as fast. 1The Bowmanville office is the third that the Durham Rýegional Care Unit has opened since the program began last August. Offices in Oshawa, Scugog and Whitby are also in the planning stages so that communitycare is spread across the region's boundaries. Aimed at elderly people who want to. stay in their homes but are hampered with transportation prob- lems or difficulties with household tasks, the program provides them with an option to senior citizens residences. The centre operates on a shoe string budget of $9,000 and shares in a provincial budget of $63,000 to the regional unit to offset the costs or salaries and rent. But salaries are only a minor item in an agency that provides most of its services through volunteers. The large group of volunteers who have rallied to help seniors cope with everyday problems that some- times are difficult for the elderly to face have been a great boost in the senior citizens' community, the co-ordinator said. A drive to the doctor's office or a handyman to help with repairs is all that it takes to remove some of the worries that afflict retired residents. The most effective way that a volunteer can help is through social calîs either by telephone or personal visit. Just showing that someone is thinking about them by a phone cal is the most direct means of demonstrating concern, Mrs. Hamre maintains., The office at 6 King St. East also meets the need for older people to have a place specifically for their own, use. For those shopping downtown, they can drop in at the centre instead of stopping for a break in a restaurant. The office is open from 9 a. m. to 12 noon, Monday to Friday. The volunteers, however, are willing to work at any reasonable hour to provide the town's senior citizens, with the services they need.
