On Tuesday, Mr. and Mrs. Venner ventured back 'to their Seagrave home after a whole winter in the south. April meeting of U.C.W. was held on Wednesday evening with Mrs. Keen conducting the worship ser- vice. Others taking part were: Mrs. Ken Short (prayer), Mrs. Hurst (scrip- ture) Mrs. Reg. Abraham and Mrs. Tobin (duet) and Mrs. Boe (Easter topic). Reports heard during the business session with Mrs, Rae Abraham in charge included the information that the ladies were inthe black to the amount of $495, that 1 sick box and 1 card had been sent and 1 visit made. Plans for the Spring luncheon to be held on Wed., April 25 at 12:30 were given a final going over. The floor painting job didn't get done because of the damp- ness but there will be another try this week. The sectional rally is to be held in Childrens Aid Society (continued) or visits her doctor. People of all ages are needed to help out addressing greeting cards or doing other clerical work in the office. Some go into residences and organize book clubs or other cultural activities. "Senior citizen volunteers help make our services better known to the com- munity," says Bev Muir. CASE AIDS NEEDED The volunteer program also rp to act as case aids, or assistants to the professional staff. Some case aids are married or retired professional people who are not prepared to take on a full time job, but volunteer so they can keep active. People who start off as drivers are sometimes pro- moted to case aids after they have undergone the training that is available to volun- teers and shown genuine ability and concern, Bev says. The need for volunteers is shown by statistics which indicate that the society budget only allows for a staff of 30 professional social workers who are responsible for keeping track of nearly 800 children across the county that the agency is concerned about. Bev Muir points out that there are children in Port Perry and Uxbridge that her agency tries to help, and volunteers are needed right here. "A volunteer brings a wider scope of service to the community," she says. People wishing to volun- teer their time, car or talents to help children should write to Bev. Muir, P.O.
