The centre has been operating for about a year now. Serving Scugog Township A different Daycare: She loves the children When it. comes to kids, "Tapper" has plenty of ex- perience. Mrs. Christine Tapper of Prince Albert has been oper- ating a day care program at her Simcoe Street century home for about a year now, but the pitter-patter of little feet have never been un- common in the Tapper household. The Tappers have raised three of their own children, one adopted, and four foster children, so when Christine says she likes kids, it's per- fectly believable. "I love them," she said, smiling at the smiling one- year-old who has just wad- dled into the kitchen. "And I think they know it." Philosophy behind the Tapper establishment is to provide a home atmosphere and not an education-school type centre. The home sett- ing is intimate, more relax- ing for the youngsters, She wants to keep the number of children down to around 20 at atime. "Ifigure that's about all we can handle here," she said, counting the renovation of a downstairs living room to add to the youngsters' romping area. The Tappers handle an average of about five or six youngsters, but have had over 10. This year, daughter Mrs. Charline Fertile, has joined her mother in running the day care operation. "It's gotten to be too much for just one person.' The centre draws from as far away as Blackstock and Mrs. Papper said there is an obvious need, not just for one, but for another facility in the area.

Mrs. Christie said the decision to run was not an Wednesday, October 6, 1976 The need seems to be obvious to the Region as well, since some day care is subsidized by the region's social services department. Depending on income, an applicant could pay as low as 25 cents a day for day care. The regular rate is $7.00 for an infant, $6.00 a day for a child over 2 years. The Prince Albert home has been examined by Health and Social Services people and was given approval for the centre. What the Tappers want to avoid is the "institutional (continued on page 3) run again automatic one, but took a great deal of consideration. She's a wife and mother, and "that has to be considered", said Mrs. Christie. She sees the upcoming term a challenging one, with such issues as property taxes and health council-school board participation to be worked out. 32 Pages Cancer Society 3,000 over target Society is becoming more and more indoctrinated in the accumulation of material things, and that's why there are so few people left who put service above self. So said Rev. Richard D. Jones, president of the Canadian Council of Christ- ians and Jews to the annual meeting of the Durham Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society at the United Church last Tuesday. The guest speaker said that it is organizations such as the North Durham unit that must be congratulated for their service to their fellowman. He said that those people, such as Martin Luther King, Schweitzer and other out- standing people who give to others without thinking of themselves "are so few" today that they can be al- most called out by name. "People seem to be inter- . ested today only in what they can get," he said, adding that of the 50 or so convent: ions he used to speak at .every year, many were con- ventions held to see how that particular group could get more and more, He said, however, that it has been his experience that every minute put in for the service of others, will be rewarded in satisfaction over and over again. In a somewhat desultory address to the meeting, Mr. Jones regretted the dis- agreement about bilingual- ism, saying that he has always regretted the fact that he's never been fluently bilingual.

His own children, he said proudly, speak fluent French, and he was married to a French Canadian. Included in the night's activities was the delivering of a number of reports. The report on the 1976 campaign revealed an excellent perfor- mance by the Scugog Town- ship branch who raised $9,410. in the campaign, al- most $3,000. above the target set and a hefty 23 per cent increase over the year before. About 800 pamphlets were distributed by the Scugog branch in the local education program, and a total of eight films were shown with an attendance of 250 people. Schools received Cancer Society information kits and over 100 pamphlets, and the Scugog group set up exhibits at various fairs. In his report, Campaign Chairman Arnold Roach points out that the local campaign was boosted by a number of organizations who held special events, donating all the proceeds to the campaign.
