The Good Parenting Association has sponsored a group of students to run and co- ordinate the '""Young Years Play Centres." These play Centres will be held in the various communities throughout the area during the summer months. The hours, dates, days and locations will be published at a later date but right now this ambitious young group is gathering together their materials they will need to work with the '"'small fry" of each individual community. What they need are many of the everyday things each of us toss out on trash day. Just to name a few: bits of wool or string, egg car- tons, toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, pieces of cloth, plastic jars or containers, old crayons, pieces of styrofoam and any old toys. So please think of the '"'Young Years Play Centre" before you throw anything out and call us at Contact: 526-9333 and we will see that it is picked up or if you are out driving just drop in at Contact in the Civie Centre at 605 Yonge St. Not only will the very young and the not so very young thank you but Contact will also thank you because we try in our own way to support the many worthwhile projects of the community because each program that has some positive effect in our lives and com- munity and this is truly a much needed program; so do save your egg cartons, wool and bits of string and call us at Contact real soon.
