If you feel you would like to become a volunteer, give the Centre a call and leave your name and telephone number with one of our volunteers and one of our coâ€"ordinators will be in touch with you soon. You will be given an inâ€"service training programme, and before you realise it, you will be part of the action where people care for people. We have set 18 years of age as the minimum age for anâ€" swering the telephone at the Centre. We have a few of our staff below this age who are very active at the centre, involved in other phases of our operation. Some of the Problems Since the creation of WIRC we have had four volunteer training courses, each course was comprised of four, two hour sessions. The content of each course consisted of an excellent film describing similar centres, general referral principles and ethics, office procedure, role playing and discussions with various social agency personnel. We are indeed indebted to the various social agencies for the time and help they have given to us the past few months, and for their continual help and guidance as we build our information and data files. We are presently, temâ€" porarily financed by the Borough, the Rotoary Club of Weston, and local churches. We are extremely grateful to our financial supporters and without their help, we would not be where we are today. Later in the year we will be havingo a fund raising campaign if we are to keep this selfâ€"supporting centre open in 1972. We hope that you will support whatever project we feel necessary to build our funds up for Centre work. Volunteers The Centre is adâ€" ministered by a twelve man Board. These twelve people are ministers, doctors, engineers, social workers, business men and housewives from the comâ€" munity. fie Board was elected atka‘ public meeting last Spring. Even though weather conditions were the worst possible, some 387 Canadians in the Boy Scout movement â€" including 17 boys and three leaders from the greater Toronto area â€" managed to bring home memories other than the typhoon which hit their campsite. Alan D. Hartrick, of the Borough of York, one of the leaders makin%vthe journey to the 13th World Scout Jamboree at Japan, reports that the rains were unâ€" believable. ‘"We had 19 inches of rain in one 24 hour period, winds roaring conâ€" stantly at about 60 â€" 65 miles per hour and, at one point, there was a three foot deep pool of water in the centre of our sub camp. We had to evacuate the campsite," he continued, ‘"and move into army barracks, schools and any large buildings. But the rains didn‘t seem to dampen the spirit of the 23,707 boys attending the jamboree from all over the globe. Nor the Japanese people who turned out in droves to visit the campsites To show that we haven‘t been slacking since Mayor White opened the Centre on May 3, 1971, here are a few statistics about us: From May 3, until July 30, we have had 563 enquiries, 351 of these were by telephone calls and 212 were people dropping into the Centre. Sometimes the caller or visitor had more than one question, so you can see how our information files could expand with all this activity. Our furthest call has come from London, Ontario. We get a great many people who leave Highway 401 at the Weston Road Interchange who get lost and come into the Centre for directions. Community Spirit So, if you‘re in the neighâ€" bourhood, why not drop in just to see how we operate, meet some of our friendly volunteer staff and if you stay long enough they will probably make you a cup of coffee, courtesy of WIRC. If you prefer, give us a call, we don‘t want to know your name unless you wish to give it. The only thing you have to remember is our telephone number and most of all â€" WE CARE. The Centre has already created _ a _ spirit _ of togetherness, it has brought the local churches and social agencies closer together. The people working at the Centre are gaining new friends by working together and making Weston and its surrounding area a better place to live. By doing this ‘"bringing together" we are achieving the goal we set out to do. We, the workers at the Centre feel that there is a need for the Centre in our Community and I‘m sure the people who have been aided by the Centre feel it serves a useful purpose. Property and Tenancy, Directions and many more that fall into categories of their own. Just a few weeks ago we got a call from a lady whose snake had a bleeding nose and wanted to know what to do or who to go to. Unfortunately the girl on staff that day was not completely familiar with a situation of this type and referred her to a local veterinarian. We have had many other people call up just to say that they are glad we were there just to be able to talk to someone.

They‘re all air conditioned and staffed by attractive young girls who sing and entertain all along the way. The girls are called crickets," he told us. "They get this name because of a system of whistles the girls use to instruct their drivers on backing and turning in Japan‘s small and narrow streets. Each girl has a different tone to her whistle and they really sound like crickets when a bunch of them are all telling the drivers to back up, turn left, right, go ahead or stop with various tweets and toots." "Of particular interest was the big, modern busses. We didn‘t manage to get a trip on one of the famous trains of Japan but we did ride a subway â€" but not during their rush hours. The Canadian Forestry Service recorded 2,489 forest fires across Canada during the month of July. The rains did manage to cancel some of the projects including a climb up Mount Fuji. "But we did manage to tour one of the auto factories and a shrine," said Mr. Hartrick. and exchange gifts and trinkets with their visitors. "At least 1,000 Japanese people visited us every day â€" including the days it rained," said Mr. Hartrick. ‘"And almost everyone had business cards to give away, even the very young.
