She has also spoken to church groups. Mrs. Eberlee sees stresses of unemployment, poor housing, not enough money and marital breakdowns as causes of child abuse. Also, premature and handicapped children are particularly vulnerable, she says. She feels that much of the violence in society among young people develops from battered children or broken homes. "Family life is still the basis of our society and when we talk to the people they seem to feel they've been helped" she says. In addition to her work with child abuse, Mrs. Eberlee has been involved in many other projects in Whitby. She has spent six years on the Board of Directors of the Oshawa-Whitby United Way, and has been chairman of both the residential and commercial fund-raising cam- paigns in Whitby. For the last two years, she has been chairman of the residential mailing campaign. In 1970 she joined the Whitby Social Planning Council and has been the United Way representa- tive on the Durham Social Planning Council since 1974. Mrs. Eberlee was the chairman of the residential campaign for raising money for the Iroquois Park Swimming Pool in 1973, and chairman of the Whitby Red Cross Homemakers Service in 1975-76. She joined Whitby Arts Incorporated as a member of the program committee in 1969 and served as secretary in 1974 and vice- president in 1975. She has been a member of the Canadian Club for four years and a director in 1976-77. Mrs. Eberlee was born in Bobcaygeon, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W.D. Thomas. She received her schooling at Bobcaygeon and Lindsay Collegiate, where she met her husband Peter Eberlee, a consulting engineer with Totten Sims Hubicki Associates. Mrs. Eberlee received a degree in social work from the University of Toronto and she and her husband came to Whitby in 1966. They have two children, Jennifer, 19, about to enter Guelph University this fall, and Douglas, .going into Grade 13 at Henry Street High School. "I like to be involved and I also enjoy a challenge", says Mrs. Eberlee. "I love to organize, and I like to ALTAMAE EBERLEE see something through from the start". Mrs. Eberlee says she is very appreciative of the honor of being named Whitby's outstanding citizen of 1976, but feels there are a lot of people who will never get the award who deserve it. Residents oppose development of Burns Street Cont'd from P. 1 minded him that the official plan supports his position. Differing opinions were expressed on the need for traffic lights at Burns and Brock Streets. Some residents felt they would aid in. making Burns Street an arterial road, while others sàid they were needed to provide a crossing for children and senior citizens. Mrs. Pauline Luff said she was concerned about the safety of children in the neighbourhood of the park and Burns Street. Other residents expressed concern about the already increasing volume of traffic on Burns Street and gravel trucks going through the park to the Lynde Creek subdivision. One resident said he was ready to call the police when trucks passed his house after midnight. Councillor Edwards said that most of the people did not want to see Burns Street improved through the park, but this was contrarytothe official plan. He suggested they should get a petition to ask council to close the road if that is what they want. Councillor Attersley sug- gested a public meeting on Burns Street, to be held at the municipal building, might help the situation. He said it was necessary to separate the road and the park issues if the park was to proceed. One resident sug- gested that the road problem should be settled before the park proposal proceeds. Mr. Attersley replied that Burns Street is a council matter and Club matter. not a Rotary This m the big weekend for iie '77 This weekend ist one for the Whitby( Town Carnival for featuring the thème:' Our Tip Top Town".
