WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAYI JULY 27,1977, PAGE 5 ~r~m Bradley Bullein Bock Parents Plan Thtere are now approximatelY 80 Block Parents in the Bradley -Palme rstofl aea. These volunteers perform an invaluable service by just being available shouid a chld become lost or run into problerns with a bully, a dog, or a child molester. As an extra safeguard, when a child is absent from school without prior notification, our Block Parent telephoning committee calîs the parents shortly after 9 a.mn. Thus, a search for a missing chld begins iirnmediateiy, rather than waiting until 4 p.m. when the child fails to retumn from school. (One side-effect of this service has been the discovery of truants). The Block Parent Conimittee, thougli affiliated with Palmerston School, protects ail chiîdren in our neighibour- hood, including preschoolers and those who attend separate, private or higli sehools. But this protection for our chilciren can continue oniy if we ail accept our responsibility for our children's safety. If you are wiliing to be a Block Parent or serve on the Block Parent tclephoning or neighibourhood commnittees (it involves very little work), cail Marilyn Fauikes 668-0575 for further information.- This is a great way to meet your new neiglibours! 4l "ALL OVER MY BODY"9 Matthew Hilton, 7, of 707 Henry Street seems to be enjoying the experience of having colored beeties drawn on his arm by Liz Cook of Whitby Arts Incorporated.
