The fee for home repairs and maintenance is $2 for the- first hour.and $1 .50 per hour thereafter. Home repairs and main- tenance includes house clean- ing, changing windows, grass cutting and other suchjobs. Y Whitby should have a good roads construction and main- tenance program in 1978, Ma'yor Ji Gatshretold the inaugural. ,meeting .,of 'the Whitby ChamberofCommeêrce for 1978. He told the Chamber members that the provincial subsidy for road construction and maintenance has been. inçreased appreaciably for this year. "There is a tremendous ainount of work needed on roads,ý but we need MTC subsidies to do it," he said. Des Newman, one of the founders of Whitby Arts Incorporated, was elected Iast wcek as president of the organization. Mi. Newman, a former mayor of Whitby, joined the bôard of Whitby Arts List year as vice-president. He succeeds Nigel Schilling as president. Members of the executive for 1978 are: Des Newman, president; Nigel Schilling, past-president, Tom Fitzsim- mons, vi.-e-president: Peter Eberlee, treasurer; and Mandy Crawford, secretary. miiens, Anyoné% from teen-agers to senior citizens may be- corne volunteers, says Mr. Johnston. Ini Newcastle, 30 per cent of the 60 volunteers are seniors, and one is 90 years old, hie said. Volunteers- who want to work for Community Care may cafl Mis. Brooks at 668- 6223, and thcy will be asked to f111 in a form stating whcn they are available and what, they are willing to do. Seniors who wish help from Comnmunity Carc> may also register with Mis. Brooks by calling the sanie nuniber. Mr.* Johnston says thereïs a continulng nced for drivers, .and people who will do houso cleaning and homne care. Also, teeniagers are requirçd in tbe sumnier for grass cutting and gardening work. TÈrànsportàtiôn ',réquests will' be limnited to special needs suèh'as,,iedical trips and shopping, rather than recreational trips. According to Mr. Johnston, Ontario has'the highest ratio of senior citizens institution- alized in the Western Hei- sphere (r per cent),compared to 2 per cent in Britain. The main aim of the Com- munity Care, programn is to keep people I in their own homes so they will flot have to go to nursing* homes, he says. The provincial governmenit is providing $9,000 this year to inn the Community- Care, programi in Whitby and hopes at the ellid of two years to evaluate, if it is neededand can provide the service it is intended to give. >The mayor reported' that a reorganization of the fic departmnent- was carried out ain Jan. i1 to'mfeet the prob- lemns'that will be created by the building of the Brock Street CPR undeipass this- yeaî.
