Bette Sharpe The first person you will probably meet at the Whitby Generai Hospital will be one of the 208 memnbers of the Hospital Auxiliary . The Auxiliary is made Up of volunteers tram ail walks of lite in the community. Men and women, teens and oIder adults, professionals, and those who just want to Iend a hand . .. they ail have one thing in common, they like ta get involvedi 'We try ta match the talents and interests of the volunteer to the needs ot the Auxiliary,w says Bette Sharpe, the new President of the Whtby General Hospital Auxiliary. This is a vital companent of any successful volunteer programn. Plans are presently under way to develop a Resource Information Network that would match the volunteer's interests ta different areas of service and commitment. The volunteers are trained in a formai orientation session that takes place before they begin their regular volunteer work. "The Auxiliary is divided into two distinct areas," says Sharpe, "Direct and Indirect patient care." Direct patient care involves almost every area of the hospital. These volunteers maintain the information desk in the lobby, and assist nurses in various departments. In addition, they operate the gitt, library, and coffee carts for the benefit of the patients. Volunteers in Indirect patient care are involved in such behind-the-scenes operat ions as the gift shop, hospital administration, school tours, public relations and promotion. Another successful area is the "Volunteen" program. This program is for young people (14-19) who are interested in the area of patient care. They are trained to assist the nursing staff. Volunteens who are planning a career in the health field may be eligible for a bursary. The Auxiliary'has pledged $250,000 ta the "First Class Fund Campaignu over the next five to seven years.- The money wiIl be raised through a wide variety of activities and events--the Gift Shop and Gift Cart, a series of mini bazaars throug haut the year, Bingos, tag days, an art raff le and several annual events including a Spring Gala.

CanadaPost shiàres the wealth By Trudie Zavadovies Whitby will get four additional postal outiets in the near future. The outiets will be in retail stores in areas of high traffic, according to two Canada Post representatives who o utlined ser- -vices before the Town's o pe- rations committee Monday night. Calvin Hart, director of city services for Canada Post's York East area, and Ken Thorne, zone manager for Whitby/Oshawa, outlined goals and listened to concerns about postal ser-vice. "In 1974, Canada- Post was on its way to losing $600-million per year. Last year, we had a cor- porate profit of $96-million. "Our objective is te have out- lets open the same hours and in the same loations as hig h, traffle shopping areas," said Hart. We want to turn the retail end over to some retail businesses in the community." Councillor Joe 13Ugelli had con- cerns about a retailr's loyalties to his cash customers as com- pared to the person there. to pick up mail. Bugelli said that the p erson there for his mail would have te wait tili cash custemers are served. Hart acknowledged the pro- blem but said thiere was a management group dedicated to managing franchise outlets. Councillor Dennis Fox brought up the issue of slow mail travel between Whitby and Toronto. "It's terrible, my VISA pay- ment is two weeks late," said Fox, as an example. «We have service standards,» said Hart. uTwo days from Whitby te Oshawa and three days from Toronto te Whitby." Fox volunteered to be part of a Canada Post test designed te monitor mail service. "The new postal system may be making more money but it doesn't aliow for postees check- ing on people," he said. He also said that in some small tewns the post office is the hub of activity, "like a village pub," and that Canada Post is taking away "a character - a culture." I ine TOVE 133 TAUNTON RD. .
