Times -Advocate, October 23, 1985 Puge 13A Honour Block Parents this week October 21 to 27 is being celebrated as National Block Parent Week in Oc- tober and across Canada. The Board of Directors of the On- tario Block Parent Program Inca an- nounced recently that the total number of BP Programs in Ontario has reached a new high; 310 of these safety and crime prevention pro- grams now serve more than 400 com- munities in the province. During the past year 50 new programs have begun in Ontario, many in small towns and villages. Residents of these communities realize crime is not limited to large cities and towns. Although BP programs in Ontario are coordinated by a provincial board of directors, each local program operates independently. Each is organized by volunteers from the community with the cooperation of their police force, boards of education and municipal governments. Each is funded through the efforts of its members, with contributions receiv- ed from the general public, local businesses and service organizations. Soon 1986 crime prevention calen- dars will be available at all Mac's Milk stores for a cost of $1.50. All pro- fits will go to the BP organization. The BP program begin in 1968 as an idea in the minds of a few London residents concerned about the safety and protecton of the children of that city from abduction, molestation and even murder. From that beginning, the program has become a fact in over 1,000 communities across Canada, ranging in size from metroplitan centres to rural hamlets.

Since the inception of the BP pro- gram in Exeter as a project of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, BP chapters are now functioning in Hensall, Dashwood, and in the rural area serv- ed by Usborne and Stephen Central Schools. As a result of a letter sent home in the spring to Exeter Public School students, 12 additional homes became Block Parents. However, Ex- eter president Eileen Miran said more homes are still needed in the northern end of town, and on the east side. The people behind the signs in all BP communities have agreed to make themselves and their homes available as places of refuge, protec- tion and help to those in dangerous and frightening situations, whenever they display the unique BP sign. Block. Parents recognize they can make a difference to what happens or doesn't happen in their neighborhoods. They are willing to take some responsibility for their own safety and that of others. They may be strangers to a child, but to most children Block Parents are known as "safe strangers", strangers willing to help when needed. Mrs. Miron is very grateful to all Block Parents in this area, to the Lioness for their financial support, to Norris and Homuth for photocopying services, to the police, and to the prin- cipals and teachers in local schools. Representatives of BP will visit Stephen Central on Monday, October 21.
