Hensall and district news Mrs. Bertha MacGregor, Phone 262-2025 Block Parents organized The red and white Block Parent signs depicting a child with hand securely clasped in an adult hand will soon be ap- pearing in the windows of homes on Hensall streets. Approximately 30 women plus councillors Richard Packham and Cecil Pepper attended a meeting in Hensall Public School on May 29 ar- ranged by councillor Irene Davis, who has been working for some time to bring the Block Parents organization to the village. Mrs. Davis had contacted Eileen Miron and Lois God - bolt, active Exeter Block Parents, sent applications to parents through the coopera- tion of the public school, and invited OPP Cpl. Dave Wood- ward, as well as Mrs. Godbolt cf •. J and Mrs. Miron, tolhe foun- ding meeting. Among those already pro- mising support and financial help are Hensall council, the Hensall Kinsmen and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Hen- sall Legion. Cpl. Woodward showed a short film featuring an OPP officer talking to a class of school children titled "Say No to a Stranger". The Exeter women had brought along another film which effective- ly, explained the purposes of the Block Parent plan in a way children could quickly grasp by using an appealing clown character and another - adult in schoolboy garb who had to learn everything the hard way.

The door is also open to seniors in trouble. The films tell children they are not to use Block Parents for frivilous reasons like ask- ing for a snack orpermission to use the bathroom. Retired people and grand- parents, as well as parents of school-age children, may become block parents. As a safety precaution, all applia- tions are screened by the police. Once a person is accepted, the Block Parent sign goes in the window only when the householder is inside. Block parents are asked to remove the sign when they go out, or even if they are barbecuing in the back yard and might not near the doorbell ring. An election was held to form the HensaII Block Parents. Anne Rose .is chairperson, Susan Campbell is assistant chairperson, and Karen Shirray was voted secretary -treasurer. The new organizaiton hopes to begin operating before the close of the school year, to give the children a chance to become familiar with the plan immediately.
