Approximately 30 women plus councillors Richard Packham and Cecil Pepper attended a meeting in Hensall Public School on May 29 ar- ranged rranged 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 and Mrs. Miron, to the foun- ding meeting.

The door is also open to seniors in trouble. The films tell children they are not to use Block Parents for frivitous reasons like ask- ing for a snack or permission 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 hear the doorbell ring. An election was held to form the Ilensall 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.
