There is a major characteristic of life in Waterloo Region that you won't find in any of our tourism pamphlets or learned social studies, ICs the opinion of many of us that this quality has grown into a tradition in our area. and ought to receive a lot more attention. We care about people! And we do so to the extent that we volunteer thousands of unpaid person-years to im- prove the lives of our neighbors. Next week is National Volunteer Week in Canada. It's not simply a time for self congratulations. but an opportunity to recognize the impact the whole non-profit and voluntary sector has on life in Canada, Last year more than 3 million Canadians gave an average 3 hours per week to organized volunteer work Combining the economic contributions of the country's 40,000 registered charities. and all volum teered work. results in an economic impact of over $5 billion. or nearly 2% of the Gross National Product!

Earlier this month. the Volunteer Place- ment Service opened its doors for business in the Victoria Park Pavilion on Schneider Avenue in Kitchener (742-8610). And l mean they opened for business! The project manager. Reva Cooper. tells me they are quite happily being run off their feet matching willing volunteers with the program needs of local non-profit organi- zations. And these are programs that could not be offered without this level of volunteer activity. The variety is limitless . from serving on a Board of Directors. to filling the airwaves as a radio station announcer These agencies are active in such varied fields as libraries. hospitals. recreational centres and social services. But Reva Cooper wants people to know that there is much more to volunteer work than helping others, She says “...lt‘s an education, People learn new skills. up- grade old ones.

Students very quickly get on-the-job training not altered by traditional educa» tional institutions. Mothers', wanting to re-enter the paid Labour force, find volun- teer work a means of acquiring skills that were not taught in their pre-child learning days. But volunteering is not primarily a female activity, Statistics show that we are getting more men than women." Exams are over, or winding down, and for many of those who populate our postsecondary institutions. it's time for that last big bash before heading back to the womb for four months. hopefully with a job tucked in hip pocket. For those of you whdGven't departed the seem: just yet though. here's a handy checklist of things that should be done before leaving town. Not one week or our month after, but before leaving town ho these things. and peace of mind will follow you throughout the long hot summer, until you come back here again in siptember For their clients in the non-profit sector. the Volunteer Placement Service is pro- viding a crucial intermediary service. Most volunteer agencies are under such demand for their services that they have neither the capacity. nor the trained personnel to go out and find the people they need. The Service maintains a business-like job description tile. This helps ensure that the volunteer is suited to the needs of the agencies, The Service is in touch with over 100 organizations across our communities, Clean Your Room: I know this gets us off to a bad start After all, you‘re going back home to Mom and she's going to tell you the same thing all summer. But listen. that lease-breaking party didn't seem like such a good idea two days after the event. and there's no sense leaving lasting memories. So vacuum the butts out from behind the couch. wash the sprayed beer off the wall. get those spaghetti sauce smudges off the stovetop and take back your empties from the clothes closet. You‘ll never get out of that $600 a month lease anyway. so you might as well try to impress for the summer sublet. which you have about a 10 per cent chance of landing at the best of times.

Just a word of caution though. the guy behind the grill with the toothpick and rolled up sleeves. don't ask him "where's the beef". He's a little tired of the joke. and is apt to show you. sideways. through your ear drum. Throw a frisbee: no one knows why this stupid fad has lasted as long as it has. causing more arm injuries than any baseball ever did I mean. did the bolo-bat or yo-yo last this long? The fascination escapes me (so do most of my partner" tosses) but for some reason. university kids have to throw the frisbee around before they head home, Popular school of thought is that they are trying to divert the photographers attention from the sun tan bunch, Important notation: softballs and foot, balls are not interchangeable with frisbees in this activity. They are too normal, Play wheeler-dealer: Try to get 30 per cent of your summer rent in a sublet. Then settle for Ill! per cent because anything's better than paying the piper solo.

Join in a Peace March: one comes through this town every year at this time (oops. it might have been last weekend).

What they need now is for govern- ment to get out of their way with its paper-work regulations that sap the volurr leer time of charitable agencies. And they want their governments to listen when they describe the needs they are meeting on the streets The voluntary sector is recognized in our region as a full partner with the private and public sectors That's what the federal government ought to be really waking up to next week!
