GOODWIN, EDWARDS from page 3 the downtown action committee, says he is "appalled at the lack of imagination and initiative of the merchant-tenants in the downtown core". "I think that the town has done every- thing within its realm to help them", he said explaining that the core merchants try too hard to imitate the shopping plazas. It is easy for those helping them to become dispiri ted through their own lack of wanting to help themselves, there just doesn't seem to be anybody around to pick up the ball. There are a lot of old buildings in the core with character, and I am convinced that they couldbe capitalized on with no expense to the public". PASCAL COMMISSIONED BY PLANNING COUNCIL The Whitby Soc- ial Planning Coun- cil is undertaking a cross-sectional survey of those people in the Town of Whitby aged 60 years and over, to de te rm i n e their needs and wishes WE SELL & INSTALL BELVEDERE KITCHEN CUPBOARDS MITCHELL BROS. BUILDING, SUPPLIES LTD. BROOKUN, ONT. 655-4991 Buà lding Suappfies #rom Start tO Filnish in the area of housing, recreat- ion and other ser- vices. Mr. Paul Pascal, of Tor- oonto, has been commiss ioned by the Planning Council to under- take the survey. A cross-section- ai survey i s one which interviews a portion of the gr oup being sur- veyed rather than the whole group. Since that portion is scientifically selected, and of a certain s i z e, the resuits from itwill be roughly the same as there- sul1ts would be from the whole group. During the month of July,, Mr. Pas- cal and his inter- viewers will be visiting the homes of a portion of our citizens over 60 w i t h a questionn- aire which will form the basis of this study. The Planning Council hopes to find out from people them- selves where gaps in present ser- vices exist and if present services are reaching all t ho s e in need of them. Once these areas are pin- pointed, specific r e c ommendations for action can be made and referred to the appropriate agencies or bod- ies. Mr. Pascal brings to Whitby a wide range of ex- perience i n both social work and opinion research, from his native W i n nipeg, where he graduated from the University of Manitoba, t o the O n t a rio Hospi tal inSmithsFails, to as far afield as Jerusaiem, and now Toronto, where he settied three years ago. His particular in- t e r e s t in human r i g h t s brings an unusual t w i s t to the tone of this study. "Our senior citizens are amin- ority group, just as Indians, Ukran- ians or blacks are, and with similar problems. Yet their voice is not b e i n g heard at a t i m e when other minority groups are finding their voices and gaining their rights. This survey will give our senior citi- zens the opportun- ity to speak up for what they want, where it will be heard", Mr. Pas- cal was quoted as saying.
