These and other items will be dealt with at a meeting of the 1984 Youth and Civic Ad- ministration Countil to be held tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Meeting Hall of the Whitby Municipal Building. This "Mock Council Meeting" concludes a ten-week municipal administration course sponsored by the Town of Whitby designed to give students from An- derson Collegiate and Vocational Institute and Henry Street High School an insight into the structure and ad- ministration of municipal government. In keeping with the CF holdin The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (Durham Chapter) is holding its second an- nual 50's and 60's Dance on May 5. Popular radio announcer Don Daynard and producer Craig Smith of CKFM's "Lookin' Back" will be acting as masters of ceremonies for the event. The dance will mark the kick-off to Cystic Fibrosis Month across Canada and C.F. Week within the Durham Region, for the local chapter.* This year's dance will be held at the Ajax Community Centre arena. Net proceeds from the dance will be directed to C.F. research within Canada. Project co-ordinator- for the Durham Chap- ter, Garth Edwards, says that last year's dance was a sellout of 1,000 within four weeks and raised $9,800 for the C.F. research cause. Tickets for this years dance will be on sale at the Ajax Community Centre, arena lobby, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. at a cost of $10 per person. Only 500 celebration of the Province of Ontario's Bicentennial Year, the Whitby Youth and Civic Administration Pro- gram is taking on an historical theme. This year the students will be dealing with items of in- terest that were relevant in Whitby 100 years ago in 1884. Now in its 13th yeary- the Whitby Youth and Civic Administration Program gives a very unique opportunity for local students to learn about municipal gover- nment. Each year it has been the concensus of the participating students that the Youth and Civic Ad- ministration Program is worthwhile and should be continued for the benefit of other studen- ts. The public is cordially tg dance tickets are available. Cystic Fibrosis is. second only to cancer in taking the lives of children and young adults in Canada. Sixty per cent of Cystic's go un- diagnosed, and die un- diagnosed because C.F. is known as "The Great Masquerader". The median age of survival for Cystic's is the mid-20's. One Canadian in 20 is a carrier of the C.F. gene. One in 400 couples in Canada will have a child with C.F. The most important and serious jobs of national office and chapters is to promote public awareness of -Cystic Fibrosis and to raise research dollars. One-third of the resear- ch projects which could conceivably lead to a control for C.F. had to be turned down in 1983 due to a lack of funds, and prospects for 1984 are bleaker still unless there is a drastic tur- naround. -For further infor- mation contact Bonnie Edwards of the Durham Chapter at 668-2951 or 668-1469. invited to attend Whit- by's 13th Annual Youth and Civic Ad- ministration Mock Council Meeting tonight.

JOHN BELL Community Services Branch Durham Regional Police Force As a police cruiser races to the scene of a reported break and enter in progress,-a youth is seen by the officer running in a park area at the rear of the houses. The officer calls in his location to the other cruisers on their way and runs from the car to catch the youth. Within minutes the area is closed off and the youth is in custody. Immediately officers start retracing the youth's path from home and soon come up with a television set that had been thrown into some brush. Èrom the standpoint of an average victim of a crime like this, you would expect a speedy trial, conviction and punishment of this youth, the sad part of this story is that when the officers found the owner of the set and asked him if he could identify his property, his answer was, "Gosh, I've been wat- ching that thing for six years, I'm sure it must be mine." That statement given in a court room would fall a long way short of proving that case beyond a reasonable doubt. In fact, the victim will probably have difficulty in recovering his property and vir- tually no chance of restitution for damage that was done to the set. How do we prevent this from hap- pening to us, you ask. The answer is simple. Take the time to mark your property so that you can say, "That is my television set," and be able to prove it, by the marking you have made. The method of marking your property varies due to the different surfaces that you will encounter. Metal surfaces such as televisions, microwaves, VCR's and other portable items can be scribed with either a carbide tipped pen or an electric engraver. If you are a collector of fine china or figurines, you may find the best way tomark iswith aimarker that uses invisible ink. This type of marking is only visible under an ultra violet light once it has dried. Other items you wish to mark may include bicycles, yard tools, garden furniture including your bar- beque, car accessories, kitchen appliances, and firearms. While on the subject of firearms, I would like to take this opportunity to remind owners of all types of firearms that there is a criminal responsibility on them in our most recent legislation, thi4 makes it a criminal offence in this country to carry, handle, ship or store any firearm or ammunition in a cà reless matter or without reasonable precautions for the safety of other persons. I would therefore suggest that you store your ammo and weapons separately and lock them up. In choosing a number to mark your property, we suggest that you use a number that ties the property to you, such as your driver's licence, so that your name can be obtained from our computer system easily even during the investigation at a roadside check. This system of marking property is curren- tly being used across North America under the name of Operation Identification. Officers in both Canada and the United States check property for such markings any time they suspect the property they are checking may be stolen. If you experience a theft and you have marked your property, then advise the investigating officer so he may place your number on the computer system. Once again, this is one more step in preventing- crime by the police and citizens 0f aur community working together. Remember, see it, hear it, report it.
