OId Whtby Library Building 132 Dundas Street West Whtby, Ontario REASONS FOR DESIGNATION 0F 132 DUN DAS STREET WEST Historlal The OId Whtby Llbrary Building was bull! by the Whitby Llbrary Board ln 1913. The building was flnanced by a grant from the Carnegie Foundation and the land was donated by the Ontario County OId Girls' Association. The buIldi ng was off lclaIly opened on May 1, l9l4*and served as the Town's llbrary untîl 1973. Architectural The OId Whltby Library Building is a good example of the Beaux Arts Ciassical design commonly used for CarnegieIlibrarles across North AmerIca. The design of the building le notable f6r achleving the monument of scale expected of Beaux Arts Classîcal.bulldlngs in what Is essentilly a smal building constructed wthout the use of expensIve materlals. Any person may, before March 1, 1985, send by reglstered mail or deliver to the Clerk of the Town of Whtby notice of his or her objection to the proposed designation together wlth a statement of reasons for the objection and aIl relevant tacts.

The seven session course wili be heid at Eastview Boys and Girls Club, Eulalie Ave. with a choice of either afternoon or evening sessions for a $50 registration fee. In- cluderi in the cost of registration le a relaxation tape and maintenance program. Countdown offers two programs in one - a group prograni andt a seif-heip program. The course is designed to not only heip emokers suc- cessfully "kick the habit", but to aiso teach new behaviours which ensure the ex-smoker can maintain a non- smoking lifestyle. Society leaves U.W., going to form Whitby chapter The Arthritis Society and the United Way have mutually agreed to separate in the Oshawa/Whitby area. The Arthritis Society wouid like to form a Whitby Branch and is in desperate need of leadership and organizational assistan- ce. There will be a meeting at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 133 Brock St. N., Whitby on Monday, FEb. 25. The meeting wiil be from 7:30 p.m. until ap- proximateiy 9p.m. Any interested parties are weicome to attend this meeting and should anyone have any questions, they can con- tact Michael Harrison at 723-M8. Course members have oniy five weeks in which to break a lifetime ad- diction. However, the friendiy competition and genuine support of fellow group members, coupledwith pofesonai direction from a Lung Association Course leader has proved to be a winning combination. Most recent statistics show that, in a one year period, 30,000 Canadians died as a resuit of smoking related diseases. For the smoker who really wan- ts to be free of cigaret- tes, Countdown is an an- swer. Pre-registration is required, and enrollment is strictiy limited.

On the Whitby beat How to pre vent auto theft By Const. PETER BRAMMA Community Services Bureau Durham Regional Police Force The other day 1 was having a chat with Const. Danny McMuiian at the station. Conversation got around to my recent transfer to the community ser- vices bureau and that I wouid be writing a regular column in the paper. He mentioned that he hoped I couid write a crime prevention article about Car Theft. He was dismayed at the casuai attitude of some Whitby residents to the probiem. I had to agree. When walking the beat downtown I had often noticed cars and trucks left running, right on the street! I would point out to the drivers the kind of criminal opportunity this creates. They had usually thought this could neyer happen to them or just didn't seem to care. Most were surprised when they learned that they could be charged for this under a section of the Highway Traffic Act that states: "No person shall park or stand a vehicle on a highway unless he has taken such action as may be reasonably necessary in the circumetances to prevent the vehicie from moving or being set in motion." I always thought that was a pretty sen- sible law. People do not seem to think about the consequen- ces. In a report put out by one of Canada's largest insurance companies experts agreed that a stolen car is 200 tumes more likely to become involved in a crash than a car driven.by its rightful owner. In fact, forensic psychologists dlaim that a thief at the wheel of a stolen vehicle is a potential killer because of the highly emotional state brought on by the feeling of "high adventure" and the need to avoid detection, persuit and eventual apprehension. While in this condition the thief will take more driving risks than he normaliy would thus endangering other road users and pedestrians as well as the stolen vehicle. Here are some facts about auto theft: -One car is stolen every eight minutes in Canada; -90 per cent of car theft arrests are people under 25; -81/ per cent of ail stolen cars are used in other crimes; -80 per cent of ail stoien cars are used in other crimes; and, -60 per cent had the key lef t in the ignition. Surveys have shown that car thefts drop by as much as two-thirds after strict enforcement of key- removal laws. As a driver, you can help protect the public - as weil as your own property - by the following methods: LOCK IT AND POCKET THE KEY. A large number of stolen cars were left unlocked, often with the keys in the ignition. Whether you leave your car for a moment or several hours, always lock it and take the keys with you. NEVER leave your vehicle with the engine running. This is an open invitation to the *"joyrider". BE CAREFUL 0F YOUR KEYS. Keep car keys and house keys on seperate rings. Neyer have an identification tag on your car keyring (except a War Amps tag) thieves may use it to locate your car. Neyer hide an extra car key under the hooci or inside your car. Keep spare keys at home or in your wallet. SECURE VALUABLES AND PARCELS. Neyer leave unattended in your car, cheque books, credit cards, or other such articles. Lock valuables in the trunk. PARK IN WELL LIGHTED AND BUSY AREAS. This is important for both your personal safety and the protection of your car and its contents. DISCOURAGE* THE THIEF. Some thieves specialize in lifting the door iocking buttons with a coat hanger. Consider purchasing smooth, non- flared locking buttons for your car doors. REPORT SUSPICIQUS OR ABANDONED CARS AND SUSPICIQUS PERSONS. Cali the police mi- mediately if you suspect a theft has occured or is about to occur. MOTORCYCLE OWNERS. Because of its-size, an unsecured motorcycle is relatively easy to move or transport. Even if parked for only a short tume, always engage the fork hock, if equipped, and secure the motorcycle frame to an immovable object such as a telephone post or parking meter. Neyer leave valuables or parcels with your motorcycle, and at your resîdence park or store it in a locked garage. Auto theft is a serious crime that affects the whole 1community. Many stolen cars are used in other crimes and are often involved in serious accidents. Higher crime rates, increased insurance 1premiums, property damage, injuries, and loss of life from accidents are the resuit. Let's work together to reduce this problem.
