MONTREAL-
Rats, the size of "small idley cats," have been seen scamperiii from sewers_ hito piles of garbage dumped on a playground near the Jewish People's and Peretz Schools, says the ispokesman for the iparent's association.
Since the school has a smaU play irea, children normally use the facilities of the City of Montreal playground situated nearby.
The children, however, have been ordered not to use the iMurk, and parents, policing the areia, turn away ycmngsters who wander onto the site. ^
The garbage pile-up is the residue ofa month long strike of the City's blue collar workers, and according to health authorities, the refuse - particularly during the long, hot summer days - threatens to become a health hazard.
"They've got to get the situation setUed,^' said Merle Frankel, the spokesman for the Van Home branch parents' committee, "and we are protesting the lack of niovement between workers and city hall.'*
Another elementary school, under the Jurisdiction of the Protestant School Board, also uses the play area, and the two schools have teamed together to protest the situation.
"One teacher," Frankel said, "has to keep the windows closed because of the fumes; and even then, two kids vomited in class because of the stench."
She said City Councillor Abraham Cohen was told of the pile-up, and he informed the health department which' sent down several trucks to cart off some of the sewage.
vthere is so much of it," she said, "that the amount of refuse taken away didn't even makeadent."
Frankel said residents of
the neii^ibbrhoodaredlspos-hig of garbage that would not ordinarily be idcked up by dty workers. "Some people- are taktaig
advantage of the strike by Growing out things like mattress springs, and spme gar-daiers are scavenging for flats' (usedto boldpUhtsor
flowers) and emptyii^ their contents right on the grounds.'

TORONTO-
Jewish senior citizens are becoming activists!
For the first time Tor-(xito's Jewish elderly have organized to demandabetter deal and work out their common problems with a view to getting direct action. At a two-day conference held at the North Branch of the YM-YWHA, delegates from the Association of Senior Clubs aired their grievances at a series of workshops and formulated resolutions to be presented to the threelevels of government and to various social agencies.
The recently - formed Association of Senior Clubs was organized throi^ the auspices of the Co-ordinated Services: to the- Jewi^j sElw: -Tlefiyr^^i^moirsnBe UBi«R'. fed Jewish Welfare^- Fund? Ibe Association is comprised of 10 organizations: National Council of Jewish Women, both branches of the YM-YWHA, Holy BlosSPm Temple, Adath Israel Synagogue, Beth Emeth Syiu-gqgue. Workmen's Circle SocialClub, Baycrest Day Care Centre, Jewish Camp Council and Cranbrook Fellowship Club.
Keynote speaker was Philip Shaposnick, president of the Golden Age Club, which operates under the aegis of the Allied Jewish Community Services of Montreal. He urged his audience not to allow themselves to be treated like children. "Society has patronized yoii for much too long. There is a tradency to do too much for you without asking what it is you need. Senior citizens have a vital role to pUiy and much to contribute from experiences in handling problems that have existed throughout the ages. "We have created a gap in family relationships due to the segregation of the elderly from the mainstream of life. We've managed to knock out 4,000 years of bur
heritage. Jewish tradition has always been practical, it has relied on the counsel of elders to give the past meaning."
Growing old, Shaposnick stressed to his audience, has no connection with the calendar. He cited many areas to which the elderly can utilize their mentol and physical capacities. .
In Montreal the Combined Jewish Appeal campaign benefits from canvassers recruited from this segment of the Jewish population. In this way they become involved in the future of the Jewish commimity and the
continuous existence of Israel. Some members of the Golden Age Club have become proficient in transcribing English text into Bfaille for the blind. Many are involved in friendly visiting to shut-ins and others to need of temporary assistance.
