django template inheritance and context

I am reading the definitive guide to django and am in Chapter 4 on template inheritance. It seems that I am not doing something as elegant as should be possible as I am having to duplicate some code for the context to appear when calling the child view. Here is the code in views.py:

def homepage(request):
    current_date = datetime.datetime.now()
    current_section = 'Temporary Home Page'
    return render_to_response("base.html", locals())
def contact(request):
    current_date = datetime.datetime.now()
    current_section = 'Contact page'
    return render_to_response("contact.html", locals())

It seems redundant to have to include the current_date line in each function.

Here is the base html file that homepage calls:

<html lang= "en">
<head>
    <title>{% block title %}Home Page{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>The Site</h1>
    {% block content %}
        <p> The Current section is {{ current_section }}.</p>
    {% endblock %}

    {% block footer %}
    <p>The current time is {{ current_date }}</p>
    {% endblock %}
</body>
</html>

and a child template file:

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block title %}Contact{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
<p>Contact information goes here...</p>
    <p>You are in the section {{ current_section }}</p>
{% endblock %}

If I don't include the current_date line when calling the child file, where that variable should appear is blank.
