Participation House Film Shows Centres Success To Enthusiastic Rotarians Toronto radio announcer, Jim Paulson (left), introduced a film on the Markham Participation House to Rotary Club members at their last meeting. Mrs. Ralph Campbell, an active organizer in Durham's Participation House project, presented a volunteer service award to President Merrill Brown (right) in appreciation of the club's support. by Sharon Marshall With four members of the Bowmanville Rotary Club on Durham's Participation House Board of Governors, the theme of last Thursday's meeting was an appropriate one for the club. It was a case of good timing as well, with organizers for a Participation House in the Durham region just now completing a land deal giving a site for residence in Bow- manville the go-ahead. Jim Paulson, one of 'the founding governors of the Markham Participation House for handicapped adults, was the guest speaker at the July 22 meeting. Rotarian Harry Cook intro- duced Mr. Paulson, a Toronto radio broadcaster, who has been on the Board of Govern- ors of the Markham residence since 1969. The Bowmanville Rotary Club took an active part in the first telethon held by Partici- pation House in 1975, both. through financial support and the personal involvement of their members. The funds brought in fron the fîrst two telethons that Participation House held, raised the support to move ahead with the plans for a residence in Bowmanville. The need for a Participation House in Markham serving severely handicapped adults was as tremendous as it now is in Durham, Mr. Paulson said. The documentary film he introduced included inter- views with residents at the Markham centre whose lives have changed since they have moved there. There was an enthusiastic response to the film which also showed workshop and hydro therapy pool areas where the residents learn a variety of new skillsfor conditioning their muscles. Comedian Johnny Wayne was commentator for the documentary which also has a brief appearance by Bobby Hull, another well-known Canadian who is on the governing board of the Marlk- ham centre. But the real stars of the film were the residents whose interviews brought out a determined outlook on life. Plans for the Durham re- gion project call for a work- shop, greenhouse and involve- ment centre to serve 24 full-time residents, 30 others on a daily bussed-in basis and six residents on an emer- gency-care, family relief basis.

A RTHRITIS NEWS People ail over the world suffer from arthritis.- Big people, little people ... people of all ages, from all walks of life. Arthritis is anybody's illness. Progress against these diseases has taken a dramatic upswing in the last thirty years progress fihroughl research with the result that medical science can now prevent disability in about four out of five patients suffering even the most severe forms of arthritis. Arthritis is now being controlled for some, but not for all. Arthritis due to infection can be cured. Arthri- tis due to gout can be completely controlled. Treat- ment methods have been developed which can prevent disability in about 80 per cent of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The ultimate goal of The Arthritis Society is the conquest of arthritis. Time, the most important factor in the treatment of arthritis is of great conse- quence, too, in the immediate exchange of information from country tq country. For it is this intellectual network of research which has been a major factor in the progress which has been achieved. Studies supported by the Society are aimed at applying these latest world-wide ad- vances in patient care. We are working toward the best arthritis control program i11 the world. The fight against arthritis is on the marchi around the world. Knowledge is advanc- ing in a significant number of countries; research into the cause and cure lias been accelerated; the fighit against the crippler lias captured the imagingation of tens of thou- sands of people and the dramatic improvement in methods of treatment and results in the prevention of disability have been fully documented. To continue this progress in arthritis researchi, there is a growing need for a massive infusion of govern- ment funds to strengthen medical researchi generally, according to The Arthritis society. The Society is proud of its contribution as a partner in the global strategy ta con- quer these diseases. But the conquest of arthritis demands that we know how to prevent these diseases - not just how to treat them better. This will be the ultimate result of world- wide research efforts in which Canada must play its part. The focal points for Cana- da's rapidly developing arthri- tis control program are the Rheumatic Disease Units located at university medical schools. These Units spear- head research, teaching and patient care. There are now 16 Units, one at every medical school in Canada. This net- work of RDUs has been an important Society objective since 1969. September is "Arthritis Month" in Canada. The Ar- thritis Society needs your support to wipe out disability and suffering due to arthritis. Real hope now exists.

Makes Money In addition to that, the Hale disposai site is making money for the Region of Durham. That's because the region charges the town between $2,000 and $3,000 for the Hale disposal site. But it pays the dump owner only $1,650 every month for the property. The reuiit is a surplus for regional coffers of about $18,000 annually. "As far as the region is concerned, it's been a profit- able venture," Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said at the council meeting. But, there may not be a profit for the Town of New- castle. Many Sides Mayor Rickard described the Ward three garbage situa- tion as a many sided issue. One other side of the issue is the fact that the Town of Newcastle has no money to pay the garbage funds for the Hale site for the next two months. "We have absolutely no money to pay for it in the budget," said Councillor Lyall last week. 246 KING STREET BOWMANVILLE Free Delivery on Al Orders Over $20 ________________M M Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July 28, 1976 3 à% covered in a 13,000 volt (Frou dhog switching cubicle when the PUC investigated the cause o the power failure.

Councillor Lyall said the money the region is paid for the Hale dump comes directly from the pockets of the taxpayers in ward three. He said the cost of the dump site had added to the taxes of local residents and he argued that it would be a grave injustice for the region to continue to support the Hale dump. Councillor Bruce Tink said "we're the only municipality operating more than one disposal site. It just can't go on." .He agreed that the people of Ward three couldn't afford the Hale dump. gImmMIL Francis Tennant Fuels R.R .1, Orono Ont. 983-5693- Summer Sale Continues Smart Summer Stylings at Substantial Savings COME IN TO THE STATESMAN CENTRE KING ST.
