The students spent two days in Port Perry last week measuring doorways, curb heights, stairways, and recording the accessibility of washrooms and telephones, all of which can present dif- ficulties to persons confined to wheelchairs. According to project manager Elizabeth Greaves, the group found that general- ly, handicapped people would require assistance moving around Port Perry for such essential things as shopping, banking and getting their mail. Ms. Greaves said that the project will include all communities in Durham Region and once completed this fall, the information will be compiled in an Access Guide which will be avail- able to handicapped persons through the March of Dimes office in Oshawa. A similar Access Guide published in 1973, included information only for the Oshawa-Ajax-Whitby-Bow- manville area. It is hoped that the Guide will not only provide handi- -- Obituary -- LENA ISABELLA DOBLE Lena Isabella Doble passed away suddenly on Sunday, July 15th, 1979, just one week before her 80th birthday at Dr. J.O. Ruddy Hospital, Whitby. The Lord touched her and she slept. She was the daughter and only child of the late Daniel and Emma Parrott, of Ash- burn, Ontario. She was educated at Ashburn School. In 1918 she married Henry James Doble of Sunderland. They resided in Sunderland for one year, returning to Ashburn where for many years she cared for her invalid mother. Her husband predeceased her in February, 1960. Mrs. Doble then lived with her daughter and family until three years ago, when she became a resident of Fair- view Lodge. She was an active member of Burns Presbyterian Church, Ashburn, always very keenly interested in all aspects of the church, especially in the Ladies Guild, the Women's Mission- ary Society, and the Ladies Bible Class. Her life cen- tered around her home and her church. Mrs. Doble was a very devoted and loving Mother, Grandmother and great Grandmother, as well as a friend to all. Her home was always open to friends and neighbours, and always happiest when working in her kitchen providing for her family. Baking and needlework were two of her prime interests. Also a lover of music and flowers. Left to mourn her passing are her family, Jim and Lawrence of Toronto, and Florence (Mrs. D. Ashton) of Ashburn; grandchildren Phillip of Plattsville, Laurel and Chris of Toronto and capped persons with useful information about accessibi- lity of buildings, but also create greater public aware- ness of the problems the handicapped face because of architectural barriers. Ms. Greaves said that the four students recorded data in- Port Perry on shopping facilities, banks, churches, restaurants, places of enter- tainment, sports facilities, and public buildings such as the post office and the municipal office. Noting that the city of Oshawa now requires that curb cuts be made at all intersections during new construction of city streets, Ms. Greaves said the group will contact the authorities to ask that curb cuts be part of the design for the recon- struction of Queen Street scheduled for next summer. The project in Durham was funded through the March of Dimes organiza- tion by a federal Young Canada Works grant. August good time to seed lawns Mid-August is one of the best times for seeding lawns, according to gardening spe- cialists in the lawn and gard- en section of Canadian In- dustries Limited. This advice applies wheth- er you are seeding simply to thicken up an old lawn or to start a new one. Soil preparation is import- ant for a new lawn, accord- ing to the CIL spokesmen. Remove all trash and stones. Break up lumps and add organic matter, such as cow manure, humus, peat moss, or fine "Turface" to heavy Ronald and Arnold of Ash- burn, great grandson Andrew. Reverend Stuart McEn- tyre officated at the funeral service held Wednesday, June 18th at 11:00 a.m. at the Carson Funeral Home and Chapel in Brooklin. Pallbearers were Lloyd Pugh, Cecil Vicars, Grant Parrott, Wm. Gardner, Hugh Knight and Walter Hopkins. Flower bearers were Phillip Doble, Chris Doble, Chris Tibbitts, Ronald Ashton, and Arnold Ashton. Interment Groveside Cemetery, Brooklin. (Pre- cious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.) clay or poor soil. Make sure that the grade will drain water away from the home. After preparation of the seed bed, the CIL specialists recomment fertilizing with CIL Turf Starter. Apply at 10 1bs. per 1000 sq. ft., and work into the soil to a depth of three to six inches. Water well to help settle the soil, allow to drain, and while the surface is still workable, rake the soil to a final grade and immediately seed using a spreader. For est results, the CIL spokes- men recommend making a split application at !%.-rate using a criss-cross pattern. Rake the seed in gently and tamp lightly with the back of the rake. Do not bury seed more than % to ¥% inch. Spray gently and keep con- tinually damp until the grass is at least one inch high. When grass reaches a height of 2% to 3 inches, it is ready for the first cutting. After the third cutting, the CIL spokesmen recommend fert- ilizing with CIL Golfgreen, or you can begin weed con- trol if necessary, with CIL Lawn Weed Doctor. The same principles used in starting a new lawn from seed also apply to sodding. Prepare and fertilize the seed bed, roll the sod lightly after laying to press it in place, and keep it moist until the grass is growing vigor- ously.
