sdovtbrtpaq marching aothers fou in t 1930s by the late come- dianr eddie cantort the march of dimes was originally established to fight the then dreaded poliomyelitis or as the pubhcsp wrongly catt ed it infantile paralysis those were the days of the gteatdepres- sion eddie believed that although most persons could illafford to spend money to help others they could part with a dime or two the movement was incorporated in ontario jn 1951 as the ontario chapter of the canadian foundation for poliomyelitis when develop ment of salk vaccine ended most of the worry of the crippling disease the organization changed its role to that of rehabilitating all disabled it is now called the rehabilitation foundation for the disabled the foundation starts in where the society for crippled children leaves off t concerns itself with all disabled and handicapped persons who are 19 and over and cannot be helped by the workmens compensation board department of veterans affairs or other government welfare agencies supported by more than 40000 marching mothers the volunteer canvassers a 22-mem- ber volunteer medical advisory committee made op of some of the provinces finest orthopaedic surgeons and other specialists in the rehabilita tion field and a 40member volunteer board of directors the agency offers a service no govern ment or business could possibly afford actons marching mothers will be collecting for the march of dimes on monday january 31 through 10 branch offices the foundation gives aid to the disabled in every community by case or field workers although they are not professionally trained these young women and men provide the first real links to rehabilitation for most of the thousands of handicapped per sons aided yearly in the province in a few cases the handicapped or disabled person may need nothing more than a friendly word or an exchange of neighborhood news in another it may involve thousands of dollars to cover needs an artifical limb can cost more than 700 the foundations pride and oy of course is operation reliance inc an industrial plant it founded in suburban toronto it is staffed by disabled persons and used for training- of other potentially employable persons although its research program is small it is delving into specific areas common to many oftts cases this includes treatment of knee inpones andspmal disc disease caissons disease the bends and specific types of arthritis the foundation is a member of the cana dian rehabilitation council for the disabled and contributes to its support that agency secves as a co ordinator for the various provincial pro grams and as a sounding board for new ideas new ideas for you among new items for your profit and plea sure reported in the financial post are these three ideas first is a home sewage treatment system for use at cottages and n areas where central treatment systems are unavailable require no chemical additives made of noncorrosive fibre glass it has two aeration chambers that will satisfy the oxygen demands of the sewage and by serial dilution reduces chances of short circuit ing an automatic device triggers the sludge- return process using air to return contents into the first aeration tank the second new item is a belgian wheel barrow powered by a four hp motor easy to operate the unit moves forward when a bar is pushed moves backwards when the bar s posi tion is reversed the third idea recently developed concerns ceramic studs for use on tires claimed to be an improvement on the metal variety and to last for the life of the tire the studs are said to be quieter on dry pigment and wear more evenly its expected they will become available in time for use next winter stuff photo acton brownies received high praise from mrs carl

canadas 27th parliament be up to the challenge of the imposing workload listed fn the throne speech the financial post asks not unless the politicians finally learn the lesson of the nov 8 election that canadians want results and not hot air the measures now proposed raise some crucial issues what system will give canadian savers arjd borrowers the best service at the least cost what new institutions are needed to encourag healthy economic growth what is the mosf effective way to encourage canadian ownershi and control of canadian industry and resources if government and opposition
