June 12,1974 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER T V Self-improvement the goal of Special Olympics The enthusiasm and determination on their faces says it all. It says that just 24 hours from now 10 pupils' from the Bruce Lyn School for the .Trainable Retarded will Fbe a part of something special that could breathe a new feeling of worth into their lives. As of tomorrow, June 13, those 10 anxious youngsters w ill be winging their way to Winnipeg for the 1974 Special Olympics. Three months of steady coaching and training have gone before, and now only the feverish excitement of the real competition remains. The Special Olympics program began in 1968, and with it began a new chapter in the lives of many of this country's retarded children.

There is one significant difference, however, between the Special Olympics to be held this week and the Olympic Games with which we are all so familiar. When each retarded child takes his place at the starting line, he will not be seeing visions of national anthems and glory. For him, the dream of victory will be a very personal one.

Bruce Lyn's 10 Olympic hopefuls have been practising five days a week for the past three months. Guiding them through thei r dai ly sessions has been Mrs. Ruth Clouse, a volunteer worker with the mentally retarded who will also accompany the children to Winnipeg.
