A number of local folk have been enjoying a color tour along the side roads of Cartwright. The panoramie view of the hill sides are breath taking in their beauty. Strangers passing through the village have stopped to take pictures. In fact, one young man, when almost past a very beautiful tree, pulled off to the side, reversed his car and stopped to get that color on film. The wild geese have been going south. So you suppose they could be wrong. With this glorious weather and beautiful country side it seems a shame to sec them leave so early.

Assisting Lori with her lovely gifts were Mrs. Howard Lee, Miss Donna Sutton, Mrs. R. Keeler and Mrs. Neil Lee who fashioned the be-ribboned bat.

After which her mother Mrs. Johnstone expressed her aooreciation and extended an invitation to a trousseau tea at their home, Sunday, October 5 from 2-5 and 7-9. The ladies served the usual delicious and super-abundant refreshments and a social hour followed. Best wishes for "much happiness" are extended to Lori and her fiance Mr Anthony Joseph Zoet. A movie, a football game, a cam ing holiday, church on Sun ay morning. Pretty or- dinary outings for most of us. But not for the physically handicapped adult. Not until recently, that is. But "times they are 'achangin"' and just this past season 170 men and women were given the oppor- tunity to enjoy a real camping holiday, taking part in al the usual outdoor sports: swimm- ing, fishing, canoeing. In short, participating. And it was al due fo the March of Dimes diligent work with governments, service clubs, conservation authorities and others 542 men and women attend- ed the March of Dines' travelling clinics in four Onario centres during 1974. Five specialists, a brace maker andalimb maker were on hand to offer specialist consultation at the invitation of local medical societies and doctors to patients whose disabilities make travelling hundreds of miles to larger centres a hazardous and painful undertaking. These are just two of the services offered by the Ont- ario March of Dimes, whose beginnings go back to 1951 and whose purpose then was solely to provide medical and rehabilitation assistance to polio victims and to find research intf a cure for polio. Four years later saw the development of the Salk vaccine. And it was the March of Dimes who organized and conducted the clinics that led to the virtual elimination of this crippling disease. But what of the people who had already contracted polio and who needed medical and rehabilitation assistance? What about the thousands of accident victims, the aged, and the victims of crippling strokes? The Ontario March of Dimes again took the initia- tive and established rehabili- tation centres throughout the province for all physically handicapped adults, whatever the cause. Today, the role of the March of Dimes bas assumed new dimensions. An intensified program of public awareness is beginning to break down the social barriers that for so long stereotype the disabled adult as helpless, and hopeless. And continuing strong representa- tion at aiilevels of govern- ment: federal, provincial, municipal and civic is having its effect on transportation and architectural barriers. Ramps, elevators, doorways of public buildings; curbs; buses; formerly all areas that denied the handicapped ac- cessibility to the community are being modified slowly but surely to enable the disabied adult to integrate and partici- pate in today's society. None of the foregoing pro- grams would have been pos- sible without the generous support of Ontario residents, nor will the expanded 1976 f lans for additional camping acilities, clinics, recreational activities and Ability Centres.
