THE MCHENRY PLAINDEA LER "SERVING THE CH AIN-O-LA KE S REGION SINCE 1875 SECTION 2, PAGE 1 WEDNESDAY, MAY 7,1969 GOODWILL WEEK IS OBSERVED IN WITHIN AREA The observance of Goodwill Week in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin is part of a nation-wide event sponsored by Goodwill Industries in 172 cities in the United States and in 22 cities elsewhere in the world. The program which provides vocational rehabilitation services and sheltered employment to handicapped people here is helping 84,000 handicapped men and women annually throughout the country, Norman K. Dasenbrook, local Goodwill executive, explained. Each Goodwill Industries is an autonomous, community-directed agency organized as a non-profit corporation in its own state, he said. They work together through membership in a national organization called Goodwill Industries of America, Inc., with headquarters in Washington, D.G. The 172 Goodwills in the United States comprise the largest network of vocational ..rehabilitation workshops serving all types of handicapped people in the nation, he said. Generally known as sheltered workships, they provide about half of all services provided by all sheltered workshops in the U.S. The program seeks to test, counsel, train, employ and place people with all varieties of mental and physical handicaps. The major part of its operation is a work program through which handicapped people can learn skills, receive work conditioning or find steady employment if they cannot get jobs in normal business and industry. Goodwill Industries operates in a manner that gives the handicapped a chance to help themselves, Dasenbrook pointed out. Wages paid to the disabled keep them off welfare rolls, and they become taxpayers instead erf being tax burdens. Goodwill Week, sponsored by all of the Goodwill Industries throughout the nation, encourages greater public consideration of the needs of handicapped people and the programs of agencies seeking to help them. Mr. Dasenbrook estimated that for every handicapped person served, at least five others are waiting for help.
