Twice a day from all the way downtown, Leo makes his way up to Operation Reliance. It's a long haul and there'is no assist- ance offered by his firm. Leo is learning to become self-reliant and soon he intends to leave the hosoital where he is boarding and find accommodation in Weston. For nine workers who are emuloyed at Operation Reliance than" are eight other stories which may vary a little but have a common theme of courage, hope and self-reliance.

Situated in North York on Pellat Ave., here is a regular workshop which can work at all manner of short run products in metal stamping, screw machine products, spinning and assemblrwork. Sponsored by the "March of Dimes" Foundation the workshop is directly administered by Wade Hampton, a famous ext-skier who binding motor, boat Ftisdosos, parts to . plum: plaster ot pal-1g extruder Ind tuusd-made costume jewellery. _ T "We can prove ourselves more adaptable than a larger' shop," pointed out Mr. Conroy, "sam- ple orders which these larger shops don't want to be bothered with will easily fit into our production line." Mr. Conroy has been officially slated as re- tired by the larger firms, "but he is proving his weight in gold m ___ (“hm - __ -" as far as we are concerned," commented Wade Hampton. Another advantage that has already been proven in a handi- capped Workshop is the little amount of sick leave that is taken by the employees. “I have seen these kids pull them- selves in here looking pretty siek," admitted the business manager, "but none of them have missed a day yet and the records at Abilities Inc., reveal an exceptional feat of sick free working hours." The modifications in the), workshop tor the handicapped personnel are remarkably few. Two of the presses have been given hand controls to replace‘ the foot pedal but most of the other machines are being used much the same way as they ‘were intended. It's Interesting ‘to note," pointed out ,Hampton, 1“that over 25% of the person- nel employed by Abilities Ine., UNDERLAY PLYWOOD Ito. 9473‘ at by normal industry. In other words this shop can be the final stage in the rehabilitation of n Pere." In the Mates have Sea-mp:- "We hired our first man yes- terday with two sound legs," and Wade Hampton was obvi- ously pleased with this unique milestone, "within the next two years we hope to employ about thirty handicapped people and once we get into the real dollar making business and aid pay our debts then we will return our profits into the fund far the help of handicapped people." there is of cgurse no question ot if this is going to happen, A winter wedding in the late afternoon was the attractive set-l ting for the simple nuptials which united Miss Helen Farmer,‘ daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Far- mer of Alma Dr., Weston to Mr. William Flavell, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Flavell of St. Phillips Rd., Weston.
