Home wanted for head njury vicetims The Head Injury Association of Durham Region is looking for a community re-entry/hallway bouse for victims of head injuries. "People who survive head in- juries need a halfway house for short or longterm care, " states Roy Walker Smith of Port Perry, an association member. "Most do not get a chance. Many end up in a mental hospital. Obviously, this is not where they belong, but should be sornewhere else. " He says a community re- entry/halfway bouse offers the benefits of friendship, information and services with other survivors and famnily. Head injury victims receive ex- cellent care in hospital trauma units, he says, but some need sup- port after-hospitalization.

Correction An article in last week's edition should have stated that the new Oshawa location of Office Equipment Company of Canada Inc. includes Canon equipment. It was incorrectly stated that Office Equipment is a Cannon product centre. The article should have also mentioned that the head office is in Montreal whilé an office, as well as a warehouse, is located in Markham. The Oshawa location was also established because of growth in this area. The Free Press regrets the errors and omissions.
