cally
.
Handicapped Adults.. She
gave a resume of her early; life
andof - the ' difficulties
etieeM4reds-by .,the "physlgally
handicapped in everyday living:
!"Alpha" would.. like ' to make
the public aware that the pllysi-
cally. handicapped would like to
be involved in the community.
They would - like to. make. the,
public aware of their problems
and to suggest to town councils
how they can help when building
arenas or putting in new side-
walks, etc, to make, it possible .for
the physitallyJiandlcapped to use
the facilities. .Some suggestions
were ramps, instead of steps,
washroom doors wide enoUgh to
accommodate wheelchairs and
curb cuts on sidewalks.
Mrs. M. Connolly was hostets

Chalmers. Mrs. Connolly chaired
the , program. Mrs: Wm.
McDowell' gave current events
- -with her usual little ..touch of
humonr..
Mrs. James Drummond gave a
,thought provoking motto in which ,•
she didn't altogether agree with
the assigned topic "Young people •
Who march in protett should
remember the roads were paid for
by their fathers." She brought
out that young people do not do
all the .protesting, the 'teachers
and the Unions seem to be doing' ,
Most of it.'
