Thirteen years ago when Alfie
Dale, dove from 0 swimming raft
at Chesley Lake, a small rake-
outside ,of,Owen Sound, he had
no idea that his life was about to
make Ldramatic change. '
- the raft wa:s less thakihree
feet above the water and the
water a considerable depth, but
' the force of entering the water
from even this low height. was,
' "enough to 'fracture 'his neck
'The damage to his neck and •••
'spinal column resulted in "total
paralysis from the neck down and
' caused him to be bedridden for an
entire year.
Today..,,Alfie and his wife
, Without the use of his hands or
feet,',Alfie draws by holding the
drawing instrument in ttis teeth.
"It" takes a lot of practice,"
Claims Attie, "to develop, a
.smooth, steady stroke."
The mainstay of his, business is
the selling of the hasty notes
which his wife Lereen packages in
groupsbf ten and sells to
gift shops and'organizations that
cause them .for fund raising.
Unfortunately busineSsIS not
dtiing as well as it could because
of the difficulty of getting to
customers. "It's not that .people
don't like them," says Alfie, "but
»rather because we can't get out to
the shops and organizations to let
them know they are available."
Loreen, whowere married just six
weeks l)efore the accident, have
taken Up residence in 'Seaforth:
Mile, who, is now an•
acconipliShed artist, spends much
of. the day creating sketches for
upcoming art sales for 'hasty
notes'.
His ...sketches include such
subjects as . fishing boats,
antiques, landscapes, treesrlis,
favourit6 subjectbeing churcheS.,
His artistic 'talents-"were not
fully realized until ., after .his
accident. With encouragement
from his wife, he worked and
studied Continuously to develop
his talent
This coming stinimer, promiseS
to be a good one for the Dale's
because they have just moved
into an old home a block from the,
main street..
"With the wheelchair lift that
the Ontario March of-Mines has
provided at a cost of $i200.00 .the
people eLSeaforth will be seeing a
lot 'of me this suntmer," said
Alfie.
The lift not only, allows him to
get in and out of the house easily,
-but it gives a greater freedom of
choice when selecting a place to
live. pp until now Alfie was forced
to consider homes that had few or
no steps becau se Loreen could
not get him up a full set of stairs.
For the,past three months he
has eased up on his sketching 'to
study for his ham operator's
license even though-be does, not
have a hain set. "I enjoy taking .
the e course for interest sake. I
hope to own a set someday," said
Alfie.
The one thing that he wishes
would happen soon in Seaforth is
curb cuts. Curb cuts are a.„ method
of cutting the curb to form a.ramp
that meets fluSh with the road

• for the Ontario March of Dimes
gets underway on January 16,
1978 apd this year it is expected

drive is Mrs. William O'Shea 'who
is being assisted by, Mrs. Ma y
Habkirk, Mrs. Charles-Reeves; -
Mrs., Lillian Grummett and Mrs.
Alfred Beuerman. The number of

Lunn, Mrs. Ruth Smith; Seaforth
- Mrs. George ' Reeves, Mrs.
Frank Sills, Mrs. Frank Roberton,
Mrs. William Hodgert and. Mrs.
A. Beuerman.
Each captian will secure
enough canvassers for her
particular. . area-
Last year's campaign total was
by at least' 10% , if not 15%
The Ontario March of Dimes
provides a wide variety of
services t physically disabled
men a 'women. Wheelchairs,
brace respirators, artificial
limbs, nd other personal support,
items are provided to those in
need; camping holidays for shut-
ins are. another March of Dimes
-innovation,- - • :
The Ontario March of Diines
always respects the privacy of the
people it assists, so 'lack of lecaf
publicity doesn't mean no one
was helped. Your donation 'may
be helping a neighbour just
around- the eorner.
So please be as generous as you ,
can when the Ontario March of
