It was typically optimistic for David, now 28, who has muscular dystrophy, just as his 31-year-old sister has it. But the two of them are now attending university -- David at Carleton, Ann at York -- and, thanks in part to the help, they have had over the years from The Ability Fund (formerly called the March of Dimes), their future looks comparatively bright. David is married and lives with his wife and four:year-old daughter in an apartment in Ottawa where this year he started a three-year course in psychology. Ann is living in residence at York University where she is in her second year, majoring in sociology. She even has enough energy left over from her studies to be a member of both the Atkinson College Association and the Atkinson Students' Association committee which is planning "Phase Two" of the York building program. Ann is especially pleased to be able to report that she has no difficulty getting around the York campus because all the buildings have ramps for wheelchairs. 143 Queen Street Blanche Dalton Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wray, still live in Brockville where Mr, Wray is an electro-chemical plater and Mrs. Wray is a registered nurse's assistant. "The Rehabilitation Foundation and its Ability Fund have done a terrific job for the children over the years," said Mr. Wray. This included providing wheelchaiis and lifts for them during the years before creation of the provincial government's Vocational Rehabilitation Servicds. Since the time when David and Ann each in turn reached the age of 19 and had their files turned over to the Foundation by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, the Foundation, in their mother's words, has been "a knowledgeable and concerned friend." The Rehabilitation Foundation for the .Disabled, except in 30 communities in the province where it is a member of a United Appeal, conducts an Ability Fund drive each January. Its prime concern is finding suitable work for disabled adults in the conviction that there is no satisfaction whiCh can equal that which comes with doing work and being paid for it. Both Ann and David Wray look forward to working in their respective professions when they are through with their courses. Phone 482-6675 Mary Grigg The extremely popular Forsyte Saga returns to Channel 10 Sundays at 2:00 p.m. starting on January 24. Evidence of the popularity of the British series was indicated when the program was interrupted one evening during the initial showing on the station due to a micro-wave failure. The switchboard was flooded with calls and the episode was replayed on another night. The series follows the fortunes of the fictitious Forsyte family through several generations. John Galsworthy's Forsyte family is known throughout the world through the television series and even enjoyed great success in Russia. Under Attack, now scheduled at 11:40 p.m. Sundays will move to 3:00 p.m. Sundays immediately following the Forsyte Saga — also on January 24. Mr. Wingrove, station manager, also announced that a new program featuring Henry Fonda, called 'The Smith Family' starts on Channel 10 at 7:30 p.m. Fridays on January 22 replacing the about-to-be cancelled 'Governor & J.J.'. " 'The Governor & J.J.' actually did well on our station", ,said Mr. Wingrove, "but since the program has been cancelled in the U.S. it is no 1. The cars are starting to roll. The production lines are back in business producing the finest new Chevrolets and Oldsmobiles ever. All great reasons why you should see your Chevrolet-Oldsmobile dealer today. Years ago, buying textiles was easy. You could only buy natural materials like wool, linen, silk and cotton; and practically everyone knew what to expect of these easy-to-identify fibres. Today's consumers enjoy all the benefits of man-made fibres, but many shoppers are bewildered by hundreds of brand names which mean little to them. Confusion exists because over 700 different brand names are now on the market. But there are, in fact, only 17 types of man-made fibres and most of this confusion would disappear if they were labelled by their generic names. Generic relationship is best understood by comparing it to a person's name: the brand name corresponds to the first or given name, while the generic is the family name or surname. To know who someone is, you must know his family name. The same applies to textiles. Consumers should know the generic or family name, if they are to Jcnow what they are buying. Some manufacturers have voluntarily labelled their textile products using generic names, but something more needed to be done to take the guesswork out of textile buying. So the Canada Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs sponsored a flew Textile Labelling Act which will go a long way towards correcting the situation. Now, textile products such as wearing apparel, yard goods and household textiles, will be clearly labelled to disclose fibre content by generic names and the per6entages of the content for each fibre. For example: one fabric may be acrylic only; another fabric may be a blend of 60 per cent polyestei and 40 per cent cotton. This information must now be marked on the article when it is sold you, the consumer. The legislation also prohibits fraud and deception in the labelling and advertising of textile articles. No longer will you have to guess whether or not a dress is made of pure wool, or try to decipher some mysterious trade name. The fibre or blend of fibres will be clearly marked on an attached label and you will know that this information is true, Here is a list of the 17 generic or family names that manufacturers will use for man-made fibres. Some may be familiar; others may not, though you may have been buying them under different trade names. For example, polyester is the generic name of the fibre used in many drip-dry garments, Take a good look at these generic names —soon, 37,ou will see them whenever you buy certain textile products: acetate, anidex, acrylic, azlon, glass, metallic, modacrylic, nylon, nytril, olefin, polyester, rayon, rubber, saran, spandex, vinal, vinyon. The Regulations for the Textile Labelling Act will be announced shortly, Industry will then have a period of grace in which they will change their labels to include generic names. It is hoped that industry, when making this mandatory change, will also include the voluntary care symbols. This voluntary care labelling system has been introduced by the Honourable Ron Basford, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs because you, the consumer, need to know what you are buying and also how to care for it. The generic name with the care symbols on a permanent label will"' give you this information. While the naming of the textile will be mandatory, the care labelling system is voluntary. If you don't see it, ask for it. This is the way to let industry know that you want this information — that you want to know what you are buying and bow to look after it. Clinton.
