TED HOLMES 145 Deer Park Circle, London 471.6005 SYNDICATE LIMITED A The Ability Fund, formerly the March Of Dimes, is the agency Ontario which looks after the needs of physically disabled adults, whether their disability is the result of accident or disease,. It is primarily concerned with rehabilitation by means of finding suitable work for the handicapped in offices, in industry, in the organization's own workshops located in eleven different centres in the province, or at home, depending on how well a person cap overcome his or her handicap. The Ability Fund is adininistered by the Rehabilitation Foundation for the Disabled, which was incorporated in the Province of Ontario in 1951. • The new symbol of The Ability Fund is a little fir tree with one branch Missing. It has been adopted throughout Canada to represent agencies concerned with helping disabled adults. It was inspired by part of a poem called Ulysses written by Alfred Lord Tennyson in 1842 which reads: Stephen Francis, a 10-year-old student at Toronto's Sunny View Public School, has been selected as the 1970 Easter Seal Campaign's "Timmy". Campaign chairman W. D. Whitaker of Toronto emphasized that Timmy symbolized the more than 14,500 Ontario youngsters whose needs are. cared for by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children through Easter Seal Campaign donations. The 1970 campaign runs from February 26 to March 29. Stephen, a Montreal Canadiens' hockey fan, will make his first public appearances at the London and Toronto A 19-year-old man on crutches recently chucked his government disability pension for a :well-paying factory job thanks to training received in the Ability Fund (March of Dimes) Rehabilitation Centre at 122 Carling St., London., Suffering from a bone infection, Hugh X had spent many months in hospital, only to be put on the shelf as a "cripple" when he returned to his Southwestern Ontario home because he had no job history and did not really know what kind of work he was capable of doi9e. His doctor finally suggested a visit to the Rehab Centre in London. Here . skilful psychological probing uncovered the fact that he could work very rapidly with his hands at assembly work. He undertook training at the Centre for five weeks, living in a boarding house found for him by a staff member, and then Furniture styles and trends in the Seventies will place more emphasis on space in all senses of the word. See-through plexiglass furniture for home and office will compete for favor with brightly colored molded acrylic styles. Collapsible furniture will be more apparent as Canadians continue to move with their unusually high frequency. ' Traditional favorites in the Mediterranean, Spanish and Scandinavian styles will continue to be high in popularity, although they will be seen combined with "hot" colors as well as the neutral shades Canadians have preferred in previous years. Color will play an increasingly important role in home decor. Metallic gold and silver, red, and mix and match combinations are expected to be the fashion in furniture. There will be more blending of psychedelic tones such as pink, orange and yellow: stripes contrasted with checks. And the gypsy patchwork quilted look .presently popular in women's fashions will likely show up in furnishings sometime next Fall. More "natural" finishes such as fur, wood and bare brick will be seen as the young generation's preference • for function rather than elegance grows in acceptance. A range of furniture and furnishings will be shown — in every price range and style. Matching accessories such as lamps and ornaments are in abundance to complement this exciting new look in decor for the home or office. The portability of furniture is now an important factor, because Canadian families are changing homes with increasing frequency. Designers are working side by side with architects in this area, to produce furniture which will collapse for easier packing and shipping. The latest apartment building designs now include "moving rooms" on the ground floor to accommodate the household effects of people moving in and out. This will eliminate some congestion on elevators, and if furniture is collapsible the task will be even easier. Mediterranean and Spanish styles have already been scaled down in. size to fit more appropriately .into Canadian homes, and will be as popular in the Seventies as in more recent years.' The blending of selected pieces of old and new styles of furniture is perhaps the style of home decorating which most reflects individuality. Traditional pieces of early French, Italian, Spanish or English styles can be quite successfully mixed with ultra-modern steel and glass. Canadian pine pieces also fit into this category, and will be in growing demand in the new decade. For the past couple of years Scandinavian teak has been made for export only. The finely grained wood has been replaced in Scandinavian homes by rosewood, and the trend is now being felt in Canada, Although it is more expensive than teak, is a muchemore elaborate grain in a darker tone, it is slowly making an impact on the Canadian market. It is expected to make a considerable impression during the next few years. Obiedive met The 1969 .ester Seal, campaign for Ontario Crippled Children reached its $1,470;004 objective in the closing days the year, campaign chairman, W, D. 'Whitaker of Toronto announced today. Mr, Whitaker, said a late surge of industrial and Welfare fund year-el-id donations ensured the camPaign'S success. "Fulfilling our objective," Mr. Whitaker said, "will serve as an incentive for the 1974 campaige." I.He said that although no target figure has yet been set, the Ontario Society for Crippled Children is faced with the dual problem of rising costs and rising demands for its services. Mr. Whitaker explained that the campaign, although concentrated during the pre-Easter period, actually extends over a much longer period of time and donations to the Society are always acceptable. The campaign is conducted by the Society in conjunction with more than 230 service clubs across Ontario, Mr. Whitaker said, "and credit must go to these clubs as well as to thousands of individual and corporate donors for the campaign's success." Funds raised during the campaign are used to provide a wide range of services and equipment needed by Ontario's 14,50Q crippled children beyond those which are provided by official hospitalization and' health plans. The Society, he said, maintains a province-wide nursing service, operates five summer camps for crippled children, and assists in providing a wide range of treatment and special equipment for the youngsters, Easter Seals funds also assist in the operating costs of the Ontario Crippled Children's Centre in Toronto and are provided for medical research into the causes of crippling conditions. A major portion of the funds collected in each community, Mr. Whitaker said, are retained by the sponsoring service club for the direct care and treatment of local crippled children.

The son of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Francis of Hunter St, Toronto, he is a top student in his Grade 5 class and hopes some day to pursue a theatrical career. Stephen, Ontario's 24th Timmy, has attended the Society's Blue Mountain Summer Camp at Collingwood for the past three years. returned to his home town where, in less than a month, he secured* a job doing assembly, work in a sitting position. 4 "A case of fitting the man t6 the job," comments Mrs. Van Riesin, Chairman of the Clinton Ability Fund Mothers' March. "Hugh is now happily paying taxes instead of receiving a government pension." Many thousands of disabled men and women in Ontario urgently need similar rehabilitation, added the Chairman. "Maybe they are disabled through accident or disease, we don't care what the cause as long as we can help these people achieve some measure of independence and a happier life." The traditional one-hour "Mothers' March" for funds will take place on Monday, February 2. Contact Mrs. Bert Clifford if you would like to volunteer as a Marcher.

The Rehabilitation Foundation feels that both its new campaign title, The Ability Fund, and its new symbol serve to represent its ideals. The name reflects the organization's efforts to promote the abilities of the'. disabled, convinced that whatever the handicap, many people still have abilities left to help them function as part of the community. The symbol suggests that even though the tree is disabled, it is still growing and thriving, even as a disabled adult who has the will and a helping hand to get started. The Ability Fund has eleven workshops called Rehabilitation Industries distributed throughout Ontario, The' much is taken, much abides; and the' We are not now that strength.

Standard sizes help in buying clothing "Canada Standard Sizes for children's clothing are catching on," says Ron Basford, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs. In a statement issued today, the Minister said, "A year and a half r ago, before my Department became involved with the Canada Standard Size program, there were only 33 licensees. Today there are 165, and applications keep coming in." The Canada Standard Size system is voluntary. Firms that obtain a license agree to meet CSS specifications on any clothing they manufacture and label as a CSS garment. The CSS label carries the words "Canada Standard Size" within a coiled tape measure showing the figures of two different sized children. "Because the system is voluntary," said Mr. Basford, "consumer demand will determine the extent to which it is used, I would urge all parents, therefore, to look for CSS clothing and if they don't find it, to ask for it, Measurement charts arenow in son catalogues and are available from my Department," The Canada Standard Size system was developed to help bring some order into the chaos of size differences in children's clothing. Years ago sizes were based on age, but as every mother knows, one six-year-old is not necessarily the same size as another six-year-old. And one manufacturer's size six could be quite different from another's. The Canada Standard Size system is based on body measurements. Parents can determine their child's Canada Standard Size by taking three or four critical measurements. When they buy a garment made to CSS specifications they can be assured that it will fit those measurements. "The advantage to consumers," said Mr. Basford, "is that if a garment is a CSS size, they know it will conform to the body measurements. There is no guess-work. It simplifies catalogue arid telephone ordering, and it reduces return and exchange of clothing." He pointed out that this is a valuable ' benefit to retailers as well. '"I - have been very gratified with the response we have received in thepast few months from retailers and manufacturers," the Minister said, "and I expect more and more to swing behind this program in time for the Spring season."
