HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1970-06-25, Page 9Yet, statisticians tell us about 25% of youngsters suffer from some kind of brain disfunction, Of these, 6.2 percent are educable to the high school level and .2 percent are capable of going to university. The Ontario Department of Education has a program in the larger centres for perceptually handicapped children at the elementary level. So far, there is no assistance in our county. And, as far as I know, there is no place where the department gives assistance to the people whose handicap has been diagnosed too late. Experts in the field say 'if a diagnosis is made by the time a child is eight, there is an excellent chance of him being successfully helped to overcome his handicap. But what about the older youngsters who didn't receive diagnosis until they were in their teens? They still can be taught. Granted, their education is expensive and it cannot be achieved successfully in the ordinary process of education in a conventional class room set up. To effect real success it must be done on a ratio of about four students to one teacher and with very special teaching methods. But surely, they are worth saving. The emotional difficulties which come out of the frustrations suffered by these people often make them problems to society and they sometimes become part of the criminal segment of our community. It costs a great deal more to keep a person in jail for several years or support him on welfare if he is not trained to support himself, than it does to send him to school for a few years and turn him out as a responsible, contributing citizen. It doesn t make sense to me! Now On Staff tr With the usual noisy arrival of the first group of 64 handicapped youngsters at Woodeden Camp on Sunday, June 28, the Ontario Society for Crippled Children commences its 25th annual summer camping season in the London area. Located on Springbank Road between London and Komoka, Woodeden Camp will accommodate 256 boys and girls of various ages and disabilities from the South-Western Ontario region in four two-week periods between now and August 23. Woodeden has 23 permanent buildings on 100 acres of carefully maintained grounds designed specially to meet the various needs of haridicapped youngsters. The Ontario Society owns and operates five such camps and, each year, more than one thousand youngsters from all parts of the province enjoy a novel camping experience thanks to the public's continued support of the Society's annual Easter Seal campaign. Because of this generous support of its comprehensive program of rehabilitation services and facilities, the Society extends an open invitation to view the camp any day throughout the summer, except during the children's rest period from 1:00 p.m:Tto 3:00 p.m. In addition, a special Camp Open House is planned for Sunday, August 2, when visitors will have an even better opportunity to inspect the camp and its facilities and observe the regular program. Such a visit affords an excellent opportunity to seejust one example of what Easter Seal contributions can accomplish. Each camp is under the capable direction of a specially qualified registered nurse and the program is conducted with the help of experienced camp counsellors from various colleges and universities. Many such students volunteer their time at camp. Although youngsters compete Man, daughter speak on Indians Bob Sutherland and his daughter Rhona, of Woodstock, spoke and showed slides to Caven W.M.S. Thursday evening. Both Mr. Sutherland and Rhona had spent part of last summer living and working on the Indian reserves of Scholl Lake and White Fish in northern Ontario with Operation Ojibiway. They spoke very comprehensively about the problems besetting Canada's native people and how they differ in their thinking and outlook from the rest of the population. Rhona and her younger sister Ruth contributed songs to the program. Mr. & Mrs. Sutherland and girls were entertained while in Exeter by their friends, Mr. & Mrs. Harold Gunn.

Fortunately, for our future a lot's being done about pollution right now. But to wage and win the war against pollution, Ontario needs your help. Who causes pollution anyway? The unpleasant answer: we the people. People who buy the products that industries produce. People with cars and boats. People who fly. People who build cottages and heat homes. Even people who keep live- stock. Pollution now is everyone's problem. What's government doing about pollution? The Ontario government is doing things. Since the formation of the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission in 1957 and the passing of the first provincial air pollution act in 1958, Ontario has become known as a world leader in the battle against pollution. Industrial Pollution. It's a crime. Stiff legislation is in force that makes pollution a crime in Ontario. It controls what our factories can put into the air and water and what they can't. These laws are being enforced and polluters are being fined. in addition Government en- gineers and pollution control experts are assisting industries in the plan- ning, design. and installation of pollution control equipment. War in the air Ontario has a task force at work clearing the air, The government has created an Air Management Branch with a highly trained staff of over 200 specialists and a multi-million dollar budget. With this kind of power directed at the air pcillution problem, we can all breathe a little easier. War on water The war on water pollution is being waged and won. The Ontario Water Resources Commission works with communities throughout the prov- ince to plan and construct water supply and sewage systems. To date, more than a billion dollars have been spent on such projects making On- tario's sewage treatment facilities the best in Canada. , . Pictured above is one of Ontario's 250 air monitoring stations. Some of these stations, equipped with the worlds most advanced instrumen- tation, check air quality and weather data which is then telemetered direct- ly to a central office for immediate assessment and action. What can you do about pollution? You can get concerned and stay concerned. You can make sure your boat, your cottage, your car or your plant isn't adding to the problem. You can tell your children and your- self that air is not an ashtray, rivers and lakes are not free sewers, and soil is not dirt. You can be prepared to invest in a clean, healthy province for our children. To do that we need a healthy economy to support our good in- tentions. One way you can help— when price and quality compare, shop Canadian. In Ontario, we're steadily beating the car in the battle for breath. Strict emission control regulations (the first of their kind in Canada) were introduced in 1968 and strengthened in 1969. The result: 1970 model cars contribute 70% less to air pollution than did pre-1965 models. Canada's life style of tomorrow presents many challenges. But it's Ontario's style to meet these challenges today. 0 Government of Ontario Department of Trade and Development in numerous games and activities, they do so not so much against each other but against their individual handicaps. Activities are designed to encourage individual participation by every camper, regardless of the degree or severity of his handicap, and to continue his active rehabilitation, both physically and emotionally, in pleasant surroundings. Above all, the idea is for a handicapped child to get away from his normal daily routine and have fun. f it I' Facts N'Fancies By Gwyn Last weekend fifteen sets of reversed so that was becomes saw. parents stood in a windswept Other boys have different yard and watched what may be difficulties.
