"No matter what, this area is
going to have a workshop," These
words came from Bruce Shaw,
Exeter, treasurer of the South
Huron Association for the
Mentally Retarded, at an
association banquet and meeting
held in Grand Bend May 17.
"The kind of workshop though
depends on how much money we
can raise," he said.
The gathering was held to gain
support for the establishment of
an adult workshop for the
mentally retarded in the South
Huron district, and the overall
attitude was one of enthusiasm,
The group is a long way off the
estimated $86,000 cost of the
project, however, Mr, Shaw
reported that about $13,000 has
been collected thus far, through
canvassing and projects ranging
from the Skate-athon to the
raffling of a cake in a kin-
dergarten class.
The major question under
discussion was the suitability of
the Kongskilde building in
Exeter, as a site for the
workshop, The estimated cost of

A London man, George
Douglas Rovithis, was fined $50
after being found guilty of
possession of narcotics before
Judge Glenn Hays in Exeter
court, Tuesday.
He had pleaded not guilty to the
charge, which had been laid by
Exeter police on December 3.
On that date, Constable John
Cairns stopped four unknown
'4 youths on Main St. and in asking
for their identification, con-
fiscated a pipe from the accused.
It was examined and found to
contain a residue of some type of
narcotic.
Rovithis said he was unaware
of any substance in the pipe and
"'said it was part of a cane he used
to assist in walking. He was in the
habit of carrying the cane due to
a football injury.
Defense lawyer Frank Murphy,
London, said the manner in which
the pipe had been handed over to
the constable would indicate the
"accused knew nothing about what
was in it,
He also said that the residue in
a pipe was not evidence to merit a
conviction.
Special prosecuting lawyer P.
L. Raymond, Exeter, contended
'otherwise and said it constituted
possession of a narcotic.
In summing up, Judge Hays
said the residue in the pipe was
sufficient for analysis and he
indicated he was not impressed
with the story about the pipe
Queen's Graduate
Geordie M. Laughton, has
graduated from Queen's
University, Kingston. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Van
*Laughton, Grand Bend, and
attended Mount St, Joseph
Academy and South Huron
District High School. She plans
to do graduate work in speech
therapy at the University of
Toronto next year.
ih
the project is based on the cost of
the building and the price of
renovation and equipment.
Carfrey Cann, Exeter who
chaired the meeting, said the
main opposition to the site comes
from people who think that the
building is too large, and that the
extra space would be a
detriment, rather than an asset to
the location. Mr. Cann suggested
that it might be possible to rent
part of the 8,000 square feet of
space until such time as ex-
pansion becomes necessary.
Gerald Godbolt, Exeter, said
that he has already been ap-
proached about renting half of
the area for storage purposes,
Several questions were
directed to Mrs. Jesse Baxter,
Director of the adult workshop in
Tillsonburg, about space
requirements and expense of
establishing such a workshop,
"You can build it too small, but
you can never have too much
space," she said. She said the
provincial yardstick of $1,000 per
trainee is about right for the
operation costs a the workshop.

Alth,ough there were 19 names
on the court docket, only a few
cases were disposed of in the
Tuesday court setting. Some of
the charges were withdrawn
while the majority were ad-
journed to later dates.
Larry Scott Hamilton, Exeter,
was fined $50 after pleading
guilty to a charge of having liquor
in a place other than his
residence. He was apprehended
by police in Hensall on April 8 at
3:30 a.m. and had part of a case
of beer in his car on a parking lot.
James Hart, Watford, was
fined $10 on a charge of entering
onto the property of Bell
Bike, car crash,
youngster hurt
Only two accidents were in-
vestigated this week by officers
of the Exeter police department.
One involving two vehicles
caused little damage while in the
second a small boy suffered
minor injuries.
Tuesday morning, five year-
old Robert Tuckey, 52 Gidley,
Exeter suffered slight chest
injuries when he was struck by a
,car on Andrew street, just south
of Victoria.
The boy drove from behind a
parked car into a path of a
vehicle driven by Norman Jones,
71 Nelson street, Hensel]. He was
taken to South Huron hospital and
released shortly after. Constable
Ardell McIntyre investigated.
Damages totalled $125 When
vehicles driven by Donald
Wallace, 73 Simcoe street,
Exeter and Joan Hodgins, RR 1
Crediton, collided on the
Darling's IGA parking lot. The
incident was investigated by
Constable John Cairns.
One theft took place in town
over the long Victoria Day
weekend. Ray Brooks, 131 Main
street reported a power lawn
mower was taken from his
property sometime . between
Saturday and Monday.
Friday, two elementary school
students from Exeter were taken
on a tour of the London Police
station as a part of Police Week,

She added, however, that it is
more expensive to set up the
operation. "Most workshops do
need community financial
support, especially for the first
few years."
Mr, Cann said the association
has an option on the Kongskilde
building, but they have not yet
picked it up. He quoted the price
of the building as $68,000.
He said this site has many
advantages, including its central
location to industry and
recreation, easy accessibility by
the public, and its structure and
lay-out,
The main problem lies in
raising enough money to finance
the workshop.
"We must impress upon people
that the program will eventually
pay for itself and operate suc-
cessfully with community sup-
port," said Mr. Cann.
Mrs, Baxter emphasized the
other rewards of such a
program: "You get paid 100
times over for anything you do
for them,"
Thispoint was well demon-
Aerospace near Grand Bend.
Signs at the property warn
against trespassing.
The court was told there is a
certain amount of secrecy at-
tached to the property for defense
purposes.
Judge Hays delayed his sen-
tence on a charge against
Edward George Gloor, Centralia,
who pleaded guilty to damaging
the property of Steve Zachar, RR
1 Lucan.
On May 1, the accused was
shooting pellets at several pieces
of farm equipment on the Zachar
farm. Three batteries were
damaged with total loss less than
$50.
The accused said he "just had
nothing else to do".
Judge Hays reserved his
decision until May 30 for sen-
tence, which he said would be
influenced by Gloor's action with
regard to making restitution.
Another case was also con-
tinued to May 30, it involving a
charge against Marcel Pare,
Dashwood. He was charged with
causing bodily harm to Florence
Pare. The couple operate the
Dashwood Hotel,
Mrs. Pare was hospitalized
following an assault, the court
was told.
While continuing the case,
Judge Hays issued an ultimatum
to the accused that he was not to
enter the personal living quarters
of the complainant or be in her
presence except by her request,

"Opportunity Enterprises

familiar songs, and of two songs
Written by their accompanist,
Mrs, George Simmons, London.
After this delightful en-
tertainment, the meeting was
addressed by three speakers,
each involved at a different level
of education for the mentally
retarded.
The first was Mrs. WM.
Blewett, Principal of the Huron
Hope Nursery School. She said
that the idea at her school is to
give the children a head-start
before they enter elementary
school,
"Our whole goal .is to
prepare our children to enter
society and be responsible
citizens," she said,
The nursery school has
children between the ages of
three and 16, and Mrs. Blewett
announced that two of her five
year old students are graduating
to elementary schools.
She stressed that not all of the
pupils are mentally retarded.
Some have hearing problems,
some sight problems and all have
speech problems.
"We are working constantly
with them," she said. There are
two full and one part-time
teachers at the nursery school, as
well as a group of 25 volunteers,
who each work two days per
month.
"Good physical fitness is
paramount to good mental fit-
ness," said Mrs. Blewett. Thus,
the program of physical
education is very important at
Huron Hope, The school just
obtained a new gym-swing set for
the yard, and she expressed hope
that this will be of great benefit to
the children.
The second speaker of the
evening was Mrs. Gerald God-
bolt, President of the South
Huron Association, who
discussed work being done at the
Huron Hope elementary school.
The school is located in two
classrooms in the J.A.D.
McCurdy Central School at,
Huron Park, and has 15 students.
Her talk was accompanied by
slides and emphasized the ac-
tivities of the children and the
rapport they have with the rest of
the school. The senior pupils have
the same library privileges as the
other students, and often visit the
kindergarten class. Other ac-
tivities include skating and
bowling programs, painting and
celebrations of special events
from Hallowe'en to birthdays.
'It is necessary that they be
provided with as many outside
experiences as possible," said
Mrs. Godbolt, Consequently the
children have had outings to
Western Fair, to Eatons in
London to experience the
elevators and escalators, and
they go on many bus trips, often
accompanied by senior students
from the public school.
Mrs, Godbolt said that many of
the students at the Huron Hope
elementary school will soon be
ready to graduate to sheltered
workshops.
Mrs. Baxter was the third guest
speaker of the evening. She said
that the worth of an adult
workshop cannot be measured.
"When kids are ready to move
out of senior classes, they have
nothing. Their lives just become
one big emptiness. The workshop
fills up that space."
That's what prompted the
beginning of the workshop in
Tillsonburg. Seven years ago, it
started with three trainees in a
small store. Now the shop em-
ploys 30 young adults, in a set-up
comprised of a work area,
warehouse, farm and residence.
Aided by a film, Mrs, Baxter
explained and demonstrated the
many impressive ac-
complishments of the trainees:
hooked rugs, which have been
sold from coast to coast; fur-
niture refinishing; maintenance
work, plus care of the farm,,
selling its produce and numerous
other things,
"The purpose of the workshop
is to provide employment for the
more severely handicapped, and
to get as many as possible into
the community", she said. "We
have to remember that they are
whole people. They have
emotions like we have; they love
like we love; they want to be
accepted as we are accepted".
At the workshop, said Mrs.
Baxter, "we teach the art of
living; we teach the joy of living;
we teach them how to make a
living".
Two weeks ago, two young
people went out to take jobs in the
community, and they are not the
first, Often, they make more
money than the workshop staff.
In order to achieve this suc-
cess, it has taken a great deal of
effort and determination. Such a
project requires the support of an
influential, single-minded group,
said Mrs. Baxter. The continued
interest of the Association for the
Mentally Retarded is also
necessary, and of course, solid
financial support.
The meeting closed with a plea
by Mr. Cann to the ap-
proximately 40 member
audience, for this support.
