Odds n' Ends Recently a movie was brought back by popular demand to local theatres. "The Other Side of The Mountain" was the true story of an. American skier, Jill Kinmont. Elect MARGARET McCLURE For School Board In 1955, she had a chance to make the Olympic team, An accident in the qualifying race, however, ended her career and left her paralyzed from the neck down. The film told of her reaction to her sudden handicap. First she refused to accept it; she was determined to walk and to ski again. When she finally resigned herself to the fact she would never walk again, she turned her efforts to rehabilitation. She made the most of the bodily func- tions that remained, and she resolved to make her life a useful one. The movie also described the reactions of the people around her. Her parents tried to protect her and went along with her vain By ELAINE TOWNSHEND hope that she might some day recover. Her best friend bluntly told her the truth and jarred her from her delusion. Her fiance could not cope with her inability ,to walk, but another man helped her to stand tall in her wheelchair. Jill enrolled in university and set teaching as her goal. However, she discovered that handicapped persons were not allowed to study for teaching cer- tificates. "No one would hire you, anyway," she was told. The dean finally conceded that, if she found a school willing to hire her, she could study for a teaching diploma, She contacted a small Indian school near her home town, that needed a qualified teacher. The school board helped her, and she helped them. When she graduated, it became her first teaching posi- tion. She is now teaching, I believe, in California. Most of the movie's reviews have been favourable, but one called it a "wishy-washy love story." True, it was probably dramatized in many ways, but it said some important things that I hope the audiences understood., Of course, Jill's story was an inspiration to all handicapped persons. Unfortunately, because of the steps in most modern theatres, many people in wheelchairs were excluded from seeing it, But the movie had a message for the non-handicapped members of the audiences, too. Although people might be changed on the outside by physical disabilities, they re- main the same inside. They are still useful persons with pur- poses, and they can help others, if allowed to. Each handicapped person should be able to explore his or her potential, and a well- meaning but misunderstanding society should not stand in the wa Iy. hope the audiences saw beyond the love story, the tragic scenes, and the tear jerking dialogue, and came away with more than red eyes. I hope they were receptive to the important message. It is encouraging to see a movie, such as "The Other Side of The Mountain," pointing out things that people might not otherwise take time to think about. MR. AND MRS.

Ball of Gorrie was guest speaker at the general meeting of > xeter United Church Women. He based his talk on the question Jesus asked his Disciples "Who are people saying I am? Who do you think I am?" He spoke of Christ's unique life, death and resurrection and that we must believe on Jesus to be saved. People today are so depressed because they have lost the meaning and purpose of life, They are stuffed with gadgets and not the spirit -of Christ, However there is a great fascination with Jesus today as people search for help. Mary Fisher led the worship, assisted by Carol Willard, Marion Kerslake, Jean Mills and Helen Coates. The theme of the worship was "Home for Christmas", President Ada Dinney con- ducted the business. It was reported proceeds from the bazaar were $1,069. The meeting decided to pur- chase a shelf for the telephone, sent $500 more for the allocation, give $200 to start a Resource Centre in the church and to hold a tea towel shower for the kitchen.
