April 7, the fourth meeting of a
group to aid the handicapped was
held in the HoImesville Public
School Library. New members
were welcoined from Brussels,
Exeter and Kincardine.
The committee. that appeared
before the Goderich Town
Council, April 5, reported the
Council was receptive to their
proposals regarding curb cuts in
sidewalks and ramps for
wheelchairs into public buildings.
The Council referred the matter
to the town engineer and the
public works committee for
study.
In addition, the group decided
to send letters to all the Clerks of
Huron towns, urging the Councils
to consider the needs of the
handicapped in the future con-
struction and maintenance of
public facilities and sidewalks.
Hopefully, the Councils will be
contacted before the summer
work projects begin.
A discussion followed con-
cerning a design for curb ramps,
that will be most susceptible to
all members of the public in-
cluding the blind and the elderly
as well as the physically
disabled. The fan-shaped corners
found in some sidewalks in
Kincardine were cited as a
possible answer. More in-
formation will he gathered,
Other problems encountered by
the handicapped were men-
tioned: telephone booths that are
too small for wheelchairs, public
phones mounted high on the
walls, washroom sinks with
spring-loaded taps and elevators
with the buttons high on the wall.
These are only a few problems
the organization plans to in-
vestigate. in the near future.
The next meeting will be held in
the Holmesvilic Public School
Library April 22 at 8 p.m.
Everyone is welcome.

proximately 4 miles west of

After opening with a pot-luck
luncheon, attended by over 40
members, the South Huron
Hospital Auxiliary held its
monthly meeting, Tuesday af-
ternoon.
Mrs. Charlene English,
director of Nursing, inquired if
the auxiliary would be interested
in buying some new bed-units,
and it was decided to purchase
six.
Mrs. English also brought up
the need for a volunteer recep-
tionist in the emergency-X-ray
department of the hospital from 9
to 12 a.m. each day. She pointed
out this department is especially
busy from this time of the year
on. Several members showed an
interest and will meet with Mrs,
English prior to the May meeting
which will be the last meeting
until September.
One of the highlights of the
meeting was the presentation of
`100 hour' charms to three Candy
Stripers, Nancy Hern, Mary
Schlenker and Cathy Fleming.
Susan Chapman, who was unable
to be present, will also receive a
charm for 100 hours of service,
Mrs. Barb Harrison presented

Waiting in a bus station can be
amusing, irritating or
enlightening, as I found out
recently while waiting for a
friend in a cramped bus stop in
Stratford.
The eleven seats were
arranged in a T-shape. When
entered, five people with their
bags and coats occupied ten
chairs. I squeezed into an empty
spot in the middle of the longer
row.
No sooner was I settled than the
man to my right crawled past. He
planted his boot squarely on my
right foot and slapped me in the
face with his coat, which was
slung over his left arm. I was still
wincing when he returned two
minutes later with a pocket
novel.
It was only the first of many
trips. He was one of those readers
who scans the first page and the
last and decides he has digested
the gist of the story. Every five
minutes he was ready for another
one.
Meanwhile the man on my left
studied the latest edition of a
newspaper. He held the paper at
arm's length as though he was
still sitting at, his breakfast table.
Each time our speed-reader
passed, however, he had to
crumple up the pages. His glare
said more than a thousand-word
monologue, but the passerby
didn't seem to notice.
Likewise, an elderly lady in the
outside seat seemed oblivious to
the commotion. She was knitting
a scarf, and the clicking of her
needles accompanied the
scratching of a nail file wielded
by a young girl in the shorter row.
The latter filed until I feared she
would have no nails left,
Next to her perched a peanut
lover. The lady popped one
peanut at a time into her mouth
and slowly crunched it. Although
the bag looked small, its contents
seemed endless. Finally she
shook the last nut from the
package and rolled up the bag in
her hand. She' then became a
human trash-compactor, twisting
and squeezing the paper. I was on
the verge of offering to take it to
the garbage can, when she did it
herself.
She didn't return to her seat
directly; instead she detoured to
a vending machine on the far
wall. With horror, I realized the
machine contained candy and —
you guessed it — peanuts.
About this time, I noticed I was
developing some ,nervous habits
of my own. My right foot twit-
ched, probably fearing another
stomp from the bookworm's boot.
My eyes darted from the clock to
the peanut lady to the door and
back again. I felt like a prisoner
waiting for word from the parole
board.
As each bus pulled in, six
bodies strained forward and
twelve eyes searched for its
destination. When we realized it
wasn't the 5:15 from Toronto, we
slumped back into our seats. By
5:27, the bookworm had sampled
every paperback on the shelf, the
knitter's scarf had turned into an
afghan and I was tempted to let
my friend walk home. For-
tunately for her, the bus arrived
at 5:28.
We all gathered up our
belongings automatically and
filed out the door. During the
entire wait, no one had smiled.
Each of us was absorbed in our
own thoughts and seemed
oblivious to everyone around us.
Underlying the nervous habits,
that caused amusement or
irritation, was an atmosphere of
indifference — a sad footnote to a
boring afternoon in a bus station.
