This is what Ontario is doing about it. Mentally retarded people are often capable of much greater development than had previously been thought possible. Although they learn at a slower rate than others, the developmentally handicapped can frequently develop skills and abilities that enable them to be integrated into the community as a whole. The plan to achieve this goal, known as "Community Living,"' is administered by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and is conducted in partnership with local Associations for the Mentally Retarded and other concerned community agencies. Basically, it calls for: • creation and funding of group homes and other kinds of community accommodation • increased numbers of workshops and life skills programs • early infant stimulation programs, parent relief and development projects • access for developmentally handicapped people to a full range of community services. All of these activities aim at achieving a better quality of life for Ontario's developmentally handicapped, and at making their experiences as normal as possible. The approach is a new one. A good one. A healthy one. Your support and understanding can help it succeed.

While not too well attended, the 36 present spent a very pleasant afternoon with prizes going as follows: high lady, Mary Kooy of Centralia; lady's lone, Rose Trevithick of Ailsa Craig; low lady, Mae Bowman, Lucan; High Man, Arnold Hodgins; man's lone, Rose Atkinson; low man, Maude Hodgins, both playing men's cards and the last three from Lucan. The prizes were donated by Rita Robb. Kathleen Neil who emceed the euchre playing, provided a mystery prize won by Merna O'Neil of Lucan, whose tally bore the current date. President Lillian Ashton welcomed the guests and thanked them for coming, suggesting this might be the first of a series of euchres. Treasurer Agnes Hotson was at the door selling the tally cards. Final sermon for supply minister Rev, Cecil Jardine, who has been the excellent supply minister at Lucan U.C. for the months of January and February, was in charge of his final service Sunday morning, speaking on "Accepting the Unacceptable Man". His sermon was based on Luke 19:1-10, the story of Zacchaeus. Luke tells of the healing of the "whole" person when Jesus opens the prison doors of life. He comes to us with the Good News today, just as surely as He did to the crowds in Palestine. Zac- chaeus felt he needed something which was missing in his life and this is why he was perched in the sycamore tree watching for Jesus. Are we watching for Jesus? We may have been brought up in a Christian home but still feel the need of the fullness of God at this most holy of holy times, Lent and Easter. Jesus saw the potential in Zacchaeus and sees the potential in each of us if we will come to Him.
