Gradually the membership spread to Brussels, Wingham and Exeter, The members believed the public should be made aware of the problems faced by physically disabled persons and of the right and the desire of the handicapped to function as independently as possible, They also felt it was the responsibility of the handicapped to make the problems known and to help resolve them, Alpha's initial concern was accessibility. As members of the public, the disabled have the right to be able to use facilities that are called "public facilities". Unfortunately, physical barriers bar many of them. The physical barriers are simple things that many people take for granted, such as sidewalk curbs, narrow door- ways and steps into public buildings, including stores, banks, post offices, libraries, churches, schools, doctors and dentists' offices and public washrooms. Alpha presented a brief to the GoderichTown Council and sent letters to all the other councils in the county urging them to con- sider the needs of the physically handicapped in their future nlannine. For example, when a new sidewalk is constructed or a damaged one is repaired, curb cuts can be installed. These are sections of the sidewalk that slope gradually from the sidewalk to the street level. They allow persons in wheelchairs to cross streets independently, and they cost less than the con- ventional curbs because less concrete is needed. Similarly, new or renovated buildings can be made accessible to wheelchairs via portable or permanent ramps. Although only two councils acknowledged Alpha's letter, a few curb cuts have appeared around the county. Three points are important. First, curb cuts and ramps incur little or no extra cost when they are included in the original plans for construction or renovation. Secondly, they can be used by all members of the public in- cluding senior citizens, people using walkers, canes, crutches and braces, patients of heart illness, arthritis or emphysema, pregnant women, mothers pushing baby buggies and women pulling shopping carts, Thirdly, they provide practical solutions to what can be em- barrassing situations. For in- stance, Alpha learned of a new Senior Citizens Residence that has an empty second storey and a waiting list of applicants. The two floors are connected by a stairway, that many seniors can't climb, An elevator or chair lift would make the vacant rooms accessible, Alpha's most successful project thus far involved the arena boards that had to build or renovate. A list of recom- mendations pertaining to the Mark Easter event Easter dessert under the supervision of Dolores Shapton and her committee, of the Evening Unit of Exeter United Hurondale 4-H pick new slate Hurondale II 4-H Club held its first meeting on Thursday, March 24, by having an election of officers. They are as follows: President, Jane Sims; Vice- President, Carol Anne Van Wieren; Secretary, rotating; Treasurer, Helen Dougall and Press Reporter, Betty Neevel. Our leaders are Barb Passmore and Sheila Faber. The green registration sheet was filled in by all present. Barb handed out member's pamphlets and handout sheets. The girls discussed considerations in choosing styles, patterns and in choosing the fabric. They were each given some pieces of fabric which were discussed their names and some examples of garments they could be used for. Two members demonstrated how to measure correctly. They were informed that Achievement Day will be May 28. Sixteen present at ladies meeting The March WMC meeting of the Exeter Pentecostal church was held at the home of Mrs. Meine Eizenga, Thursday. Mrs. Keith McLaren presided over the service. Mrs. Bruce Cann led in the Hymn Rescue the Perishing. Mrs. Meine Eizenga opened the meeting in prayer. The minues of the last meeting were read by Mrs. Don Reynolds. The roll call was taken and an- swered by a scripture verse on "Compassion." There were 16 present. Mrs. Bruce Cann read about a man who read the same article in a paper for 37 years in a con- centration camp. Mrs. Roy Erb read a poem accommodation of wheelchair spectators was circulated to 18 centres in Huron and, neigh- bouring counties. The response was excellent with 80 percent of the committees contacting Alpha personally or through their architects or contractors. Thus most of the local arenas will be accessible to the handicapped. The Brussels arena board discovered a lack of awareness in an unexpected place. They wanted to install an elevator for the use of the handicapped, but they feared it would be too costly. Through a resource person in London, Alpha learned a 100 percent grant is available from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation for items that exceed the Ontario Building Code, such as an elevator for the han- dicapped in an arena. The Brussels committee then contacted their local Culture and Recreation office in Hanover, Church and a business session presided over by the unit Kesident Mary Fisher preceded an Easter pageant held in the auditorium of the church, Monday. The pageant depicting the empty tomb at Gethsemane was presented in music and narration, Those assisting with the decorating the music and the presentation were Maxine Sereda, Norma Hooper, Josie Ryckman, Barbara Sharpe, Audrey MacGregor, Elaine Skinner, Vera Armstrong, Marie PARKHILL By MRS.

The children from Grace Bible Chapel received their awards recently from their club, formed last October and finishing March 29, children ranged from 6 to 15 years of age. Parents were invited to see the crafts and handwork, Awards were given for most points and on down to the least points. A surprise house warming party was given to Bruce and Marg McKichan in their lovely new home by the Hodgins and Hayter crew Friday night. about a spring morning, and gave her testimony what God has done in her life. A delicious lunch was served by the hostesses, Estrella and Leila Finkbeiner. Shop At Wilson's Jewellery Beside Bank of Montreal, Exeter PLEASING YOU PLEASES US Reviews first year for ALPHA Which had no knowledge of such a grant. Afer a few more phone calls, they reached Queen's Park and were told, "Oh yes, there's lots of money available for grants like that, but you know, you're only the second arena board in the province to apply for it." A building grant for Culture and Recreation that few people know about and a half empty Senior Citizens' Residence reiterated Alpha's contention that awareness must be promoted. During the past 12 months, the group has gained verbal and financial support from several clubs and organizations. Alpha's ultimate goal is the integration of the disabled into society, and the accessibility of public facilities is only one step needed to reach this goal, Architectural, legislative and social changes are necessary. This is a long-range plan requiring the co-operation of both Brunslow, Nancy Rooth, Anne Cann and Alma Godbolt. Exeter UAW stage pageant
