• Flowers of Hope campaign
used to support area project
It is becoming increasingly
clear that significant changes in
services to the mentally han-
dicapped are taking place and
they're taking place more rapidly
than most people have an-
ticipated, even as little as five
years ago.
This week focuses on the ad-
vances in this area and across the
conntry. It is National Week for
the Mentally Retarded.
The campaign is symbolized by
the Flowers of Hope, the bright
yellow packet of seeds. Mrs.
Donna Greb, Zurich, Chairman of
the local campaign states that the
1977 goal is $8,000 Last year
over $8,200,00 was contributed by
the area citizens.
All contributions stay in the
community to support projects of
the area organization.
Trainees at ARC Dashwood
supported by the campaign now
total 50. They are transported by
bus to Dashwood five days a week
from an area encompassing
Arkona, Egmondville and
Goderich.
The emphasis at this adult
rehabilitation centre has gone
through a transition. Since the
latter part of 1976, the employees
are becoming production
oriented. At their own request the
trainees now ask to be referred to
as employees. They're working
toward becoming gainfully
employed either in the open
market or in a workshop en-
vironment.
Two district men are assisting
in this change. Doug Gould of
Exeter, and Larry Skinner,
Kirkton, have been engaged in a
federal LIP programme to
secure contracts and make
businessmen aware of the
potential of ARC employees.
Contracts have been secured for
fish boxes, pallets, drainage
flags, and survey stakes,
The Maintenance crew are
beginning to establish them-
selves in the community with
window-cleaning, grass-cutting
and commercial and house
cleaning, The office programme
is capable of assisting businesses
and service clubs with typing,
photocopying and bulletins,
Noah's Arc
Newest enterprise in ARC's
programme will be a store in the
former Service Station across
from the roller rink on Grand
Bend's main street. Operated, by
four young people through the
Young Canada Work Project
programme, the store, named
Noah's Arc, will sell articles
manufactured by the workshop.
Picnic tables, wooden toys,
crafts, custom-made signs and
ceramics will be among the
merchandise on display.
Besides beingthe Association's
Executive, Director Don Camp-
bell is the workshop manager
while Margaret Wright is
assistant manager.
As a result of the residence
programme at 28 James Street,
Exeter, the first placement has
been made in an apartment.
Spearheaded by Exeter United
Church, and assisted by area
citizens, this project was begun a
year ago.
Approval in principle has been
given the local Association for a
second home. Mary McLellan is
the chief counsellor assisted by
Gloria DeBoer.
Huron Hope Nursery, ac-
commodated in Alhambra Hall
Grand Bend, is the third
Association project. Led by Joan
Smith, Nellie VanEngelen and
Kay Kuracina, and assisted by a
dedicated group of volunteers,
the six pre-schoolers receive
specialized individual attention
four mornings a week. Results
show that the earlier the child
becomes involved the greater the
opportunities for developmental
help.
The first project of the
Association was Huron Hope
School at JAD McCurdy, Huron
Park. In 1969 the Board of
Education took over the ad-
ministration. The principal is
Mrs. Eleanor Scott.
YACMAR, the youth wing of
the Mentally Retarded
Association, is active in all four
facilities, principally in the area
of recreation.
South Huron, and District
Association has made important
progress over the past year.
However, according to Executive
Director Don Campbell, "as
parents and concerned citizens
we must not leave the
rehabilitation and training up to
the facilities. What is also needed
is a very positive attitude toward
those who have had an accident
of nature."
This year, the Flowers of Hope
seeds are giant sunny marigolds.
Plant them in your garden to
remind yourself that you helped
the Mentally Retarded
Association help others who just
might have had your luck — or
you theirs.
