SECOND SECTION
ARC woodworking shop grows,
staff skills draw many orders
An aim of practically any
type of rehabilitation
program beit for the men
tally handicapped or
physically handicapped is
for their eventual
tegration back into
mainstream of society.
At ARC Industries
Dashwood one of
programs that is highly
visible to the public is the
woodworking division.
Under the supervision of
Dave Hemmingway 17
employees produce picnic
tables, lawn furniture, signs,
garbage boxes, toys,
children’s furniture, stakes
and do custom cutting and
custom planing. Contracts
from local firms is another
in-
the
in
the
activity which the wood
working division is engaged
in.
According to Hem
mingway, the shop is busier
than ever with orders from
last year just being com
pleted.
Noah’s Arc, a store
operated during the summer
last year at Grand Bend,
proved to be an excellent
outlet for the various wood
products manufactured with
over 100 chairs and 200 picnic
tables being sold.
Although plans for the
distribution of the division’s
products have not been
finalized, a love seat, patio
table, a barbeque table will
be added to the already
impressive lineup of
products.
One of the more ambitious
projects which the workshop
has taken on is the con
structing of shelving for the
Heritage store in Exeter.
Hemmingway also said last
year the division had con
structed and installed a
custom made redwood patio,
It is also hoped that the
manufacturing of fencing
can commence this year.
A side effect of the in
creased activity at the ARC
woodworking facility has
been the procurement of a
saw dust extraction system.
Installation of the $15,000
unit was completed this
week by N. R. Murphy of
Guelph, the makers of the
system.
The two main benefits of
such a system Hemmingway
said are a healthier work
environment and less waste
of the sawdust which is sold
to local farmers for use as a
cattle bedding material.
The saw dust containei
which is mounted outside of
the workshop, will hold up to
120 cubic feet of saw dust and
can be hooked up to 10
machines.
The system has been in
stalled so as to allow for
expansion and the switching
of machines to different
locations.
HOODS FOR THE TABLES — One of the reasons for the installation of a sawdust extractor
system is to provide for healthier work environment.The hoods above the table where

Ownership change
has some pitfalls
Ontario residents who sell
their motor vehicles
privately run the risk of en
ding up with a lot of parking
tickets they don’t deserve,
unless they ensure that the
ownership has been

transferred at a Ministry of
Transportation and Com
munications licence-issuing
office.
If the transfer hasn’t been
registered with MTC, any
tickets issued after the sale
automatically go to the
previous owner.
Should the former owner
ignore the tickets, he or she
could wind up being subject
to arrest for failure to pay
the parking fines. Previous
owners could also find
themselves involved in civil
suits should the vehicle be
involved in an accident sub
sequent to the sale.
It’s therefore most impor
tant that the change of
ownership is processed at a
licence-issuing office — by
both parties — before
releasing the vehicle to the
new owner.

ing the buyer’s and seller’s
responsibilities when buying

STARTING THE UNIT — One of the many things that was taken into consideration in the installation of the saw dust extractor
was that the main switches should be accessible to the handicapped.While Stan Pickering presses the start button RalphRoss,
