If Hazel . Ayres ,of Sinicoe looks pleased withher new electric wheel-
chair, it's because a flip of a . switch lifts, her to a standing position enabling
her to get on her crutches without aid.. The 'lift chair' wasdesigned' for Mrs.
Ayres by Gordon .Campbell, ALA. Sc., Bio -Medical Engineer, Western Un-
iversity Hospital in London with costs being underwritten . by the Ontario
March of Dimes.
26% years: of living with rheumatoid arthritis have not been easy for
Mrs;. Ayres, who now lives alone, with some part time help and with some
very good neighbours who help her to dress and do her hair, things one does-
almost
oes-almost without thinking unless, one's hands are crippled like Mrs. Ayres...
Mrs. Ayres.` would' be.' exceptional by :any. standards: She manages a .
magazine agency. She is secretary of the Norfolk Branch of .the March' of
Dimes. She is social convenor for the United Church: She belongs to a
;bridge club. ;She works. with 'various organizations to provide 'Christmas
hampers for the 'needy. She is a grandmother. 'She. organizes the Marching
Mothers. of Simcoe area for the March of Dimes annual campaign for funds.
And she does it all from a wheelchair! ,
. March..of Dimes support for the physically disabled ranges from sup.
plying lzfts for vans to hand -controls for cars,and its services are not duplic-
/ ated by any other agency, government or otherwise. Your donations to. the
March of Dimes help people like, Hazel Ayres to LIVE LIKE PEOPLE.
