President, speaker talk of disabled -
It's great to be living is WI
Mrs. Gordon Papple and
Mrs. Bruce Shapton
welcomed all to the Huron
South W.I. district annual at
North Side United Church,
Seaforth, Thursday.
President, Mrs. Carl
Payne conducted the days
activities and had as her
theme, "Isn't it Great to be
Living."
"As you all know, 1981 has
been declared the Inter-
national Year of the
Disabled and our theme,
"Isn't it great to be living" is
a quotation from a disabled
person. Disabilities can take
any shape or form; some are
much more noticeable than
others, some require the
assistance of other persons
and some do not, some
nobody ever knows about
and some are obvious to
everybody. It is easy to feel
pity for those physically
disabled and harder for
those whose disabilities are
not physical but pity is not
what is wanted. Every
disabled person has an in-
dividual problem and faces it
in an individual way. What is
a problem? Someone has
said a problem is nothing but
a challenge.
The majority of the
disabled face their
challenges head on. If the
usual way of doing things is
forbidden to them they find
the unusual way and come
up smiling. "Isn't it great to
be living" is their attitude
towards life. Terry Fox's
stupendous effort to run
across Canada has shown us
all the tremendous effort
humans can make to face
problems, to meet
challenges and to carry on
with life. "Isn't it great to be
living!
Among my audience
today, I suppose that at least
90 percent have a disability.
You wear glasses, dentures,
a hearing aid. A few maybe,
use wheelchairs crutches or
walking sticks. These are
helps for disabilities but so
much smaller ones than
those many of the disabled
cope with. We have only to go
to ARC Industries at Dash-
wood to see many worse than
ourselves. We have only to
look around our com-
munities to see people who
cannot get out as easily as
we can. Our newspapers,
books and magazines this
year are full of stories of
people, young and old, who
have worse disabilities than
we have. Yet they can say,
"Isn't it great to be living."
Many have faced death
and pain, but they still think
its great to be alive. Do we
always get such a cheerful
outlook from able-bodied
individuals? A few years
ago, I knew a garage man
who only had one outlook.
Take your car for repairs
and you always got the same
refrain, "Trouble, trouble,
trouble!" My reply was
always the same too. "That's
what you make your living
from." So let us determine
that for the rest of this year
and the rest of our lives we
will always say, "Isn't it
great to be living" and live
as though it is."
Each of the presidents of
the nine W.I. branches spoke
briefly on the theme "Isn't it
great to be living."
In memoriam was con-
ducted by Crediton Womens
Institute and Dashwood and
Grand Bend entertained with
a humorous reading by Mrs.
Irvin Rader and a solo by
Mrs. Desjardine ac-
companied by Mrs. Tieman.
VanSlyke welcomed us and
spoke on "Pathways to God
through the world around us
and concluded by reading
Psalm 104."
Mrs. H. Dougall in-
troduced our guest speaker,
Mrs. Sid Greenberg of R.R. 1
Arva, who was thanked by
Mrs. Floyd Cooper. She and
her husband have a farm and
horse riding facilities for the
handicapped. This project is
named SARI.
A film from the Lincoln
foundation was shown
"Ability not disability."
From age 6 on, a han-
dicapped child can enrol at
the riding institute if
referred by a doctor and has
a parental signature.
Pennies for Friendship
were received. Home
Economists from Huron
County attended our district
