Store manager Jeff Hayter makes one of the first sales to Julian Jarsky and his wife Jesslyn Jarsky, from Grand Cove Estates. Parents advised about integration gram in many ways. • The special video showed the Texas Special Olympics, with the full par- ticipation of the schools and teachers, as the "special athletes" are recognized In their year books and earn letters in track and field. The theme of the Special Olympics is "Let Me Win, But if I Cannot Win, Let Me Be Brave In the Attempt. These Olympics give the special athletes a sense of achievement, par- ticipation and pride, and gives the gifted students a chance to work with the handicapped. These programs are aimed to pro- mote better understanding and accep- tance of the handicapped provide an alternative program for those with special needs. Locally, the eight students at S.H.D.H.S. are doing very well, in- tegrating into the .school,program. Remember, integration depends a great deasl upon the attitudes and cooperation of the teachers, prin- cipals and Boards of Education. A small number of parent attend- ed the last Parents' Group meeting, on May 6, at ARC Industries. Presi- dent Donna Greb introduced the speaker, Anne Klungel, who discuss- ed Integration Within the Schools. The "TMR"' Trainable Mentally Retarded classes were organized in 1969, but since then have recieved pessure to end the segregation of these school age children and to in- tegrate them into the classroom with other "normal" pupils. It has been proven time and again, that handicapped and retarded ,children, learn more quickly from healthy children who serve as ap- propriate role models. They can bet tdr observe how to behave ap- propriately in society, but parents can_ help this integration only by relin- quishing the "special treatment" op- tion for their children. Mrs. Klungel presented a video film from Sam Houston High School in Texas, where the PEOPEL program flourishes. This Physical Education Opportunities Program for Excep- tional Learners is built on the concept of peer tutoring. Each handicapped student is sponsored or aided by a normal student, who earns a special credit, and beth benefit from this pro - Detail winners at `Mt' ,ears CongratuiaMOfis gate the winieriii of the recent Science Fair at Mount Carmel.

Thal yeas the mmage imparted by aW At jlIM at - Wsdtlesdeyis tneditt day. Wittenberg and visitor aeriloes pro- gramiher Terry Crabe outlined the new Pinery Park management plan, the lifted motorcycle bann and strategy for Victoria bay weekend and other major holidays. Bonenberg said all park_rules will be enforced very strictly. Eight park wardens will be joined by additional eoisservation officers. All have the same authority as an Ontario Provin- cial Police officer within the park area. He continued, "Park staff will be doing their part to make the weekend quiet -and relaxing. We will be reac- ting to problems during the day and not waiting until things get out of hand at night. Our reaction could include fines, seizure of alcohol and stereos if they are creating a noise problem, eviction from the park and being pro- hibited from visiting parks in the future.". -- Anyone Anyone without reservation wishing to camp at the Pinery or'Ip- perwash camps for the upcoming Vic- toria Day weekend should make con- tact immediately. More than 85 per- cent of the spaces are already reserv- ed and Bonenberg added, "We expect to be filled completely by Thursday night." Visitor passes will not be issued during the Victoria Day weekend. On- ly registered campers listed on the campsite permit will be allowed to' enter the campgrounds. All permits including second vehicle passes are sold in advance for this weekend. The major crackdown on noise and alcohol related problems and rowdy behaviour is designed to encourage a more family -like setting. On this sub- ject Bonenberg added, "We are try- ing to change attitudes so they don't see it as the party place it once was, If people' don't like the way we do business, maybe this isn't the place for them. That's the message we are trying to get across." - Come this weekend motorcycles will be allowed into provincial parks for the first time in 14 years, but riders are being told clearly they must obey the rules. Before the ban in 1972, there was nolegislation to stop bikes from driving on the dunes. The reason for the ban was primari- ly the result of off-road abuse to the park environment as well as pro- blems with dust, noise and illegal ac- cess to park grounds.

He spoke about a trip to Europe .that he and his wife Katie had taken last year: They. visited West Germany, East Prussia and Poland. Mr. Freiter was born in Germany, in land now oc- cupied by Poland since WWII. His. talk was extremely interesting as he had found many changes in his homeland since emmigrating to Canada 35 years ago. Mr. Freiter located the old house where he was born, as well as the home of his grandmother, whose house is now over 200 years old. He found a birch tree planted by himself as a seven year old, and told the rapt audience how all the farm work is still done by hand, with horses and farm laborers. • ' `He said that those fdrtunatd edotlgh Flo have hydro'are only illbWe9 brie 40 watt bulb per house: In -money ek- change rates, one Canadian dollar is equal to 80 slotys or 500 slotys on the black market.

Even a small doll costs 3800 slotys. During the tour they saw many beautiful churches, and old castles. In closing Mr. Freiter said that they should appreciate the wonderful coun- try of Canada, and give thanks to God for the good fortune of living here.
