Others have made furniture available on loan, Our first major lender, was Mary B. Howell, who helped get the refurbishing project off the ground just prior to the 1974 opening of the historic site. ,A third source hs been through the Provincial Government Museums' Branch. That connection has not only given us leads on herd to find furnphings, but also established the necessary ties with Miter historic site boards throughout the Province. The Toronto -Historic Sites Board, for example, has Provided, on long-term loan. a massive r.31.1 top desk from the late 1800's for use in the Governor's office in the gaol Proper. It was originally located in Montgomery's Inn. Toronto, but. was especially suited for uselat-the Huron Gaol. The final source, of course, has been to purchase items as needed. Dorothy Wallace, chairman of the Refur- bishing Committee, follows up all the leads. It not only takes her to dingy ibasernents and back sheds, but also puts her in direct competition with professienal bidders at area auction sales. Her efforts have contributed in a major way towards thesuccessful refurbishing program. As with the other work at this federal historic site, there is still a long way to go. The Board bas undertaken a major fund raising campaign. To succeed it requires the support of many Huron county citizens.. Funds are corning in, but very slowly. If you want to make a commitment to this project in Huron County heritage, your tax deductible donation can be mailed to the "Huron Historic Gaol Fund", Ed Od- dleifson, Bayfield. Ladies plan campaign 'To provide innovative and imaginative programs which - help the disabled to help themselves in ways which no one else is prepared or equipped to do.* That is the primary pur- pose of the Ontario March of Dimes as explained by Mr. Thomas H. Birchall, president and guest speaker at the October 7 meeting of campaign %delegates in, Kit- cheneesGrenite Club. More than 140 delegates from seven counties attended the dinner meeting which was planned and organized by Dorothy Clark of Stratford, and which was the forerunner of the January Marching Mothers Campaign for funds to assist Ontario's 750,000 disabled adults. ,Attending from this area were Mrs. Joyce Neyvatte of Kincardine, Mrs. Ken Clynick of Clinton and Mrs. Karen Fry of Goderich. The innovative need arises in many different ways," said Mr. Birchall, "and is perhaps best illustrated by our, camping and -reereatioa •programs2! Camping may not sound -particularly innovative, but for the handicapped vacationers who Were able to spend two weeks in the out- doors, pursuing the same educational and recreational programs as their abler bodied counterparts, it was, an exhilerating experience, he said. "The •response has told us that we must carry on this activity in an expanding way," stated Mr. Birchen. Other innovative March of Dimes programs include travelling medical clinics, self-help coran2unity development programs, the provision of wheelchairs and •other appliances to those in need, and continued ad- vocacy at all levels of government for improved housing and transportation for the handicapped. "It is important that we continue to act as the ad- vocates for change in legislation which -will assure the handicapped -of their right to participate in- the com- munity," concluded Mr. Birchen. The-- Ontario March of Dimes is in its 25th year of •service to the Provinc,'s handicappedadults. Only throagh the generous support of volunteers and area residents can the innovative and integrative programs planned for 1976 be realized. The Marching Mothers begin their 1976.
