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.
