A renowned research institute has found a unique healing substance with the ability to shrink hemor- rhoids painlessly. It relieves itching and discomfort in minutes and speeds up healing of the injured. inflamed tissue. In case after case. while gently relieving pain. actual reduction (shrinkages took place. Most important of all—results were so thorough that this improve- ment was maintained over a period of many months. , All this was accomplished with a healing substance (Bio -Dyne) which quickly helps heal injured cells and stimulates growth of new tissue.

I've got some feelings on my mind, too! Hey, what about me? I'd like to have a song .to sing, too!" These words, sung by Anne Murray, are the words intro- ducing the 1975 Ability Fund campaign or the March of Dimes. The campaign is to provide funds by which the handicapped and. disabled in our community can live richer, more satisfying lives. For many of the disabled and handicapped, the words of the song can ring very true. They do have feelings, they do have a song to sing, but too often it is a sad song 'with very few listeners. The handicapped person has not fewer abilities, only fewer oppor- tunities. He has no different dreams, he only needs help to realize them. But that help is often a long time coming. This year, when Ability Fund canvassers make their rounds, they will be asked to do some- thing different. They will 'take a census of the disabled in each community, to find out just how many handicapped and disabled people there are. The fund or- ganizers maintain that, just be- cause you may not see these people very often, this does not mean they don't exist. It may only be evidence that they have no one to help them get around or that transportation facilities are inadequate and expensive, or that most of. the buildings or shopping centres in our area are inaccessible to these people. For a minute, put yourself in the place of those who must look at a busy, bustling world from a wheelchair with no buses that do not have steps; few stores that you can enter, even a post office or a library may be' off limits. Entertainment? You must find yours at home, for theatres, clubs Trinity holds vestry meeting FORDWICH — The annual vestry meeting of Trinity Angli- can nglican Church was held Monday night in the Sunday School rooms.

Re- sorts are too busy to bother with people who can't take care of themselves. And how about churches? It's very unlikely you will find one to accommodate your wheelchair, no matter how badly you wish to attend. And if you are young, what about schools and universities? Too often, they too, limit those who enter and shut out the physically disabled, denying him the one chance he may have at leading a normal kind of life. The answer seems tragically obvious. The handicapped or dis- abled person, no matter how talented or how capable, is shut out from a world that others have made ,their own. He is a `lesser person' and by many people is treated as such; one of God's little mistakes! But many of these little mis- takes find new hope and accep- tance with the help of the Ability Fund. Governments can provide a regular income for the disabled person who is unable to re-enter the labor force; but opportunities for other forms of activity are left largely to the initiative of such agencies as the March of Dimes. This agency has expanded its services by implementing avoca- tional and therapeutic work, rec- reation programs in its 'ten Ability Centres throughout the province. It is stimulating government action in the area of transportation and operates five camps during the summer where disabled adults may enjoy a vacation. As an advocate on behalf of the one million handi- capped adults in Ontario, the March of Dimes is recommend- ing the adoption of a supplement to the building code by all muni- cipalities, thus allowing the person confined to a wheelchair access to any public building. And, of course, there is the human element, which is prob- ably the most important. The handicapped person needs to know he is accepted for those things which he can do, not -pitied for those things he cannot do. He needs to be given the personal interest voluntary agencies like the March of Dimes can give him. He needs to know someone cares. Each year, the Ability Fund asks for your support in their worthwhile work. You may never need its services—but then again you may. And you will_ never know what a handicapped or dis- abled person feels until you have beeil there. Handicapped adults have a right to participate in our society, just as much as anyone else. They have accomplished what has been the hardest thing to do: they have learned to accept their lot. Now they need us to help them live with it. When the volunteer canvasser calls on you, be generous. Through your dollars, you may be able help se*neone sing his song. You may help someone back from that long road of use- lessness and loneliness and make him feel wanted, accepted.
