Healing Substance:
Shrinks Pile's
Exclusive healing substance
proven to shrink hemorrhoids and
repair damaged tissue.
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.
Now Bio -Dyne is offered in oint-
ment and suppository form called
Preparation H. Ask for it at alt drug

During the week of Women's
Institute week in June, 1974, 1,300
visited the Erland Lee home,
which is the property of the
FWIO. Records of attendance at
the 14 Area Conventions are: Dis-
trict voting delegates 96 per cent;
Area branches represented 77 per
cent and total number voting
delegates at 80per cent. A trophy
is presented to the District, with
highest attendance, it seems to be
an incentive for better attend-
ance. In the past two years 239
branches made an increase in
membership of 20 per cent.
Mrs. Harvey Houston, Luck -
now, presented the Public Re-
lations report. Trent Valley and
Grey -Bruce now have 11 years
continuous 100 per cent reporting.
A highlight of 1974 was the
presentation of a scholarship to
honor Mrs. Noblitt, retiring as
president, for the contribution
she has made to the work of
Women's Institute at home and
abroad. Good public relations are
fostered in many ways by the WI
in the community as they sponsor
4-H, care of senior citizens and
handicapped and the oversi bt of
many other community projects.
We express gratitude of the fine
coverage given WI• work all pver
Ontario. Contributions for WI
project was $2I,635.
During the election of officers,
Mrs. Herbert Maluske of Ches-
ley, Grey -Bruce Area, was
elected president. Mrs. Earl
Morden, RR 1, Rodney was
elected secretary -treasurer.

Kinettes to canvass Monday
for disabled, handicapped
"Hey, what about me?
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

Weekly euchre
BFJLGRAVE — Eight tables of
euchre were played at the weekly

or halls do not provide en-
trances for you. Vacations? 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.
Wingham Kinettes, long as-
sociated with the March of Dimes
and the Ability Fund, sponsor
their drive on February 3. Reach
out with an open hand and an
open heart!
