LISTOWEL STORE 190 Mitchell Road South Tel. 291-1882 1 a "G000d, things came Ara small packages," An .old saying, and a true one as far as firs. E tb Cantelon is con- cerned. Her particular `good thing' is the Wingham Ad t Workshop, a small group of stu- dents as yet,: but growing every week. The group started with only one participating adult ' early this year when Harold "Shorty" Brooks took time to work op, a one-to-one basis with an en- thusiastic tnentally retarded adult. Today that informal work- shop has four adult students with more expected to enroll' soon. Mrs,Edith Cantelon is the only full-time worker at this time, although she does have the help of a part-time volunteer. But with new students expected, Mrs. Cantel n is searching for addi- tional volunteer help. How many people does she need? — "as many as possible," Mrs. Can - rejoin says. The Adult Workshop is sup- ported by the Wingham and Dis- trict Association for the Mentally Retarded and is presently woi'ling toward acquiring a government grant. The group is also seeking the support of local businesses, because financial support is an ever-present need. The workshop headquarters• worksIi are in the basement Of the Wi»V4 ham Town Hall where the gr.; occupies two larger agar and one small offfiOe /J he roon s' free of 'charge for the `group,,.bUt' supplies and Mrs, Caf►teloC1'l salary eat into the Nods .fUW available fro the WhIghatri Association. If the grant4frQW the. government should be approved, by next year, Mrs. Cant IOi hopes, the Adult Workshop wot<d be officially recognized by the Ministry of Community and Social Services. The program for the four. tu- dents is all-inclusive and 'e ;teas- ive. Courses in self-care, :recrea- tion, life studies and physical fit- ness occupy much of their day. Whenever possible, they go Oa trips with the Golden Circle stu- dents from the Wingham Public School and hope to get the use of the Silver Circle facilities once the new Day Care Centro is con- structed'. This would add a kit- chen and sewing program and crafts courses to i the program. Mrs. Cantelon explained that; community contact is a major focus of the program. The stu- dents often go on walks through the town to discover the environ- ment and to familiarize them- selves with the various busi- nesses and industries. Mrs. Cantelon herself is no stranger to Wingham or•, indeed, to work with the , mentally retarded. She studied mental' retradation counseling at Fan- shawe and at Georgian College in Barrie. The course lnehuded placement for ,t.'rienee, and Mrs. Cantelon spent some time at the Palmerston institution. Last year she worked with the Golden Circle at the Wingham Public School. Her experiences with the Golden Circle are the direct cause for her present job with the Adult Workshop. "1 enjoyed the community so much, 11 wanted to get into it," she explains. Shower held GORRIE — A shower was held on Tuesday night in the com- munity hall, by neighbors and friends of Ed Stewart for Ed and his bride,in honor of their recent marriage. Mrs. D. Clegg read the address and Mrs. Underwood presented them with a purse of money. The bride and groom each expressed their thanks. The evening was spent playing cards and crokinole after which lunch was served. The couple will reside in Blue - vale. • Terra protiiiictiongt ,loaf Coot inAMu A Pttpt*tlo l 4 :Parte r hip. inEgaltICIO, SOW Pr Qprktfor tasuranc .
