Dewar, president of the organization. This was 9.6 , per' cent ' more than in • the previous year. In • 1967 there •was 167 placed. "This is a satisfying although nibodest ..improvement," . said Mr. 'Dewar, "but we've come .a long way ' ' since 1963 when the total was only 72". The improvement was partly due. to. the opening of a, third assessment workshop in London; - in addition tothose in Toronto and Hamilton, and to the opening sof a new workshop in Kingston during 1968. There are ° now ten workshops, the others . being in Kitchener, St. Catharines,. '. _Toronto, --Ottawa,- Sudbury, Timmins, Port • Arthur and Sault Ste. MarieY, ' An eleventh will be opened in Windsor Sven:. Mr. Dewar ' said ' that the 'growing number of- placements reflects the Fc undation's Changing rot. "During 196$;''-' he „s'aid, �,'15-Xovincial government _services completed the takeover of our. casework, and in doing so released more of our energies and resources for our prime concern, which is rehabilitating dis,ble adults • by helping them to get back to work. We expect that during the coming months and year, our record of placements will be increasingly satisfying, both to the public and to ourselves." The Foundation will also be giving more attention to research and to recreation - services, according to ' Mr. Dewar. "But work for the disabled will continue to be our main - interest," he said: "We expect that our workshops will continue to increase in number too as :the demand for good workers on the part of industry grOWs ever larger." 9 PAVM6NT BUMPER B►rrER TRIES:TO FRICNTEW ITS PREY OUT OF THE WAY BY NIPPING ITS BU1&PER - HANGS ON FOR MILES - -OFTEN' CLW B5 UP YOUR BACK.
