Bissett, chairman; Grace Peek, vice-chairman; Pearl Support Year of the Handicapped By Helen Owen 1981 - the year of the Handicapped - so what's happening in Bayfield? January is over - 11 more months to go, but what projects - if any - are under way? The activities of the village reported in this paper each 'week are ample evidence of lively interests, as well- as the goodwill and support which the various en- terprises engender. However, so far no an- nouncements have appeared to suggest that any initiative has been taken with regard to making a contribution to the needs of the han- dicapped. So - who is ac- cepting the challenge? Which group is prepared to undertake some kind of commitment? Raising funds for a specified purpose is only one of the more obvious ways, but sometimes a little imagination and personal involvement is another way of expressing a real concern. Until one has some ex- perience of the limitations of a disabled person it is not always easy to understand the frusta; aeons and problems which have to be overcome, the compromises that have to be made, and the extra effort required. Perhaps, also, we should keep In mind the additional strains imposed on the families whose day to day support is part of the overall care required. Last summer, Terry Fox provided a stirring example McFarlane, secretary; and Les Oliver, treasurer. It was decided by the council that. the suggestion box be placed outside the tuck shop for the benefit. of any residents who znight like to make sugges- tions. , Central Huron Secondary School's music program went on the road last week as instructor Rob Parr, the choir and band members, displayed their musical talents for pub& school children in the area. An example of the high school program was seen and heard by hundreds of students in five area schools, hi an attempt to keep the programallve and well.

Mrs. Anstett presented an formative program on o sychology, in which she mentioned the various types of psychologists.

The chapter received a thank -you note from . the Huron Day Centre for the Momeboiund, forthe donation to their Christmas party. A Epsilon Sorority makes bread Xi Epsilon Beta Chapter of , `Beta Sigma Phi- called the January 27th meeting to order at 8 p.m. at the home of Audrey Kemp. The open- ing ritual was followed by the roll call and minutes of the last meeting. The program was .presented by Audrey on 'bread making'. Audrey demonstrated her technique on how to make homemade bread and a variety of rolls and also showed variations -which can be made into desserts. Everyone had a chance to knead and.roll the bread dough and afterwards take home a delicious loaf of bread. The business meeting then began with Marj reading in- formation on two sorority conventions. One in May at Rochester, N.Y. and one in Nova Scotia at the end of June 1981. The treasurer, Vivienne, gave her report and col- lected any outstanding bills and Ann passed around pic- tures taken at the Halloween. meeting before they are put in the scrapbook. Social chairman Audrey extended an invitation from the Ritual Chapter to attend a pot -luck dinner and dance with them on February 14 ant Marj - outlined some -of the details of the up -coming dance on march 28. Marj of the way in which one courageous young man set out to turn his disability into a blessing for his unfortunate fellow sufferers. There is no doubt that his efforts were recognized and generated a degree of national pride. Maybe a further practical demonstration of that pride would be to emulate the .personal_participation... _. Are there any schemes, afoot? If so, what are they? And in what ways may they be 'implemented and ex- panded? apanded? In other parts of the country financial support and innovative ideas are already being developed. Handicaps may occur as the result of disease, ac- cident or be of genetic origin - the age range is not restricted to any particular group. For many it is the practical, everyday things that are so important. A change of scene, some kind of social involvement, en- couragement in pursuing a hobby m these are ail areas to which personal involvement may be an enriching ex- perience. The challenge is there, so what about it? 1 NOTABLE QUOTES TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO a child was born in a stable.
