As this has been declared the "Year of the Disabled" by the United Nations, Helen Sootheran related some interesting cords of the handicapped persons, and teld of the helps that are made available through the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. Many han- dicapped persons are able to take a useful place in the social and business world: She displayed a folding white cane, a checkerboard used by the blind, a Braille book of the alphabet, etc. There is an Alpha group for the handicapped organized six years ago, that meet monthly under the leader- ship eadership of Pat Watson, Brussels.

Mrs. Sootheran was thanked on behalf of all present by Leila Johnston and given a hearty round of applause. A report of the Presbyterial annual, which Remember others By Blanche Deeves Rev. William Bennett, minister at St. James Anglican Church in Middleton reminds everyone that 1981 specially recognizes the handicapped. For the Year of the Disabled, Mr. Bennett offers the following poem: A meeting was held quite far from earth, It's time again for another birth, Said the angels to the Lord above, This special child will need much love, And he'll require extra care, From folks he meets way down there, He may not run or laugh of play, His thoughts may seem quite far away, In many ways he won't adapt, And he'll be known as handicapped, So let's be careful where he's sent, We want his life to be content, Please Lord, find parents who, Will do a special job for you, They will not realize right away, The leading role they're asked to play, But with this child sent from above, Comes stronger faith and richer love, – -•-And soon they'll know the privilege given, In caring for this gift from heaven, This precious charge, so meek and mild, In heaven's very special child. Bayfielders sing at Huronview Rev.

The Huronview choir sang two selections, Somebody Is Praying For You, and Waiting On Jesus. We had a special treat on Sunday afternoon when, in spite of the stormy weather, the St. Andrew'S United Church choir from Bayfield ministered to us in song. The program consisted of old gospel songs and was much enjoyed by those who attend- ed. We recorded the pro- gram on the video and those who missed attending on Sunday afternoon have now seen the video. We would like to thank Rev. Thomas, Mrs. Molly Cox, and the Bayfield choir for the lovely after- noon. Old Tyme Music was held in Normal Care Sitting Room on Monday afternoon with our dietitian Mrs. Betty Rogers leading the residents in a hymn sing.

"More than 30 varieties of roses are grown in Ontario but can be classified as either tea roses or sweetheart roses," says John Hughes, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. Tea roses are the long- stemmed varieties that feature large flowers, while the shorter -stemmed sweethearts feature smaller _ blooms and are commonly used in corsages. Both types of roses are avaiittlle In le wide rAn_ ge Qui colors. Some of the most popular varieties are: Samantha, a long-stemmed red; Sonia, a long-stemmed salmon pink; Co -Ed, an in- termediate length yellow; and Jack Frost, a short - stemmed white. "Roses are relatively short-lived cut flower, but they should last five to eight days with proper.care," says Hughes. To prolong the life of your roses, use the preservative provided by most florists free of charge. This sugar and antibacterial agent ' helps keep passageways open in the stem Occasionally, you'll find roses drooping in the vase.
