( photo by Tom McMahon) March of Dimes camp Once again, members of the Ontario Private Cam- pground Association, in- cluding Huron Cliff Park in Goderich and Shelter Valley Park in Clinton, will help disabled people enjoy sum- mer activities in their "Campers Helping Disabled Campers" program. Their goal this year is to provide vacations for 30 disabled men and women. Now in its third year of operation, the staff and campers at privately owned campgrounds organize special summer events. Funds raised at events such as dances and suppers sup- port vacations at Ontario March of. Dimes' camps for physically disabled adults, Special events and ac- tivities are now being plann- ed by campground owners across the province who have registered for the pro- gram. The Ontario - Maw- .of Dimes camping program is operated annually in the summer and winter. Disabl- ed people, who seldom have the chance to enjoy outdoor activities, have the oppor- tunity to try horseback riding, canoeing, overnight campouts, swimming, crafts and much more. The em- phasis at camp is on what disabled people can do. Because of funds raised last year by the Campers Help- ing Disabled Campers pro- gram, 20 adults (some quite severely disabled) will be at- tending ttending March of Dimes' camps this year. "Everyone should have the opportunity to ex- perience the outdoors," says Frances Craig, Executive Director of the Ontario Private Campground Assocaition. "Ontario has some of the finest cam- pgrounds anywhere. Our program `Campers Helping Disabled Campers' gives disabled people the chance to enjoy many things such as summertime activities and the natural beauty of the pro- vince which many of us take for granted. We feel it is a prograrn well worth suppor- ting because our visitors can have fun, and help others at the same time". In this International Year of Disabled Persons, fishing derbies, carnivals, dances and barbecue suppers at campgrounds will take on an added dimension. By enjoy- ing their own outdoor ac- tivities and by showing that they care, thousands of peo- ple will be involved in help- ing disabled men and women enjoy their summer and discover their potential., Sunset golfers named to flights SUNSET NEWS by Betty Helesic Due to a windy and rainy Monday evening our lessons were cancelled this week, but hopefully will resume againthis Emig Monday at 6:30.

How would you like to wear a shoe worn by Charlie Farquharson or own a tie that was once presented to Harold Ballard by the Maple Leaf Gardens organization. If that isn't your style, how about a book by Pierre Bur- ton, Barbara Fruanan or Dar- ryl Sillier each autographed by the author? flow about a pair of Karin • Kain's ballet slippers or a silver hockey charm once owned by Alan Eagleson, the legal wizard in the hockey in-` dustry. All of these wild and ex- citing personal items of Canadian celebrities could be yours. How, you ask? Why by entering the Celebri- ty Sweepstakes that is going to be held in Blyth this sum- mer. A local group of volunteers have gotten together and taken on this unique and novel fund rais- ing project for the building fund of the Blyth and Com- munity Memorial Hall. Joan Watson, one of the organizers. explained that the sweepstakes will operate much like a penny sale. Tickets will be on sale throughout the summer at three for $1. Buyers may put the tickets in the box of their choice indicating what prize they would like to win. Letters have been hand- written to Canadian celebrities around the coun- try asking for personal dona- tions to the sweepstakes. The response has been terrific said Mrs. Watson and the group is now trying to locate a glass display case to show off the items. The display will be in the Hall and tickets will be available before and during performances at the Blyth Summer Festival. The big draw will be made Sept. 5. "What we still need are volunteers," Mrs. Watson pleaded. It will take two peo- ple to handle ticket sales for each performance. The small group which initiated the idea has been aptly nam- ed Friends of Blyth and is looking for more members to help out. If interested you can call CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1961—PAGE 7 the Blyth Summer Festival boa office and leave your name and number and you will be contacted. Volunteers from anywhere not just Blyth will be welcome. The Friends of Blyth have served refreshments after one of the winter performances and hope to evolve into an aux- iliary uxiliary unit to help with the many jobs entailed in operating a community hall- that alfthat is constantly in demand. In past years local youths have served as ushers and are welcome again to help as a junior unit to the Friends of Blyth. All ha{nds helping will be appreciated.
