"They make everything now sold in China,' except TV's.•A few years ago, they didn't even make washing machines,"he adds. Equality exists in China in great measure as women truck or bus drivers are the rule, not the exception. "Women do a lot of the hard labour in the fields, too," says Hoffineyer. "The army was not oppressive," says Kloeze, suggesting it broke some misconceptions some people have' about Communist China. There are - areas or "zones" where no one 'is allowed to enter, but "generally, we could walk almost anywhere," he says. Hoffineyer says it's "very interesting to see a country in rapid change." The destruc- tion of monuments during the Cultural Revolution—a period of great ,upheaval. when most culture was banned—has now reversed itself. Restoration of old statues and buildings is occurring due mainly, Kloeze says, to "the people's optimism. They foresee an increased standard of living for themselves." The Communist giant has changed so often in recent years, it is very difficult for the Chinese people to plan ahead, says Hoffmeyer. "There are many inconsistencies. Something may be O.K. in one place, but not in others," she says, indicating the govern- ment bureaucracy is huge and very slow. Getting their visa in Hong Kong at the Chinese Embassy was a case in point. "It took three working days to acquire the visa," says Kloeze. For Harold Kloeze and Linda Hoffineyer of Goderich tile .trip was very enlightening indeed. They say they gained a new perspec- tive on the world, experiencing different countries and cultures. The local pair en- courage anyone with a thirst for something new and different to consider China as a potential destination. Ontario March of Dimes launches new summer campaign to raise funds. The Ontario March of Dimes is expanding its fund raising efforts to assist adults with physical disabilities. A new summer cam- paign will appeal for donations across the province during the month of June. The goal of the campaign is to raise $300,000. Dr. David Logan, president of the organization, says, "This is an important new venture for the Ontario March of Dimes. We, and the physically disabled adults we assisst, need generous contribu- tions from everyone." Dr. Logan added that the summer campaign will become an an- nual event as is the Ability Fund Campaign' held in January and February. The Ontario March of Dimes provides many and varied services. They range from the provision of mobility aids such as wheelchairs and artificial limbs to assistance with housing and employment. One very special program that begins soon is the Ontario March of Dimes' camps. These camps provide a holiday in the sun for many people who are in total -care facilities and rarely .get ,a recreational break out- doors. They Also accommodate couples who otherwise might never have a chance to vacation together. One such couple is recently married Linda Thibault and Dean Robinson of Lindsay, who will be honeymooning at one of the camps in August. Both attended camp in 1984, and are looking forward to spending a very special time together this year. The Ontario March of Dimes is only able to provide these important services through generous donations and grants. Watch your mail for an appeal, and please, give as generously as you are able. Donations can also be sent to summer campaign, Ontario March of Dimes, 60 Overlea Blvd., Toronto, Ontario, M4H 1B6.
