"If an employer iswilling to train an apprentice properly," he adds, "he may have a lifetime employee." As the executive director of the Association, Don Cam- pbell is also responsible for its other programs including the Huron Hope Day Nursery in Grand Bend and the Huron Hope School within the McCurdy Public School' system - the first integrated school in Ontario. In the latter facility, adults in their thirties and forties can obtain an education that was previously denied to them. Also under his jurisdiction is the 28 James Street Residence in Exeter. In the . future, the Association hopes to obtain a building that the employees can renovate to serve as another residence for ARC participants.

(photo by Elaine Townshend) ARC Industries has come a long way since 1973. Unlike an average business, the workshop must maintain a balance between rehabilitation and produc- tivity. Don Campbell cites the instructors for their energy, creativity and dedication. "The reivards of in- volvement in ARC can't all be, measured in dollars and cents," he adds. Meanwhile, the employees are able to develop their skills and their self-confidence; they learn to function in- dependently in the com- munity. Integration into society rather than exclusion is stressed in the ARC program. Instead of having special work projects designed for them, they are integrated into already existing services, and many ARC participants will eventually compete in the open labour market. �TM When the Goderich Ostomy .Ssociation held its i�rganizational meeting on. t~ebruary 21, members ;'developed abasic three-point ,term of reference.

"We would be working closely with the Cancer Society or may become a branch of the society," the motion noted. "The society could provide transportation, some supplies, plus provide good contact with the new ostomates and general public." To achieve these goals the group suggested four actions First time at Christian School they could follow will be carried out` patient (with the 'dol for permission) betfrp, operations and 'after. when the patient arrives home.

Register kindergarten Children: It was an historic day for ., the Clinton and District Christian School on Thur- sday, March 17 when for the first time in their 15 years of existence invited parents to the school to register for kindergarten. The decision to introduce a kindergarten to the school was made at the general society meeting held on February 28, 0,ancl the board has been entertaining ap- plications for the new teaching position and at the same time has been looking into the possible enrolment for this class. The principal, Ralph Schuurman, described first day registration results as "Going beyond all my ex- pectations'. I expected perhaps 20 to enrol. Imagine my surprise when by noon we - had enrolled 25 pupils for kindergarten". He added that he anticipated at least two or three more registrations in the next few weeks. Asked whether the Board had considered the possibility of having two kindergarten classes, he said that they had not as yet thought it necessary to discuss that eventuality, but he hinted that if the expected two or three more pupils were to materialize, two classes would be very likely. It was a teacher who summed up the events of the day. He explained that the success of the day was all the more gratifying in the light of the general call today to, not only basic education, but also to an education which stresses the inculcation of those social, moral and religious values taught at home. "Perhaps he said, "today's registration can be seen as a show of confidence in the school by, not only our present members, but also by those newly introduced to the system."
