This young man is dedicated to helping the mentally and physically handicapped to become useful and happy citizens. He said that many of the people who work at ARC Industries have excellent production records, often doing tedious jobs much better than most employees in other industries. Visitors are surprised to see them skilfully using power machinery. To date they have had no accidents, probably because they have been carefully taught the correct way to do the job and because they concentrate on their work, with little or no daydreaming. A residence close to the factory would be a big asset to . em- ployees, as some ride long distances each day by bus. They are producing picnic tables (and are unable to keep up with the demand) and fish boxes, a few ceramics, string art, and so on, as well as doing contract jobs and envelope stuffing. Many of those are trained' at ARC Industries hope to get jobs in regular industry, but it is difficult �?r rna By MARY CHESSELL to place them at a time of nigh unemployment. The necessary amount of government funding is hard to get, especially for residences for small groups of people. Much help is needed from the people of Huron County. The Flowers of Hope campaign provides one opportunity to help those of all ages who need assistance in becoming productive members of society. Mr. Campbell said a number of applicants hope to be accepted for training at Dashwood. Space and money are the main problems.
