Varna UCW learn of ARC
Don Campbell, South Huron
Director of the Mentally
Retarded and Executive Director
of ARC Industries, Dashwood,
was the guest speaker at the
September meeting of Varna
United Church Women. 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

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. During the business
meeting, it was decided to hold
the annual smorgasbord supper
October 5. The price will be the
same as last year.
Varna United Church an -
niversary services are to be held
September la, with Rev. Grant
Mills, former president of London
Conference as guest preacher. A
group from Exeter will provide
special music, and will present a
concert at 7:30 p.m.
In men's slowpitch playoffs,
Varna defeated the Old
Homestead team 16-13 Saturday
night. Sunday night they lost to
Paul Bunyan Camp, who are
winners of the series.
Stuart and Emma Beatty of
Wingham were guests of Bill and
Eleanor McAsh for a', few days
last week, and were present when
Rec group
plans event
The August meeting of the
Stanley Township Recreation
Committee was held August 30,
with Don Brodie as chairman.
Other members present were
Jean Rathwell, Shirley Hill,
Mary Erb, Clarence • Rau,
Howard Armstrong, John Paul
Rau, Arnold Taylor and Harvey
Hayter. Absent was Gerald
Hayter.
The corn roast, held earlier in
August and considered very
successful, will probably become
an annual event. The committee
is going to have a dusk -to -dawn
light erected at the ball park
parking lot, and storage shelves
and cupboards built to hold each
team's equipment. Also
discussed for next year was
fencing behind the players'
benches to protect spectators,
and also a practice diamond to be
cleared north of the big diamond.
Tickets are on sale now for the
fall dance on October 15 at Hully
Gully. Music will be by the Music
Makers. Tickets cost $10 a
couple. Lunch is included. If you
want tickets, contact any one of
the above-mentioned committee
members..
This Sunday, September 11. at 2
p.m. the Stanley Township
Recreation Committee is
challenging the coaches of
township ball teams to an
exhibition game at the Varna ball
park - a great way to wind our
1977 ball season.

have had a .happy childhood, but
you certainly are having a long
one."

OLD-TIME MUSIC FOR ROLLER SKATING AND ICE SKATING — A
1926 Wurlitzer military band organ attracted a great deal of atten-
tion at the Bayfield Fair. It is owned by G.S. Morley of Goderich, who
bought it in Beaverton 18 years ago and repaired it himself. Its music
added to the gaiety of the fair. Staff photo
