She communicated only with the ntm-disabled person by bringing one menu and asking him, What will she ye?"' The she was his companion.. A.1104.handicappe4 friend and 1 develop, ed a method for dealing with such a *nation. As soon aS we realized what was happening,1 began to de all the talking. I didn't give my friends's. order, but I gave my Own order-km(11Y, clearly, and in great . detail. I asked for the second cup of coffee and what was aVailable for dessert. Sometime1 let the waitress recite the whole list of desserts, even though I already knew what 1 wanted. (I did it for spite; I never suggested 1 was a saint.) 1 asked for the cheque and even paid for the meal. (My friend paid her share under the table or when we got back to the car; I'm not that generoesi Our purpose was to make the WaitreSS interact with me and to help her realize 1 was no different from any other customer, In most eases, by the time we left, the waitress, was talking with me in a more relaxed manner, I'm not naive enough to believe 1 changed her whole attitude toward handicapped people; I just hope she wasn't quite as stunned the' next titne a handicapped person cameinto the restaur- ant. Mthough the above situation can be frustrating and embarrassing for everyone involved, it is usually caused by misunder- standing and. can be handled on a •one-to-one basis. As one person_ put it: "When you're handicapped', you don't just go halfway to make yourself accepted. You have to go three-quarters of the way or a DiScrirninatiOn against the handicapped Appears in even more blatant forms, beard .and; read about many cases. MO -led persons have been refused .W*0 in restaurant* and: asked to leave Store*. They have been denied .aces to public transportation and educational They balm been refused tenancy in apartment buildings. They have been not Only opportunities to work but even opportunities to fill out johapplication forms. Bow would you feel if any of these things happened to, you? What would yOtt do? Would you take it to court? The federal government has legislation which prohibits discrimination on grounds of physical disability in the area of employment. The provincial government* of Nova Scotia and Prince dward islat4 have similar legislation. Manitoba and New Brunswick prohibit .discrimination on ground of physical disability in areas of employment, public accoMmodations, services and facilities, property rental and occupancy, and publications, signs, display of various representations etc:, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatche- wan, Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland, Northwest Territories and Yukon, as yet, have no such iegisIation- Handicapped assoCiations across, Canada are lobbying to have the federal legislation ex tended, while associations in Ontario and other provinces. are lobbying to have the physically disabled included in Human Rights Codes. One in; seven persons in Ontario alone has a physical disability; the physically disabled are finally being recognized as a minority grotto which is entitled to protection, under the Human Rights Act. Changes in legislation come painfully slow., In the meantime, respect for each other's differences and acceptance of each other's equality must begin at .the grass roots' level on a one-to-one basis. 3 North Star cots" ...BUY 'EM.NOWI . . - e Have .A Terrific Mahi St. Seaforth 5274110 Tractor Boots CO ct tT.)
