It will be a co-operative effort of the Ministry of Labour and Junior Achievement of Canada, a non-profit educational organization. The program, "Ontario Youth Summer ' Enterprises", is spon.sored as art of the overnrnen s `Summer '72' program. It will provide opportunities for male and female students to run their own miniature companies during July and August. The participants will learn by facing the same situations and tackling the same problems as most businesses. Each of the miniature companies of 25 students will produce and market its product, items such as artificial flowers, beer can lighters and desk pens, The students' summer will be filled with challenging experiences such as selling to the public, often door to door, keeping books in order, preparing and discussing company reports and policy, developing relations with his or her co-workers as well as surmounting the daily crises of keeping an enterprise productive and profitable. The companies will have access to the advice of college Continued from Page 1 given unsolicited help from a well-intentioned stranger. A stranger will spot a blind person hesitating at a busy intersection or at a bus stop, and, without formality, shove the sightless person, in the direction he thinks, the blind person wants to go. "It's shattering and unnerving," Hayter says. "It's as though you—a sighted person— were suddenly grabbed in the pitch dark and forced to move into . unknown territory, To make matters worse, you sometimes end up on the Wrong side of the street or on the wrong bus." The first rule about helping a blind person, therefore, is to ascertain if he wants help, If he does, then ask hilm where he's going. You then offer him your arm, He'll likely clasp it lightly at the elbow, walking a half pace behind you, "The blind person is not a cripple," says Hayter, "He doesn't have to be pushed, shoved, prodded or lifted. All he wants is to be guided Safely. That gives him a feeling of security. You're his seeing eye," DRESSES EASILY At home, Stu Hayter functions confidently, without apprehension, thAnkS to the calmingpresence and organizing ability of his wife, Sharon, a former nurse. He can dress harmoniously for the office, on his own, each morning, because of the ingenious part in the singing with Mrs, Taylor accompanying. Mrs. Robert Phillips played a piano solo, The business part of the Meeting was taken by the President Mrs. Elmer Trommer, The minutes of the previous meeting were accepted as read by the secretary, Mrs. John Daer, The financial statement was given by the treasurer, Mrs. Thomas Haggitt.

Resource people from business and the community will also assist mainly in special seminars including one on how to approach jab hunting in the future. The participants may earn some remuneration depending on the profitability of their enterprise. Mr. Guindon emphasized, however, that it is expected the students will profit Aerimarily„from, ,the „bevole.ein pot_ experience, offering an understanding of business, an insight into human relations and leadership training as well as practical vocational experience. This summer's program which will be operated in up to 14 communities is a dramatic expansion of a highly successful pilot project- conducted last summer in Windsor, also sponsored jointly by Junior Achievement and the Department of Labour. Junior Achievement in co- ordinating the program, will employ many of their proven materials and methods as well as the facilities used in their regular program. The regular program, which runs from October to May, involves 3,800 of Ontario's youth.

There's a bureau drawer for his socks with a pile of black on the extreme right, then the navy blues, the browns, grays and whites. His shirts are on hangers hanging in order. Going left to right, there are hangers for three blue shirts, two brown, two green, one red, four white and two yellow. Sweaters and suits can be quickly identified by touch. Understandably, for after- dinner relaxation, Hayter prefers his radio or his stereo to his television set. But, sometimes, he will "watch" a TV show with Sharon, choosing a program that can be largely comprehended via the ear. When he loses the drift of the program, Sharon, provides a running commentary. Occasionally, Hayter will go to a movie, making absolutely certain beforehand that it's not a foreign film with English sub-titles, But Stu Hayter's greatest source of pleasure, after Classical music, is listening to books that are read by professional actors and recorded on 12-hour cassettes. He notes approvingly that the literature available to the blind is no longer confined to such "safe" works as the l3ible, Anne of Green Gables and David Copperfield, "The thinking used to be that 'the blind, like children, had to be protected from naughty language and sex and violence. Thank God we can now keep in touch with contemporary literature, the same as everyone else;" The segment of our community that supports the Clinton and District Christian School on Princess St. has invited the community at large to attend its FINE ARTS FESTIVAL scheduled for Friday, April 21.
