Photo by Reg McDonald which was co-sponsored by the Ontario March of Dimes and the Action League for Physically Handicapped Adults in London (ALPHA). The purpose was to make the public more aware of the problems encountered by people in wheelchairs living in a world designed for able-bodied persons. For the three volunteers, the scheme resulted in a learning experience. Mayor Bigelow called it "eye-opening." When Bill Brady began his morning talk show, he sounded rather grouchy. "I came to work in a wheelchair," he explained, "and I don't like it." He added that he had spent most of the morning trying to manoeuver around his desk and through a doorway. Later he and the Mayor took part in a competition in Reg Cooper Square. An obstacle course, similar to the one used at the Olympic Games for the Disabled, was laid out. A pacer from the London Wheelchair Association demonstrated how to manoeuver through the pile-ons and up the ramps. He completed the run in 52 seconds, Meanwhile the "beginners" turned in times ranging from 3132 to five minutes Heather Jamieson wrote a detailed account the' her day's experiences for the Free Presss. Her frustrations began early when she attempted to pull on a pair of slacks without standing, By the time she pulled herself in and out of a taxi, her arms and back ached. She later learned that a disabled person on a fixed income cannot afford to use the taxi regularly. The Free Press building was accessible, but she had tosearch for a washroom that was large enough for the chair. She ad- mitted she never realized how high the mirrors are in most public washrooms. Outside on the sidewalks, her frustrations continued, when she had to detour several blocks to find a ramped curb. At a bank. the manager came out, becaus'e his customer could oot get in over the four cement steps. Heather 's article contained three photos: One showed her tipping over a sidewalk curb; another pictured her struggling Over gravel, and in the third, she stretched to reach a stamp machine that was just too high, In summing up, her ex- periences, she felt she was discriminated againOt by the environment, not by people. However, she realized that she might not have been as readily accepted if she had spastic movements, uncoitrollable facial muscles, defonhed limbs or slurred speech. The day after her° story ap- peared in the Free Press the phones rang off the walls in the March of Dimes and ALPHA offices. All the calls but one came from handicapped persons wanting to know more about ALPHA and how they could become involved. The only communication from an able- bodied person was someone from the Post Office asking how their stamp machine could be made accessible. Awareness Day was a success, The theme of the program was "Put Yourself In The Picture,". and that is what Mayor Bigelow, Bill Brady and Heather Jamieson did They put themselves in anothers place to Letter un- derstand his problems, frustrations and philosophies.

"When you cook Brussels sprouts, drop them into lots of rapidly boiling water; keep the water boiling, leave uncovered, and cook quickly just until tender-crisp." This advice comes from the food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. These recommendations, if followed, will give a vegetable of the best color, the best flavor, and as high a level of nutrients as possible. The pigment chlorophyll is what makes Brussels sprouts green. If you drop the vegetables into boiling water, the color will intensify. Watch it. The green color will seem to surface as though it had been shocked by the hot bath, If in error you cover the Brussels sprouts at this point, the naturally occurring organic acids which are released into the cooking water will be trapped. The vegetable will then cook in an acid medium, and acid changes chlorophyll — turning the green pigment an unpleasant olive- green color, By leaving the lid off, the acid will escape and the bright green color will remain, Cooking BruSsels sprouts in lots of water dilutes those naturally occurring acids making the water less "acid", thus helping to retain the color. Be careful not to overcook Brussels sprouts. Overcooking causes excessive loss of valuable nutrients, especially Vitamin C, of which Brussels sprouts are an excellent source.
