When the ,Ludmow lions Club was formed Harvey was named Honorary President and was elected by acclamation to the position of District Deputy.. Governor of Region 3 - Distrid A9. He subsequently held, the position of Cabinet Secretary of District A9 which governs 26 clubs in the area in 1964. While Harvey was District Governor in 1957, it was recognized a school was needed fir the mentally retarded in : this area. Schools for handicapped children were a new venture in Ontario and Lions Clubs of Wingham, Lrdmow, Brussels, Blyth and Howick took up the challenge. Harvey,. as District Deputy Governor, played a very active and enthusiastic part in realizing this important project. A founding member of the Wingham and District Association for the Mentally Re- tarded,' Harvey gave unsparingly of his time and efforts to establish the school and to encourage the support of other organiza-c,,, tions and individuals in this worthwhile project. At that time there were no grants so public interest in the form of donations was the only source of funding. Schools for mentally handicapped child- ren came under the jurisdiction of Ontario county school boards as educational facilit- ies in 1969 but the locaiassodation was still responsible for funding trips, sports events, camping and many other activities which brought a great degree of happiness to the. students. . . An Advisory Committee was established with representatives from each association for the mentally retarded and Harvey repre- sented the Wingham Association on this committee,; working to acquire the specializ- ed materials and equipment necessary for teaching and training these special stud- ents. Harvey was a valuable member of this committee for more than 10 years. The Lmdknow Lions Club recognized the distinguished community service record of member Harvey Webster at their meeting Monday evening. A life member of the Wingham and District Association for the Mentally Retarded, Harvey has worked diligently to provide educational opportunities for the mentally handicapped in this area.

OPhoto by Sharon Dietz) Harvey's, interest in the mentally retard- ed did not end with the establishment and support of the Golden Girde School. In the early 1970s it became apparent there was a need ` for early, childhood education for Mentally handicapped youngsters and for young . school age children before they started attending the Golden Circle School. The Silver Circle Nursery School was started in 1973 financed by the Wingham and District Association for the Mentally Retarded. Harvey worked diligently . encouraging organizations and individuals to help with the funding for this project or volunteer work to support it. In 1977 after lengthy negotiations the Silver Circle Nursery School roved into its new quarters in the Children's Day Care Centre in Wingham Some grants became available,' however a portion of the funding for the school is still the responsibility of the Association.. Harvey was an initial member of the Day Care Board which operates the Children's Centre. Harvey also strongly supported the concept of a training workshop for the mentally handicapped. Harvey actively worked towards government recognition of the need for such workshop facilities and following much optimism, work, money and. perserverance an excellent workshop, the Jack Reavie Vocational Centre, has been Tarp to page 70 Bushes Wanted BUYING HARDWOOD BUSH LOTS OR BW Craig AI Craig SELECTED TREES —Ceti Prices—, CRAIG HARDWOOD LTD.
