PG. 16. VILLAGE SQUIRE/JUNE 1978.
the accomplishment of the young man was the attitude exhibited
by the supervisor. She wasn't going to cuddle or protect those
three fellows for one minute out there on the job. They had taken
on a contract for money and she was insisting that they face the
challenge and accomplish the task at hand. It was as though she
were teaching them about the hard. cold facts of the working
world, and the three fellows had to work at full capacity in order
to handle the task. They went on to clean the rest of the windows
and left as they had come, in their little van, for the town of
Dashwood. Long after they had driven away I remembered that
look of achievement on the young man's face; so powerful and
satisfying.
That was in July, 1977. Move forward to March. 1978. 1
thought I would like to find out more about ARC Industries in
Dashwood, so 1 travelled there recently to learn more about these
people. I discoyered much more than 1 had anticipated.
Dashwood is a very quaint little town a few miles west of
Exeter on Highway 83. The ARC Industries building is the
former Dashwood Industries, manufacturer of wooden window
frames. It has been renovated into a spacious, highly efficient
centre for the 50 'employees' and the ten staff at ARC. Touring
the building is an educational experience and one that warms the
emotions as well. Everywhere you turn there is activity.
friendliness. but most of all productivity. The building is layed
out very well. Even though there are seven programmes in
progress. one is only a few steps from any of the projects going
on in the building at any one time.
I finally came face to face with the person who appears to be
largely responsible for all this energy and well organized
productivity. His name is Ron Heimrich, and he's the manager of
ARC. He's a man who gives off energy and confidence himself
because he has a very clear idea of what he is doing. He is most
animated and exuberant when he is discussing the things the
people at ARC are achieving. and the other things they intend to
achieve through determination and committment.
