Flour, salt and water are mixed together, to make the dough and from this, the fascinating little characters are formed. They are placed in the oven to dry, and then painted or lacquered. The result is amazing, and these figurines make lovely wall pieces. Communion for Anglicans was served Tuesday afternoon with Reverend Gordon Simmons in charge. All residents were in- vited, and there was a large attendance. The Salvation Army from Goderich was here on Thursday afternoon, and presented a concert in song and music.

We extend a warm welcome to Mr. Jim Riley of the Brussels area, who has come to Huronview on vacation care. The the family of the late Mr. Orby Kestle, we convey our sincere sympathy. Mr. Kes- tle was a resident of Huronview. - `Doublethink' hurts disabled "George Orwell'sroncept of `do blethink' - to.Cnowd reqs to know -maybe reality with disability than many people are willing to admit," according to Wade Hamp- ton, President of the Ontario March of Dimes. In 1984, most people hold two sets of beliefs about disabled people. Following 1981, the International Year of Disabled Persons, people have accepted the fact that disabled men and women, with sufficient suppor=t. -and -incentives; -ears -_function -as- - dependently as anyone else. However, at the same time, many among us believe that others should be the ones to take the first step, opening doors through education, ac- cessible housing, training and hiring people with disabilities. "This form of `doublethink' exists and can hurt society as a whole and the development and integration of anindividual in par- ticular," says Hampton. Nineteen Eighty -Four also depicts an age of uniformity, where large groups of people are conveniently categorized. People with disabilities are segregated frequently as a separate . class in this m anner today. Dehumanization of this kind fosters a Nine- teen Eighty -Four reality. Orwell sounds the alarm that the reality can be avoided, if peopletake action. ' That is Why the OntariaMarch of- Dimes is' committed -to providing many, services which assist physically disabled adults in. Ontario achieve a meaningful and dignified life. And that is why it initiates public educa- tion programs to help others understand the needs and abilities of disabled men and women. With unemployment rates for disabled people estimated to be between 50 and 80 per cent, the March of Dimes offers vocational assessment and training at 11 centers in the province. When an individual is ready for competitive employment, he or she is pro- vided with assistance in finding a job. Disabled adults are supplied with a varie- ty of assistive devices to help them regain or maintain their mobility and independence. Aids available include walkers, canes, pro- sthetic limbs and sophisticated electronic devices which can turn on and adjust elec- trical appliances with the touch of a single switch. Community Development staff assist self- help groups, professionals and businesses in making communities more accessible for persons with disabilities, through such ac- tivities as curb cuts, renovations,. transportation and recreation services. Enjoying a summer vacation is often • taken1for granted. But for many people who live year-round in chronic care wards, a -vacation atone- of -three -Ontario March of Dimes' camps is their only alternative. Campers are able to take advantage of sum - mer activities while receiving the necessary support care, if required. In a pilot project introduced this year, the Ontario March of Dimes is exploring microcomputer applications which can enhance recreation, communication, educa- tion and employment, possibilities for disabl- ed adults. Tndividualslivrngin`ho'spitals and' group homes will be using microcomputers to pursue some of their personal interests, from music to following the stock market. Adaptations to the technology make it ac- cessible to individuals who cannot use a standard typewriter or computer keyboard. "But, simply knowing that these and other services are available to disabled adults through the Ontario March of Dimes is not enough," says Mr. Hampton. "We need the continued support and commitment of business leaders and the public to offer full participation to physically disabled adults in every aspect of life in Ontario." This year's Ontario March of Dimes' Ability Fund campaign takes place throughout January until February 14. • Heart.
