The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-07-15, Page 22PAGE 6A —GODERICH SIGNALeSTARONEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1981 Puppets delight children Do people laugh at you? How do you walk? How do you swim? Aire you sad because you can't do things that other people can do? Were you born like that or did you havean accident? These were some of the questions Goderich children asked four disabled puppets when the Kids on the Block puppet troupe visited here last week. Kids ..on the Block .is an International Year of the Disabled project which originated in Washington, D.C. and now has several troupes in Canada. The troupe of four, young pup- peteers who visited Goderich are from London and they are touring all over south- western Ontario this sum- mer with a Ministry of Culture and Recreation grant. . Seven puppets were featured in the Goderich act. which was performed Friday at Victoria Public School and again Saturday at Point Farms Provincial Park. One puppet is blind, one is deaf, one is mentally. retarded and one has cerebral palsy. Their dialogues attempt to dispel' old myths about disabled persons. Unlike most puppet shows, the lights are left on and children can see the puppeteers at work-. Following the per- formance on Friday, the older children were invited to stay for a workshop. And Shawn . Thomson of Goderich, who has cerebral palsy, delighted in meeting the puppet with cerebral palsy "I love you," he told the. CP puppet from the audience. Next Wednesday, July 15 at 2 p.m. at Victoria School, another puppet troupe will visit. The Puppetmongers Powell, a Canadiain puppet troupe which has played all over the world to rave reviews, will perform for the children. Admission is 50 cents. Baby shower held (Intended for last week) The Lower Level of Holmesville United Church was decorated with balloons and a baby doll last Monday night as the ladies of the congregation gathered together to: shower Lein Pham with gifts for the baby expected in the near future. Mrs. SuzanneBrandon and Elaine Townshend of Clinton sat on either side of her as Lein' . opened the many beautiful and. useful gifts Presented, to her. Iyer face was wreathed with smiles of happiness and gratitude and Lein's 2 -year-old daughter, 'Hung, watched eagerly to. see what each parcel con- tained. The Sunday School teachers gave an envelope of money. Gordon Stock gave a donation . for his mother, a patient in Goderich Hospital. Suzanne, on behalf of Lein thanked everyone, as did Elaine for the many lovely things. Fruit bread and cheese, also coffeewere served as all enjoyed a social time together.

Employment up 57 per cent Good news during this time of strikes, lay-offs and high inflation is that student employment in this area is up 57 per cent as compared to June of 1980. Recent figures from the Canada Employment Centre for Students office located in Goderich reveal that ap- proximately 537 students have been placed in various jobs. Of these 537, 408 have regular jobs and 129 are doing casual labor such as painting, grass cutting and haying. The increase in the number of job openings for students in the area this year is attributed to favorable weather . for outside labor, particularly agriculturally - related work. Also, a lot of advertising and promotion has been undertaken to encourage householders and employers to hire a student, even if it's for a day, a week or a month. Despite this, there are still 490 students in the Goderich area and 211 in the Exeter area seeking employment. Both Joni Thompson and the new student placement of- ficer, Audrey Vandenheuvel would like to encourage anyone needing a willing and helping hand, to contact therii at the Canada Employment Centre about hiring some - of these students. Give a student a chance to work for you this summer— you'll be glad you did!
