Thomsons spearhead association
BY JOANNE
BUCHANAN
Freda and Stewart
Thomson of Goderich are
looking for feedback from
people in Huron and
Perth Counties who may
be interested in forming
an association for parents
of handicapped children.
They want to know hcw
many people would be
interested in forming
such an association and
what concerns ana needs
these people have. This
information does not
necessarily have to come
from the parents of
handicapped children
themselves, says Mrs.
Thomson. Any interested
individuals may reply.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomson
have a three-year-old son
with cerebral palsy. In
conversation with the
district nurse., for the
Ontario Society for
Crippled Children some
time ago, Mrs. Thomson
Peter Zankowski, a Grade 9 and 101mathematics
and science teachers, is the only new face at
GDCI this year. Mr. Zankowski,• a University of
Western Ontario and Althouse College graduate,
taught at F.E. Madill Secondary School in
Wingham for three years.(photo by Dave Sykes)
voiced her need to share
and discuss her special
problems with other
parents of handicapped
children. She wasn't the
only person to voice. such
a need to this nurse.
The nurse got all those
interested people
together and' a meeting
was held in Seaforth last
Wednesday evening to.
discuss ways in.which an
association could be
formed. Mr. and Mrs.
Thomson were named as,

The Past Noble Grands
of Rebekah Lodge 89 held
their meeting at the
MacKay Hall September
12 with 19 members in
attendance. The
President, Mrs. Ruby
Snaze', presided.
In the business, there
was a discussion on a fall
banquet and a committee
was appointed to look
after it. A report on
visiting and sending out
flowers and cards to any
ill members was given by
Mrs. Elva Osbaldeston
and Mrs. Vera Larder.
A game of euchre was
enjoyed. Mrs. Helen
Morley was the high
winner and Mrs. Della
Johnston was low.
A vote of thanks was
extended to the lunch
committee convened by
Mrs. Ruth Hayden,
Forging out a future...

mandril, a piece of cone
shaped metal around
which the hot metal may
be shaped. Scrolling tools
can be used too.
After the various pieces
of metal are shaped and
allowed to cool down,
they are assembled
together by riveting and
collaring and, or they can
be forge welded.
There is quite a dif-
ference between forge
welding and arc or gas
welding, explains Jim.
All three types are used
to warm up the metal
until it is liquid enough to
be fused with " another
piece but each type uses a
different source of heat.
Forge welding uses coke,
arc welding uses elec-
tricity and gas, welding,
of course, uses gas.
Once the metal is
shaped and assembled
into the item it is suppose
to be, it is painted or
coated with linseed oil
and beeswax.
Many people think of
wrought iron work as
steel that is simply cut,
welded 'together and
painted black or white,
says Jim. But he'thinks of
it as steel warmed over a
coal forge and shaped on
an anvil --special hand
crafted work.
It is 'difficult to make
two things exactly the
same, says Jim, but that
is the nature of the art.
He uses basic,
everyday steel in his
work which he buys
locally but he is always
on the look out for "dif-
ferent types of 'wierd and
wonderful steel." He -gets
his coal from the Elmira
area. There are several
blacksmiths among the
Mennonites there and
they get large shipments
of coal from Penn-
sylvania a couple of times
a year. -
Jim is making railings
for the Gledhill house in
Benmiller. He is also'just
finishing up some custom
ordered iron gates. He
enjoys .designing and
making gates.
Jim plans to travel east
for a few weeks and then
he will come back and
work on building up his
stock for the Christmas
Country Fair; at Saltford
Valley Hall on October 17
and 20. At the fair, he will
display for sale, hand
crafted fireplace tool
-sets, door knockers,
candle holders and
trivets.
If you would like to
know more about the
traditional artof
blacksmithing, you can.
talk with- Jim at the
annual fair or phone him
at his forge (524-8096).

delegates for the
association and will at-
tend another meeting in
Chatham on November
10.
The association would
be a sounding board and a
source of comfort to the
parents of handicapped
children. They would find
out through the
association that they are
not alone in their
problems. Tran-
sportation and education
for their handicapped
children would be
discussed and acted
upon.
One of the association's
hopes would be to have a
therapist visit a central
area in the two counties
so parents would not
always have to do the
travelling. Mrs. Thomson
says she and her husband
have been travelling once
a week for two years with
their son to a therapist in
London.
Parent relief programs
would also be looked into
along with a special
program to ' train
babysitters for han-
dicapped children.
Ali these ideas are just
in the discussion stage so
far. Mr. and Mrs.
Thomson would be
pleased to hear 'from
those interested in for-
ming an association or
offering any input at all.
They can be re -ached by
writing to: 114 Suncoast
Drive, Goderich.
