STARTING THE UNIT — One of the many things that was taken into consideration in the in-
stallation of the saw dust extractor was that the main switches should be accessible to the han-
dicapped. While Stan Pickering presses the start button Ralph Ross, Ricky Lach and Norm

stalled so as to allow for of machines to different
expansion and the switching locations.
An aim of practically any
type of rehabilitation
program beit for the men-
tally handicapped or
physically handicapped is
for their eventual in-
tegration back into the
mainstream of society.
At ARC Industries in
Dashwood one of the
programs that is highly
visible to the public is the
woodworking division.
Under the supervision of
Dave Hemmingway 17
employees produce picnic
tables, lawn furniture, signs,
garbage boxes, toys,
children's furniture, stakes
and do custom cutting and
custom planing. Contracts
from local firms is another
activity which the wood-
working division is engaged
in.
According to Hem-
mingway, the shop is busier
than ever with orders from
last year just being com-
pleted.
Noah's Arc, a store
operated during the summer
last year at Grand Bend,
proved to be an excellent
outlet for the various wood
products manufactured with
over 100 chairs and 200 picnic
tables being sold.
Although plans for the
distribution of the division's
products have not been
finalized, a love seat, patio
table, a barbeque table will
be added to the already
impressive lineup of
products.
One of the more ambitious
projects which the workshop
has taken on is the con-
structing of shelving for the
Heritage store in Exeter.
Hemmingway also said last
year the division had con-
structed and installed a
custom made redwood patio.
It is also hoped that the
manufacturing of fencing
can commence this year.
A side effect of the in-
creased activity at the ARC
woodworking facility has
been the procurement of a
saw dust extraction system.
Installation of the $15,000
unit was completed this
week by N. R. Murphy' of
Guelph, the makers of the
system.
The two main benefits of
such a system Hemmingway
said are a healthier work
environment and less waste
of the sawdust which is sold
to local farmers for use as a
cattle bedding material.
The saw dust container
which is mounted outside of
the workshop, will hold up to
120 cubic feet of saw dust and
can be hooked up to 10
machines.
