’1 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill. Ontario. Thu .2! kaleidoscope By CATHY WILSON A tiny flower grew by the side of the road. It had soft blue petals and a yellow centre; but it was easily overlooked by a passerby whose gaze would be quickly caught by the towering. im- pressive blooms behind. The dainty. but often unnoticed flower was the Forget-Me-Not. It was quiet and shy and very often hidden. but it was still there waiting to delight a surprised finder with its delicate beauty. One day. a man who took pleasure in the small but happy thing's made by God. was strollâ€" ing along the road. when he stabbed his toe on a large stone. He looked down, and as he did so. spied the Forget-Me-Not concealed in the lavish garden. Struck by its beauty. he decided to dig a flower bed solely for the Forgetâ€"Me-I’ot. so that all who passed would see its happy flowerâ€"face. Soon, however, the man discovered many more of the little blue flowers. until one flower bed was not enough . . . . . . And now in Richmond Hill we have a nursery school. Thornhaven School. and ARC Industries, all flower beds for the retarded child- ren in York Central District (extending from the CFRB Sideroad to Steeles Avenue). But flower beds need constant care â€" water. cultivation and nutrients. And then, of course. new Forget-Me-Nots are always beingr found and new flower beds must be established for them. For this reason. the York Central Associa- tion for the mentally retarded is embarking this year upon the “Flowers Of Hope” campaign. You should by now have received in the mail a spring-pink envelooe containing a small package of flower seeds which. when planted, will grow into bright. brave cosmos. Also included is a blank cheque and an envelope addressed to the Association. This is your chance to show that you remember the “Forcet-Me-Nots." Your money Could not be better spent than in providing funds to make the retarded children as much useful and loved members of the com- unity as any other persons. Your contributions will be used to keep open the doors of A.R.C. Industries where graduates of Thornhaven School (those 18 and over) receive further training in certain types of assembly work. Also to he kept in operation by funds con- tributed to the Association is a nursery school run three mornings a week for children too young to attend Thornhaven. The school. staffed by one paid staff member plus a group of volunteers, should be operated five mornings a week but. at the moment, the Association just does not have the funds. ‘ Thornhaven School. subsidized by the pi ince. is no worry to the York Central Association. But they do have ambitious plans for a residence for the retarded within the near future. llllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIlllllllIllllllllllIlllltilllllIIIlliiltlllllltlilllllllllIll“Itilllilllllllllllllillllllllilllllllllllllli lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll \Illlllllllllllllllllllllltlllll . o < I . tilllllllltlllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllIlllllllIllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll'3 rsdav.

Protect your family and home from the mounting problems “People don’t realize the need for a residence of this type." said Joseph Dwyer. chairman of the residence committee. “With the advances in med- icine today. the. life expectation of the retarded is much greater than it used to be. These children grow to adults and very often do not pre-decease 'their parents. We need a residence with a family 'type of set-up for them.” A meeting. open to the public, will be held May 21 at eight o‘clock in Thornhaven School to discuss the need for a community residence. A panel discussion will be moderated by Donald Deacon, MLA York Centre. Everyone interested is welcome and urged to attend. So why not plant “Flowers Of Hope” on May 12. Mother’s Day, and the first day of Canadian Retarded Children’s Week? Bring hope to the three percent of the population who must not be forgotten. Remember: “No family is immune. Mental retardation strikes families rich and poor. learned and ignor- ant. It respects neither class nor race.” Many thanks to Clare Harrington of the York Central Association for mentally retarded for his assistance with information for this column. lhm“\‘il\l\ll'lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll '(Cathy Wilson is a secondary school student residing In Richmond Hill) ll\lllll\l\lll\\\l\\ll\\\\\l\\\l n E 5 E E E E .=. g g E g z 2 E g 5 g E E E g g g g g g g g = a a :5 E E g z .5.
