Some mgjor victories for disabled

TORONTO (CP) — The
expected announcements
soon of a federal minister
responsible for the status of
the disabled and an amend-
ment to the federal Human
Rights Act ensuring full
rights for the disabled are
seen as major victories in the
battle for greater recognition
by Canada’s 2.2 million dis-
abled people.

“It’s a beginning,” says
Beryl Potter of Toronto, a
triple amputee. “We've dug
the groundwork, but, there's
a lot more to do,”

That includes, says Potter
and other spokesmen for the
disabled, affirmative action
services, an increase in disa-
bility pensions and construc-
tion of income-geared hous-
ing that meets their special
needs.

But while some programs
in 1981, designated Inter-
national Year of Disabled
Persons by the United Na-
tions, have produced break-
throughs, opinions as to the
success of the year are
divided.

Jack Sarney, executive dir-
ector of the Canadian Re-
habilitation Council for the
Disabled, called it an “out-
standing success,” although
he had feared it would result
in a hodge-podge of unco-
ordinated projects.

Stephen Crozier disagrees.

NO CENTRAL THRUST

“There was no central
thrust,” said Crozier, editor
of Spectrum, a magazine
started last summer for the

Local St. John
Ambulance
officers elected

Dave Dudley was named
president when the St. John
Ambulance, Castlegar
Branch, held its annual gen-
eral meeting Nov. 25 at the
Hi Arrow Arms Motor Hotel.

Other ‘elected officers are
vice-president Pat Rodrick,
training officers Ken Mis-
cavitch and Dan Shields and
secretary-treasurer Diane
Suglielmi.

The advantages of the new
multi-media standard pro-
gram were the topic for dis-
cussion. This program may
be held sometime early in the
new year.

disabled. “The federal gov-
ernment spent a lot of money
on community projects,
aimed at heightening aware-
ness, but what (is) needed is
jobs. Everything else flows
out of that.”

A Commons special com-
mittee on the disabled and
handicapped, headed by
David Smith, Liberal mem-
ber of Parliament for the
Toronto riding of Don Valley
East, recognized the need for
jobs and called for affir-
mative action programs in all
government departments.

Employment and Immigra-
tion Minister Lloyd Ax-
worthy announced earlier
this year that the federal
government would subsidize
up to 85 per cent of wages
paid by private employers
who hired handicapped per-
sons.

In another move, Revenue
Canada announced it was ex-
panding the definition. of
people who qualify for a dis-
ability tax deduction which
was increased this year to
$1,980 from $1,810.

ployers set up equal hiring

Parents
demand
better returns

on trust funds

TORONTO (CP) — The
Ontario government is con-
sidering changing its policy
on funds held in trust for
minors because most of the
$180 million invested is yield-
ing only 10 per cent.

Angry parents have com-
plained in writing to On-
tario’s Official Guardian
about the fate of the money
that children have been
awarded by court claims for
damages or had left to them
from an estate or lottery
winnings. et i

While interest “rates on
some recent short-term ‘in-
vestments have risen to
above 18 per cent, a provin-
cial committee has fixed the
rate of return on the trust
funds at 10 per cent.

Glenn Carter, a member of
the provincial committee su-
pervising the funds, said
changes to raise the interest
rate are being considered.

programs with help from the
Ontario Ministry of Labor.
They included IBM, Bell
Canada, Levi-Strauss, the
Bank of Montreal and the
Toronto-Dominion Bank.

In nine months, Toronto-

Dominion hired 21 disabled
persons “but there's still a lot
more we can do,” said the
bank’s equal opportunity offi-
cer, Mary Hatch.

However, Jack Thorstin-
son, director of Ontario's

Year of the Disabled pro-
gram, said the issue of jobs is
not easily solved.

“There's a new emphasis
on jobs, but the problem isn't
going to go away quickly,” he
said.
