lrfr Handicapped Plan Petition To Legislature RUTLAND The Architectural Barriers Advisory Committee of the Vermont Association for the Crippled, plans to approach the 1969 Vermont Legislature with proposals to amend existing state law pertaining to "architectural barriers." VAC efforts were responsible in part for passage by the 1967 Legislature of the law entitled, "An Art Relating to Design of Public Buildings to Accommodate Handicapped Persons." However, VAC officials feels the law is not strong enough fc tf -i i i I i i i 1 Viewed from meadows to the southeast, this side of the new Trapp Family Lower Lodge looks out across the fields to distant mountains.

Discussing the problem at VAC's Children's Rehabilitation Center in Rutland were the Association's executive committee members, headed by Mrs. Dayton J. Wakefield, president. Robert H. Harrington of Mont-pelier, was appointed the new chairman of VAC's Architectural Barriers Advisory Committee, more famUiarly known as "ABAC." Harrington is also planning assistant for the Governor's Commission for Statewide Planning for Vocational Rehabilitation Services.

He replaces Prof. E. C. Schneider of the University of Vermont, as ABAC chairman. It was under Prof.

Schneider's leadership that local action committees were set up in Rutland and Burlington. Numerous contacts were made with persons building new buildings, both public and private, in an effort to eliminate architectural barriers prior to actual construction. Schneider's group, with the help of Vermont Jaycees, conducted an architectural barriers survey of 493 existing buildings here in the state. The survey was funded by the aforementioned Governor's Commission. ABAC further worked with the commission to prepare a report of recommendations for action concerning architectural barriers.

The report was made public prior to the passing of the 1967 law. Harrington announced ABAC will review the current law and prepare proposed amendments in order to have a new draft ready for consideration at the coming Legislature. The ABAC review is planned to include discussion sessions with officers of the Departments of Education, Public Safety and Development, since all are involved in matters of building codes and recreational facilities.

Mayor Nichols cited the economic gains to be realized by the Greater Rutland community.

"Not only will local, businessmen be able to travel to New York, Washington, Cleveland or other cities, and return in the same day, but more visiting businessmen and vacationers will be attracted to the area as a result of the new service." "Rutland has," the mayor continued, "seen considerable growth in the past few years, but should see even greater development as a result of the activities of Northern Airways." Assisting Mayor Nichols cut the ribbon, signifying the start of the new service, were Mohawk's stewardess, Joanne Brown, and Northern's stewardess, Peggy Wright. Among the passengers on the inaugural run was Clifford R. Barnes, managing director of the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce. Bames, a proponent of better air service ever since he arrived in Rutland a year and a half ago, was one of the most active figures in seeking Northern's service. Bames flew to Albany to meet some relatives and ushered them back to Rutland.

The woman is one of 13 North Miami Beach residents who start each day by calling the police. "And if they don't call us, we call them," explains North Miami Beach Police Chief Albert E. Dubois. The moming "Party line," as some participants call it, has been working for a month. Police refer to the service as the frosty and keep vour for production.

It corresponds in architecture to that of the main lodge, reminiscent of the Von Trapp homeland in the Austrian Alps. The building boasts balconies opening out of the guest rooms and will be beautified by a profusion of flowering plants produced on the grounds. "I live in a house by myself and I have wonderful peace of mind knowing I have someone to call in case something happens to me, or that I won't be lying here sick or injured without anyone to check on me," she said. Police keep files of each participant's health records and vital statistics to aid them in giving emergency treatment if needed. "The police bend over backwards to be cheerful, which gives you a real lify.

I think this program is a terrific idea," said a 71-year-old widow. So do Dubois and David Harris, the city's senior citizens program director. Harris was the originator of the program and recruited its first members. "I'd like to see other cities pick this up and establish their own programs," Harris said. North Miami Beach police say they can handle as many as 60 persons on the present system.

The project has had only one dropout. An elderly man, who kept forgetting to call, decided he was causing the police too much trouble and took his name off the Reassurance roll.

"The aim of the program is to give reassurance to elderly citi- zens who live alone, should they become disabled in their home or need assistance which could properly be provided by the police department," Dubois said. If one of the senior citizens hasn't phoned the police department by 9 a.m., police call the home.

Members of the Aviation Committee of the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce, officials of Northern Airways and Mohawk Airlines, passengers, and a group of interested spectators joined Mayor Harold J. Nichols in a send-off of the new flight service.

Herb Cohen, master of ceremonies, and chairman of the Aviation Committee, introduced Northern Airways' President, E. Andrew Deeds, and Rutland Mayor Harold J. Nichols. Deeds spoke briefly about the agreement between Mohawk and Northern, which is now providing Rutland with three flights a day. "Across the country major airlines, like Mohawk, and smaller lines, like Northern, are cooperating to give communities, such as Rutland, better air service," commented Deeds.

"As a result of this new service, Mohawk will gain more traffic in Albany; Northern will enlarge its route structure and generate new traffic, and the public will benefit from more MtUTBL SP'WITS GUBtT.
