wear seat belts.

The bargains you find at
the Opportunity Rehabilita-
tion Workship’s thrift store
at 151 West 16th Street,
North Vancouver, are rather
special. The refurbishing of
these goods has played an
important part in training
vocationally handicapped
people for employment, and
the revenue from the store
helps to cover the ORW’s
operating expenses.

ORW is a_ non-profit
society set up to help those
people who have difficulty
holding _ jobs
because of physical, social,
emotional or educational
disabilities. Goods donated
by the public are used as the:
basic materials in job train-
ing courses in dry cleaning
and finishing, small and
large appliance repair and
reupholstery.

attractive | brown/orange/

four-seater chesterfield suite
in a contemporary brown and.
white plaid is priced at $240.

There are ladies’ dresses-—
