18 Terrace Review — Wednesday, April 30, 1986

TERRACE — Local
residents were privileged
with a visit by the su-
preme secretary-treasur-
er of the Order of the
Royal Purple (OORP)
from Brandon, Mani-
toba.

Gladys Worthington
was in town on.the week-
end to help Elks Lodge
No. 425 and the local
OORP members cele-
brate the district conven-
tion held April 25, 26
and 27 in Terrace.

,The event marked

Worthington’s first visit
to the area. Her work on
a national level includes
putting into effect
policies set by the
various Elks member-

ships. There are 18,000

Canadian representatives

in the CORP and 306.

Elks lodges nationally.
Worthington’s work
involves ‘‘quite a bit of
travelling’’, but she is en-
couraged about the con-

Hearing-Speech
month saluted

TERRACE — May has
long been recognized as a
special month to em-
phasize the need for the
early identification of
the hearing impaired
child.

It is a time to
recognize that a hearing
impaired child is just a
normal child with a hear-
ing loss if identified ear-
ly, said Shirley Town-
send, Ladies of the
Royal Purple represen-
tative in Terrace.

The first three years
are critical in the
development of a child.
It is within these first
years that children
develop many of the
problem-solving
strategies which will dic-
tate how effectively they
will cope in their en-
vironment. It is within
these three years that the
child-parent relationship
is being established, and
it is the optimal time for

development of
language, Townsend ex-
plained.

' May has_ been
designated as a special
time to recognize the im-
portance of overcoming
the handicap of hearing
impairment which also
affects language
development. Overcom-
ing this handicap is a
responsibility shared by
the family, the
audiologist, the speech
language pathologist, the
teacher of the hearing
impaired, and the
medical community.

As part of a national
campaign to encourage
the sharing of this
responsibility, the Elks
and Royal Purple
throughout Canada have
designated the first
Saturday in May as Elks
Purple Cross Deaf
Detection Day and
Public Information Day.

Tag Day to be held

TERRACE — The Elks Purple Cross ‘‘Tag Day”
will take place in the community on Saturday, May 3.

The project will be sponsored by the local lodges of
the Elks 425 and Royal Purple 216. The fund-raising
event is being conducted to provide money for the
Elks’ Purple Cross Deaf Detection and Development

Fund.

‘

cepts Elks members are

‘directed towards. ‘‘I

believe they carry out
necessary work in the
community,’’ Worthing-
ton said. She pointed out

that “today’s economic

situation makes the work
of service volunteers very
important.”

Worthington said she
does not believe the con-
cept verbalized by some
people that one person
can’t do anything. ‘‘I say
that one person, interac-
ting with others, can
move mountains if
necessary.”’

She.said this is an ex-
citing time to be a
member of the OORP as
participants have to be
especially aware of the
value of volunteers. A
theme members have
been working on for the
past two years and will
be working on for the
next three years, is the
“challenge of change
and opportunity”.

Worthington explain-
ed that society is dif-
ferent than’ it was 50
years ago and Elks rep-
resentatives have to work
harder to bring people
into the organization as
there are more leisure ac-
tivities of interest to
adults. ‘‘We have to
compete in the market
place and niake the order
attractive enough to to-
day’s women,’’ Worth-

‘ington explained.

The membership has
been impressed with the
action and achievement
gained in the first two

*‘We tend to get compla-
cent if all goes too well,’’
Worthington noted. She
added that the various
organizations within the
Elks lodges realize if they
don’t keep working at in-
creasing the member-
ship, the numbers will
dwindle. There was a
lodge that had 48
members in 1979, but
that amount had dwin-
dled to 29 in 1984, Since
last year, 16 new people
have been initiated into
the particular organiza-
tion. Worthington
pointed out that all the
membership did was ad-
dress the fact they were
losing people and they
decided to do something
about it.

Now Elks representa-
tives are working to-
wards the importance of
leadership development
within each individual
lodge, Worthington said.

She has been involved
with the OORP for 10
years and has just ac-
cepted an appointment

term as secretary-
