STRESS .IS ON SAVING.. SIGHT
Canadians,; concerned with good eye
sight, have a share -in -White. Cane::_ Week
now taking place;' • across Canada, which
has
asits theme "Prevention ' of Blind-
,
ness."• Usually devotedto the , problems
of blindness, the " w.eek.this year is • ded-
icated. to good .•, visual. health, • "People
take ' more care of 'their car than of their
one pair ' of . -eyes", says A. N. Magill,
Managing Director, The, Canadian National
Institute for the : Blind.
Each year more thlin 2,000 Can-
adians lose their sight. According .to..doc-•
tors 50% is needless' blindness due to
failure . on .' the , part of the persona to
catch the disease in the early stages. This
means that an appreciation of: good vis-
ual health and better eye . care could "save
sight . for hundreds.
A few suggestions for preserving good
• vision are:. When ' reading, use 100-150
watt bulbs . and make sure the light falls
over your: shoulder to eliminate ..shadow
or . glare. Don't watch television in a com-
,pletely , dark room: Too much contrast
between-' light from the screen and , the
rest of : the room may cause eye fatigue.
Make sure children with crossed eyes get,
proper medical treatment. ' They will not
grow out of .;their squint
1963 has been described, as the year
visual health, ..comes into its own. , The
World•. Health Organization, : a United Na.,
tions Service, has dedicated `its world-wide
programme to prevention of blindness:. In
109 ` countries special ` research projects,
have been set in motion to .coznbat eye
diseases. Others are attempting to arouse'
in the public an . awarenessof the : impor-
tance of good :' sight and the common-
sense practice :' of care of the: eyes.

County` Reserve �.
Fund Advocated.
Bruce County Council, ` on
the final day of the Januairy
Session at Walkerton, was asked
to consider setting Up a special
reserve fund of : about $10,000 a
year.: Thomas H.. Alton, county
treasurer, said''iftterest :rates: on
$1,189,700 borrowed last year
to'st the ' county ' ,over $31;144.
This could be. eliminated 'in the
future if money were set aside
annually; He' estimated that
'within :10; years it would not be
necessary . to ' ;borrow money to
finance county operations if
council . approved his plan.
• County rates are not received
until' Dec'ember 20, and,borrowing
commences in January to finance
.projects . untsl• taxes awe 'collected,
Mr.. Alton said, A reserve fund
would provide the capital , for"
financing operationspending ,,the
collecting of tax revenue, and' the
interest Would, hie saved, ,due to
borrowing being unnecessary..
He also recommended that all
