Kinkead, chairman of the Goclerich-Huron Advisory Board to the Canadian National Insti- tute for the Blind. "Both pro vide a community service, Both remind citizens of the time of important events." Held annually by the CCE and the Canadian National In- stitute for the Blind, the week is strictly educational and has never been identified with fund raising. Mr. Kinkead explain,• ed that a casual suggestion made at the 1945 conference of the council inspired: the in- auguration of this national week, "Someone observed that few people knew that the white cane signified blindness," he said, "and someone else said we ought to have a week each year to let Canadians know ab- out it." The idea was quickly taken up and national White Cane Week came into being. The first few campaigns dealt with the problems of blindness and urged 'the sighted to assist the blind persons on the street. As time went on the communi- ty service side came into the picture and the blind of Cana- da urged the sighted to take care of their eyes, Themes such as ""Be Wise----Take Care. of Your Byes," "Prize Your Byes," and ether constructive pointers were Used to awaken in the public an appreciation of geod. vizion. This. year White Cane Week invites you to "Share Your Sight With The Sightless." Mr, Kinkead pointed out sev- eral ways of sharing your vis, ion., When you walk with Et blind person, describe the store windows, tell of any business location changes, and talk ab- out the unusual incidents that often unfold before your eyes. Offer to write letters for your blind neighbours or to read to them. Offer to provide 'traps., portation, To drive a sightless person to the dentist, to the shipping centre or a trip down town is a wonderful way to Share Your Sight.
