Just follow this signpost to proper protection; Look ahead . • plan ahead . . . insure now. Get the facts now. Highways Minister C. S. MacNaughton, Huron MPP, will assist Prime Minister John Robarts in the opening of the $20 million Garden City Skyway at St. Catharines tomorrow, Oct. 18. The benefit to motorists of this unique structure is graphically shown in this aerial photo. Ship, which easily clears the skyway, is about to pass between the raised sections of the bascule bridge which, up until now, has carried traffic on both the QEW and No. 8 across the Welland Canal. Unusual width of the skyway deck provides an 80-foot roadway, allowing three lanes in each direction, divided by a six-foot, raised median. The structure represents a"first" in new construction techniques for the department of highways, in that this is the first time the driving surface of a long-span struc- ture has been paved with concrete. --Photo by Department of Highways, Ont. "The work of the blind home teacher in this area is remark- able," said Mrs. M. J. Bell, secretary of the Huron County Advisory Board to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. "I think of her as the unsung hero of rehabilitation". A blind person herself, the teacher is a source of great encouragement to the n e wl y blind, who usually feel that the joys of living and earning are a thing of the past. When a teacher puts a white cane into the hand of a new client for the first time and says, "Let's try the front walk," she knows that fear, frustration, in- feriority and a desire to avoid people will all be against her. Persuasive encouragement us- ually reaches the pupil and be- fore long the teacher and trainee are on their way. It is not as easy as it sounds," the Sec- retary said, "most people re- quire as many as four lessons service by supporting the annual appeal for funds of the CNIB. A donation from you will provide training that substitutes in some small way for the precious gift of sight." The volunteer campaign chairman for this area is Mr. S. B. Taylor, Exeter. before they will try their own front walk alone." To restore a blind mother to her place as queen of the house- hold takes much longer. The teacher has many skills that help. She shows the pupil how to use the iron without being burned, recommends oven mitts to avoid the dangers of the oven and suggests a Braille timer for use when cooking. Such helps and the advice of the teacher bring about some indescribable changes in ablind person's life. Mrs. Bell told of one woman who did nothing all day but walk around her dining room table. Another had re- moved all the furniture from the main floor to avoid bumping into it. CNIB teachers restored both women to normal living. "A home teacher is regularly at work right here in this area," the secretary said. "You share in providing this constructive M. J. Geiser W. H. Hodgson J. A. Kneale Centralia area man faces trial on fraud Skate Exchange Jack Dye, RR 2 Centralia, was ordered to trial on a charge of fraud in connection with a roofing job at the home of 82- year-old Albert Stubbs of Mosa Township, last month. Dye is charged specifically with defrauding Mr. Stubbs of property two cheques valued at $790 -- between Sept. 1 and 7. He was ordered to trial after a two-day preliminary hearing before County Magistrate G. G. Marhsman, QC, who later ex- tended bail of $2,000 to the trial date. Mr. Stubbs, who said he could not read or write, told court Dye indicated he could shingle the roof and repair the chimney of his home for $900, and that Dye had seen his pass-book showing $944.26 in an area bank. Glencoe detachment provin- cial Constable Geoffrey Cooper said he visited the Stubbs home on a complaint Sept. 7 and, after questioning Dye, who ar- rived later in a 1963 model car, arrested the man inside the home. Last week, Frederick Ber- dan, of Glencoe, testified a single tile at the top of the If last year's skates are too small don't despair. Instead bring them to Smyths and trade them on a new pair by "BAUER" chimney on the home was the only lining he found during a roof inspection directed by police, and added that this "would do no good at all," He said he found about two feet of new chimney had been erected and the lining consisted of a tile with its base resting on four spikes driven through the mortar near the top of the chimney. The type of lining, he said, would allow smoke and moisture to move between the tile and bricks. He said labor and ma- terial for the work he had seen would cost about $50. London defence lawyer Clay- ton Fee argued that, as the work was never allowed to be completed, the entire picture of costs could not be determined and the Crown could not base fraud on just part of the figures which seemed to be out of line. Figures covering other work, he said, were not available, and it could have been that these would have evened out the trans- action to a point where nothing would have been lost to the complainant. Crown Attorney C. C. Sav- age, QC, acted for the Crown. "We could cut down on the grocery bill by eating out more." Sunday visitors with.
