London were her friends Lana Henderson Kim Dore, lind organization will mark jubilee With the Diamond Jubilee of The Canadian National Institute for the Blind com­ ing up next month, officials across the country are busy gathering together the highlights of CNIB’s sixty years of service. “In that period, blind per­ sons have advanced far more than in the past two centuries of Canada's history,” Explained R.W. Kennedy, local District Ad­ ministrator, CNIB. In an interview for White CaneWeek.the annual educa­ tion period sponsored by his organization and The Cana­ dian Council of the Blind, Mr. Kennedy told how blind and visually impaired per­ sons have become active members of their com­ munities through special training in the skills of in­ dependence, specially designed aids such as the Talking Calculator and CNIB’s development of more than 40 different careers. “Only one area has not kept pace with the passing years — the attitude of their sighted contemporaries. People still hand money to blind pedestrians when they pass on the street or insist on paying the bill in restaurant, even though the blind person is a stranger. Such actions only embarrass the blind person,” Mr. Kennedy said. When speaking to a blind person Mr. Kennedy said that there is no need to shy away from words like ‘look’, ‘see’, and ‘read’, which only serves to embarrass both in dividuals. “I realize vision is such an absorbing power that most people cannot understand how anyone operates without it,” he said, “but rehabilitation, higher educa­ tion, information in Braille and tape, can and do help visually impaired people take their rightful place in today’s society.” That is why this White Cane Week, February 5-11, CNIB and CCB are focussing on false attitudes towards blindness. He recommended a more positive point of view when dealing with blind persons. CNIB can supply information which could be helpful in develop­ ing a positive attitude. The White Cane Week slogan contains the key — “PUT THE ACCENT ABILITY”. POKER RUN REGISTRATION — About 130 snowmobile enthusiasts took part in Saturday's poker run at the Pineridge Chalet.

He and Councillors Lossy Fuller and Steve Pfaff op­ posed the donation. “We're obligated to sup­ port rural people." suggested - Councillor- Ted Wright, who said he was dis­ appointed that council didn’t give to some of the charities requesting aid. Exeter council decided not to concur with a resolution from Grey county calling for restructuring of the county boards of education. The resolution said the boards should be made more responsive to people, suggesting this was not the case at present. It was also noted in the resolution that the boards are top heavy with ad­ ministration and the wages paid to those administrators does not reflect community levels of pay. “They don’t say what they'd like to see in its place.” commented Coun­ cillor Ken Ottewell in sup­ porting a suggestion the resolution be filed.
