Working in every province of Canada,these placement officers, blind themselves, secured jobs for more than 2,000 persons. I n an interview for White Cane Week, a public education blitz sponsored by The Candian Council of the Blind and the CNIB, the local club leader said, -"The employment officers turn liabili- ties into assets and put their proteges in tax-paying brackets instead of welfare line-ups." "Well-trained in placement skills, the employment officer knows the capacity of his blind applicant. With a sight handi- cap himself, he grasps the limit- ations of blindness and does not expect a client to work in a visual way. When he recommends someone for a job, tie knows the person can do it by touch," the club president said. Also a graduate of the college of hard knocks, the placement person is HOWICK LIONS BINGO WINNERS FridayiJan. 28, 1972. REGULAR GAMES. 1. Mrs. Hamilton, Lucknow; Mrs. Hoffle, Mildmay; 2.

"This new system applies to Ontario winter wheat, as well as prairie spring wheat," Mil said, He said that the federation of agriculture - at both provincial and federal levels - had worked hard to influence the government on this. "It seems just that pro- ducers get a fair return for wheat sold inside Canada. The price on foreign markets isn't always too realistic." Ontario producers are pre- sently 'getting at least $1.82 a bushel. The new two-price system means that they will re- ceive $3.00 a bushel for wheat sold in Canada for human con- sumption. But this doesn't mean Ontario producers should in- crease production. If they do, they'll just reduce their poqled share of the domestic market. "With a better price for their wheat, western farmers will have less pressure to diversify into livestock, Mr. Hill said. "This should benefit eastern livestock producers too." f. 1 used to meeting the objections of plant managers. Not under- standing the handicap, pros- pective employers usually think the worker will hurt himself. Statistics show a high percentage of freedom from accidents, and a special Workmen's Compensat- ion Act in most provinces pro- vids the necessary protection. News of Huronview Sunday's regular chapel service was supplemented this week by a sing song Sunday evening presented by the Christian Reform Young People under the leadership of Dick Reorcia. The regular Monday afternoon old tyme music session was held with the accompaniment provided .by Norman Speir, Mrs. Mary Ta.ylor'and Miss Della Peart, On Wednesday the Kinnettes were on hand to serve tea to the residents and sing a few songs after the luncheon. During the program a wheelchair was presented to the home by the Kinnettes. Mr. Archibald accepted it and thanked the ladies on behalf of the residents. Thursday's Family Night program presented by Jim Laurie of Biyth was a very great success as far as the 120 residents in attendance were concerned. Being Bobby Burns Night the program was, of course, Scottish. The show began with Mrs. Adela.ine Campbell and Mr. Laurie singing two duets, "Flow Gently Sweet Afton" and "When You and I Were YoungMaggie". The Wharton Family namely, Hugh and James Wharton, Sylvia and Sherrie Bromer, Played a medley of numbers including, "You Take the Highroad", "Buffalo Gal" and "Put on Your Old Grey Bonnett". James then sang "Nobody's. Child" and following this James and Sherri sang the French song "Dominique". Avon Toll was the next performer and she very capably danced the Highland Fling. Angela Duttmanonher accordian played "Popcorn Polka" and "Grand old Medley". Mrs. Adeline Campbell returned this time by herself to sing "Mary Argyle", and "I'll Take You Home Kathleen". Bill Hicks treated us to three saxophone solos, "peek-a- boo", "The Waltz You Saved For Me" and "You're the Only Star in My Blue Heaven". Jim Laurie did two numbers which one could probably hear in a Scottish pub. The songs were "She's Ma Daisy" and "She's the LaSs for Me." The Whartons gave an encore performance consisting, of "Life is Like a Mountain Railway", "Telephone To Glory" and "Anchor in Jesus". Jim Laurie got back to the lighter side again when he sang "I Love a Lassie" and "Stop your Tickling, Jack", The famous Scottish sword dance -was next with Avon Tell the entertainer. Accordian music by Angela Duttman once again filled the auditorium and she played "Scotland the Brave", and "Spanish Eyes". Bill Hicks and his saxaphone returned to provide us with "Easter Parade", "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise" and "Now is the Hour". One person not mentioned yet who did a very capable job was Mrs. Grace Brown who was the pianist throughout the program. The evening was brought to an end in a very appropriate and practical manner by the joining of hands and the singing of "Auld Lang Syne".
