cording to Mrs. J. T. Patterson,
National President, the Canadian
Council of the Blind, the new
ratio is due to more accurate
reporting through computerized
programming and advances in the
science of eye medicine.
In a special interview
for White Cane Week, sponsored
by the CCB and The Canadian
National Institute4or the Blind,
Mrs. Patterson, totally blind her-
self, showed her concern for
partially sighted Canadians "who
have trouble reading menus, find-
ing number's on a street and
reading small print. They are
often too shy to ask for help
and strangers don't realize they
need it."
Some see with less than half
an eye, the other part being
blocked off, while, others have an
opaque area in the centre of
their eye and must-look around
it. Some people can -read a sign
across the street and bang into
a . garbage can directly in front
of them. On a cloudy day the
traffic lights glow brightly and
some partially sighted people
cross the street without any
trouble. On a sunny day the
same person can scarcely see

pollution alone probably does not
produce mental illness, the con.
tinual bombardment of noise on
an already depressed person can-
not be helpful. A 1969 study in
England illustrates this point,

living' adjacent to London's
Heathrow Airport with others
living in a quieter environment

in the noisy environment there

of admission to mental hospitals,

Someone with heavy glasses
may be partially sighted and need
visual help. They do not always
carry a white can epven though

"Protect your sight," Mrs.
Patterson added, quoting the
thought for 1973 White Cane '
Week. "Glaucoma still strikes ;
without pain in people over 30,,
but can be arrested if diagnosed k,
early. Cataracts are being re-
moved most successfully now and
the Eye Bank-is providing fresh
material for sight restoring sur-
gery"
"Always remember this,"
she said, "your eyes must last
a lifetime. Look out for your
eyes because they look out for
you!"
