ALPHA
Huron
hears
of blind
Blind people are not blessed
with a keener sense of hearing,
touch, or smell that the sighted.
This is, "An old wives.tale,” said
Wally Kennedy,District
Administrator of the CNIB,
London branch. He said the
reason for the belief is that blind
people are more dependent on
these senses-they try harder.
Wally, blind from birth,
addressed a recent meerting of
Alpha Huron held in
Holmesville School. He said the
blind have the same needs,
desires, and most capabilities of
those with vision. He was
especially proud of a young man,
who lately received an engineer's
degree at a local university, and is.
now employed with an
engineering firm.
The,CNIB helps all who come to
them seeking guidance or help.
To put their beliefs into practise,
they n ever hire a sighted
person, if a blind one can do the
job.
Wally's talk was preceded by a
short film strip depicting types of
blindness.
A display table held such
gadgets as a collapsible white
cane, dominoes, play ing cards,
talking calculator, and one of the
newer electronic devices, an
opticon, which allows the blind to
read a book with ordinary
printing.
Elaine Townshend thanked Mr.
Kennedy and presented him with
a $25 cheque forAe CNIB.
The next meeting of Alpha will
be held at Hohnesville School on
July 26. 'at 8 pitn. Everyone is
welcome. -
