—from others who cannot see—how to adapt themselves to a
world of permanent darkness. They need a place to learn
handicrafts and other skills—and a place where they can work,
in surroundings suited to their conditions, at sonic of those
things that blind people can do effectively, and with a profit
to themselves, They need a plaCe where those who are both
blind and homeless can live and be cared for, in proper sur-
roundings, Finally, they need a place where they can gather
for recreation,
$150,000 must be raised in Western Ontario toward the cost
of the building, which will be supplemented V funds front
