"Someone observed that a 'few people knew that the white cane signified blindness," he said, "and someone else said we ought to have a week e.',eh year to let Canadians know about it." The idea was quickly taken up and national White Cane Week came into being. The first few campaigns dealt with the problems of blindness and urged the sighted to assist blind persons on the street. As time went on the community ser- vice side ensue into the picture and the blind of Canada arced the sighted to take care of their eyes Themes Such as "Be Wise—Take Care of Your Eyes," "Prize Voile Eyes," and other constructive point- ers were used to awaken in the public an appreciation of aped vision. This year White Cane Week Invites you to "Phare Your Sight with the Sightless," Mr. Kinkead pointed out several ways of sharing your vision, When Yeti walk with a blind person, describe the store windows, tell of any business location ehttegee. and talk •about the unusual incidents. that often unfold hereto you eyes, Offer to Write letters for your blind neighbours or to read to them.
