The going was not always easy, For organist and choir mo- thers, too, With light-hearted complaint, Mr. Meally Made things tough for you. Your smile and words of en- couragement, Mrs. Meally, were always welcome, too, We loved to have you in our choir. Without you what shall we do? Things you both have taught us Will last our whole lives through. We are indeed much richer For having been friends with you. We hope you'll always remem- ber us As we'll certainly remem- ber you. May your future be filled with happiness And may God Bless You. Joyce Nethery then present- ed Rev.

Lend Your Good Vision to The White Cane Carrier "The white cane has many meanings," said E.F. Wheeler, Field Secretary, The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, as he discussed the education period, White Cane Week. Jointly sponsored by CNIB and The Canadian Council of the Blind, the week this year re- commends that you 'Let the White Cane Introduce Us'. To the pedestrian, the white cane means an invitation to offer a guiding hand or a friend- ly word. "Sometimes just the description of what is taking place before your eyes can do wonders for the blind," said the CNIB worker. "It does not have to be something exciting, just a description of the store fronts or an eye-catching snow- man on somebody's lawn." To the shopper, a white cane is the sign that its carrier might like a little assistance with choosing her groceries."Some blind people see a little," the Field Secretary pointed out, "but not enough to distinguish labels and prices in the super- market." To the newly blind, the white cane means one of the DISCONTINUELINE FEATURING Kelly CelebDrity RS.

WINGHAIM great challenges of his handi- cap. Just learning to use it is often an ordeal. "Even to feel your way down your own front walk is sometimes a real mile- stone," the speaker said. He explained how the in- structor teaches the skill of white cane travel. "He points out the texture of sidewalks, grass, pavements and other surfaces that tell their own story. Stores with character- istic aromas prove wonderful landmarks. A tobacco shop, a fruit store, a bakery and many more, literally radiate signals that guide the blind person a- long the busy street." "Training goes a long way, but when you give a little friendly guidance, you put the icing on the cake. So, next time you meet a blind person, let the white cane introduce you. Lend your good vision and a pleasant word". Mrs. Dyer Was Former Resident Mrs. William R. Dyer, 84, died in the Dearness Home in London.
