The 4th session of the 27th Ontario Legislature opened on Tuesday, January 25th with all the pomp and pageantry usually accorded to the occasion. As is always the case the Speech from the Throne was read by the Lieutenant-Governor, in this case Earl Rowe. A few of the highlights in the speech were the establish- ment of a provincial crop in- surance program in co-opera- tion with Ottawa. Presumably this will cover the crop year of 1966. The Ontario Development Agency will be expanded into a new Crown Corporation to pro- vide capital financing for small business. Legislation will pro- vide for government approval, licensing and control of all nursing homes in Ontario to achieve uniformity in standards and safety. The revised report from an independent redistribution com- mission which redrew the pro- vince's electoral boundaries will be tabled in the House this session. Recommendations contained A.

E, F. WHEELER Dist. Field Sec. , CNIB "We live in the age of vis- ion," said Mrs. J. T. Patter- son, president of the Canadian Council of the Blind, in a spe- cial White Cane Week inter- view. "Today, more than at any time in history, working conditions demand good sight. We depend on our eyes for driving, for watching television and for reading, which librar- ies report increases each year." Because good sight is so es- sential to modern living, the CCB and The Canadian Na- tional Institute for the Blind, who sponsor White Cane Week, are dedicating this year's pro- gram to sight preservation and prevention of blindness. There is good reason for their choice. In this day where vision is so necessary, blindness is on the increase. According to a three- year study recently released by CNIB, the ratio is 132 blind persons to 100,000 population as compared with 105 blind persons per 100, 000 in 1946. Doctors state that half the blindness in Canada could be prevented if people would seek eye care at the first sign of trouble. In addition, thou- sands suffer eye accidents need- lessly each year. The Work- men's Compensation Boards of Canada report on-the-job in- juries totalling between 300, - 000 and 400, 000 every year. This record does not include farm, household or recreation accidents. "Needless blindness and un- necessary eye injuries indicate that seeing Canadians should be more alert to the impor- tance of their own sight, "Mrs. Patterson, who is blind herself, AL HAFERMEHL SKIPS WINNING RINK AT 'SPIEL Mr. and Mrs. Al Hafermehl spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tschirhart at Caledonia.

Roe Rink Takes Hanna Trophy A mixed bonspiel for the Hanna Trophy was held at the curling rink on Saturday. The winner of the 9 o'clock draw and the trophy was a local rink skipped by Murray Rae, with Mrs. M. Rae lead, Tom Mc- Donald of Brussels second and Mrs. Tom McDonald, vice. Second in the 9 o'clock draw was a Southampton rink skip- ped by Dr. Donald Mercer, third Jim Coultes of Wingham, and consolation, Lorne Edwards of Teeswater. The 11 o'clock draw was won by a Palmerston rink skip- ped by Lorne Moore; second, Glen Manley of Grand Bend; third Malcolm MacKay of Wingham, and consolation, Ro- bert McKague of Teeswater. BELGRA VE Mrs. Herb Wheeler visited last week with Mr. and Mrs. Goldie Wheeler and family of London. Mrs. Annie Coultes is vaca- tioning for two months in Flori- da. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Mar- shall and family of London visit- ed with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Cook and while here visited with Mr. Jack Cook who is a patient in the Wing- ham and District Hospital, Mrs. Vera McCrea returned home on Sunday after being a patient in Toronto General Hos- pital and Clinton Public Hospi- tal since October 30, when she fractured her hip. Mrs. Ralph McCrea, Blyth, visited on Sunday with her mother, Mrs. Winnie Smith and Mrs, Julia McNall. emphasized, She declared that people give more thought to the care of their cars than to the care of their eyes, She gave a few suggestions for pro- tecting your vision. See your eye doctor at the first sign of trouble. If he prescribes glass- es, wear them. When watch- ing television, keep the room lighted to avoid sharp contrast - it may cause strain. If you work in industry, protect your eyes by wearing safety glasses, and most important of all have a routine eye examination every 2 to 3 years. The pain you will save yourself and your family is inestimable. "These simple precautions are effective in sight protec- tion," Mrs. Patterson pointed out. "Remember, they are your eyes - one pair for a life- time."

Mr. Conron was compliment ed on the fine way in which he has been explaining the basic principles of life insurance to the public by his brief inter- views over CKNX television.

It was strongly recommended that this matter be presented at the annual meet. ing of the Life Underwriter's Association of Canada at Tor- onto, by the local representa- tive, Gordon Raeburn and Reg- ional Vice President James Dewar.
