Wheeler, district field secretary for The Canad- ian National Institute for the Blind. In an interview on White Cane Week, sponsored by his organization and The Can- adian Council of the Blind, he reminded readers that eye ac- cidents are high on the list of the causes of blindness and spoil perfect vision for hundreds of children every year. He explained that toys, like fireworks and bows and arrows, frequently send a youngster to the hospital with a damaged eye. He told two true incidents that happened to small boys. The lads were playing cops and robbers with the neighbourhood gang and a general free-for-all was taking place. A friendly enemy threw a stone. One youngster was wearing glasses. The other was not. When the stone struck the glasses, it knocked the frames hard against the lad's eyes but the glasses Mr, and Mrs. Ed Killinger of Clifford visited with Mr, and Mrs. Delmar Diekert on Sun- day.

In the other case, the stone struck the youngster's naked eye and damaged the sight beyond restoration. Sym- pathetic causes affected his second eye and the boy became totally blind within a year. Mr. Wheeler urged parents to consider safety lenses for children who need glasses and to teach the boys and girls to appreciate the importance of seeing. "If they realize that once injured an eye cannot be replaced, they will be more careful with BB guns and air rifles. He reminded us that one way to show appreciation of our eye- sight is to assist our blind neigh- bors at street crossings or by serving as a volunteer for a CNIB centre. "When you share your sight," said Mr. Wheeler, "you will understand better the importance of taking care of your eyes -- one pair for a life- time."
