CNIB fielcirnan visits Wingham By Margaret Nichol What Canada's Centennial means to me BY CfARMAN HAMILTON 12B On Wednesday of last week, the students of Wingham Dist - 'jet High School were unexpect- edly called into the auditorium shortly after nine WcIpek, After it was filled. Me. Madill intro- duced Mr. Clements, the dist- rict field secretary for the CN IB. His speech centred on the very serious problem of blind- ness. He told the students that in early times blind people were put to death or kept imprisoned in camps because they were supposed to be highly danger- ous. Canada was slow in the help for the blind, but finally in the mid 1800's schools were set up for blind children, Un- fortunately these were supervis- ed by the Department of Asy- lums and Penitentiaries. The adults were forced to calmly twiddle their thumbs while sit- ting on their porches. The CNIB originated just af- ter World War I and continues its prominent work today. The CNIB has become such a noted organization that many foreign countries ask for its help, Mr. Clements had met men from Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Mexico, This group helps find employment for blind people, create schools to educate both the young and old blind persons, and they help the blind with their problems in adjusting to their new handicap, Mr. Clements then entered into the area of prevention of blindness. He emphasized that more than half of the cases of blindness could have been pre- vented. One cause of blindness which is senseless and stupid is the mishandling of fireworks. It may seem funny to the boys to scare girls with firecrackers, but just one slip and someone could become permanently blind. Even small things like paper clips, chalk and spitballs are potential agents of blind- ness. Another major cause of blindness results from careless hunting accidents. He brought to our attention that during the year 1966, 17, - 000 people were blinded in the U.S. The last words of Mr. Clements sum up his feelings; BE WISE SAVE YOUR EYES. • Teen Topics INTERVIEWER DAVID FIELD 11B WENDY IMAM) 120 For several weeks the girls and boys badminton teams have been working diligently prepar- ing for their respective tourna- ments; the junior tournament to be held Thursday, April 27 and the senior tournament, Satur. day, April 29 in Clinton. Walkerton and Kincardine high schools came to Wingham on Thursday for a small tourna- ment. The junior girls' dou- bles won both their matches, while the senior girls' doubles ran into some tough competi- tion and managed to win one match.. Junior girls' singles won two matches and lost one. Senior girls' singles won one match and tied the other, The track and field team is busy practising for their meet to be held May 9. Each night they gather at the track and try to break former records. One of Wingham District High School's projects for 196'7 is to win the Huron-Perth Track and Field meet so come on team, let's try and please Mr. Campbell! All girls who signed up for House League table tennis are to start games on Monday. It looks like the boys' House League seat soccer is going to be a thrilling sport for specta- tors and players alike as it be- gins its schedule in the near fu- ture. Last Thursday at W.D.H.S. the badminton teams played against other teams from Kin- cardine and Walkerton. No points were kept as it was just a match to get in practice for the Huron-Perth finals. The Wing- ham teams did fairly well as they put up good matches for the audience. In the senior boys game Bruce Boyd had no trouble in his first game but in the second game against Kincardine he lost to a tough opponent. In the mix- ed, Doug Mowbray and Marlene Wadel represented Wingham and in the boys' doubles, Brian Wal- den and Jamie Douglas helped to make the events more inter- esting. Other players included Carman Hamilton, Ken Skim, Barrie Conron, Dave Gowing, Paul Tiffin, In the junior boys, George Valiance played singles, along with Gary Bauer, Bill Skinn and Murray MacDonald played doubles with Monty Templeman and Julie Adams taking the mixed game. Other players on the junior team are Brad Elliott, Dave Ohm and Dale Wardley. We wish the teams the best of luck for the Huron-Perth Championship in Clinton and with more games like Thurs- day's they should have a good chance of taking the crown. QUESTION: "What type of girls to you prefer?" 0-0-0 it, I admit, but I wonder if patriotism inspired it or the thought of the royalties such a song would bring in. "Proud and free" it says. What are we proud of? Are we proud that Canada has been able to survive for over a hund- red years? Actually it's quite an accomplishment. But Ameri- ca did it. She's free too. She managed to rebel and start out on her own. She doesn't salute a queen which lives across the ocean. Canada does this but I think we are changing our ways. We have a flag of our own and "0 Canada" is played in the schools now instead of "God Save Our Queen". This is pro- gress. If one thought of it there are a bountiful number of things in Canada for which we can be proud, But it took a Centen- nial Year to make us think, If all of a sudden, in 1950 some- one had stood up and cried how proud of Canada he was people would have doubted his sanity. But now in 1967 it is attributed to profound patriotism and is cheered. Why couldn't those children have run through woods before and sang their praises to our country? That is what is wrong with this Centennial Year. It's a farce. Probably Canad- ians are proud of Canada, it's a wonderful land to live in, but they are exhibiting their pride under the wrong conditions. So if I stand up and sing praises to my native land it will be because I want to and be- cause something inside me is bursting to be released, not be- cause it's the thing to do and the time to do it. Happy Birth- day Canada, and I sincerely hope that your people will ap- preciate you in coming years and not just on your one hund- redth anniversary. You are worthy of praises and salutes but you deserve them at any time, any year, not just in this year, 19(17, the Centennial Year of your birth. jects are to paint the house or buy that new refrigerator they have been needing. These are certainly more practical but hardly bursting with patriotism, Some though are planning to bring a doctor to a town where there has been a lack of medi- cal or dental care for many years. This is where the gov- ernment grants come in. Suit- able projects, supposedly will he aided by grants of money from the government, Appar- ently the government doesn't consider a medical-dental cen- tre to be a fitting project be- cause no grant was given to this industrious town. So they went ahead and did it without the government's grant. This is a useful and very needed project. Of course the government con- sidered a handstand for a resort area a very worthy project and handed over some financial aid. The government seems to have a strange sense of values. The television widely adver- tises Centennial Year. Excel- lent documentaries, which few watch, are televised, in living color, instead of the entertain- ing shows which one ordinarily watches. A group of delightful children go skipping through the woods singing the Centennial Song. Nobody knows they are being highly paid to do it of course, Do you think they'd be doing it any other rime? I doubt it. The tune they chant has a very pleasing ring about "0 Canada, our home and native land" is the opening line in the anthem of this land we live in, Well I live here in Canada, and so do millions of others. Some of them are very excited about the hundredth an- niversary of Confederation, some show an appalling apathy. Ever since January the first I have been searching for the an- swer to my dilemma. I suppose it has been my Centennial pro- ject. Somehow I don't seem to be feeling all the patriotic surges of emotion that are ex- pected of me when I see the flag or hear "The Maple Leaf Forever". Am I abnormal'? What are my real opinions on the birthday of the country where I was born': What about all these projects that are be- ing carried one Seine eager group of people are going on a canoe trip along the original course taken by some famous hero in a history text. That's very brave. Of course it never occurred to them that they might be killed. Af- ter all rapids are very danger- ous. I don 't suppose they would have undertaken this task any other time but suddenly the urge to explore and play the game of being heros has engulf- ed them, Not me! If I have a Centennial project it will be one which will do me and oth- ers good, not harm.

The course is completed in Ai). til, The students have the op- portunity to live in or out of residence and the classes begin at 5:15 arid end at 4130.
