Patients in the hospital on Christmas morning were remembered with a gift, a rose in a vase and children received a small toy.

Mrs. J. McGregor presided over the business portion of the meeting and gave a poem, followed by a short prayer. The minutes were read by Mrs. C. Nelson and approved, and the treasurer's report was given by Mrs. G. Rath - well. The offering was received and dedicated and the roll call was then an- swered with the paying of fees and each member giving a New Year's resolution. Mrs,.

White Cane week to be marked here Most sighted Canadians admire the abilities of blind people but know very little about their methods of managing without vision. According to Gwen Watson president of the local Canadian Council of the Blind Club in Clinton, this lack of information creates two completely opposite pictures in the observer's eyes. On one hand the blind individual is wise, uncanny, average in- telligence and amazing; on the other hand he also is seen as completely helpless. "Blind people have no magic memories," the president said in a special interview for White Cane Week, from Feb._ 5 to 11, the annual education period of The Canadian Council of the Blind and The Canadian National Institute for the Blind. "They are not wiser than sighted people and they don't have as mystic inner light to make up for loss of sight." Mrs. Watson, a blind person herself, knows the extra effort she and her blind associates make to get around the handicap. They learn to handle the teapot and the hot stove without burning themselves. Braille labels distinguish canned goods in the kitchen. Braille markings disclose suitable matching colours in the wardrobe and in the record collection. They, are equally mobile with a dog guide or a white cane and by listening for the sound of the automobiles, they handle busy traffic with safety. By folding their bills in different ways, blind persons keep track of their money without mixing the twos and tens. "Blind people hate ad- vanced in the 60 years that the CNIB has been on the scene", the club officer ob- served, "and that ad- vancement has been the result of training, deter- mination and ability." She urged Canadians to discard any outmoded ideas and concepts that they may have about blindness and replace it with a positive and realistic attitude. She believes that the first step is contained in the White Cane Week slogan now being used - "PUT THE ACCENT ON ABILITY". "It's positive and realistic and mirrors the way that things are today."
