Week, Feb. 511
"White Cane Week is like a
town clock," observed Mr. J. H.
. askis '.R a O..t :the ocje-.
rich=Huron Advisory Board to
the,:,c, k , .s i t Iukta%
for• the Blind.- .`,'Both provide a
community service. Both re-
mind citizens of the ' time of
important events." Held an-
nually by the CCB and The Can-
adian National Institute for the
Blind, the week is strictly' edu-
cational and has never been
identified with fund raising.
Mr. Kinkead explained that a
casual suggestion made at the
1945 conference of the Council
inspired the inauguration of this
national week. "Someone ob-
served that few people knew
that the, white cane signified
blindness," he said, "arid some-
one else said we ought to have
a . week each year to let Can-
adians know about it." The idea
was quickly taken up and na-
tional White Cane Week came
into being. This 'year" national
White Cane Week is from Feb.
ruary 5th to 11th.
