The one- hour special, "SEASON TO SEASON: A Farmer's Story" profiles Ilderton, Ontario area farmer John Walls and his wife Mary, son Greg, and daughters Ellen and Joanne. It is fn owed by a half-hour special, "The Ministers Respond" hosted by TV -London's Ross Daily. Guests for the program include Federal Minister of Agriculture, Sohn Wise, Ontario Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell, farmer John Walls and Brian Farlinger of the Canadian Bankers' Association. The program explores John Walls' present situa- tion in relation to previous years on the farm. A year in the making, "SEASON TO SEASON: A Farmer's Story" was edited from footage of more than three dozen on - location shoots by TV -London camera crews. Cameraman Richard Johnstone is with John and hiS family as the chores are done, the books prepared, the crops planted and harvested. The camera follows him to buy seed and is there when a load of his cat- tle go to market. The camera is at the gate when a new load of calves arrive and is on - location when the fall fair rolls into town and Greg wins a calf scramble in a mud -bowl corral. .The camera also witnesses a poignant scene as John and his family help a neighbour load his belongings onto a truck for the move into town - the neighbour's farm has been repossessed by the bank. John feels it could never happen to him. The two specials, "SEASON TO SEASON: A Farmer's Story" and "The Ministers Res- pond" illustrate not only plummeting grain prices on world markets but a way of life in jeopardy. Seeing life without sight "There's more than one way to see." That's the theme of this year's national White Cane Week, February 1 to 7, a week of special events and demonstrations designed to increase the public's awareness of blind- ness and how it affects people's lives.. White Cane Week is sponsored by the two major organizations for and of blind and visually impaired individuals in Canada: The Canadian National Institute for the Blind ( CNIB) and the Canadian Council of the Blind ( CCB) • "This year's theme underlines the fact that individuals can function effectively - at a job, at home, in the arts - even without full sight," says Eculid Herie, the CNIB's Managing Director. "The visually impaired learn to use their other senses to compensate for lack of sight and, with the use of the innovative technical aids now available, are cabable of doing much more than. the general public is aware." Mrs. Gerry Braak, recently elected Na- tional President of the CCB, says that blind people want to be useful, contributing members of society, and that can only be achieved if the rest of society recognizes the capabilities of the blind. "White Cane Week is the opportunity for us to show the public what being blind is all about. Unless people understand what we are trying to achieve, as full an integration in society ( of blind people) as possible, we will never build bridges between the blind and the sighted," Mrs. Braak said. White Cane Week activities start February 1. The 50 CNIB offices and more than 90 CCB clubs across Canada are spon- soring a variety of events, including bowling matches, dances, demonstrations of technical aids, displays, and talks to school groups and service clubs. �QUEEN'S� sEAFn"`H OXE HITE ONLY WED.
