Farmer's story
debuts on CFPL
On Thursday, January 29 at 7:30 p.m., TV -
London will air a program which examines
the plight of Canadian farmers. 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.
