day before, but I still had fun.
Love Christopher.
Canadian Council of
Bind holds May meeting
The .Bluewater Canadian Council of the
Blind (CCB) Club held theirmeeting on May
20. Before the meeting, started, everyone
present sat down to a Kentucky Fried
Chicken supper. Tea and coffee was served
by the sorority ladies.
Len Schcoeter was asked to give a report
on *hat took place at the 42nd Conference
for the Blind held in Kitchener on May 5-7.
The speaker for the evening was Beecher
Menzies, who spoke of the need to have a,
will, followed by a short question period.
The CCB members are now selling tickets
for a draw in November - Prizes are a plant
stand, macrame purse, and a large ceramic
Christmas tree.
Members don't forget the picnic on June
11, at the Crystal Palace in Mitchell.
An article from the Kitchener -Waterloo
Record on May 7 may be of some interest to
potential employees and employers:
For eight long years, Pearl Chivers has
been turned down for jobs as a nursery
school teacher.

just that you're blind.
Like many job -seekers suffering from
blindness or visual impairment, the 29 -year-
old college graduate is frustrated with the
cool reception employers give her after they
discover her handicap.
"A lot of times,' they're really excited
about my skills," -the Sarnia woman said,
"but once they find out I can't see, they say
'No, no way."'
The unemployment problem among the
visually impaired is getting increasing at-
tention from the Canadian National In-
stitute for the Blind and The Canadian Coun-
cil of the Blind (CCB), holding its provincial
annual meeting in Kitchener this week.
The CCBicontends just. three per cent of
the blind' and visually impaired people in
Ontario are employed full-time — the worst
record of any province. Because most of the
visually handicapped are over retirement
age, figures are low everywhere, but in
British Columbia, for example, the employ-
ment rate is ten per cent — three times as
high as Ontario's.
Bill Dalgarno of Kitchener, president of
the CCB's Ontario division, said he knows of
eight or nine young people in the area who
are qualified, but still looking for work in a
particular field. About 18 others," he said,
are willing to work in any. field. He added
that the job -wait for young visually han-
dicctp lGu pvut1iG Ub ti o aveia5c auuut SIX
months, but that period is getting longer.
Delegates attending the Kitchener con-
ference point to a number of factors hinder-
ing job -search efforts: descrimination,
employers' fears about safety, expense and
job performance; and a lack of initiative on
the part of the government and the CNIB in
finding jobs and raising public awareness.
The visually impaired and the agencies
that serve them are beginning to focus on
jobs because of a growing desire to give the
visually handicapped the same oppor-
tunities as everyone else. They're also con-
cerned that the unemployment problem is
getting worse.
"With the automation and computeriza-
tion of industry, jobs are becoming less
available," said Phil Jackson, CCB infor-
mation officer.
Many jobs, traditionally filled by the
visually handicapped, slchas assembly and
switchboard operation re being taken over
by 1980s mechanizatio
The Canadian Council of the Blind, an
association of 86 clubs across Canada
4 (including ones in the Twin Cities, Guelph
and Cambridge), wants the ,CNIB to start
training visually handicapped for new
/ technologies.

A CNIB task force on employment recent-
ly prepared a paper advocating training
programs as well as expanding from four to
eight the number of fedetal employment of-
ficers seeking jobs for the handicapped. Th
new staff would serve the areas of the pro-
vince outside Toronto.
One of the functions would be to allay the
4 kinds of employer concerns Pearl Chivers
found are undermining her search for a job.
