Focus on the blind
during White. Cane Wk.
This year is the 35th anni-
versary of White Cane Week,
an education week co-
sponsored by the Canadian
Council of the Blind and the
Canadian National Institute
for the Blind.
"CNIB is a volunteer
organization which con-
tinues to expand its services
to people across Canada who
are experiencing vision pro-
blems," said Robert F.
Mercer, managing director
for the CNIB.
"During White Cane Week
we would encourage you to
give special thought to blind-
ness prevention, learn more
about blindness and how you
can assist visually impaired
persons."
Take the opportunity to
find out more about CNIB
services and the many ways
a blind person can benefit
from them. You might also
like to help by devoting some
of your spare time to
volunteer work, such as
driving a blind person to en
evening's entertainment,
going shopping with a visual-
ly impaired person, or read-
ing important material to a
student, and getting really
involved with blind people.
Remember, too, the Eye
Bank of Canada. By "signing
a pledge card you can donate
your eyes and help some-
body to regain eyesight
through a corneal trans-
plant.
The slogan for this year's
White Cane Week is 'Blind-
ness Is Everyone's Concern'.
Make it yours.'
VON education
fund established.
A fund for continuing
education in the home care
of gravely ill patients is
being established to enable
Huron -Perth members of the
Victorian Order of Nurses
(VON) to maintain the
highest standards of care in
this field through access to
resource material and
continuing education.
The care of gravely or
terminally ill patients at
home is an important part of
the service provided by the
VON. While access to con-
tinuing education is essential
to maintain the highest
quality of care, there has
until recently been no
specific financial provision
for the nurses in learning
more about the care of such
patients.
The deficiency has been
remedied locally by the
establishment of a fund for
the Huron -Perth branch to
use for this purpose. The

with incurable illnesses, who
died at home While under the
care of the VON, have
donated about $5,000 to put
the furid on a firm financial
footing.
It is planned initially to
raise at least $10,000, which
will yield an annual income
of at least $1,000. This could
pay for two nurses to attend
a conference or course.
Provision was made for
two nurses " to attend a
conference on terminal care
last year, and the exercise
was reported to have been
extremely successful and
rewarding.

Ice storms, high winds or fallen tree
limbs can bring hydro lines down. And even a
fallen wire that seems dead can be dangerous..
So don't go near the wires, warn others
not to and report the fallen wires to your local
hydro or the police as soon as possible.
If a line falls across your vehicle, stay
inside until a hydro crew removes •
the line, If there's a live power line
