Stuart Henry, Belgrave
Blind Veteran, Operates
Poultry Farm By Himself
Since a German 12 -centimetre
mortar bomb landed near him at
Hill 67, two miles south of Caen,
July 21. 1944, Stuart Henry of Bel -
grave .has seen nothing. The blast
of the mortar bomb threw him to
the ground, spewed earth and blast
particles into his eyes ,and since
then he has been totally blind.
Completely re.ilabilleeted, Mr.
Henry has learned in little more
than a. year the new techniques re -
:mired to op 1:a a poultry bus-
iness. Beginning wih a flock of
100 white Leghorn nems, and rnn-
centrating ou egg production, he

A private in a rifle section of the
Essex Scottish, Mr. Berry landed
in France early in July, and had 10
days in action before being wound-

move forward to support the Fusi-
liars de Mont Royal in an attack

discharge became effective on
Match 1,
Atter ewe 'Me planning his
venture Into poultry raising, he
bought his first 100 hens Aug. 15
of this year, and installed them in
colony houses which the had. ban -
self helped design and equip, so
that he knew every inch of the
buildings and tools welt which he
would be working.
Three Acres of Land
Mr Haney is now leasing three
acres of land, on welch are his
Iterate, and the buildings oud rang
of the chicken ra:''. leis capital
investment carne from lits war
service gratuity and rehabilitation
credit, and he has still unspent a
part of the. resist He dill un'- take
advantage of the provls'.'•ne of the
Veterans Land Act, preferring to
begin slowly and surely, and avoid
a load of debt, His work up to date
with 100 hens, he regards as pre-
paration aul ears a., l: a ror pro-
duction or i larg :r scale; present
plans are to increase his flock soon
to 300 hens, and :o bra'.tea out into
breediu gas: well •a eeg rrro.inttt• 11.
As a re., 11t (.2 e n'.tltlic subscrip-
tion list opened in :the Wingham-
Belgrave area some months ago a
land of 51,379 is now available 2 tr
the states purpose of buying a
home for Mr, Henry. 'With this, as
with the development of his bus-
iness. he has preferred not to move
too hastily; the fund has not yet
been used, and is being held in
readiness for the moment when he
finds a suitable opportunity to pur-
chase.
With the assistance of guide
wires whirh he has strung from
house to pump, and from pump to
chicken pene, Mr. Henry can move
unbesitattngly around his proper-
ty, and can do all his own work.
When he goes off his own three
acres, his wire or one nt his talo
children useelly goes with him, but
he expects that in course• of time he
will be able to move unaided
around the village of Beigrave.
Soon Learned To Type
In the building where his flock is
now houses for the winter, he has
arranged tl e windows to Binge at
the top, with the height planned so
that they can be iaste'ied by hooks
from the ceiling, and give hint an
Inc hclearance above his own
height, thus, with the windows
open, he can still move about the
building without fear of striking
his bead, The feeding, nesting, and
pearching arrangements are de-
signed so thathe can look after the
hens and clean out the henhouse by
moving from one know;, point to
another in a pre -planned succes-
-
sion.
Apart from the work directly
connected with looking attar poul-
try Mr. Beery has learned to use a
typewriter, and, with the aid ot a
Braille watch to tell 'ice. Never
having used a typewriter in the
years when be had his s'gh;, he
worked intensively for two weeks,
end trained himself up io a speed
of 45 words a minute.

WHEN THE BOYS,
COME BACK TO THE FARMS
They'll• probably wanttelephone service,
if they didn't have it before. War has
taught a lot of those in. uniform — and
their parents, too—to rely on telephones
more than ever.
Our plans are ready to.make raral
tele-
phone service in Ontario and Quebec
available to a- greater number of users in
the post-war period:
Much of the preliminary work already
had been done when war interrupted the
program extending rural telephone
service. We intend to resume it as soon
as the necessary sateriale and manpower
are available.

Banks are continually making small loans to meet these
emergencies which can upset the hest -planned budgets.
Three out of every five bank loans are for less than ,c
$500. Many of these are used to take care of such expenses
as doctor or hospital bills, temporary embarrassment
at tax -tune, a sudden journey, the winter's coal bill.
Again, educational needs of the family often are financed
by small bank loans:
These small loans enable individuals to consolidate

Small loans furnish just one more example of the service
