ORGANIZED, WORK FOR BLIND PEOPLE
In this article, which concludes the
present series, we simply wish to
point out for special attention the
timin features of work for the blind
in, Canada and the campaign that is
being waged to prevent blindness. The
Canadian National Institute for the
Blind stands ready to 'investigate
each case of blindness reported and
if treatment cannot restore vision,
to render' the following services;
1. To provide teaching in the home.
2. To provide books and magazines
printed in embossed type.
3. To sell raw materials required
for home industries at cost.
4. To purchase for cash those home
products that cannot be sold localltt
6. To secure and pass on at whole-
sale cost, Braille writing appliances,
typewriters specially adapted, Braille
Watches, games of various kinds,
paper for use with typewriter ,er
Braille writing machines, tools, etc.
6. To give vocational advice, etc.,
to individuals desiring such and to
secure other professional advice or
opinions as desired.
7. To employ in industrial depart-
inents for men and women, those indi-
viduals who appear desirous and cap-
able of takingadvantage of such sup-
ervised factory work.
8. To interest sighted business men
and other people in efforts and pro-
ducts of blind individuals in your
community and to render every other
assistance that may be helpful.
How far has the Institute pr gress-
ed in carrying out the above program?
In six years it has registered a
total number of 5,300 individuals
across Canada, of whom 4,800 are at
the moment eligible for Institute ser -
from the blind standpoint.
viceIt
has investigated hundreds of other
cases but has not registered where
the vision of the individual was auf-
&lent to permit continuing at ordi-
nary occupation. In such cases, how-
ever, prevention of blindness treat-
ment or information as to care of re-
maining vision was provided. It has
employed in broom shops at the pres-
ent time, ninety blind men and in
the whitewear shop for women,
twenty-three girls and women, with
approximately twenty-two men em-
ployed in basketry shops. This brings
the total of men and women actually
employed: in factories to 135. Besides
this, over six hundred men and wo-
men are connected the various
salesroom departmen home work-
ers. Over eight hu blind peo-
ple in Canada are registered with our
Publishing
Library and Publis Department
as readers of our ture. Over
forty are resident .i es or resi-
dences operated Or fined by the

CONTROL AND FINANCE.
The Institute operates under Fed-
eral charter and is controlled by a
Council ` composed of thirty three
prominent individuals representing
all parts of Canada: Of this number,
eleven, are either blinded soldiers or
blind civilians, and the remainder
sighted business men and interested
women, devoting a great deal of time
and attention to this work. Besides
this Council, we have local boards of
directors for the Maritime Division,
Central 'Western Division, and the
British Columbia Branch.
Our funds are derived from two
main sources. First, Government
grants, and second, public contribu-
tions, bequests and Institute member-
dhip fees. Approximately fifty per
cent. of our support comes from the
Federal and various Provincial Gov-
ernments interested, while the re-
mainer is subscribed by interested
members of the general public.
HOW YOU CAN ASSIST.
1. Buy products made by the
hands of a blind Canadian.
2. If a campaign for funds in aid
of our work is held in your district,
subscribe.
8. Apply for membership.
4. Remember the Canadian Nation-
al Institute for the Blind in your will.
5. Assist blind people in your own
district if opportunity occurs, In
giving this assistance, please remem-
ber that blind people are often sensi-
tive and even prefer to go without
needed help rather than be the sub-
jects of excess sympathetic attention.
In short, we are prepared' to do
everything humanly possible to eradi-
cate needless blindness.
In closing, may I request a favor?
Iyou
If have. followed this series of
articles and now feel that as a result
of the information conveyed, you
would like to take more interest ins
;your blind fellow citizens, would you
kindly write to E. A. Baker, General
Secretary, Canadian National Insti-
tute for the Blind, Pearson Hall, To-
ronto. I would very much appreciate
your conunents and will be very glad
to do everything possible for cases

WHEAT EXPORTS TO U.S.
NOT FALLING OFF
United States Tariff of 42
Cents Per Bushel Not a
Restraining Factor.
Ottawa, May 4. -Reports from
Washington to' the effect that the
high tariff of 42, cents a bushel on
wheat, has effectually stopped impor-
tations from Canada are only a par-
tial statement of the situation. It
may be true that the ordinary import
figures from Canada were but a mere
trickle during April, but they do not
include imports for milling in bond
for export.
United States figures show that
from July lst to April 26th there had
been imported from Canada 24,808,-
000 -bushels of wheat, of which 13,-
853,195
3,553,195 were for consumption and
10,955,191 bushels were imported into
bonded mills grinding for export. The
important fact is that the latter's
importations are growing all the time,
and that new mills to take care of
this class ofbusiness aro being added.
:Approximately 11,000,000 bushels
may not seem to be a very large quan-
tity of wheat, but it was 1,800,000
bushels more than went out to the
United States for consumption there
during the seven months • ending
March.
That there is quite a lot of wheat
booked for export tothe United States
is 'evident from the feet that the re-
ports from Fort William say that the
bookings for American mills total 14,-
000,000 bushels. So if Canadian
wheat is not going across the line
through one means it is going through
another.
There is nothing so true that the
damps of error have not warped it.,

UNITED STATES' NEW
RULE ON AUTO TRAFFIC
Canadian Motorists Crossing
Border . Must Obtain Permit
Card.
A despatch from Niagara Falls,
Ont., says;-Unlees the customs di-
vision of the Federal Government
takes some action in regard to the
;Deal situation, Canadian motorists
entering the United States will ex-
perience considerable delay, when the
new ruling on traffic going into the
United States from Canada goes into
effect. Representative Clarence Mac-
Gregor of Buffalo has promised. the
Niagara Falls, N.Y., Chamber of
Commerce that he will work for a
special ruling on the situation here.
Under the new regulation every
motorist entering the United. States
at the local port will be compelled to
secure a permit card, issued by the
American Customs. Residents of
nearby points will be able to secure
special one-year permits.
The`United States Customs officials
say that much congestion of traffic
will result from the new ruling. In-
stead of being able to handle S00 to
400 cars an hour on Sundays and
holidays, the customs men say they
will be able to handle only about SO
cars an hour. It is not unusual for
10,000 automobiles to cross the
bridges here on a Sundayor holiday
during the summer season. The Un-
ited States Customs officials want the
Government to make a special ruling
allowing Canadian motorists to leave
their automobile registration cards at
the bridge offices as American motor-
ists do on entering Canada.

Natural Resources Bulletin..
The Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Departneent. of the In-
terior at
n-terior,at Ottawa says;'
The forested areas of Canada stand
second only to agricultural lands enee
ong the basic natural resources of
this country, and industries -using
forest products have been surpassed
by agriculture alone- in mothering
commercial growth. Their importance
as a factor in the rise of Canadian
commerce is evidenced by the increase
of the Dominion's exports of wood,
wood products and paper from $42,-
000,000 in 1908 to nearly $268,000,000
in 192>?
The work of ascertaining the actual
extent of Canada's commercial forests
is a large and exceedingly difficult
undertaking. While progress has
been made, the inventory is still far
from complete. Itis estimated, how-
ever,
ow •ever, that approximately 600,000,000
acres of the total land area in the
Dominion is covered by forest growth.
Of this 150,000,000 acres may be con-
sidered as bearing saw timber of
merchantable size, amounting to ap.
proximately 550,000,000 M board feet
The remainder of the area carries
young stands, or timber suitable for
pulpwood, fuel, etc.' The total pulp-
wood resources are estimated to be
about 1,300,000,000 cords of which
600,000,000 cords is of saw timber
size and is included in the estimate of

Japan to Float in U.S.
$150,000,000 Loan
A despatch from Washington
says: -Official advices received on
Thursday indicate that the Japanese
Government probably will seek to
float another large loan in this coun-
try early next year. Itis expected
thisloan will be for 5160,000,000, as
was the external loan floated in the
United States early this. year.
There has been much criticism in
Japan and the Orient generally of the.
terns of the 5150,000,000 loan floated
in this country. A loan for approxi-
mately $100,000,000 floated in Great'
Britain under precisely the same' con,
ditions, for somereason, has not been
criticized to anything like the sante
extent.
