Seeing By Ear Why a blind man can walk along a street and, without the aid of eith- er his stick or a passerby, stop dead before a blank wall, has long been a puzzle . to doctors and laymen alike. Most popular theory: the blind are aided by a mysterious "sixth sense" ' which develops after the onset of blindness as a compensatory faculty. After making 1,500 experiments, Dr. Karl M. Dallenbach, acoustical) expert, of America's Cornell Univer- sity, , was certain last week that he I had found the real answer. Tlwo of Dr. Dallenbach's students, Wilton Cotzin and blind Michael Supa, took part with him in the ex -1 periments. Covering their hada com- pletely with cowls, all three marched forward towards a screen, walked around it without touching it. As the seeing and the sightless all scored full marks on this test, the doctor's first belief was that the blind man's skin acted as a sixth sense, helping him to feel the air pressure as he approached 'a solid object. • As a test, all three covered every ,bare patch on their bodies, but Supa still appeared to have some advan- tages over the, .other two, was more confident and assured. • It was noted that he could step as far away as 15 ft. from the screen, walk slowly around it without com- ing into contact. When the experimenters coverc'1 their ears they got their first real clue and when they removed their , shoes the mystery was solved. It was decided that loss of sight is compensated by extra hearing. When a blind man walks he can hear the faint echo of his steps. As he ap- proaches a solid obstacle the echo is softened, The sixth sense is merely an acutely developed fifth sense. passed Away At Bramptoh— World waS received in Brussels of the sudden death of Milton AcArter, Brampton.

District comprises the eleven counties of Southwestern Outurio, namely: Bruce, Elgin, Essex, Huron, ].fent, Lainbton, Middlesex, , Oxford, Perth, \Vitterioo, Wellington, it is the smallest, most compact o the eleven. It is one of the mos thickly.settled, Military District No 2, with Toronto as its headquarters and Military District No, 4, wit Montreal as its centre, niay ehow a greater population, but in propoi'tio to area, Military District No. 1 1 easily the most populous. Moreover, from the standpoint o recruits for Canada's Army, M. D. is one of the most productive dis tricts in the Dominion, In this war, as in the last, M. D. has a record of which to be proud ,Figures to the enc: of 1941 show tha M. D.1 has contributed a total o 22,338 recruits to the Active Army This is apart (cons Navy and ,Ail Force enlistments. In addition, M. D 1 has a Reserve Army strength o1 approximately 12,000 men, About 16, 000 have received military training under the NRMA. Let's take a look at the geographi cal layout of M. D. 1. Bounded on the south by Lake Erie, on the west by Lake Huron and Lake St. Clair and os,, the north by Georgian Bay, and watered by a fine network of rivers and streams, this section of. Ontario is naturally one of the richest agri- oultural areas in the Dominion, It is also an important centre of industry, including many vital war plants. While 111. D. 1 contains no metro polis such as Toronto, Montreal o Winnipeg, it boasts ten thriving cit- ies, including London with more than 77,000 people and Windsor with up wards of 100,000 in city and envie. ons. The other cities are Kitchener', Chatham, Stratford, Woodstock, St Thomas, Sarnia, Guelph and Galt. There are 77 towns and .villages in the eleven counties in M. D. 1, where newspapers are published, a record among the military districts o1 Canada. As one of the oldest -settled parts of the country, with a high percent- age of native-born citizens of British stock, it is natural that patriotism should attain a high standard in M. D. 1, as reflected in enlistment figures as well as in Victory Loan and War Savings campaign. It is conceded, too, M that . D.1 has been fortunate in the calibre of its military leaders and is regarded as a model with respect to co-operating in nation wide military projects and all undertakings con- nected with the war effort The first two months of 1942 pro- vided typical examples of the driving force furnished by M. D. 1 for Can- ada's war program. Iu quick succes- sion came a district -wide recruiting campaign, the Canadian Army Train and a District mechanized convoy. The first had a prominent role in boosting the number of Active Ser- vice recruits close to the 100 -mark for January, while the stimulus of train and convoy were of noteworthy significance in the District's fine showing in the Victory Loan cam- paign. In February, too, the Canadian Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) was mobilized as an Active Service unit, to be followed early in March by mobilization of the Scots Fusil- iers with headquarters at Kitchener, and the Oxford Rifles at Woodstock. Just what does Military District No. 1 comprise? First, its headquar- ters is located in the City of London.. Headed by Brigadier D. J.. Mac- Donald, D.S.O., M.C., District Officer Commanding, its staff " consists of about 36 senior and junior officers, engaged in widely-diversifled branches of the service but all combining in the common effort of providing the requisite Leadership for military act- ivities throughout the district. The branches include' supply and Transport, Engineers, Paymaster, Medical, Intelligence, Audit, Auxiliary Services, Records, Dental, Provost, Chaplain, Reserve Unit Officer's and Women's Army Corps. Then there Bre numerous General Staff Officers and the A.A. & Q.M.G. Branch (Assistant Adjutant and Quarter -Master Gen- eral). District' Headquarters, located in the old Customs building on Rich- mond Street and overflowing into of- fices on the opposite side of the street, is really the hub around which the wheel of military activity in M.D. 1 turns, tIs spokes radiate out into the District, connecting it with Dis- trict Depots, Military 'Praising Gen- res, Active and Reserve Army Units,, a.nd keeping it in clgse touch with a maze of associated military affairs., Some of the outstanding component arts of M.D.1 may be summarized as allows: No, 1 District,Depot at Wet- eley Barracks on Carling Heights, where the tnajorlty of Active recruits in. the district are enlisted and ti'ain- td for a few 'weeks before going to BadeTraining Centres, and No. 1 District Depot (Windsor Detachment) $ which performs a similar function au the Windsor aitea; the three :tistsic. Training Centres at Kitchener, C;Ala- tlram and Guelph, through whiter some 15,000 active and "R" recruits have already passed; the Central Mechanization Depot and the Mech- anics' Training Centre at London, f two vitally important links in the t program of building Canada's mecli- • anized army; the Woodstock Ad - vanced Driving and Maintenance School, unique in Canada, where skilled drivers and maintenauce ex- it. perts from units across Canada re- s calve advanced training; the Ford Chrysler, and General Motors Army f Trades Schools in Windsor, which 1 are serving a. somewhat similar pm' , pose; the Bennett Barracks at Lis. 1 , towel, where the Canadian Fusiliers (A) are housed; the Polish recruiting depot at Windsor and the Nether- lands training centre at Stratford, This summary does not take into ' account the summer' training camps in the Thames Valley for Reserve ' units nor the London military hospi- tals which are performing a notable - work. No' does it elaborate upon such institutions as the Active Serv- ice Club in London, where hundreds of soldiers, sailors and airmen come daily for relaxation and entertain- ment, For this institution the Citi - sons' Auxiliary War Service Com- mittee, headed by prominent London- ers, is largely responsible" It has its counterpart in every city and town throughout the District, where vari- ous auxiliary organizations are doing noble work. But this resume will suffice to incl- . Mate that Military District No. 1 is r ribly upholding its right to Number One position in Canada's military organization. It is setting a pace - which if matched by the other milit- ary districts will produce maximum results for Canada's war program. "Did your 'friend completely re- t cover Prom his broken leg?"
