WHITE CANE WEEK MESSAGE "When it comes to reading, fingers are good but eyes are better," stated E. F. Wheel- er, Field Secretary, The Cana- dian National Institute for the Blind, as he reported on a unique partnership between sighted and blind Canadians. Inviting citizens of this com- munity to 'Think what the White Cane Means-' he had warm praise for sighted volunteers in Toron- to, Montreal, 'Vancouver and other Canadian cities. They have learned to write Braille; -in order to provide blind students in•sight- ed high schools and'Univereities with Braille editions of the text books listed on their courses From a beginning ,of one small class in 1958, the'vblunteer tran- scribers have grown to more than one hundred Braillists. They have transcribedbooks, pamphlets, extracts. The sub- jects covered a variety of topics law, chemistry, mathematics, for- sign languages, diet sheets and a mail order catalogue, all have been transcribed. Volunteers spend many hours a week. learn- ing the Braille system which is based on the multiple combina- tion of six dots. They write with a specially designed writer that looks like a typewriter, Instead of a large key board with each letter fixed on a corresponding key, the Braille writer has only six keys, each corresponding to a Braille dot in the six -dot cell. "Blind Canadians owe a great deal to the volunteers who mast- er Braille writing," the field sec- retary said. "They are making it possible for blind students to ob- tain an education equal to that of the sighted. Later the students will enter careers of Law, Social Work and other professions where they will make a lasting contribution to their country. This is White Cane Week, not a fund raising week but a time when The Canadian Council of the Blind and CNIB invite you to "Think What the White Cane Means!" You may not want to volunteer as a Braille transcrib- er but you will gladly share your sight at street crossings.• If you drive and have spare time, you may want to offer your aid to the ()NIB residence or recreation club. In this way you can share your sight and help make life easier for those who cannot see. "Blind ,persons have no mys- terious sixth sense," stated Mrs. J. T. Patterson, President the Canadian Council of the Blind. She was explaining some of the misunderstandings frequently as- sociated with blindness in a spe- cial White Cane Week message she released, The Week is an annual education period never as- sociated with fund raising, spon- sored by CCB and The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, "Instead of a sixth sense, blind people develop their four re- maining senses, They listen har- der, concentrate keenly and use their ingenuity to make up for sight", she said, Mrs. Patterson told of one blind mother whose small son did not like to tie his shoe laces, The boy could never understand how his mother knew when the laces were undone, she could hear the metallic lace tags on the floor every time the youngster moved. Blind people do not always recognize your friendly 'hello' '. Mrs. Patterson said. She explain- edthat many sighted ,people are disappointed when the blind per- son does not recognize their voice. "Give your name in your first sentence and save the blind person the nervous strain that comes from groping in his mind for an identifying note." Mrs, Patterson exploded' an- other ; old myth, "Not all blind people are totally blind. Some thud pel'sons see a little," silo said. They may see through a mist er with an extremely small area of vision hi one part of the eye. "It is net useful vision. The partially sighted, as they are called, go about well and some can read a little, but when good vision is needed for employment, their sight is not sufficient. They are sometimes worse all than we who are totally blind" Mrs, Patterson said, "Think .What the, White Cane Means!" It means more than a cane. To the blind it is a morale builder and the symbol of a freer life. To the sighted' it is a remin- der that the blind have 110 special powers. They will be glad of a guiding hand at street crossings, and a moment's conversation, Even if tixey are partially -sighted there will be many a tight spot when they will be glad to borrow Your good vision. • Health Unit Issues Statement on Meat In Huron County, the Town of Goderich has had a meat inspec- tion programme in effect since 1948. In an average year, approx- imately 2300 carcasses will be processed in the Town abattoir with condemnation of about 5 carcasses and 250 portions. So, even with the purchase of first class stock, condemnation will occur. In addition of course, meat from federally inspected packing houses is also admitted to the Town. In the rest of Huron County, independent; operatorsof approv- ed slaughter houses are issued permits by the County Board of Health under the Public Health Act. Their files , are reviewed each year by the Board, and if approved, a numbered permit is, issued tothe eperator for public display. Dead stock plants and dealers are licensed by the On- tario Department of Agriculture under the Dead Animal Disposal Act. It has been said that illicit meat is 'more likely to be found in the shops of merchants who buy' from distant meat packing plants that do not come under au, approved inspection plan. Some of these plants may be unaware of the precise source of all their purchases, particularly if they buy stock that has already been slaughtered and portioned. The retailer has less knowledge about the origin of this product and has generally bought in good faith with no intent to deceive the public. Disturbing as it may be, the recent publicity will certainly make- people more aware of the problems of food control and it will help to stimulate more con- sideration for the consumer in legislation and administration.

A TORONTO -DOMINION BANKING SERVICE: THE SAVINGS ACCOUNT This is the first account most people open at The Bank. And for the wise ones, it is the last that is closed. Not too many years ago the Savings Account was a general catch-all where you' deposited money and paid it out by cheque at the end of each month. Today, the Personal Chequing Account does this job -and the Savings Account should be used for savings only; savings at interest! Get in the habit. Save for the rest of your life.
