Activities are as important for blind people as they are for sighted people. • Exercise is; particularly' helpful 'for developing a blind person's sense of balance and general well-being. Because of longer .life• spans there . are increasing numbers of . elderly blind people. Many , are retired and some have chronic health ' problems or other disabilit= ies. • Through CNIB social clubs many blind people have built warm friendships and developed new inteiests for their leisure time. Games and special equipment have. been developed for use by blind people for nearly every form of recreational activity from checkers to bowling to square dancing. CNIB also makes special ar- rangements to encourage a blind person to participate in existing conimu.nity programs and often acts as a liaison between the blind person and' a ,specific community resource. It also provides individ- ual counselling for the newly blind person to find interesting leisure time occupations. When your volunteer. canvasser alls on you, please give generous- ly to support CNiB's work for our community. The canvass will again this year be carried out by the senior students at Lu.cknow Central Public School. i BETS NICKEL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 mail. Apparently . thefriend thought that if. Scott. stuck with him, through the ups and downs, he should rescue " him in his financial plight. The gentleman who sent the nickel to Scott was none other than Robert Stanfield, leader of the Progressive Conservative party and the parliamentary opposition. The letter received by Scott read as follows: LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION September 9th, 1974. Mr. Scott Fawthrop, R. R. N o. 2, Holyrood, Ontario. Dear Scott, 1 would like to thank you for your letter of July 29th and also thank you for your costly support on election night. I am sending you the nickel you lost on my behalf; it is a small price to pay for your kind of confidence. Although 1 would not advise you to make any more political wagers, i hope you will continue to take interest in Canadian politics. Yours sincerely, Robert Stanfield WEDNESDAY, OC100E Dung�nnqn Fuir: AGood Atiend Friday's fine warm, sunny weather brought a good attendance to the 116th Dungannon Fair.
