objective of $10,000., Seaforth
Lions raised Si ,200 for the project
with their Valentine Dance.
A film "Destination'
Unlimited" was shown at
Rochester which depicted the
program at the school.
Mickey Loeser, an instructor,
outlined the history of the school
which was founded in 1939 by a
group of Michigan Lions and
today is supported 75 per cent by
Lions Clubs w Untfn dnd

supplied, It is estimated that it
costs the school $4,500 for the
four-week training period for each
blind person and the four-Month
training period for each dog.
The dogs are donated to the
school and then put through a
preliminary training when
unsuitable dogs are weeded out.
Dogs must be positively
friendly, even to strangers. They
must be from one to two years
old, in good condition and willing
to accept responsibility. German
• Shepherds, Labradors and
Golden Retrievers are the breeds
used at the Leader Dog School.
Blind people wanting Leader
Dog come from all over the
United States, Canada and many
conntries around the world. They
must have less than useful vision,
be over 16 years of age, in good
health, emotionally stable and of
good moral character.
After a period of getting
acquainted with the Leader Dog
carefully matched . to his own
personality the student is, taken to
the small, quiet town of Rochester
where actual pedestrian training
is begun. Gradually the training
is increased to more hazardous
traffic conditions through training
on the busy streets in the heavier
traffic and hurrying crowds of
'Birmingham and Royal. Oak.
Al .the end 'of ...four_weeks—
training with his Leader Dog, the.
hesitant blind student is changed
to an erect, confident person who
has challenged and conquered
one of life's severest handicaps.
Now he will be able to' shop,
board a bus, go across town,
across country -- alone.
Mr. Loeser said a Leader Dog
will last 8 to 10 years, sometimes
up to 15 years. A shorter training
period.would be satisfactory when
a student returns for a
replacement dog - perhaps 14 to
21 days.
An eligible student for a Leader
Dog range from 16 to 65 years of
age he said.
Mr. Loeser r.:xplained that all
the dogs are neutered and are
carefully screened and cared for
to keep them healthy. When a
dog' becomes tocl 'old to be useful
it must be returned to the school
so that it can retire with dignity
and proper care as a reward for its
eqntributio-n during prime years.
The visit to the •Leader Dog
School for the Eli nd was
enlightening and it reminded a
number on the trip that the Eye
Bank donated several years ago to
the Seaforth Hospital by the „
family of the late Fred Chapple in
his memory, has never —been
used.
The hope was expressed that
the trip would be a reminder to
many to sign a pledge card
ensuring the donation of eyes on
death so that someone living May
see.
