DEMANDS ON C.N.I.B. NOW
GREATER THAN EVER
"Many industrial jobs tomerly
done by the blind, both skilled
and unskilled, are' now being
handled through automated pro-
cesses." This ever growing threat
to job opportunities for the blind
was enivhasized at a recent con-
ference of Ontarie Field Sec-
retaries of The Canadian National
institute for the Blind. During
his talk, the speaker, H. G. itus-
sel, newly appointed C.N.I.B.
National Director of Employ-
ment, outlined steps ins depart-
ment is taking to offset result-
ing loss or employment for the
blind. "Automation points up the
need for more education on vo-
oationdl lines for blind students.
it also emphasizes the need for
research into job selection and
the training" required to equip
the blind youth for work never,
tackled by blind persons before
At present, C.N.I.B. is studying
the possibilities of computer
programming. Research has
already been done in the United
States, but has spent
considerable funds in investi-
gating the project and is current-
ly working with the UniverSity
Manitoba on a pilot project for
Canada."
The 3-day conference held at
the Toronto C. N. L B. 'Head-
quarters, probed this and many
other questions confroneing tl
forthcoming year's activities. ,
"O.N.I.13. has developed a thor-
ough program of aid to the blind
and blindness prevention," staced
E. F. Wheeler, District Field.
Secretary for Elgin, Huron, Mid-
dlesex and Perth. "The demands
on our Agency are greater today
than they have been before in
its 47-year history. As blind
people become better trained and
equipped, their horizons become
broader. The must keep
pace with these growing de-
mands if it 15 to continue to fulfil
its respensibilities to the cam-
knunity.” ;.
Twenty-two Field Secretaries
representing it Ontario Dist-
rict. Offices reviewed the agency
service program and studied new,
developments and techniques of
rehabilitation. There are 7,763
blind persons in Ontario, 550 of
which live in the district seri-
