Like Late last Summer the president of a power company on a tiny island off the Rhode Island. coast--Block Island—learned that diesel oil for the generators would be in short supply soon. His solution? Build windmills! The power company is now building six giant windmills, with blades as big as city buses. The blades themselves have to be capable of withstanding wind speeds of up to 150 miles per hour. Hopes arc that the windmills will be operational as early as 1975 and supplying 70 percent of the island's power needs. The population on the island peaks in summer to 7,000 people. Winds average about 13 miles per hour during the summer and twice that during winter. The power company says it will probably be cheaper to build the windmills than a conventional oil-burning station with the same generating capacity. The president of the company, Henry Hutchinson, says, "You know, this really isn't that far out. There used to be six-and-a-half million windmills in the Midwest until about 1935—when the government made people give :hem up to encourage electrifi- :ation. That just about ran the vindmill industry out of the n try . "CNIB serves a double func- tion," according to James Knight, Brussels, CNIB cam- paign chairman. "On the one hand it is a rehabilitation agency and, on the other, a prevention service. Because 50% of blind- ness can be prevented, CNIB's prevention work is of vital int- portance to this community." Through the EA. Baker Foun- dation for Prevention of Blind- ness, CNIB sponsors clinical fellowships for ophthalmological training and for basis research into the causes of various eye Conditions. CNIB also supplies statistics on the causes . of . blindness that no other organization can offers These statistics arc broken down into age groups, types of blind- ness and degreeS of vision to assist in research. At the community and neigh- borhood level CNIB organizes special clinics for pre 7school children to detect conditions Short Shots (Continued from Page 1) other everyday irritations • that annoy us, Canadians still have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend. Thankful that we can spend it with members of our family, that few Canadians are starving to death; that we have not suffered devastating floods.

On this Thanksgiving.Day let us give thanks for the many advantages we enjoy that others throughout the world are denied. * * * Smiles A youngster was telling his parents what he had learned in school about George Washington. "Was he a soldier or a sailor?" asked his father. The child thought for a moment. "I don't know for sure," he said. "Btit I think he must have been a soldier. I Saw a picture of him crossing a river and Any sailor knows better than to stand up in a rowboat," who took part and extended an invitation for the Rally to meet with thent in West Huron in 1975. which, if loft untreated, can led to blindness. CNIB also sponsors screenings for glaucoma - another frequent cause of blindness if it is loft untreated. In addition, GNIB operates three 'mobile eye care vans which travel in some remote areas. One .mobile van examined 1,500 people recently and. found 65% had eye problems. About half were children and in almost all cases early diagnosis meant avoidance of. serious sight pro- blems in the future. Through broad publi tion • programs CNIB a general public and workers on the care at tion of the eyes.
