Mae- Tier, in the Parry Sound area, Formerly the camp for the blind was at Ancaster. While this af- forded a pleasant holiday for those who could attend, facilities were meagre compared with those at the new location, Camp Joseph is situated on the lake of the same name, and is com- prised of 18 acres of bush and sandy beach, with one 'building housing administrative of f ices, sleeping units, laundry, recreation room and dining room. A breeze- way runs the length of the build- ing, so that campers need not go outside to get from one Place to the other in inclement weather, The entire project will cost an estimated $346,000 and is being r financed through various service clubs. The Lions Clubs in Ontario have pledged their support, and the two campers from Wingham are also grateful to the local club for sponsoring their holiday. Bill Cruikshank, past president of the Wingham Lions Club, drove Mr. Collar and Mr. Henry to Elke- ter, picking up Miss Marion Pick- ett and her sighted escort, Mrs, Mills, at Clinton. They went to Kitchener by bus from Exeter and had dinner at the home for the blind there. Lions had chartered school buses for the trip to camp front Kitchener, Building Completed A five-year scheme has been planned ,for the completion of Camp Joseph, but the initial and most important item, the building, took shape in record time. Mr, Henry was told that last April there was still two feet of snow over the unbroken ground. On July 15 the first campers arrived and from that time to August 12, 240 registered blind had passed through the camp with two more two-week 'periods to follow. The camper enters the adminis- tration •building for registration and is assigned to his unit, where he will be quartered during his holi- day there. Each of the nine units has 14 beds, with six double rooms and two singles to a unit. Across the end of each unit is a very com- fortable screened-in veranda, over- looking the lake. All beds' have foam rubber mattresses and pillows and the rooms are electrically heated with, thermostatic .eontrols in each, One counsellor is assign- ed quarters in each unit. The only •chore the campers are responsible for is the making of their own beds, Designed for Independence ' Every section of the .building opens off one side Of 'the breeze- way and each, is 'designated by its own letter, from A to L, with the letter o'n the door in a large size. Totally blind campers can tell ex- actly which 'door they approach by feeling the letter marker. A hand- rail is 'used as a guide from door to door. The recreation room is very large and comfortable, furnished with chesterfields and chairs, and with a fireplace at one end., The chimney is also utilized for the out- side barbecue, where many plea- sant evenings are spent, The dining room is designed for cafeteria-style meals with servi- ettes, trays and silverware so ar- ranged that even the totally blind can easily pick them up as soon as they leave the break in the guide rail, As they move through the line, all food is placed on their trays, except the beverage, The partially- sighted then find, a *place at one of the tables, each seating four people, while the totally blind are guided to their places. Camp- ers are encouraged to sit with dif- ferent people each meal, so that they become acquainted and make friends. The beverage is then brought to the tables on tea wa- gons, and each person pours his own. The very completely equipped canteen is located in the adminis- tration section, Here they can buy anything from a postage stamp -to a ham sandwich or a can of shoe polish, front ten In the gm.. nir.g to ten in the evening, Campers may reach the lake either from the screened veranda in their own unit, or from a ramp in the breezeway. By, following the cement walk they can make their way to the bowling green on the left or turn right to a path to •the docks. A gravel path to the top of a hill leads to a summer house about 15 feet above the water. It is built on a rock that juts over the lake. Benches are placed all around the edge of the screened summer house. Recreation Equipment There are many opportunities for recreation at Camp Joseph, A motor boat takes riders out at about 20-minute intervals during the afternoon. Those who prefer rowing are allowed to do so, but there must be either a sighted or partially-sighted person in each boat. Many of the registered blind who are partially sighted are able to guide the rowers by watching a landmark on the shoreline. Lake Joseph is a very quiet lake and the water remains at about 73 de- grees. A lifeguard is always on the tower with 'field' glasses so that ho can watch both swimmers and boaters. The camp has a high- powered boat that can reach any part of the lake in less than ten minutes should anyone be in dif- ficulty, and the guard gives in- structions on the loud speaker. Anyone in a rowboat who gets tired ,has only to signal and he will be towed in. A motel on the same lake that has a refreshment booth, offers a service to the campers. All they need do is row up the lake to the motel dock, one person goes up and gives their .order and the trio. tel employees deliver it to the boat. The campers leave their empty pop bottles on the 'dock and they are picked up later by the staff. The grass for the bowling green is sod that was brought in from Kentucky. Bowling is a favorite sport, with most of the people and many of them become quite expert. The bowlers aim for a stake and this is done by sound. One per- son stands at the stake and guides the bowler either by the clapping of hands behind .the stake or by tapping on a can, The game of shuffleboard is also played by sound, and this, too, was a popular pastime. A horseshoe court has been completed and it is expected that by next year the golf course will also be ready for use, There were some cribbage fans on hand in the recreation room most evenings. Cards used by the blind have the same markings as ordinary decks, but have braille markings in the corners as well. Thus the cards can be used by both blind and sighted people. Checkers and dominoes ' are also games that can be played. One of the highlights was an eve- ning of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Trial by Jury", presented by a group of young people,. 12 to 17 years, from a Jewish camp in Par- ry Sound, This is a music camp, where the cost for eight weeks' training is $900. The orchestra was excellent and there were 45 young- sters taking part in the perform- ance, This entertainment was sponsored by the Parry Sound Lions Club. There was some form of enter- tainment planned for each night, everything from Talent Night, when the campers performed, to bingo and barbecues. Not yet completed, but eagerly awaited, are the nature trails. At the moment a guide or counsellor must accompany the campers, but when finished they will be able to take off by themselves and follow handrails. The trails will wander all through the bush and there) will be no possibility of anyone / getting lost, There is also children's play- ground equipment at the camp, such as swings, teeter-totters, mer- ry-go-round, etc. A children's camp Wes following the one attend-` ed by the Wingham men. It is expected that accommoda- tion will be available, perhaps by next year, for family camping, when the registered blind will be able to take their families With them, This new approach should be of benefit to the entire. Both Mr. Collar and Mr, Henry enjoyed their holiday, They were pleased with the many conven- iences and safety precautions, as neither of these men take an es cort, and are pretty well on their own. PLAY AT SERVICE IN MT, FOREST GRIMM The dedication service for the centennial gates at Brussels on Sunday will conclude a very busy season for the Salvation Army Band. They have assisted with sev- eral services and events this sum- mer and have travelled over, a wide area. Most recent function was on Sun- day when the Band took part in an- niversary service at Woodland United Church, east of Mount For- est. This was at the invitation of Rev, Douglas BrYclon, • About 350 people 'attended. 1, Rev, A. Lavender, D.D., was the speaker and.the Band played several selec- tions, as well as the accompaniment for all the hymns. They had played on open' air concert at Mount For- est Park earlier in the day. A week previous the Salyation Army Band supplied the music for the annual worship service of the Normanby Township 'Federation of Agriculture, This was held at 'Silent Valley Park, east of Ayton, a pri- vately-owned natural park. There were about 500 people at the ser- vice. • The speakers were Cadet Paul Murray, femporarily 'in charge of the Hanover Corps, and Capt. G. Otenley Newman, of the Wingham Corps, 'Salvation Army. FIRE DESTROYS BARN AND SHED WROXETER—A large bank barn, approximately 40'x60', and a straw shed about 25'x35' on the, farm of James Sanderson,.about a,half mile south of Wroxeter, were completely destroyed' by,. fire, of unknown origin about 5.39 p.m. Saturday. Mr. 'Sanderson was alone' at the time, his wife and sons being in Wingham. After calling the Wing- ham Fire Brigade he was successful in' rescuing nine Sows and 27 chunks of pigs as the fire broke out in the upper section of the barn, but approximately 170 hens were destroyed as .weil as a hayloader and •fanning mill. Fortunately the crop was not threshed but the en- tire hay crop was lost. The wind, in a favorable direc- tion, aided the' efficient fire bri- gade which saved the house, a large driving shed and a freshly filled 100 gal, gas tank, by playing a steady stream of water on them at the height of the blaze. Estimate of loss was not immedi- ately known, but is partially cov- ered by insurance. WROXETER Mrs. Ethel Hammen and Mr. Malcolm Weir, of Toronto,. called on Mrs. W. E.
