TRAINING
MIME MAN TAKES
ADJUSTMENT COURSE
Early reports on the progress of
the current campaign for funds by
the Canadian National Institute for
the Blind indicate there is a grati-
fying response by regular donors.
"The success of this year's cam-
paign will depend on the response
of new donors," said E. F. Wheel-
er, district field secretary.
Donations from new contributors
are needed because CNIB serves
more blind people each year and
the service Program is continually
being expanded. This year marked
the beginning of an adjustment
training course given at CNIB
Headquarters, Toronto. On Sept,
25, the fourth blind person from
this area, Maurice Dennis of Car-
rie, was enrolled in the course.
Mr. Dennis, who is married and
has a nine-year-old daughter, ex-
perienced the tragedy of blindness
two years ago. Besides having to
cope with the discouragement and
despair of blindness, he suffered a
serious hip injury- shortly after los-
ing his sight. For an agonizing
few months 1-e was convinced the
cards were stacked against him and
felt life was not worth living.
The turning point came when
he was visited by a CNIB social
worker eighteen months ago. He
learned that with training from
CNIB and determination on his
part he could resume his role as
the family breadwinner. Since
then a sightless home teacher, Miss
Amy Lammie, has been visiting
bins regularly and giving him in-
struction in crafts and Braille
reading. "He is doing very well
with Braille and picked up leather
work and basketry quicker than
anyone I ever taught," commented
Miss Lammie.
Besides continuing his study of
Braille and crafts in Toronto, Mr.
Dennis will be given White Cane
training and the opportunity to de-
velop skill and poise in recrea-
tional and social activities such as
bowling and dancing, Probably the
greatest benefit he will derive from
this course will be the encourage-
ment he receives from instructors
and counsellors, most of whole], are
themselves blind,
This year $6000,00 is needed to
finance the work for the blind in
Huron County.
