Bluewater Blind club meets The first meeting of the Bluewater Canadian Council of the Blind for this year, was held at the Orange Hall, Albert Street, Clinton on Tuesday April 18. President Mrs. Gwen Watson called the meeting to order by welcoming, all members and sighted visitors. Following a short business agenda, Mrs. Rosemary Armstrong was introduced as guest speaker. Speaking in the roll of a co-ordinator for the Day Care for the Homebound, Rosemary outlined the program in detail. Her very interesting and instructive presentation was well received. Then followed a film en- titled, "Meeting the challenge of blindness." This film graphically portrayed the tragic feelings of fear ex- perienced by many human beings on being suddenly deprived of their vision. The theme of the story evolves around the frustrating but gradual return to happy and fruitful participation in the business and social en- vironment of the community. Following the program, all enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared and served by three of the mempers of Varna United Church, Mrs. Margaret Hayter, Mrs. Beatrice Taylor, and Mrs. Eleanor McAsh. These ladies were gratefully thanked by club program convener Rachel Johnston.
