of the Kiri bridge 4n-
troduvl the guest speaker, Mrs.
Jero>ine Voll, who has been
totally blind for • •the last 18
years. In spite of this she is, able
to do her own housework,
cooking,' baking etc.
Mrs, Voll admitted that what
she missed. most was the
reassurance of a sincere smile.
She can detect a happy at-
,
maspheire and happiness in, a
voice. She reminded those
present to be generous with
smiles.
When faced with the tunnel of
blindness she had two alter-
natives. She, could allow it to
waste a God-given life or she
could have perseverance
through the tunnel.
She spoke about the work of
the. C!N.I.I3. f'oun°ded by Colonel
E. Raker. A young, war veteran
when `he returned in •1918 he
had lost, his sight but not fight.
He lost no time in feeling sorry
for himself but gathered willing
workers and money. Meeting
places were arranged to talk
over problems. He found work.
shops across Canada. Vets with
problems became self suppor-
ting. They began to live again.
This was a step in the right
direction.
Years later after the war Mr.
Baker realized that blind
civilians also needed help. His
ambition was to get all blind
beggars off the streets. Joe
Conlin of Kitchener became his
escort and helped bring meaning
to the lives of these people.
More_ centres: were opened
train and serve the blind. The
C.N.I,B. provides teacher
training. The blind" people felt
the need of meeting others in the
same situation as themselves so
the Canadian Council for the
Blind was formed. It is the voice
of the blind and helps to fill
their needs.
Mrs. Voll described her own
personal experiences. When she
first lost her sight she felt it was
the end of everything. She spent
days wondering and prayed like
never before. She had a lot of
time in her collapsed world but
felt her family needed her.
She described her feeling of
satisfaction when she was able
to send her men out with
freshly -ironed shirts. Ordinarily
the'eye 'specialist will notify the
C.N.I.B. about a blind person.
In her case ' she called herself
and an appointment was made.
A chauffeur brought a totally
blind man to her door andit
was the first time in her life she
had ever been face to face with
someone who was totally blind.
The man at her door was. 31
at the time and had married at
25. He was the father of three
. children. When he was 10 he
lost the sight of an eye when a
snowball hit it. Then the . other
eye went in sympathy. At the
age of 18 both his eyes were
removed.
Mrs. Voll realized her
blessings at having at least had
seen her husband 4ond children.
She found it hard to believe that
her stamina and self confidence
• would in time be restored. Every
other day the man kept in touch
by phoning. She felt lost in her
own home- groping around. Af-

The Kingsbrldgs Catholic Women's League held their Novem-
ber meeting in the form .-of a dinner last week and guest
speaker for the occasion was Mrs. Jerome Volt, seated
second from. left. Left to right, back, are C.W.L. members Mrs.
Mark Dalton, Mrs. Walter Clare, Mrs. Joe O'Keefe and Mrs.
ter three negative calls she
decided to try, for a better
" report.
When faced with blindness it
is important to be alone because
then•-no.one_.can _retard --any am-
bition. She felt extreme satisfac-
tion the first time she did the
breakfast dishes ' alone and she
at first had a real phobia about
the stove but everyday she
gained confidence.
A rehabilitation teacher
visited her. Although blind since
childhood the teacher had a
great deal of talent. This
teacher helped Mrs. Voll to re-
establish herself in homemaking
and enabled her to look after
her family.
.Mrs. Voll hadbeen avoiding
socializing. Her teacher helped
her to overcome this and taught
her how to play cards. On her
third visit she was able to play a
game of euchre with her teacher.
'On one rt of her 'speaking
engagements she was introduced
"as the only woman I know who
plays with a marked deck".
She learned how to type so
that she might be better able to
correspond with her family. It
was suggested that she learn
braille. So once a week for an
hour she worked at it. Her 10
year old son helped with
homework and she was finally
able to master the 267 contrac-
tions of braille.
Now she could cook full
course meals; do the laundry for
her family of six, bake loaves of
bread, cookies, pies, etc. One
Christmas she made 500 cookies
and didn't burn one.
When baking there is no
guessing. 'She measures ac-
curately and times everything.
Her stove is equipped with a
braille minute minder, her
recipes are in braille and labels
are in braille. There are only
two things her husband won't
allow her to do and that is cut
his hair or drive his cat.
In selecting greetings for
friends and family she uses the
personal touch. She makes her
own cards complete with a 12
line verse composed by herself.
It is not so much what happens
to us but how we act or react to
what happens that makes the
difference, she says.'
Her sense of well being would
--he impossible without help. She
is able to "see" through the eyes
of others. She enjoys her dreams
imifiensely because she •is then
able to see everything in true
Mrs. Voll feels she has been
blessed with two lives --one with
and the other without sight.
One must ' have patience
though, 83% of what we do, we
do use our sight. She is groping
feverishly for ways to do these
things and an enormous amount
of humility is needed to accept
human kindness.
