What would you do if you lost your sight? It is a question that over thirty eight hundred people in Ontario have had to ask themselves at one time. A few years ago the question was hard to answer. Today there is only one sensible reply-- con- sult the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. If there is anything that can be done for a blind person, in the way of finding him employment, in the way of teaching him Braille or handicrafts, in any way at all, the only source to which he can look for help is to the Canadian National In- stitute for the Blind. The Institute is organized to assist blind people. It cannot carry on the great work it is doig, without substantial support from the public. That support has been forthcoming in past years, but it must be maintained, and it is not the business of any one section of the comunity or one part of the country. There is no district where there is not work for the C.N.I.B., and there is no district exempt from the duty of do- ins; its share to provide the -nnews of war. On Saturday. May 1st, citizens of Grey and Bruce County will have an opportunity of contribut- in" to the support of services to the Blind. This campaign is under the direction of the Owen Sound and District Advisory Board to the Can- adian National Institute for the Blind, and is sponsored by the Flesherton Women's Institute. Every worker is a volunteer. The Institute does not pay commissions to collectors. Every cent raised iroes to the work for which it was con- tributed, i BORN At Markdale hospital on Friday, April 23, 1943, to Mr. and Mrs. C. S. McTavish, the gift of a daughter.
