'How C.N..B. Helps IBInd With Probleme Saturday is Tag Day for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. This is one time when you shouid give as generously as you can. Yes, we know that the demands are many. The causes for which you are asked to con- tribute are worthwhile, f00. But this tag day has a speciai appeal. If you have ever experienced a biackout you wili realize the beip- iess feeling one experiences grop- ing their way about in the dark. Suppose you were in a perpetual biackout? If you think on that subject for a while we know you wili contribute generously when the canvasser cails on you or you are stopped on the street for a donation. A few years ago Judith Robin- son wrote a column in The Globe "Letting Light Into Darkness". This has been kept by a worker in the local branch and bas been handed to The Statesman. It gives us pleasure to reprint iA. Because fomorrow is tag day for the Canadian National Insfi- tute for the blind, this reporter wenf to the Institute on Beverley Street yesferday f0 find a story. In the sof t spning sunlight out- side a black squirrel who had lost bis reason was chasing bis fail around and around the mid- dle of the sidewalk. The yellow crocuses were in flower in the park beds and on the maples wbaf bad been buds the night be- fore were leaves, littie and fawny- gold and as appealing, being 50 perfect and s0 small, as a cbild's hand. The littie leaves stinred ail to- gether in the warm wind and bav- ing stirred wene stili ail together. Two pigeons on an old mansard roof leaned their bcads fo each other and liftcd them again with slow lovely grace, the way pigeons do. And behind the pigeons and the littie leaves and over the lunafic squirrcl and the yeilow crocuses the April sky spread the colon of innocence itself. This reporter went into the In- stitute for the Blind on Beverley Street for a story. Stonies There's a littie rooming bouse bere in Toronto whose landlady cannof sec. But she docs ail tbe work in ber bousc berseif and sbe's not beholden f0 anybody. She docsn'f want f0 be. She wants f0 make ber own way and be in- dependent. And tbaf's what she does and is. Only somefimes the nent and the coal bave to be paid in the same week, or a good-pay- ing roomen bits bad iuck the same time the plumbing bas f0 be fix- cd. Then the most independent penson nceds a liftlc belp and then the Canadian National Institute for the Blind is there. To help is what it's thene for. There is a boy in the Strafford Scbooi for the Blind, a normal, bealtby schoolboy not different from any normal bcalthy scbool- boy save for the handicap of blindness. He would be a life- gucst of this Province in an asyiuma for mental defectives now 'but for the Canadian National In- stifute for the Blind. Wben the Institufe found bim, bere in To- ronto, he was seven ycans old and bad neyer learned f0 use bis hands, f0 feed or f0 dress bimself. If had been taken for gnanted by bis famiiy that a baby born biind musf be imbecile. A wbole ycar a C.N.I.B. home teacher worked witb the cbild trying f0 find a way tbrough the darkness thaf cnclosed hlm, and could find none. So she worked on info fbe second year; and she found the way at lasf. And tbaf made one more pupil learning f0 meef the worid be will neyer sec witb a smile at scbool in Brantford and one lcss blank and fragic life f0 be dnag- gcd ouf in an Ontario hospitai for the insane. Tbere's a young woman blind and crippled witb infantile pana- lysis, living in a littie fiat in To- ronto wit b ber old mothen and a brother who was wounded af the war. But thenc's a radio for the blind girl in thc littie fiat, and there are Braille books, and each monfh thene's a small aliowance from the Institufe for the Blind. Not much, but cnough f0 keep tbree people fogether and happy who witbouf if must have been scattered, the mother and daugb- fer boused in institutions and the man alone. And fhere's Henry McSberry, wbo nexf week stants as manager of the cafeteria in the new Wil- liam H. Wright Building. Henry McSherry is 31 and a graduate of the Brantford Scbool for the Blind. He losf bis sigbf when he was nine; be was playing with a toy crector, and the toy screwdriv- er slipped. But fbat's pasf andI donc wifh now, and Mr. McSberry1 is in training wifh the C.N.I.B. learning bow f0 fccd hungry re- porters. Tbeyill none of thcm go witbouf food if he can belp if. Mn. McSherry ncassuncd fhis hungry reporter on fhe poinf ycs- ferday. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind bas placed 96 sighf- less men in charge of cafeterias and lunch counters in factonies and plants and wanehouses fbrougbouf Ontario. Mn. Mc- Sherry will be fhe 97fh. He bas beard about fhe way newspapcr- men caf, be says and he isn't afraid. The wbole thing is on finding wbaf people like and giv- ing if f0 them. But be couidn't hope to do if bere, of course, witb- ouf the Insfitute behînd bim help- ing. If is 20 years since the Cana- dian National Instifute for the Blind was foundcd in Toronto f0 hclp sightless Canadians. Blindcd Canadian soldiers were its firsf cane and then the graduates of the scbool for tbe Blind af Brantford. From thaf beginning the wonk bas spread unfil if neaches aIl across Canada scrving a bundred diffen- cnt necds of the tbousands of blind of this Dominion. But the Brantford graduates arc stili one "She was born to the sound of air raid sirens. She bas neyer seen the lighfs of the town nefleef- cd in the street, gazed into a shop window full of toys, on eaten a banana. She bas seen more air- planes than horses. She knovis ber mothen better than ber fafb- er, fhougb ber mother is away al afternoon at part-time war work. Hen father is a photograph in un- iform on the mantiepiece. "She bas lived in the country but she bas neyer been thene for a holiday. The country to bei is a place of activify, not leisune. A garden for ber grows vegetables, flot flowcrs. She bas once scen the sea, but she was not allowed f0 go nean if, or f0 paddle. She thrives on a dief in wbich graied vegefabies and potatoes play a chief part. She knows that a small bag of swects musf lasf a wcek. of the particular responsibilities of tac Toronto bnanch of the Insfi- fufe. There is not a great deal of use in spcnding money training youth to ovencome ifs handicap and take ifs part in the counfry's life if the country can provide no part f0 fake whcn if is fraincd. Thene is nofbing tbcy arc mucb prouder of at the C.N.I.B. head- quarters on Beverley Street than of the facf that every Brantford graduafe of the past three ycars, cxcepting threc who didn't wanf fbem, bas been provided with wonk f0 fit bis capabilîfies. If's a good record. And the In- stifute hopes f0 kecp if up, and the rest of the good work. But the besf work can't be kept up witaout the funds f0 work witb, and even the bcsf work is in danger of bcing taken for grant- cd affer 20 years. If I don't belp this fime somebody cisc wili, you say. But if somebody cisc doesn't, what then? This reporter came ouf into Beverley Street again wifh all fingers crossed. The black squir- rel bad rcgaincd bis sanify and run up a frcc. The pigeons had fiown away. But the crocuses in fhc park stili made a tracery of gold on brown, the liff le icaves sf111 sfirred ail together in the lit- fie wind and tbe sky was stili April's own blue. . . If isn'f so mucb, af most, thaf wc wbo bave sigbf can do for those wbo bave none. The C.N.I.B. tag day being f0- morrow, wc ougbf f0 be able f0 remember thaf. Obio's supreme court bas ruled thaf driving an auto 50 miles an hour and hugging and kissing a girl at the same time is wanton misconduct. If's also quife a feat. "The cbild who bas neyer known peace knows that there is danger in the world, but she knows, f00, that there are those who cane for ber, and tny f0 tbink things out for ber. If you ask ber a question, she gives a cool and senious answer. She wants f0 help, as well as be heiped. She is uscd to making the best of things, and to going without. She bas a stnong sense of companionsbip with other cblidren. "The cbild wbo bas neyer known peace is a symbol. She is a symbol of the immense changes whicb have taken place in the littie more than thnee years of ber life. She is a symbol of the wai- time Bnitain wbicb bas replaced the Bitain of 1939."-The Picture Post, of London, Eng. To this symbol The Evening Telegnam British Wan Victims' Fund is dedicated.

Girl Guides Those of us who are in charge of fat collection wouid like to show our appreciation of those among the Guides who have worked the hardest to collect this fat, most of the girls who have helped have made three trips but those in the honour roll below have done far more. Some Guides have not helped at ail, eight have made one trip and so on. We re- alize that ail are flot free to give this time, but that does not lessen our great appreciation of those who are mainly responsible for the hundreds and hundreds of pounds of fat salvaged. In order of trips made: Audrey Venton; Jackie Clarke; Peggy Dippeli; Audrey Northcutt and J. Luffman, equai; and we must flot forget Mr. Irwin of The Walker Store, who receives out of town dona- tions. 17-i* Wanted WANTED - ELDERLY WOMAN and wiiiing worker wants com- fontabie roomn and part board in private home.

Archdeacon Simpson Addresses Ministerial The Probiem of Religious Edu- catinn was up for discussion at West Durham Ministeriai Associa- tion, May 3, at the Parsonage, Courtice. In the absence of the president the Honourary Presi- dent, Canon Spencer, took charge of the meeting. The topic was introduced by the speaker, Archdeacon W. Simpson of Blackstock. In an interesting and informative paper, Arcb- deacon Simpson stressed the mag- nitude of the probiem, and dealt with varinus methods being em- ployed. While recognizing the strategic place of the home in re- ligious education, the speaker chose to confine himseif langeiy to the cbunch's task. The obvious shortcomings of the Sunday Sehool were pointed out, though it nemains our principal effort SO far. Various approaches to the probiemn of wcek-day religious ed- ucation in the schools were dis- cussed in the paper. It was noted as a hopeful sign that this move- ment was spreading in the smaller towns and rural areas of the pro- vince. The discussion which foi- lowed testified to the interest taken in the paper and in the mat- ters with which it dealt- The difference between a crank and an eccentric, is that the latter usually is regarded as wealthy, whiie the former is broke.
