rHUR.DAV, APMH.J28th. 1951 Roving Reporter Discovers Why Your Donation Is Needed To Help Can. Institute For The Blind (Continued From Page One) One Local Case Take the case et one Bewman- ville woman whomn many will know but whose name will be withheid. Seven years aga, ai- mest avernight, she was biinded by a haemorrhage et the right eye which aise aftected the left. A short three months later, the piliar upon whîch she leaned. hem husband, died. She was faced (vithsa ienely worid et darkness fnd se iived in that world alone %,more than thmce years. And ifin she heard et the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, and today she says, "They'vc donc sa much for me in the iast three and a hait ycars, it's just won- dertul." And another woman, almost totally blind since birth, discov- ered the Institute 14 years aga. In hem youth she had been inter- ested in music and aithough she plays by car teday. "If I'd been sent ta Brantford it wouid have been ahl right," she said, "but there just wasnt a Branttord in mny day." There is a schooI for the biind at Brantford. Bath women are in their sixties and ta theni the wold is a blur of motion. But through the Insti- tute they have iearned te make their lives usetul and have tound that by diligent practice they can read write and de handicraft womk with aimost unexcellcd case.- Bath have been trained by Miss Christine Dawson, a home tcach- cm working with the Institute. Teach Pupils to Read In the first case, the woman was taught ta rcad braille; subse- qucntly she learned handicraft work and is now in the midst et a typewriting course. She is aise lcarning te write braille in order that she may communicate with1 other biind friends. The woman in the second instance was orig-1 inaiiy taught te ead by the moon system. which is cntirely differeni frani braille. She is presenti; reading the novel, "Green Mantie' by the distinguished writem, John Buchan, once Govemnor-Genema. et Canada. For the information et readers, the braille alphabet is formed with a series et dots which, when in ditterent combinations, terni letters. For example, suppesing You Put two dots side by side on a piece et plain paper, and Put twa dots below these in simlar manner and two more dots below these again. This torms the basic key et braille, except the dots would net be pinted an paper, they would be impressed sa that thev would become embossed, or raised, In this systeni, the dot in the upper lctt hand corner rep- resents the letter "A," and this dot and the one beiow it when together torm the letter "B." If "C" is desired, the two dots at the top et the colunins arc its syni- bols. Contractions arc more dif- ficult for they are set symbois and must be memorizcd. Chilci- ren, for example, is tormed by two specific dots and is not speli- cd eut. Moon System Differs The moon systeni differs tram braille ia that it uses aiphabtical characters as xve know theni but in variaus positions. A "V" when turned upside-down also means "A" and whcn tumned an thc page~ with the point ta the left it means "*K." If the point of the "V" is directed toward the ight it means "X." This systeni, as iin braille. is dependent upon keenl mcmary, howcver, it is not too wideiy used today because most books are printed la braille.
