What's for the birds? Why bird houses of course. For the past two years the students of Grade VII and VIII at Haileybury Public School have been holding their displays of bird houses and feed- ers, as the highlight of their year's work in manual training under the capable direction of Fraser Rea- vell. Last week the preparation for the show was all complete and they were ready for the judging in their various classifications. Connie Vachon and Sam Hughes were the adjudicators with the dif- ficult job of awarding the prizes. The three main classes for the houses were, houses for wrens, robins, and swallows, and al- though they are not the only birds that visit our region, it was made clear that marauding birds would have to go without a roof over their heads. But the birds won't be the only ones that will benefit from the houses, it has been proposed that the class sell the homes to bird lovers around the town so that they might decorate their grounds with the stately mansions and at the same time supply our migrat- ing friends with a new abode upon their return from the sunny south. The effects of the pupils who do- nated their time and effort to the worthwhile cause were also recog- 'nized in the form of substantial awards from interested citizens for: the best efforts. Mr. Reavell announces that the show of handicraft will take place in the showroom of Connelly's Garage. : Tops in honors were: Grade VII: Swallow homes -- Michael Hammerstrom, John Neil- son, Walter Adams. Robin homes -- Bobby Dempster, Rory McDiar- mid.. Wren homes -- David. Lara- die, Walter Oslund. Feeders Russell Findlay, Victor Larocque. Grade VIII: Swallow homes -- Carl Nielson, George Culhane, Earl Houghtling and John Horn- castle. Feeders -- Bob St. Louis and Wayne Russell, Paul Hough: Labour income in Canada is 1958 otalled $16.2 billion, compared to 515.8 billion in 1957 and $14.3 bil- ion in 1956. Research Essential In Work for Blind "Research makes Rehabilita- tion, Residential care and Recrea- tion effective tools in work for the blind," said Mrs. R. D. Cumming chairman of the South Temiskam- ing Advisory Committee to The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, in reviewing the multi- service program of the CNIB. She pointed out some of the most re- cent additions to the all-inclusive program. Research has provided CNIB with a great background of infor- mation. "When a need is discover- ed we endeavour to track it down and meet it.'? She did not merely express an opinion but illustrated it with factual examples. She re- ferred to the Library for the blind which houses 22,000 volumes of Braille reading and more than 35,000 hours of listening in talk- ing book records. Not only does the Library lend books without cost to the blind, but it also pub- lishes periodicals in Braille. A unique service provides textbooks recorded on disc and tape. These are made available to young blind students who despite their handi- cap pursue higher education in Canadian Universities. CNIB also conducts a research program on farm methods for the ~~ Blind. "Did you know there are more than 120 blind farmers in this province?' ?" enquired Mrs, Cumming. Mrs. Cumming discussed the Sight Conservation and Sight Re- storation program which is so im- portant in this community's fight against blindness. She is convinced that CNIB's 4R program ranks second to none. "That's w and 15 other people are men of this Advisory Committee. That's why we ask the public to support the annual appeal of the CNIB . which will be conducted from April 27 to May 9. The scream of skidding rubber behind you may be a warning of an impending rear-end collision. If you brace the neck with hands and/or seat back you may avoid serious injury. The main danger from rear impact is the "whip- lash" effect that can dislocate the neck. ceived up to 5 p.m., D.S.T. December 31st, 1959.
