Mail to Community, Memorial Hos- pital Board, Port Perry, marked "Tender", The campaign for funds Wood, President, and Col. E. A. Baker managing director singesthe Institute was started/an 1918. The new centre located in 1 York "just outside Toronto, will ha the key in a network of fifteen modern design structures located from Halifax to Vancouver. These centres now in operation for several years, are offering rehabilita- tion to the blind of 'their respective districts far beyond the fondest hopes of those who planned apd built the structures; Cheerful surroundings and a pleasant home-like atmosphere are putting a happy spirit in the minds of the blind residents, who are often more sensitive to the world they do not see than most people realize. Special guide rails along the walls, safety gates at the top of the stairs, rounded corners to avoid sharp edges in the event of collision are a few of the considerations developed by the C.N.LB. to make the centres acces- sible by touch and to assist the sight- less" in moving around the building. C.N.LB. directors report that the sighted are taking more interest in the blind -in cities whére these new type centres have brought work for the sightless under one roof in the same way the Toronto building will do. ; Volunteers are visiting to read and write letters in the small recreation rooms set aside for the purpose, while church choirs, theatre troups, orches- tras and other entertainers are offer- Ling their talents in the larger reciea- tion halls each centre provides. Sightless and sighted are mingling in fellowship never possible before in Canada, and lasting friendships result simply because the new centres are offering "suitable. facilities for people to meet and get to know each other. The proposed new national head- -| quarters, to be built neat Toronto, will serve 2,000 blind from the city and the five counties. It will provide a resi- dence for more than one hundred, numerous réading rooms, hobby rooms, and workshops, with the entire unit offering a program of rehabilitation and adjustment to the handicap of blindness never available before, The centre, which will occupy about four of the more than ten-acre pro- perty on Bayview Avenue, will be a landmark in the history of welfare in Canada. Citizens of this community will be glad they had a share in it. " WORLD CHURCH NEWS 'Reverend W. J.
