tl th le ~~ S $16,000 target CINNIB gears up for local campaign The Huronia District Advisory Committee to the CNIB is preparing its campaign for funds to be held during the month of October. During the campaign in Huronia, officials hope to raise $16,000, reports Dean Nicholls of Midland, campaign chairman. According to Nicholls: $16,000 must be raised for the Canadian Institute for the Blind during its 1981 CNIB relies on public contributions for the funds needed to con- tinue these essential programs. It is only through our appeal once a year that CNIB is here to help when sight is lost." Nicholls said that loss of sight is indeed tragedy, but living without sight need not be. CNIB's specialized programs provide blind people with the skills they need to take their place in community life as wage earners, homemakers, students, parents - as fellow citizens. Listing examples of accomplishments made possible by con- tributions to CNIB, he explained: "A newly blinded man can sup- port his family when he returns to the job market following rehabilitation and job skill training. "A blind mother can learn new _ techniques for running her home and raising her family. "The bewildered parents of a blind child can be more confident of a bright future for their youngster. '*Prevention of blindness programs, such as_ glaucoma testing, can continue." "Remember,"' he added, '"'money can't buy sight but your dollars will help blind people help themselves through continuing CNIB services." In Midland, a direct mail approach will be conducted during October in an effort to raise the necessary funds although in other parts of North Simcoe homes will be called on. "Make certain those people calling on you have the proper CNIB identification," Nicholls cautioned. Best to beware Penetanguishene Police Constable Gerald Fuller holds his force's radar unit.
