Dear Sir:â€"Theé Aartitle in your issue of September 16th, headed "Institute for Blind Labels All Its Goods." was reâ€" ceived at our Toronto office just reâ€" cently, and was read with much surprise by our officials. This is the first time that our sales people have ventured into the North Country, and the kindly reception given to our products by all classes of citizens will undoubtedly call for a return visit at some later date. Three of our Toronto officials name!y Mr. J. W. Clarkson, Mr. Wm. Gomim and Miss J. Hanger, have just lately reâ€" ceived Coronation medals from their Majesties the King and Queen, and you must know that tokens such as these are only given as a mark of appreciation for services rendered in some particular form.

Lawley was formerly an official of the Canadian Federation of the Blind and is now working in a similar capacity for the Institute. The Federation has no quarrel with any other organization of the blind in Canada, but merely wishes to safeguard the interests of its blind workers at all times, and to let the public know that there are many organizations for the blind in Ontario and Eastern Canada, which are doing remarkable work for the blind people in their own respective community. We trust that your valuable paper will give this reply the same publicity as was given the previous article in your September 16th issue.
