the project with Hancock manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia branch as treasurch Contributions may be sent there and the slogan is Give generously this year for the need is great These words are very true It is fact that there are now in Barrie some 35 registered blind citizens and number of people receiv ing preventative care through the work of the CNIB already have their minds made up Few of these will be changed by campaign utter ances The real contest will be for the votes of the relatively small percentage who have not decided by now what party they wish to have in office Editorial Notes Thousands of Canadians with the help of donations by more fortunate people have tri umphed over the handicap of blindness To most of us who lead normal livesjsrnlles come easily enough To the handicapped smile is often badge of courage Few are more sorely handicapped than the man woman or child who is blind Thats why we who are privileged to lend helping hand can find special pleasure and warmth in the smiles of our blind neighbors amazement that with cattle prices to the farmer being much lower beef prices remain high in the stores Church services on Easter Sunday were well attended everywhere according to press reports contemporary remarks that no doubt the ministers would be thrilled if those who pick that particular Sunday for attend ance would make it habit There is fine story of the work done in Barrie and Simcoe County by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind Many of us are familiar with several people who are leading useful lives in service and industry for that reason Of the nearly 20000 blind cases registered in Canada last year well over 19000 received help from the Institute Summer is fast approaching and no better sign appears than the fact that practically everybody who wintered in the south have appeared on the local scene again Welcome home to all those who were in the Warmer climes of Florida or California While Orillians will be
