The Advance pointed out that this salesmanship had no connection with the Canadian Naâ€" tional Institute for the Blind. It was also suggested that so far as the people ofcthis part of the North are concerned 'there is only one Oorgarization that | appeals to the people as a special grcup working for the blind. This one organâ€" ization has been wellâ€"known in the Noarth for years. Right here in Timmins it has established a number of blind people in business, watched them and helped them until they were able to carry on i themselves. Others it has trained for various lines of Occupation. ‘All the blind of the district have been given encouragement and assistance by this wonderful organization. To the blind in this part of the North the | Canadian National Institute for the Blird has been a blessing and an inâ€" spiration. The facts prove that. A fine »big healthy looking man and a smaller lady, both in full possession of their eyesight, called at The Advance office and léeft literature to show that there are other organization working for the interests of the blind. No one will disâ€" pute this, or think it worth arguing «@bout..But the. people of Timmins and Ldistrict whern they think of work for Trthe blind,, will still think only of the "Canadian National Institute for the Blind, when they are looking of ways to help the blind. They will remember D. B. Lawloy,‘field .secretary for the Institute, who has made many visits here on behalf of the Institute and who has been such a help and an inspiration to‘the blind in the North. Mr. Lawley himself has been blind for years, but his cheery presence and his desire. to help qgthers makes him a popular fiâ€" guré‘in this part of the North. People here will remember Capt. E. A. Baker. blinded through war injuries. but st‘ll gallant in the service of his country and its people. These imen came to the North firss< to help other blind people ‘to es_fiblisfi"-«tfienjsefvés in dlife and reâ€" adjust their attitude to changed conâ€" ditions. From what these good fellows accomplished grew a feeling of respect for the Canadian Institute for the Plind and a support in Timmins and jthe district that means when anyone isays anything about "helipirg the b"‘nd". the natural reaction is that the ‘Canadian National Institute for the Blind must_bc meant.
