Tha Canaâ€" dian National Insiitute for the Blind, he said, has 12,009 blind persons régisâ€" tered, but one of the cbjectives of the Institute is to have all the blind people in the Dominion on the registraiion roll. It is known that there are many who are not now on the I‘st, but to Dr. Saunders in opening his address said that he had been on the staff of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind for only a short time, but he had been greatly impressed with the very evident interest shown in the work by people who were in no way connected with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. In Toronto, for example, he had been amazed at the amount of work done by the Woman‘s Auxiliary. The same condition seemed to prevail in the North. The interest shown in the efforts of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind reâ€" ceived very kindly and generous supâ€" port in the North. People who had no selfish interest of any kind gave their time and talent and money to support the work. He had been imâ€" pressed also by the patriotic address of Mr. R. J. Ennis, who had spoken before him, and who had placed the case of the Victory Loan so ably and earnestly. Taking these two things toâ€" gether, Dr. Saunders said; ‘"Here we find the trus essonte of democracy. In the case of the work for the blind, as in the other cast of democracy at Dr. Saunders was introducedâ€" to the club by D. B. Lawley, supervisor of fiela work in Ontario for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, an old friend to most of the members of the club. Mr. Lawley said that Dr. Saunders had only 4 per cent vision and was completely blind at night. He had been in business at the age of 21 when he found his vision going. He had faced the situation with courage and resourcefulness, and at once made plans for the future. He had turned his whole effort to the study of indusâ€" trial conditions and economics. Inâ€" stead of dropping his studies he had adapted them to his needs, with such ability that the essay he prepared for his degree won him a $1,000 prize, and he had also won other college honours. He had later been engaged as an exâ€" pert on the Sirois Commission. j Dr. Saunders Impressed by Number in the North Supporting the C. N. I. B.

He exâ€" plained that, under some conditions of sale, the bailiff was given wide powâ€" ers to enter premises and make seizâ€" ures under the bill of sale. A purchasâ€" er may not, at the time, realize just what conditions he is agreeing to, Mr. Conant remarked. "I intend inquiring into all the cirâ€" cumstances of this case. The action of bailiffs often arouses disputes," Mr. Conant said. Under legislation passed at the last session of the Legislature and now pending final approval, bailiffs are to be subjected to a special examination which is aimed at obtaining a better personnel. A change in the fee sysâ€" lem also will be made. A charge of being in possession of stolen goods was laid against Conrad Gauthier, 29 Way Avenue, on Monday afternoon after police are alleged to have found him in possession Oof a bx(y(,le that belonged to Billy Potvin, 117 Birch Street, North.. The bicycle was reported to have been stolen on April 27th from in front of the Church of the Nativity. Eye witnesses at the scene of the accident say that the car could not have stopped fast enough even if it had good brakes, after the young lad had run out in front ofi the car. The young lad was taken to Dr. Kelly‘s office after the accident but was found to have no injuries other than being badly shaken up. Proulx‘s car was travelling south on Tamarack and as he approached the intersection at Patricia Boulevard the young lad is said to have run out into the street and in front of the car. The young lad‘s name was Tony Zamejy and he lived at 311 Pine Street, North. An automobile accident on Toke street on Monday afternoon at about 5 o‘clock resulted in the laying of a charge of driving a car with defective brakes against John Proulx of 254 Tamarack Street, Timmins. It is alâ€" leged by the police that his car ran into an eightâ€"yearâ€"old boy and that when the police tested the brakes on his car after the accident they were foundâ€" defective.

Greenwood, president of the North Cambrai K‘lwanis Club, â€" Barnesboro, Pennsylvania, in response to the reâ€" cent circular letter sent qut by the Timmins Kiwanis Club inviting all Kiwanis to visit the North this year, or at least to come to Canada. The letter was a most interesting and inâ€" spiring «one. (It referred to the reâ€" markable effort being made by Canada to help win the war, and it also spoke Mr. R. J. Ennis, chairman of the Cochrane District of the Victory.â€" Loan Committee gave a very convincing adâ€" dress on Victory Bonds. In a few brief words he explained the vital necessity for Canada oversubscribing the Vicâ€" tory Loan. When he was first asked to accept the position of chairman for the district for the Victory Loan, he had first replied that it was not the post for him, as he was not a salesâ€" man. Thinking the matter over, howâ€" ever, it had struck him that this was not a case of salesmanship, but one of common sense, common responsibility and common business judgment. The Victory Loan offered an ideal opporâ€" tunity to every man, woman and child who had a banking account. It was much better for a man to invest his bank balance in Victory Loan bonds than to leave the money in the bank. The security was equal to the bank, while the Victory Loan bonds offered a bigger rate of interest than that alâ€" lowed by the banks. In closing his brief but very comprehensive address, Mr. Ennis made appeal both in the name of patriotism and on behalf of good, sound common sense, for the Kiwanis as a club, and the members as individuals, to help put the camâ€" paign over the top. "When Britain wins the war your money will be ready for you. In the meantime your money will be helping win the war. On the other hand if you leave the money in the bank you will lose it if Germany wins, and you will really be helping Hitlér by not investing. Step up now and help win the war, rather than take on." Dr. Saunders, of the Canadian Naâ€" bional Institute for the Blind, was the next speaker. A review of his address will be found in another column of this issue. He was introduced by Mr. D. B.
