most ruthless of fevers is the one known as spring fever it is moredis- jrbing in effect than say the mild little discomfort us- lly associated with the common cold it is even worse an the higher fevers which frisk and gambol about ns more violent maladies it is the most ruthless be- luse it always is out of control for some of the more violent fevers there are the jwer drugs and many of them can be driven away over ght but that is not true of spring fever the ruthless jthing will do away with spring fever except possibly je new arrival of summer and the fever at this time ht now is starting to sweep the country the annual indent ic is on new york times campaign for the blind to watch a blind person writing braille is one of the ost fascinating things you can see fingers move like rhihing and when you realize that the system enables e sightless to write down the same things we scratch it in pen and ink you feel a thrill beyond words the handy braille slate is compact enough to slip in- purse or pocket yet sturdy enough to support the edlelike stylus with which the tiny perforations are ade in the paper braille is not the mere embossing of the printed it a series of dot combinations each of which represents letter prefix or suffix the feel of each set of dots has i be learned by touch and practised over and over again itil the braillist cannot only write down the correct mbols but recognize them quickly when reading lessons in the art of braille are given as a cnib rvice by qualified teachers who are themselves blind id experts in the touch system of reading and writing braille requires several months of study heavy con- ntration and continual practice but to those who mas- r it a convenient and easy method of marking down ap- nntments telephone numbers and the thousand and ie little notes that sighted people make without giving e matter a second thought blind housewives even take vri recipes in braille over the radio and have built up 1 extensive touchtype cook book most cnib canteen aerators find braille an invaluable asset in keeping ack of their always changing stock and musicians with itience and meticulous care have memorized the intric- e scores of bach beethoven and other classical com bers from braille music thats why the canadian nat- nal institute for the blind is so anxious for the cam- iign to be a success contributions will keep the study braille alive and bring the benefits of this fingertip ion to blind citizens of this communitv please be s generous as you possibly can golden opportunity should not be missed a meeting is being scheduled for this week to discuss rection of flood lights for ball in the town park a finan- fcil offer large enough to practically install the lights said to be forthcoming from a local citizen and such generous gesture should most certainly be received iith open arms as to where and how the lights should installed the meeting of park commission officials th council and ball club executives must decide hpw- ver it would look only reasonable to have them erected n the present playing field where the stands are located oih hardball and softball can be played on the one dia- iond as is the case in other communities and in years to ome the lights could reasonably serve both tvpes of base- all it is to be hoped that the matter of location can be ettlecl amicably so that this fine opportunity will not be lissed many communities around us have struggled for veral years endeavoring to raise sufficient funds for ueh a project and stouffville is most fortunate if they m be assured these sport lights through the generosity f one of her citizens the average citizen in stouffville ontributes little or nothing to the sports endeavors in jwn as most are taken care of through charitable and rvice organizations local taxpayers were even saved e burden of providing an arena here and instead reap considerable tax harvest and utility receipts through a rivatelyowned ice plant there will be some cost of operation if the lights are stalled in the park and it would certainly be a small iken of appreciation to the donor if the town made at ast a tentative offer of reasonably cheap current cent- ss only a fraction the size of stouffville such as clare- lont and brooklin through citizen campaigns raised uflicient funds for lights and have no difficulty in main lining them thus this matter of maintainance should ot present any problem locally and certainly not if town fficials treat the generous offer that has been made in roper manner he
