Dougan, chairman of the West Kootenay Branch of the CNIB, for White Cane Week February 9-15. “No one knows the value of good sight better than the blind” said Mrs. Dougan. “That is why Canoda’s 22,000 blind citizens are supporting this urgent plea to the public from The Canadian Council of the Blind and The Canadian National Institute for the Blind sponsors of White Canc Week. They urge you to “Prize Your Eycs” as your star pos- session.” She explained that all the blind are: not actually totally blind, but according to medical and legal definition, they suffer a considerable loss of visual ef- ficiency and range from those who see to go about alone to those whe are totally blind. Some see everything in a fog with colour blurred and indis- tinct. Some see only a portion of the object if their’ visual field is limited, Others can spot a pin on the floor but miss the mov- ing van on the road. Still others misjudge distance and must re- align the object in their mind. For them reaching for a cup of tea or taking a hat off a table requires extra thought.
