February Lfo 8 Designated White Cane: Week ~ Sponsored by Canadian Council of fhe Blind . “Be Wise, Take Care’ of "Your Eyes" may sound like an ald cliche but according to Gil Suter, CNIB representative in the Castlegar district, it's a. most necessary rule for modern living, “Most people take better care of thelr car," he'said In a special interview for White Cane Week.

He knows another who has been. blind: since’ the age of 17° because’ a teenager shot’ an etaslie at him from across the ‘oom, "You could bead out that these are only two cases and not. every accident, leads to blindness," Mr. Suter © ex- plained, “but./it's foolish to suffer an eye Injury needlessly when simple precautions can save the day.” - He told of one young man whose forethought in having his glasses;'‘made in safety lenses, saved an eye.
