Many Ideas

For Tourist

BY RALPH CAMERON Guardian-Patriot Staff Writer

While Prince Edward Island is steeped in history, and as played a large role in the for- mation of Canada, many people feel that not the least of the his- toric events and items are the ‘things’ people knew and used in the distant past.

It has been suggested to the P.E.I. Tourist Association that eellars and attics of Island hom-

es, as well as storehouses and barns in rural area, should be scoured in a search for wood- en articles, which played so

large a part in Island home life in the early days of settling. OLD SPINNING WHEEL

The spinning wheel is widely known to all and there still are many of them in Island homes as decorations. Few are in use as there are probably few wo- men today who would know how to use one.

However, it is the many oth-

er articles made of wood which should be hunted down, collect- ed and carefully preserved. For instance, how many can even remember the wooden porrin- ¢ger on the meal tables of long ago?

A suggestion has also been

advanced that in catering to the tourist who likes to fish, there should be definite areas mark- ed with tourist association signs telling the angler that he may fish there. LACK OF SIGNS

But that again brings up the recurring plaint of ordinary Is- landers, as well as tourist oper- ators, regarding the lack of ade- quate signs throughout the province. Whether this is gomething to be remedied by the department of highways, or that of tourist development, makes little difference to the motorists. But in view of the many complaints, it would ap- pear that something should be done quickly before the 1962

Care Of Eyes Stressed In World Health Week

“In the world today, there are at least 650,000 blind children,” explained T, Kays, president of

the Friendship Club of _ the Blind, “‘but only 40,000 of them are going to school.” In a CNIB

salute to World Health Week, now under way, Mr. Kays drew attention to the Canadian rec- ord of blind school children.

“Of our 1,700 school - aged blind children, about one hun- dred complete high school each | year and either go to work or enrol for higher education,"’ he

said. ‘‘With CNIB's help they become self-supporting and an asset community."’ CNIB estimates that in 1961 blind Canadians earned more than $3,000,000.

‘It is difficult to appreciate the human significance of fig- | ures, ’ Mr. KaKys said. are more blind people in the

city, of Calcutta than in He i of Canada.”

“During World Health em Canadians should do thre things: they should resolve . take care of their own sight and to see a doctor at the first sign of eye trouble: parents should make certain that children get a check-up when any eye coi dition appears; everyone should learn about the serious eye

troubles of the world and do every thing possible to keep Canadian standards high.” “Preserve Sight Preven: Blindness,” the theme for World Health Week, now under way, has a meaning for all of us when applied to eye acci- dents,’ stated P. Bower, Charlottetown, of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, “In Canada last year almost 300,000 industrial eye accidents occurred while others happen- ed on the farm, They brought with them untold personal suf- fering, wasted working hours and serious economic losses.

“An accident can happen in a second and destrov a lifetime o* useful work and independent living,” he pointing out several constructive methods avoiding eve accidents. “If you work in industry, on dangerous operations, wear safety glass-
