Tltottglt strlvllv limited by his schedule, which allowed no limc for loitering at any point, the Field .\lar.~lt:tl took every opportunity of making llfifsOllill contact with our people. This was particttlarlv appreciated by the crowds 0n Queen Square iii front of the Provincial Build- ing, wltcn he walkctl within arm's reach of them all, along both sides, pattsing to oblige every amateur photographer with a “close-up" and waving to little boys and girls in the friendli- est fashion. lle ltad just then come from rc- ceiving an official welcome in the Confedera- tion Chamber, and had seized that opportunity to say how pleased he was with the Guard of Honour, and the warmth of his Prince Ed- ward Island welcome. He \vas also evidently delighted by the fine tttrttout of veterans of both sexes at Victoria Park, where he talked personally to every one on parade, and seem- ed quite reluctant to leave.

There is nothing remotely resembling the traditional “brass hat” about Viscount Mont- gomery. His modesty and genuineness are the traits that strike one first and foremost. From the moment of his arrival at the airport, his

fhand waving in friendly greeting, he struck a note of complete informality. That's the way we like our hcrocs in this country. He seem- ed- almost apologetic about the ro\vs of ribbons on his chest, though it is more likely that he never even thinks of them. He was in Can- adian battle dress, and he had on his old black beret. It looked like the same one in which he chased Rommel out 0f North Africa, with the badges removed. Pct-hat)! it W115!

Yesterday's whole programme functioned as smoothly as clockwork, a fact due in no small measure to the capable supervision of LL-Col. \V. \V. Rcidi, D. S. O.

Helping The. Blind

The annual report of the Canadian Insti- tute for the Blind has just been issued and might well be made the subject of study by those interested in working with handicapped persons other than the blind. ‘

For the past tlircc years the institute has done the ‘training and directed the rehabilita- tion work for those hliudcd in the war 0n be- half of the Department of Vcttratifi’ Affairs-

A few figures about the achievements of a single ycat‘ are revealing. The number of reg- istered blind ca=<~s at the end of hiarclt was 13,- 884 for all Canada. 'l‘he number 0f cases serv- 6d during thc year was 12,688, The W995 of service provided itirlttdcd. social service, 9,192; eye .5g|-vi(jg, 1,073; lllllllfi ifiiiClllflfl, 862} SHICS‘ room, 1,630; library 1,530; employment 1.296; concessions, 7.524; allowances, 2.121; general service, 5,400.

In prevention ‘work the institute has been equally active as the following facts allow: Registered prevention cases to March 31 l85b 34,827; number of cases served during ‘the yea,’ 2,606, 11mg wcrg 1,361 who benefited from cye examinations; another 2,254 51'0"‘- glasses or artificial cycs.

used the pen name of Boris Sherashcvski. Mr. Brown gave evidence before the committee. But the whole field of accusation was not covered. Mr. Br0\vn was especially concerned with the destruction of batteries and the refusal m sell to individual buyers but only to junk deal- ers.

R. C. A. F. evidence denied the charges and offered cost figures to show correctness in some of them. But the whole field was not covered and presumably the enquiry will be continued.

The main point, says the Free Press, 1's that Mr. B_rown called attention to a condi- tion of wastefulness and the evidence showed that such wasteful practices had existed and the committee condemned them. On the other point made by Mr. Brown, that there was a refusal to sell to individual buyers, the com- mittee 'I'6C0lIllTi(‘il(l(’(l the spcedv- disposal of equipment by “salcs-at-tlte-sitc” and selection of materials to meet “short supply" conditions in civilian goods."

Grave concern has been caused among N.B. producers and shippers of seed potatoes by the announcement that the Special Products Board, Ottawa, had decided to discontinue its opera- tions in connection with the niarketings of cer- tified sced in South America, Central America and the West Indies. Failure of some o_f the shippers t0 co-operztte with the board is given as the cause of the action. The board had agreed to continue this year subject to the full co-op- eration of the shippers being secured. This was agreed to by all the shippers, but appar- ently some 0f the shippers had not stood by their bargain whctt the price had been set and this lack of co-operatioit was given as the rea- son for discontinuing operations. m i- x it
