THE NATIONAL Y SECRETARY Dear Young Folks: This month we haveeone of the most interesting and vital topics for study namely, "Alcohol as a Medicine?" Pages 13-16. One im- portant fact that. we have learned is that alcohol depresses rather than stimulates the heart. - Fdbruary is the month oi hearts, which is a good time to have a Valentine Party. Your study period could be worked in nicely as a panel discussion as suggested below and would be quite suitable as part of yam" party programme, also the follow- ing suggested contest. with every good wish to you in all your plannings for "a good time with a purpose."

Urges Seeing-aye School In Canada VANCOUVER, March 4 — (C?) -- A school in Canada to train “seelng-oye" dogs was urged by Mrs. Lorna Barclay, former home tcacher of'thc Canadian Institute for the Blind. in an address here. She said few 0f the Dominion! 15,000 blind can nlford to import the trained United Slates dogs. "It. costs Canadian blind people $560 for a "seeing-eye" dog from the United States," she said, "while United States sigillless citizens can get them for $150 and pay only $50 for a replacement where that is necessary. There is no special provision for replace- ment ln the case of Canadians." Hcason for the dlfierence in cost was the fact that the training school in Morrlstown, N. J.. was heavily endowed so far as Ameri- cans were concerned. It costs $1,- (IXI to put the German Shepherds through their nine-week ‘training course. ‘These dogs, like my Nikki, give blind people a great feeling of independence and make them feel like normal human beings. . .It would be a wonderful step forward if Canada could establish a school to train the animals. ‘IIORONIIO, liilnrch 3 -—(OP) _.
