Narrow escape.

in bush mishap

Clift Renton, 50-year-old
limber with J. M. Brown Log-
ging of Lac La Hache, had a
miraculous escape Tuesday last
week when a tree fell on him
while at work.

It was five o'clock in the
afternoon and time to quit as he
walked along a fallen tree,
limbing it as he went. Renton
thought that his partner had
gone off duty and it seems
likely that the latter thought
Renton too had left the scene.
However, his partner decided to
fall one last tree and did not
see Renton from where he stood.
The tree struck the limber from
behind, felled him to the ground

and his life was saved by the
fact that the tree was held clear
as it fell across the one on
which he had been standing.

Catman Don Roxberry and
bucker Dick Flynn were close
by and rushed Renton to War
Memorial Hospital. He frac-
tured a bone in his mouth and
suffered contusions to shoulder
and face. He is now feeling
very comfortable.

Week focuses
attention on
Canada’s blind

White Cane Week is being
observed across Canada this
week, but it is not a financial
appeal.

The purpose of the weel is to
encourage persons with sight to
give some thought to those who
have no sight, to learn of their
achievements, and how to help
them in everyday living.

The Canadian Council of the
Blind, which is the constituted
voice of blind Canadians, gives
these suggestions:

When talking to a blind per-
son be natural. He or she is
interested in the same things
that interest you.

Don’t try to avoid the word
“see” in conversation, blind
people see with their minds.

Always lead or guide a person
using a white cane across the
streets, making sure he is going
in the right direction before you
leave him.
