WORLD'S
AIDED BY

Blindness is a scourge which
strikes everywhere. It may at-
tack any-of us at any time as a
result of an illness or an acci-
dent. But it strikes in varying
degrees in various parts of the
world. It is estimated that some
four-fifths of the world’s blind
population live in the under-
developed countries where ig-
morance and poverty are the
principal enemy.

The International Labour Or-
ganization is very much concerned
with the problem of training the
blind so that they can collect a
pay cheque and not be obliged to
depend on the charity of others.
Under its technical assistance pro-
gramme it has sent Welsh-born
Edgar Marland to Ceylon and

Mr. J. Asenjo of the United States,

BLIND
ILO

who is himself blind, to Brazil.
Open Industry

Mr. Marland is training 160
men and women in a workshop
near Colombo where they are
learning the traditional trades as
well as seven new ones which he
has introduced, Mr. Asenjo is
setting up a service at Sao Paulo
for rehabilitation, vocational train-
ing, sheltered employment and the
placement of the blind in open
industry.

These are pilot projects by
which the I.L.O. hopes to prove
that through training and the
matching of skills to jobs the blind
can become productive members
in the economic lives of their
communities,

President George Smythe of
Local 1-80, IWA, addressed the
Lake Cowichan Sub-Local La-
dies’ Auxiliary at a Banquet held
May 3ist, at Lake Cowichan.

Sister Kate McTaggart, Chair-
man of the Ladies’ Auxiliary was
convenor of the banquet which
drew praise for the excellent ar-
rangements considered the best in
years,

BETTER
WORLD
AHEAD

While we won’t be here a
hundred years from now, it’s
comforting to know that it’s a
wonderful world ahead. At least
that’s what eight top scientists
predicted recently in a sym-
posium on the next hundred
years which was held to cele-
brate the hundredth birthday of
a whiskey company.

The scientists were cold sober
when they predicted that we'll be
able to talk by mental telepathy;
that we'll never get emotionally or
mentally sick; that we'll make
food out of sunshine and get our
water and raw materials from the
sea and that we'll be vacationing
on the moon.

Nobody Hungry

All of this is ahead and more
too, provided that civilization
doesn’t destroy itself. There will
be seven billion of us here on
earth to enjoy it, and nobody will
go hungry.

What’s more, according to Dr.
Harrison Brown, professor of geo-
chemistry at the California Insti-
tute of Technology, the workweek
will be from four to eight hours
in length,

Science Marvels

A hundred years isn’t so long
as history goes. The marvels of
science are unfolding about us
more rapidly than ever and auto-
mation already is taking over
many tasks in the factory and of-
fice,

It would seem then that if we
are to achieve the wonderful world
of the future, we ought to start

iary; Mr. Percy Clements, Busi-
ness Agent of Local 1-80, and Ed.
Linder, Financial Secretary.

In his address to the banquet,
President Smythe pointed out the
important part played by the la-
dies in making the Union effective.
He spoke also on the large amount
of propaganda being mailed out
by the operators to Union mem-
bers’ homes.

It was up to the ladies, he stated,
to counter this false information
by keeping their friends and
neighbours informed on the true
