FOUNDATION FOR THE BLIND
Need For Greater
Income
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, April 14.
The Foundation for the Blind would need a greater income, but he was sure the public would respond. said the director (Mr E. W. Christianson) in his report to the annual meeting today.
Additional accommodation costing £50.000 was being built in Auckland, and a similar project, to house 48 elderly blind persons, was under way in Christchurch. Sales of goods made by blind people in the foundation’s workshops increased last year from £55,456 to £70,000. Mr Christianson said, and the foundation’s job replacement service had been active from Invercargill to Kaikohe.
Mr Kibblewhite and Mr G. C. Riddell, who retired from office under the board’s rotation scheme, were re-elected.
