CARE FOR THE BLIND.
AVORK BY DOMINION. AUCKLAND, Oct. 30. “Blind people in New Zealand are as well cared for and have as good a chance as any in the Empire,” said Captain Sir lan Fraser, M.P., the blind chairman of St. Dunstan’s, this morning. “There has been a renaissance in the blind world following the Great War; good has come out of evil. I have travelled all over New Zealand and met practically all the blinded soldiers who were comrades of ours at St. Dunstan’s. I am pleased to find them cheerful and occupied. They owe a great deal to the help afforded them by the people of New Zealand, and particularly to the Commercial Travellers’ Blinded Soldiers’ Fund, which has done splendid work. “Here in New Zealand no blind person lacks suitable education and training for handicrafts or a profession. No blind person lacks encouragement and help; no blind person lacks a friend. This is a proud record of achievement.”
