WELL CARED FOR
NEW ZEALAND’S BLIND “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, A 1.1’., the blind chairman of St. Hmistan’s, at Auckland. "There has been a. renaissance in the blind world following the Great War; good lias come out of evil. I have travelled all over Now Zealand and met practically all the blinded soldiers.who were comrades of. ours at St. Dnnstans. T am pleased to find them cheerful and occupied. They owe a. great deql 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 np blind person lacks .suitable education and training for handicrafts, or a- profession. No tnl persfm lacks* ’'encouragement and p; no blind person lacks a friend, is as a proud record of achievement.”
