Lions To Participate
In ‘White Cane Days’
A local spokesman for the
Coleman Lions Club said today
that his club unanimously voted
to participate in “White Cane
Days” to be observed March 14
through March 22 this year.
White Cane Days, a long
standing Lions International
project, can be traced back to
1925 when Helen Keller chal-
lenged the Lions of America to
band together to serve the
blind and others with impaired
vision. Mrs. Keller, who had to
overcome numerous physical
handicaps, called her inability
to see the greatest of her
limitations. This concern of
Lionism grew, starting with the
blind and near blind until it
included those with failing
sight. It has continued to grow
as Lionism has grown from a
national Ho an international
civic organization.
One of the first steps of
Lionism was the white cane,
which makes the blind person
more mobile. It was proposed in
1927 by George Bonham, presi-
dent of the Peoria, Illinios club.
Today it is not only a symbol
stating that the user is blind,
but it is also a tool of sight-by-
feel for the blind and near blind.
White Cane Day, as such,
began in 1951 when Warren E.
Green inspired his fellow Mon
terey Park, California, Lions to
invite their neighbors to share
in the clubs sight-serving pro-
jects by contributions to a

Miss Thomas
Is Chamber
Secretary
Hired in December, the
secretary of the Coleman Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce is

uate of Mankato High School,

Miss Thomas was office as-
sistant to the superintendent
while attending high school and
spent a year and a half as
secretary to the principal.
She then spent six months as
secretary/receptionist in the
Career Development and Place-
ment Service at Emporia State
University, Emporia, Kansas.
While attending high school,
Nora Jo spent a good deal of
time coordinating special acti-
vities programs for students.
She is currently residing at
1016V* S. Frio in Coleman.
Nora Jo is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William R. Thomas of

Lions Sight Conservation Fund.
They inaugurated a tag day
called “White Cane Days" and
raised $500.00.
The next year, thirty neigh-
boring clubs asked for the little
canes and joined the move-
ment, and over a hundred clubs
the year after that. Today,
thousands of cities regard
“White Cane Days” and the
hundreds of sightserving pro-
jects that drives make possible
as a part of Lionism.
The first state wide White
Cane Day drive in Texas was
held this past year. Thirteen
districts, 14 Lions Eye Banks,
and 200 clubs and hundreds of
Lions. took part, making an
estimated $70,000 available for
