Hh Oy ® add fun to "For grown-ups and This is the season when Mardi Gras masqucrades are held in many European countries, This year, why not delight your fam- ily and friends with a Valentine party? Volunteers aid E blind students VANCOUVER — During White (| Cane Week, February 4 to 10, ‘ the Canadian National Institute for the Blind is publicizing the work done by sighted people in Canadian cities who have » learned to write Braille in order to provide blind students in sighted schools and universities with Braille editions of the text ooks listed on their courses. Blind Canadians owe a great deal to these people, for it is now possible for blind students to ob- ; tain an cducation equal to that ‘of the sighted and even have a career in law and social work and other occupations. -» From a beginning of one small - glass in 1958, the volunteer tran- scribers have grown to more than 100 Braillists, They have tran- scribed books, pamphiects, ex- _t¥acts. The subjects covered a varicty of topics — law, chemis- try, mathematics, foreign lan- guages, diet shects and a, mail order catalogue — all-have-been transcribed. _ ‘Volunteers spend many hours avweek learning the Braille sys- tem which is based on the mul- tiple combination of six dots. Ss They write with a specially de-! signed writer that looks like a typewritcr. Instcad of a large key board with each letter fixed on a corresponding key, the Braille writer has only six keys, cach corresponding. to a Braiule _ dot in the six-dot cell. Blind persons enjoy the movies and the theatre. Last year in one city alone more than 4,000 sses were distributed for the ovies, Other cities kept pace. Admitting two, the pass recog- Mized the importance of an ¢s- ‘@ort to fill in where dialogue falls short. . ++ Numerous blind -persons have ‘television sets in their homes ‘and enjoy the entertainment. Sighted members of the family report on the visual. Partially- sighted persons find TV football, golf or hockey much more “see- -able” than the real thing.

Colorful costumes can he easily stitched from fabric rem- nants; imagination can give sandwiches and cakes a “hearty” look; and party decorations and even prizes can be stitched from scraps. Costumes in a Valentine mood include cupids, saints, queens and kings of hearts, Valentine cards, or even playing cards sprinkled with hearts. No sewing 'is more fun,, nor easier, than that of fashioning costumes. As the latter will’ be worn but occasionally, sewing experts advise us to put our cre- ative effort into the concept and overall effect. Perfect fit isn’t essential, nor is careful finishing. To facilitate the creation of costume, plan it for wear over leotards. Then a front and back section can be made and joined over the shoulders. For instance, a playing card costume can he produced from white broadcloth fitted over poster board lNning. For a Valentine party, taffeta ,hearts can be appliqued to the | broadcloth in the. heart forma-~ {tion desired and red bias tape |used for definition. A ruffle can be produced from a piece of or- ganhdy trimmed with red. satin ribbon. For the headpiece, look to the aras, or long ropes of beads which can be twisted into cor- onets. To give your home a Valen- tine atmosphere, combine some red garlands or branches (eft over from Christmas) with simi- lar decorations in white. For the table, use your zigzag stitch to add a bright red cotton fringe to an inexpensive white cloth— or applique hearts to the cloth. Games in a Valentine mood include mimicing romantic songs or plays such as “Let Me Call You Swectheart’” and “Cyrano de Bergerac.” Give guests a list of famous lovers—with the let- ters scrambled—and ask them to unscramble. Prizes can be home- sewn heart-shaped pin cushions, red satin hanger covers, white handkerchiefs appliqued with tiny hearts.
