For 21 years he was a member of the legislature, all but a few of those years a cabinet minister. Never was there a harder worker for the public, than George Pearson. He made his job his life, until his health broke and he had to retire. Now he lives in Victoria, and it's good to see him making a physical comeback. He visits the downtown section of the capital nearly every day, though his sight isn't good, and he's impatient of his infirmities.

IT IS always inspiring to hear of that high ad-I venture of the heart which carries individuals beyond the limitations imposed by physical handicaps. A Helen Keller who sees and hears so much inore. than most people with normal sight and hearing helps break down the concept of man as so much animate matter. '$ Likewise Miss Ethel Kimbel, a"music teacher fuom the Illinois School of the Blind who has started off alone to "sight-see"' in 1 Kuropean cities, shows an intrepid zest that many a lone traveler without her -.handicap might envy. With itinerary, tickets, and reservation coupons marked in Braille, she eonl idently faces the challenge of diverse languages, customs, and currencies. J We are sur4 that Miss Kimbel, with such a spirit, will see far. more of the beauty and meaning of the places she visits than many a jaded or superficial tourist, blind to the human situation of the people through whose midst he moves. ; For there is an insight, derived from inner resources, that owes nothing to matter.
