ACKNOWLEDGE FUNDS
FROM M-S-A MEMORIAL
SERVICE LAST SUMMER

Acknowledgement Gives
Details of Training

“We have just received a
Money Order for Fourteen
Pounds Ten Shillings and Four
Pence as a donation from your
Branch of the Canadian Legion.
Will you please accept our sin-
cere thanks. It is extremely nice
of you to remember our work
and help is immensely ap-
preciated.”

In this way Ian Fraser, the
chairman of St. Dunstan's, noted
institution in England for train-
ing men and women blinded: on
war service, acknowledges the
collection taken up at the M-S-A
Memorial Service, held at the
Cenotaph in Abbotsford last July.
The service is held annually by
the M-S-A Branch of the Cana-
dian Legion with the co-opera-
tion of the local churches and
the collection, which has been
increasing in recent years, is al-
ways allocated to St. Dunstan’s,

Mr. Fraser’s letter gives some
interesting details of the work
carried out at St. Dunstan’s for
the men and women tragically
handicapped through service to
their fellowmen. He writes:

“We have been very busy at
our hospital and training centre,
Quite a number of men have
been transferred to us from our
South Africa St. Dunstan's. We
are also getting cases direct from
North Africa and some months
ago four blinded soldiers who
had just been repatriated from
Italy came to us. A new house
has recently been opened. It is
a charming place in nice grounds
and has a swimming pool which
is a very great attraction. It
forms a part of our Training
Centre. The rooms are large and
airy and we have had work-
shops erected in which handi-
crafts are being taught.

“We have also had to open a
house for girls and women as
the number of these coming
under Our care is growing con-
siderably. Some of the girls come
from the Services and others
have been blinded by explosions
during their work in munition
factories. They have their les-
sons alongside the men, but in
addition they have special classes
in cooking and domestic subjects.
They are getting on extremely
well. One of them is hoping to
take up singing, another is learn-
ing telephoney and a_ third
favors massage. We find this
generation of St. Duntaners is
very keen on learning.” The let-
ter also mentions establishment
of a “Training Centre for Indian
blinded soldiers at Dehra Dun,
United Provinces,” where the
work seems to be going most
satisfactorily.
