London, Feb. 7.
A society has been formed in London which will have the whole- hearted support of all who are interested in services to humanity. It is the British Empire Society for the Blind, which will deal with problems of blindness in the British Colonial Empire.
Five years ago a committee appointed jointly by the National In- stitute for the Blind and the Colonial Office, sent investigators to the (Colonies to review the whole subject. In 1948 their findings were pub- Bished in a White Paper that shocked all who read it. The Society that has now been formed is a direct outcome of these investigations.
