COINS FOR CURSING: James W. Kearns (right) and his wife, proprietors of the Union Bar at 122 W. Liberty St., suggest to patrons using profanity that they drop some money into the bar's Lions Club canister for aid to the blind. They have accumulated enough to make some sizeable donations to the Leader Dogs for the Blind School at Rochester. Yesterday at the Lions Club Luncheon William H. McCready (left), blind Law School student at the University, presented the school's certificate of appreciation to Kearns. McCready's leader dog "Storm" was trained at the Rochester school.

LIONS PREPARE FOR FUND DRIVE: Ann Arbor Lions will conduct their annual limited mail solicitation for funds as a feature of White Cane Week, May 4 to 10, but small change collected in their canisters about the city also helps in the club's program of aid to the blind and others with sight handicaps. Here, Lion Lawrence F. Webber (left) and Joe Pagan, manager of the Ann Arbor Recreation bowling alleys, check contents of a Lions' canister filled by local bowlers.

Gerald Lutz, 19, (left), who has only 20 per cent of normal vision and uses a white cane to get around, learns some of his lessons at Ann Arbor High School by listening to wire recordings. He takes notes with a braille slate. The wire recorder has been furnished him by the Ann Arbor Lions Club, sponsors of White Cane Week this week. Prof. Raymond L. Garner (right), Lions blind committee chairman, recorded Jerry's history book. Jerry can then do his homework by listening to records.

'SPOT' SERVES HIS MASTER WELL: Charles W. Spooner of 513 Elm St., a blind consulting engineer, has been guided for about a year now by "Spot," a Dalmation leader dog obtained through sponsorship of the Ann Arbor Lions Club. To aid blind persons, the Lions Club assists them in obtaining leader dogs and carries on an educational campaign about use of the white cane. Both state and city laws prohibit the use of white canes except by persons wholly or partially blind. The laws also require drivers and pedestrians to stop on approaching or coming into contact with a person carrying a white cane, and to take such precautions before proceeding as are necessary to avoid injury to the person with the white cane. To inform and remind people about these laws, the Lions Club, in co-operation with the city police department, is sponsoring "White Cane Week" this week.
