Appeal on behalf of 'The Newport and Monmouthshire Blind Aid Society', by Councillor Cyrus T. Clissett.

One of the few charitable causes that appeal to all of us who have imagination and sympathy with the afflictions of other people is that of the blind. The curse of blindness is a thing of which we all have some experience; few indeed have never known or met one of its victims, and been impressed with the cheerful fortitude that almost always characterizes them. These memories will be a powerful aid to Councillor Clissett's appeal tonight.
