Blind Carpenter of Nassagaweya Builds Own Shop

John Henry, a 32 year old ex serviceman who lost sight in a train crash, runs his own carpentry shop on the third line near Brookville. From rehabilitation in Toronto he became a self employed craftsman, building cupboards, window frames, doors, tables, lamp stands, and other work without vision. His mother Mrs Withiam Henry recalls his early struggles and notes his success as the only known blind man in this area to operate a powered shop and a business, with steady demand for custom pieces and future opportunities.

New Detergents In Livestock Feeds

Two year review finds limited feed value from synthetic detergents in livestock rations. Lethbridge experiments with lambs and rabbits show no improvement in growth or feed efficiency when detergents were added to 1000 pounds of feed. Other stations report little positive effect and note differences from soap-based wash water impacts. Detergents are mainly considered as spray aids rather than direct feed supplements.
