We who are blind have little or no magazine space devoted to our particular needs or aspirations. Civilization demands that information is readily communicable between its many component parts for it to survive. Blind people in the past have suffered because we lack this communication amongst ourselves. The National Federation of Blind Citizens is therefore totally committed to the principle of communication between its members. Therefore, in this, the first issue of our magazine, much of the items have been produced by the editors and a few of the members, but the future issues must contain items from blind people at large.
So let us look ahead to the near future, when the major problem facing the editors will be what to leave out. Let me now thank the committee who have worked hard to produce this magazine and carry forth the principle of communication between us all.
