Proclamation 3622 (full text) A white cane in our society has become one of the symbols of a blind person's ability to come and go on his own. Its use has promoted courtesy and special consideration for the blind on our streets and highways. To make our people more fully aware of the meaning of the white cane, and of the need for motorists to exercise special care for the blind persons who carry it, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved October 6, 1964, has authorized the President to proclaim October 15 of each year as White Cane Safety Day. NOW, THEEEFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 15, 1964, as White Cane Safety Day. I urge civic and service organizations, schools, public bodies, and the media of public information to join in this observance with appropriate activities designed to promote continuing awareness of the significance of the white cane to blind persons. I call upon all our citizens to make every effort to promote the safety and welfare of our blind persons on the streets and highways, and thereby to contribute to their independence of spirit and their capability for self-management. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed. DONE at the City of Washington this sixth day of October in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-four, and of [SEAL] the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighty-ninth.

TRANSCRIPT: Hello again! It's RP Dad with another life hack for people with low vision. So here we have a black filing cabinet that is beside one of our walkways. And while it might look bright in the video right now, that is not what I can see. So the black cabinet is dark obviously, and I see a lot of shadows around here. So, let's see what we can do about it.... There we go! I just grabbed a few extra light colored magnets off of the fridge and put them on here because this is a steel filing cabinet, so it just sticks right there And that just makes those corners pop out And that was it for this video. Thanks for watching! #RPDad #lowvision #diminishedvision #LifeHacks

Now I know if that dial says 86, then my settings should be pretty good. We got Heated Dry here... And it looks like it's set to Normal there. The lights on above it. Now I can see that better in the camera than with the naked eye actually. Then the thing I wanted to show you guys, was I just took a little sticker here right above the Start button to easily find that. You could also use, there's bumpers and things that you can get at different stores. But you can just take a little sticker then you know, you feel the sticker right below it is your button to Start. Alright, I'll see you in the next video. Thanks for watching! #RPDad #LifeHacks #lowvision #diminishedvision

TRANSCRIPT: Hello guys! Welcome back to RP Dad! Today I want to tell you about 1 of the life hacks that I have in my house. The night lights. Now you may be thinking that night lights are for little kids, but for someone with low vision, it can help point out important landmarks. Like this wall here in this hallway. Down the hall we have another one. So we got 2 points of reference here. And if we come down to this other one, we know exactly where the wall is. Swing back this way, you can clearly see where the hallway is. And for sighted people, you are gonna see a lot more light than I do at this point in my RP life. Alright, let's see what this looks like. Pull it out here. You can see it's just a pretty simple design. There is actually a light sensor on top here, and then a switch on the bottom to toggle 3 different modes. We have OFF, LIGHT SENSING, & ALWAYS ON. I prefer the ALWAYS ON, because if you turn it to the LIGHT SENSING, it sometimes doesn't light up very bright. It's kind of inconsistent. So just switch here... You can kinda see it gets brighter depending on how much coverage of light there is, so there is the option if it's too bright for you, or if you want that light sensing then you can use that. There's the OFF. And back ON again. So I'll post a link in the Description. I believe I got these off Amazon. So I'll see you in the next video. Thanks for watching! #RPDad #LifeHacks #lowvision #diminishedvision
