After the 1600s, canes became fashionable for men to carry as part of their daily attire. New rules of etiquette were formed during this time. To break this code of behavior was considered a violation of good manners. In 1702, the men of London were required to have a license in order to carry a walking stick or cane. Cane use was considered a privilege, and gentlemen had to abide by those rules or lose the privilege One example of a cane license reads: You are hereby required to permit the bearer of this cane to pass and repass through the streets of London, or anyplace within ten miles of it, without theft or molestation: Provided that he does not walk with it under his arm, brandish it in the air, or hang it on a button, in which case it shall be forfeited, and I hereby declare it forfeited to anyone who shall think it safe to take it from him. Signed________. (Source: Lester and Oerke Accessories of Dress, Peoria, IL. The Manual Arts Press.) The White cane is tool for independence and a symbol of our sight impaired citizens. The origin of the white cane has it's beginning in the time between the two World Wars. James Biggs of Bristol claims to have invented it in 1921. After losing his sight and feeling threatened by traffic near his home, he painted his walking stick white to be more visible to motorists. Ten years later, in February 1931, Guilly d'Herbemont began a national white stick movement for the sight impaired in France. In May of the same year the British Broadcasting Company suggested that white sticks should be given out to the sight impaired, and that the white stick or cane should become a universal symbol to indicate that a person was blind or visually impaired. In North America, the Lion's club sponsored a similar movement. After World War II, a dramatic change was made in the way white canes were used. Doctor Richard Hoover developed the "long cane" method of cane travel as a means to help blinded veterans return to a more functional lifestyle. The white cane began to find its mark in government policy at this time. Peoria passed the first special White Cane Ordinance in December 1930, granting visually impaired pedestrians special protections and right-of-way while carrying the white cane. In 1964 Congress passed a law that allowed the president to declare a National White Cane Safety Day to promote awareness and use of the white cane. Lyndon B Johnson became the first president to declare October 15th as White Cane Safety Day. Since then, most presidents have continued to recognize this day as a day to remember that the main barrier that the disabled face in our society is that of discrimination. The White Cane is not only a tool, but also a staff that recognizes independence. We will not sell your email address, and you can unsubsribe at any time.
