Original Toronto Star caption: Blind for 29 years; Florence Carter reads what she has written on her Braille typewriter. She usually has a neighbor mark her ballot for her-or her husband Lloyd; who can read the names with a magnifying glass. However; the Carters differ quite often on choices. It's my duty to vote; she says.
