SANTA BARBARA, Calf, Aug.
19.-Although he has been totally
blind for seven years, Julius Acosta,
IT,, is one of the most accurate plane
spoilers of the Civilian Defense
Councils organization here.
Guided to listening post near his
home in nearby Montecito by his
police dog, Partner, Acosta regularly
serves his watches. Trained by
friends to recognize types of planes
and their altitude by the sound of
their motors, he readily passed all
tests as volunteer spotter.
II have seen so many of the things
a man wants to remember, and the
images of them are in my memory"
said Acosta. Il think I am pretty
lucky because if had always been
blind I would not be able to recall
what things look like. My deepest
gratitude goes to those who bore
with me in helping me learn to
