Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-10-24

aircraft plant, blind man, be-
cause of his unerring accuracy
in detecting the burrs, has been
appointed supervisor TO check on
the metal parts being turned out
by the sighted workers.
One of the most remarkable
demonstrations of the usefulness
of blind people in the war effort
can be found in a New Jersey
factory that makes condensers
for airplanc and tank motors.
Five sightlcss workers have
been hired TO replace WORKOUT
machines that were used for
measuring the thickness of eX-
tremely thin sheets of mica The
machines are no longer available
but il has been discovered that
the blind workers with their
sensitive fingers can check the
sheets as accurately as the deli
cate mechanical devices.
Not all blind workers are in
war plants. over 1000 such han
dicapped men and women are
now turning out goods for the
Army and Navy in SO shops OF
the National Industries for the
Blind in % states.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-10-24

alongside their fellow workers
who have normal vision and in a
test the other day they We're
found 10 more than hold their
own, and in certain operations
were even better.
Today there are Is blind peo-
pie working at Lockheed Their
Seeing Eye dogs bring them 10
the job every morning, skilfully
guiding their masters through
the intricate aisles and buildings
of the plant.
This scene is repeated every
day in hundreds of other war
plants throughout the country.
At the big Ford factory in Dear
born, Michigan, for example, the
blind sort out rivets, bolts, nuts.
and other small parts that go
onto airplanes, tanks. machine
guns or some other war winning
tools.
Much of the success scored by
these blind workers is due to
their highly developed sense Of
touch and their power of con-
centration.
For example, in the "dehurr-
ing" department of a large Texas
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-10-24

in regular industry as well
Typical of the many big war
plants hiring blind workers is
the Lockheed airplane factory at
Burbank. California. where the
pictures on this page were re-
Gently taken. Lockheed officials
have worked out a program with
tire Hazel Hurst Foundation
whereby the latter provides
sightless workers for their as
sembly lines.
Most of the sightless persons
now employed. like those shown
in the accompanying photo
graphs, have a background of
mechanical experience All were
trained thoroughly for their spe-
cific Jobs. But before they were
taught. Miss Hazel Hurst, the
sightless president of the founda-
ton, insisted on working per
sonally at every job for which
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-10-24

1T HAS been a standard 4-F
gag that draft boards will
reject a blind man only If
there is something wrong with
his Seeing Eye dog.
This joke is funny, perhaps, as
applied to the Army, but it's
lost its humor in the field Of
war production where thousands
OF sightless men and women arc
led to their work benches by
such guide dogs every day.
Very few people realize the
tremendous amount of war work
turned out by the blind. In hun
dreds of plants throughout this
country, men and women who
have spent all or much Of their
lives in the dark are giving all
they've got TO back the attack.
This important contribution is
not only carried on at institution
operated factories all over but
