A PRAYER

Oh, Lord, to thee we hunbly pray,
Go with our own while they're
away.
Those who serve their home and
God,
And those who rest beneath the
sod.
Guide and guard them on the sea,
Bring mine safely back to me,
Help the wounded bear their woe,
Let them feel we love and
know.
Go with those up in the sky,
Guide their wings as home
they fly.
Help us, Lord, to plan to win,
To bring some out from the
paths of sin.
Be a tower of strength each day,
To those whose hearts, no long
er gay,
Must love a memory old yet new,
Soothe their hearts and bring
them through.
Help each one to bear his cross,
Keep fighting on, not counting
loss.
God bless each one in service
dress,
Lord, grant us peace and
thoughtfulness.
By Mrs. Ray Koontz.

Heauy-Tailed Sheep

Do you know that in the Near
East there are sheep whose tails
are SO large and ponderous that
the animals are provided with
small four-wheeled carriages in or
der to relieve the weight of the
tail and prevent it from coming
into contact with the ground?
The oriental passion for greasy
foods has led to the development
of this type of sheep in which the
latest portion of the animal, the
tail, combines excessive adiposity
with enormous length.

eye! The almost miraculous prog
ress that has been made in recent
years in artificial illumination has
driven men more and more indoors.
Sunset no longer marks the end of
the day. The quest for recreation,
and comfort continues with little
thought to the needs of the eyes.
"Of all human possessions sight
is among the most precious. AS
with most of natures gifts we take
sight for granted. Only when it is
injured do the majority of us sud-
denly make frantic efforts to
regain it."

en- rodS forming the skeleton of the
mat through which the different col
ored pieces are strung, are drilled
by a blind person, who possesses
a remarkable mechanical touch, &C.
cording to Mr.. Harold. Because of
this touch, Harold said, the blind
man can sense any imperfection in
the operation of the machine, and
then 60 about correcting it.
The mats themselves are strung
by the blind, who figure how many
pieces go into each one, and thereby
are able to judge just where the
colored beads are to be placed.
Trained in three or four weeks, a
blind person can average about 40
mats daily.
Also on the fourth floor is the
leather department, worked by Grip
pied and blind. Using discarded
leather scraps from shoe factories,
the crippled punch out fancy strips,
while the blind make holes, as for
the insertion of elastic bands for
suspenders.
Also on the fourth floor, the plant
had received, old looms, which it
was contemplating setting up for the
future production of yarn for mops,

younger handicapped people
coming to us who are broken in early
into useful social occupations, de-
velop healthier point of view than
the older people who have always
more or less been felt to be a bur-
den," Mort said.
Sometimes, the most difficult
problem is intoxicating the work
habit into some of the older people,"
Mort continued. "Laxity in coming
down on time, or sometimes not at
all, and of not producing at their
capacity are shortcomings of many
handicapped people which can only
be ironed out by careful handling,
since you cannot push them.
1--WE do not take all of the handi-
capped, of course" Mort continued,
but most of those that we do take
develop the work habit and become
proficient workers.
Because of differences in apti-
tudes and the need for stimulating
their efforts, workers are paid on a
piece-work basis" Mort said. But
even though their production rates
are high, they still usually fall below
the sighted standards. In those
cases, our products must sell at
higher levels on the market"
AS an indication of the skill and
earning power of many of the ILL
nois Industries for the Blind en-
ployees, some have been hired by the
nations busy war plants to assist
in the battle of production, while a
goodly number were only too proud
to take their place in line and pay
Uncle Sam an income tax for the

Sightless Can Make
Many Things, Such as
Sheets, Belts, Mops
By AL JEDLICKA
Released by Western Newspaper Unio,

Released by Western Newspaper Union.
On September 8, 1912, the ILL
nois Industries for the Blind, in
corporated four months earlier
as a non profit organization,
opened operations in an old four
story structure at 1910 South
NeWberry ST., on Chicago's his
toric east side.
Established by Edward S..
Molineaux, the institution was
designed to provide regular en-
ployment for the blind, partially
blind and crippled, rather than
the usual devices for passing
away time or meriting a dole.
By May l, 1943-nine months
after having been opened-the
success of the Illinois Industries
for the Blind was confirmed
when the United States mari
time commission awarded the
plant an an" pennant for out
standing production of sheets
and pillow cases for Liberty
ships, the first ever given to an
institution of this nature. Six
months later, the maritime COM
mission added to the honors
with the presentation of a gold
star, for lettering the previous
production and absentee record.
The enviable performance of
the Illinois Industries for the
Blind merely established Mr..
Molineaux's longtime convic-
ton on the capabilities of the
blind, partially blind and Grip
pied if properly encouraged.
Partially blind himself, Mr..
Molineaux's conclusions prob
ably were inspired by his own
experience of over Is years, dat
ing back to his education at ILL
nois' Jacksonville State School
for the Blind, and his subsequent
life work among the sightless.
Leaving Jacksonville, Mr.. Molin-
eaux took up the task of placing
blind switchboard operators in ILL
nois, and then he went to the east,
where he joined the Brooklyn As
ISOLATION for Improving Conditions
for the Poor. Over 100 years old, this
institution specializes in the assist
ance of the blind and crippled.
Eight Institutions in U. S.
Among those in the forefront of
the work to restore the blind, par
TALLY blind and crippled to useful
positions in society, Mr.. Molineaux
has seen the idea take a slow but
sure hold throughout the U. S.,
where eight such institutions now op-
crate, some under state supervision,
others, like the one in Illinois, un-
der private management aided by
popular contributions.
The restoration of the sightless
and disabled to useful citizenry re-
ceived its greatest impetus in 1886,
when congress passed legislation set
ting up list of products for the
government to purchase from blind
workshops. To facilitate the pro-
gram, the American Foundation for
the Blind inspired the organization
of the National Industries for the
Blind, to act as a clearing house
for contracts to the various blind
workshops.
In passing the legislation, congress
set up certain production standards
to be met by the blind plants, and in
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1944-05-05

On the third floor about 40 women
turn out sheets and pillow cases at
good speed, despite their handicap.
After two months of training, a wom-
an can put seams in about &C dozen
pillow cases a day. The hemmers,
who must have 10 per cent or better
vision, can finish about 80 dozen
cases daily.
An electric eye," shown below,
protects the operators from injury
by stopping the sewing machine
when fingers get too close to the nee
die and interrupt the beam of light
that must shine constantly while the
machine is running.
Those proficient in folding paper
caps can turn out as many as 986
a day and average around $3.50 for
eight hours work. There is not so
much skill required in cap making,
as there is familiarity, or feel, of
the paper.
Turning from the paper cap fold
ers, one comes to long assembly
line of blind filling little cardboard
boxes with parts of wooden dolls,
and then packing these along with
containers holding different water
colors into single sets. Holes in the
body of the wooden dolls into which
the head, arms and legs are in
serted are drilled by blind on me-
chanical equipment up on the fourth
floor of the plant. Ten workers can
assemble about 1000 sets a day.
Sheets and Pillow Cases.
One of the most interesting and
important of the plants operations is
on the third floor, where blind and
partially blind women produce sheets
and pillow cases.
Under full-sighted supervisor, 40
impaired women keep the latest type
sewing machines with necessary ad-
justments buzZing at top speed.
First, there are the women who
put seams into the pillow cases, be-
ing able to turn out about &c dozen
daily, after two months of training.
Machines are equipped with "see-
ing eye," which stops their opera
ton when the workers fingers stray
too close to the needle.
Then there are the hemmers, with
partially blind. with at least 10 per
cent vision being preferred for this
more exacting work of turning the
material over, smoothing and then
securing it. After six months train
ing, good hemmer averages 80 doz-
en- day, but blind person could
produce only half of this.
At the time the plant was visited,
a young woman was being broken
into the overlooking process of over
stitching on the outside to give bet
ter strength and appearance. Time
and again, she practiced guiding the
material to the needle natienflu
