TWIN TOWN TALK

One Of the comparatively new
radio announcers in the Twin Cities
is a southern lad. Whenever he
thinks he's talking to an all-Cau-
casian audience he wakes hot and
heavy on the race problem. AS you
may guess, gentle reader, he's all
out for keeping Negroes in their
places" and such other tommyrot
which is used by the professional
sOutherner.
Now, said gentleman is certainly
entitled to his beliefs but we're
also entitled to watch him closely,
because he's now doing some spon-
sored radio newscasting and it's
very easy for race prejudiced news
commentators to spread their par
ticular brand of poison. We don't be-
Heve any manufacturer who uses
the radio and who sells his product
to the public wants to risk public
disapproval by paying a radio COM
mentator who is known to have
strong race or religious prejudice,
which might interfere with his OBJ
jectivity in news reporting over the
air.

SPEAKING FOR Myself
COF COURSE)


With no fight or wrestling match
booked this week, | personally
think the best entertainment and
most interesting hours I've spent
in recent months have been at the
Minneapolis Charter hearings at
the mayors reception room.
The meetings have been thrilling
because 50 many people are at last
taking an interest in our city gov
eminent. It's about time too be
cause if people really knew what
has been going on in that court
house all these many years, the
city and its many problems
wouldn't be in such a messy state
Of affairs.
have taken in all of the charter
meetings 10 date and it pains me
no end to see those liberals (now
don't get me wrong, I've been an
F.D.R. man even when | thought
he was wrongD battling it out with
the charter commission. re-
member when the Republicans were
name calling F.D.R. about being a
dictator, etc, and how those
liberals were all saying how ridicu-
lous and what not. Now those
very same liberals, mind you, are
name calling their own mayor,
mainly because the charter would
give him something to say in city
matters. Some Of them are even
saying that he would be dictator
with all that power. q. Yes, poll
tics makes strange bedfellows.
Now Pm not in the least mad
at the liberals, but since they are
the leading opposition to the char
ter, this may interest you. The
other night one Of those so-called
liberal councilmen Che's liberal with
other peoples money!, who acts
and lives the comforts of "A million
aire, attacked the charter and the
councils good record for more than
a dozen years he, he, he he,
who is he kiddin'? Saying that
the charter would give the mayor
too much power and that the finan-
cial conditions in Minneapolis were
in a healthy state Of affairs. In
the same breath vigorously OPP
posed to the charter.
Everyone has a right to his Opin-
ion and the debates like the char
ter meetings are something that
is democratic as can be. But
what inks us most is that less than
two years ago the mayor made
couple Of dozen speeches for this
same councilman and not only did
he help elect him but this same
alderman was afraid to make a
talk unless the mayor was on the
same platform. Did you say graft

ing it into the right trough. The students
are told how far apart seeds should be
planted and shown by touch how the dis
tance can be measured with their fingers.
Hearing plays an important part, also.
If the sound level of his flock of chickens
drops, the astute student detects dispirit-
edness that may be caused by disease. His
theory can be checked by sending samples
to the state testing Laboratories.
BY making maximum use of touch and
hearing students learn to do nearly every
task that can be done by sighted farmer.
oI,s Get q Break
GREATEST inspiration for students at the
school comes from Superintendent Fred
Ward. Blind since childhood, Ward has
been successful farmer for nine years. His
wife lends hand but insists that Ward be
given credit for the bulk of the real teaching.
The school, believed to be the first of
its kind in the world, has graduated IL
students and is training six more
four veterans and two Greek boys.
One graduate is successfully operating his
own farm in Kentucky with just the help
of his wife; another alunnus has started his
own poultry farm in Rhode Island with the
help of his parents. Others are working as
full-time farm employees.
Veterans now attending the school will
find it financially easier than their civilian
predecessors. Not only has the Veterans
Administration approved the school, but it
will allow two years of on-the-job training
benefits after the vet leaves Barnes.
Two Greeks, Sotiris Ghalatsis and Nicho-
laos Komisario, also have their farming
future assured. Brought from their native
land to learn farming at Barnes, they will
return to Greece, conduct similar school
for other blind people.
This, says Joe Lysak, should knock into
cooked hat that sarcastic old saying about
the blind leading the blind
Evening star., 1947-09-28

It's not easy to run farm
when you can't see it, but
that's what these blinded
veterans are learning to do
QUICKLY the youth filled two pals with
Z feed from the granary and walked with
assurance up the lane to the chicken range
where he fed and watered several hundred
hens. That task finished, he went down
to the meadow and drove COW into the
barn where he was soon busy milking it.
For city-born and city-bred Joe Lysak -
who had never been on farm until two
years ago-such accomplishments wouldn't
be especially noteworthy except for one
fact: Joe Lysak is blind.
The skepticism and uncertainty that this
EXCL harbored when he came to the
Barnes Farm School for the Blind in Henni-
ker, N. H., is gone. Today Joe is as conf
dent as pitchman in tank town.
When he discusses the farm he intends to
buy and operate when he leaves Barnes,
his enthusiasm soon overpowers the pity
you felt when you first heard of the Army
accident that cost him his sight. Joe, who
could easily retire on the government pen
sion given totally disabled veterans, has
plans for a full, useful life.
They Use Science
= HIS story is typical of the veterans at
Barnes. During their first year, they are
taught enough planting, animal husbandry,
beekeeping, poultry handling and other
farm tasks to qualify as competent farm
workers. At the end of two years they are
equipped to handle scientific management
as we'll as the practical end of farming.
In the classroom, students learn from
braille textbooks which feeds should be
used; in the barn they identify the feed by
the shape of the tag on the bag before dump
