teach them new training
techniques developed by the
armed forces to deal with
sightless war veterans.
Mr.. Riggles was stricken
with scarlet fever as a child.
Corneal ulcers formed on both
his eyes and he became blind.
In 1928 he graduated from the
Maryland School for the Blind,
Overlea, Md. He learned to
walk alone and to read and
write in Braille. Then his
sight began to return.
Mr.. Riggles became an in
terror decorator for a Wash
ington department store, and
by the time war came his
vision was good enough for
MIN to be accepted by the
Army. As soon as his back
ground was learned he was
assigned to Valley Forge Cen
eral Hospital in Pennsylvania,
which became the Army's
center for treating blind war
casualties. He joined the VA
two years ago.
The greatest handicap a
blind person has to overcome,

Huntington Park, Calf. - On
February 10, West Coast officials
of the National Brotherhood of
Operative Potters negotiated and
signed wage and working agree
ment with the X. T. & X. Pot
terry Company of Burbank, Calf.
Until recently this company has
been operating an art and novelty

employed in the plant, however,
the owner and general manager
Mr.. John o. Taylor, indicates the
plant will soon be under capacity
production, giving employment to
large number of skilled tradesmen.
Mr.. Taylor's long years of ex-
perienee in the industry, together
with his aggressiveness, should
make for an up and going indus
try.
