Pupils of the Freehold Migrant
school, said to be the only Of it's
kind inthe nation, put on a closing

workers who come to this area
each year to harvest potatoes,
berries, and tomatoes.
The school, which opened July
20, has been conducted for three
summers, and has passed the ex-
perimental stage and is in the
demonstrative period, according
to Mrsr. Dorothy Jackson, it's dir
ector.
The school is operated by the
Migrant Labor bureau of the New

and Industry in cooperation with
the State Department of Flucat-
ion. The average daily attendance
was 40. The curriculum offered
a combination of reading, writing
and arithmetic. It's aim is "a
school for living"

Blind Vets ResoIute to Support
Civil Rights Legislation at Fourth
Annuu| Convention

WASHINGTON CAMP The
fourth annual convention of the
Blinded Veterans Association end
ed with a banquet and ball in the
Hall of Nations at the Washing
ton hotel last Saturday night.
Among the several resolutions
adopted was one supporting civil
rights legislation, whereby the
BVA aligned itself strongly be-
hind any move to further equal
opportunity for all people without
regard for race, color or creed.
The Blinded Veterans associa-
was founded in Avon, Conn.,, in
March, 1915, by a group of young
men who had suddenly lost their
sight while serving their country.
The primary purpose Of this or
ganization is to enable it's men,
bers to profit by the experience
of those who become successful
adjusted. This is achieved through
the friendly acquainted circle Of
member who freely discuss per-
sonal problems and solutions.
The BVA now has Fl active
state groups and others r in the
process of formation. It has been
estimated that around 1900 men
have already lost their sight due
to the service-connected injuries
sustained in World War II, and
the number is currently increasing
at the rate of 100 men per year
whose blindness is a direct result
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-09-21

of their wartime service. The or
ganization practices absolutely no
segregation or discrimination,
therefore, it invites to it's member
ship all veterans who lost their
sight during the last war, regard
less to race or creed.
Among the Negro veterans at
tending the three-day conference
here last week were Willie Trotter
of Comden, N. j., who is one Of
the charter members of the organ
iaztion. Trotter spent two and a
half years overseas where he saw
service in England, Africa, and
Italy. He had been in Italy a year
before he was hurt in a mine
explosion. He has just completed
a two-year training course in
Avon, where he studied machine
operation under the veterans vo-
cational rehabilitation program.
Other attending the conference
were Robert Routh of Memphis,
Tenn; Nathania Sutton, Tampa,
Fla, James Hope, Charles E.
Hughes, William Fowler, Charles
Johnson, Charles Reed, and
Thomas Mitchell, all of Washing
ton.
