Blind Children In Mexico
Found Using Roller Skates

Miss Tracy Copp, a 75-year-old
veteran of the vocational reha-
bilitation field, who has just re-
turned from helping the Mexicans
set up a program, found out she
still had something to learn
when she was down there.
Although. she retired from the
Federal Security Agency as as
sistant director of the Office of
Vocational Rehabilitation in 1947,
she accepted the assignment when
the Mexican government, early
this year, asked the Institute of
Inter-American Affairs for expert
advisory help.
While there she visited an in
stitution for blind children and
found that the boys had been
taught to roller skate.
This kind of training, Miss Copp
said, is excellent for developing
the rhythm and coordination of
the children and giving them
confidence.
Miss Copp said she has never
seen that sort of thing in this
country and plans to recommend
it's adoption here.

A Far East Air Forces spokes-

AS a blaster boss (bergsprang-

1900 crowns. a month (roughly
$780, This makes him one of the
highest paid workers in Stock
holm. A total of about 300 crowns
in taxes is deducted from the
monthly payroll, leaving net
earning of 1000 crowns.
Bills Amount to Four-fifths
The family budget, as the Solder
quists graciously and painstaking-
ly explained it to me, consisted of
the following necessary expenses
per month: rent = 125 crowns;
food = 400; union dues = 12; in
surance policies = IS crowns; tel
ephone bill = II; light and re-
frigerator = Is; gas : s crowns.
This totals 597 crowns.
In addition there were miscel-
laneous expenses such as bus
fares, amusements and other in
cidentals which they said totaled
roughly 200 crowns a month.
Their approximate expenses in
the main then totaled about 800
crowns, leaving a monthly surplus
of circa 200 crowns (about 40
dollars). Mrs Soderquist explained
that she would have to dig into
that surplus in order to buy
clothes. She also pointed out that
their rent was among the cheap
est in the city, considering that
they lived in modern apartment
house with all the Swedish con-
veniences (washing machines for
collective use in the basement.)
She thought her food bill allowed
for good meals but no particular
extravaganza.

Their apartment contains only
one room, a kitchenette, too small
to give the housewife comfortable
elbow room, a very small bedroom
in which the bed nearly occupies
all the space. a small hall and
bathroom. Mrs. Soderquist had
sought to exchange her apartment
with someone else by replying to
ads in Dagens Nyheter, the larg
est daily, but to no avail. Now
that she was about to have an
other child, or rather twins, the
community housing bureau would
provide them with a larger apart

to raise the standard of health

Security Counts, Too
Perhaps many other Stockholm
ers with the same earnings can
fare better than the Soderquists,
but hardly to any great extent.
And most of the city-dwellers have
