She came over and sat on the arm of his

up and saw that she was staring at Yo-Boy
with look of exasperated disgust.

Norris felt righteous indignation. THAT

fine to me. His mother was Yo-Girl, and

Miriam was probably right, in certain limited
fashion. Last spring Yo-Boy had been pretty
peppy. Maybe this spring he would come to
life again. No crime in living long time.

After all, this was his family. And they kept
them in little cages. Miriam had certainly
fouled up what had started as a pleasant
evening
When she called them to dinner, and the
kids came tromping down from upstairs.
Norris was still worrying about it. He as yet
had been unable to think of any firm and
decisive defense against Miriam's suggestion.
Chucky, aged ten, had to be shooed off to
wash his hands again, while Alice, age eight,
displayed spotless hands and flashed look of
feminine disdain at the abused-acting Chucky.
In the first available conversational gap, about
ten minutes later Norris glanced meaning
fully at Miriam and said, "A big red setter is
pretty good sort of dog" He was suddenly
confident the children would back him up.
Chucky stared at him. What did you say
that for?''

MIRIAM gave Alice stern look, and Alice
got up languidly to help clear the table for
dessert. When the dessert appeared ice cream
with hot chocolate sauce, Chucky made ami
NAL noises until he was shushed. Miriam was
looking at Norris with meaningful triumph.
Norris told himself it had to be accepted. He
picked up his spoon. then set it down. Chucky

cream.

IF A HOSPITAL accident

TT A HOSPITAL accident
had not blinded Alice
Rohrback in infancy, it is
probable that thousands Of
blind persons all over the
Nation would find their lot
more difficult today.
BY one of fate'S odd twists,
1t has been Miss Rohrback's
privilege to help hundreds Of
sightlesS persons along the
difficult road to renewed hope
and self-sufaciency.
Employed as a Braile spe-
cialiSt by the Division of the
Blind of the Library of Con-
gress, she has made reha-
hilitation of the blind both a
full-ti job and an od-hours
project since 1898.
Miss Rohrback spends her
work week In Washington and
her week ends in her native
Braddock Heights. Nd, just
north Of Frederick. (She COM
mutes by bus.) She began
her work for the blind as di-
rector of Braille for the Ma
tional Red Cross program, in
cooperation with the Library
of Congress, in 1888. At the
same time. she was employed
by the library as a Braille ;
specialist. In l943. urgent
demands for war services
forced the Red Cross to give
up its program for the blind,
and Miss Rohrback went to
work full time for the library.
A unit head in charge of
the production Of handicapped
Braille volumes, Miss Rohr-
back juggles q complicated
production schedule Of hun
dreds of books, in all stages
of completion, parceled out
among thousands of volun-
teer workers over the Nation.
Evening star., 1953-01-11

needs of blind persons, hand
copies are the only answer.
The Nationwide network of
volunteers under the direction
of Miss Rohrback's unit does
this job. Using a machine
quite like a typewriter, each
volunteer tranScribes selected
books from the printed word
into Braille.
This is slow, difficult work,
for the paper used is about
the thickness of a MANILA
folder Ito stand wear, and
each printed volume tran
scribes into several volumes
of Braille.
After the volunteers type
out the Braille manuscripts,
specially-trained proofreaders
correct them. The proofread-
ers are all blind persons. high
ly skilled in reading Braille.
Miss Rohrback's assistants in
charge of training the volun-
teers via a specially-written
correspondence course) are
Mrs. Bernice Brown and Miss
Maxine Bates, both of whom
are blind.
In choosing books to be
handicapped in Braille, the
accent is put on self-help
books as much as possible"
says Miss Rohrback. "For
example, FIFTEEN Ways to
Make Money In the Coun-
try and RABBIT Raising for
Food and Fur have proved
highly popular with blinded
war veterans who are seeking
to become self-supporting.
"Of course, books to be read
for pleasure are hand-tran-
scribed, too. Good examples
of these are Folk Laughter
On the American Continent
and Will Cuppy's 'HotO to Get
From January to December"
Evening star., 1953-01-11

The books are available,
free, on loan to blind persons
all over the Nation. One blind
Howard University graduate,
Denny Carter, has ample
cause to be grateful to the
Library of Congress volun-
teers. Wishing to study music,
he found that there were no
books available In Braille.
Miss Rohrback's volunteers
supplied him with the basic
books he needed to 60 through
college and gain a degree in
music. The books also have
proved of value to other blind
persons.
Miss Rohrback's efforts on
behalf of the sightless are
not confined to working hours.
Take the example Of a promi-
nent veterinarian in Frederick
who lost his sight. Miss Rohr-
back spent many week ends
teaching him Braille and
helped him to gain that i'm
portant link with the outside
world. From her cheerful
personality, he determined to
put his specialized talents to
use. He worked up a series
of discussions on the proper
care and feeding Of farm ami
mails which he delivered over
the local radio station. Area
farmers said it was q great
help to them.
Another beneficiary of Miss
Rohrback's help Is a Frederick
man who went blind after
holding a responsible job as
an executive In a brush fac
tory. Feeling that his life was
over, he became depressed.
Miss Rohrback cheered him
up, taught him to read Braille.
Today, he operates a home
business and Is entirely self
supporting.

To get a rough idea of what
hand-copying Braille books is
like, imagine a library in
which each volume Is individ-
ually typed on a typewriter.
instead Of being printed.
Pressed Braille books, the
equivalent of a printed book
for persons who can see, cost
a great deal of money to pro-
duce. Only a limited number
can be made, and these usual
