cieS. etc. After that accomplish
ment. she worked to have an
oculist appointed by the Public
Health Department to examine
school children's eyes. For three
years. she worked to have a law
passed in the District that would
require drops to be used in the

the late beloved DR.. William H.
Wilmer Of the Wilmer Institute
of Johns Hopkins Hospital. Mrs.
Worries said, "He lent me the
prestige Of his name. and through
his sponsorship, the D. c. Society

Mrs. Worries took a census and
found that there were $50 adult
blind people in New Orleans
who were unframed and were
capable Of training. Some had
never been outside their own
homes. She first arranged con-
certs for their benefit so that
they could meet each other and
have q little bit of social life;
she paid friendly visits to the Ill
and bed-ridden and developed
readers for the blind in hospitals
and institutions; she found an
instructor who volunteered to go
into the homes Of the blind and
teach Braille or give industrial
training and then she returned
to st. Margaret's Daughters for
funds for the instructors trans
portation and materials. In 1921
she initiated the establishment
Of sight-saving classes in New

MaSon-Dixon line. Next she eS-
tablished an industrial workshop
for the blind. Space for the
workshop was secured from the

said, I see your sign is addressed

How are you?' Then we went
up the line and shook the hand
of every sign holder. They had
to take their hand of the sign
to shake hands. Dick talked to
the head man and asked some
pointed questions. like where
the money came from for the

Seminarians AssaiI
McCarfhy's Tactics

A group of seminarians at
Episcopal Theological Seminary
in Alexandria has dashed out at
Senator Mccarthy. accusing him
of acting on principles that are
hostile to freedom"
Their views were contained in
a Statement of Conviction"
which they delivered at the
White House yesterday for Presi-
dent Eisenhower. On the state
ment were signatures of LAG stu
dents and 18 faculty members
and neighboring clergy.
In part, the statement de-
clared:
We believe that Communists
hold principles hostile to free
dom. We believe it unmistak-
ably true that Senator Mccarthy
acts on principles that are also
hostile to freedom. We believe
he has tended to intimidate loyal
members of the Government as
we'll as members of the teaching
profession and other individuals
and groups"
The statement concluded that
members of the executive and
legislative branches of Govern
ment who are now speaking out
of conscience in opposition to
Senator Mccarthy deserve pro-
found praise and encourage
