Roncertfor i bund people Next Monday evening, September j 26, at the auditorium of the high school a concert will be given for the benefit of the South Carolina Association for the Blind. Lovers of music and fun will find a rare treat await- j ing them. There will be vocal and in- j atrrmpntal music. iokes, mimics and j wv* ? - ' artistic paper tearing. The concert will be given under the auspices of the School Improvement League, which will receive part of the receipts. An admission fee will be charged. The South Carolina Association of the blind is said to be doing a splendid work in the cause of making the sufferers self-suporting and giving them something useful to do. A circular letter, printed below gives some details of the work: Dear Friend: Believing that you are sufficiently interested as to be willing to render assistance for the promotion of the cause of the blind of the State, I am hereby calling your attention to the noble work being done by the blind people in South Carolina. In South Carolina there are be tween 1,00 and 1,1U0 Blind people, Dyi far. the majority of whom are unem-I ployed, which means that these unfortunate individuals are receiving their support from parents, relatives or friends. The idleness and inertness which are so often thought by many sighted people to be characteristics of the blind as a class is an unjust accusation. The unemployed blind of South Carolina are yearning fior an opportunity by which they may become independent and self-supporting citizens. It is only the lack of opportunity that is responsible for thd helplessness of the bliftd as^a class. Blind people are* absolutely normal except for the lack of their physical sight. The blind, like their sighted friends and relatives, are not gifted alike. It is unreasonable to believe that any blind man can become a John Milton. It is equally absurd to think that every sighted man should possess the talents of William snaicespeare, tnereo-orc, mc blind citizens of South Carolina, like their sighted friends, must have various ways provided by which they can make their support. Last July the blind people of the State held a convention at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Columbia. We organized what is known as the Columbia Association for the Blind of South Carolina. The purpose of this Association is to promote the general welfare of the blind in the State. On September 27th the Columbia Association for the Blind of South Carolina opened the doors of its workshop with a class of four pupils. In this workshop, the blind men and women are taught to make baskets and fiber furniture of every description. It is a course of six months training, which is given free of charge vto any whit^ blind man or woman of good moral standing, residing in South Carolina. After completing the course in the shop, the pupil is then made a self-supporting, independent citizen. We are dismissing a class of twelve pupils on the first of July, another class of fifteen will take their places and still it leaves us with a long waiting list of men and women, longing to become independent. The men and women are now earning from $12.00 to $15.00 per week, which brightens their lives and makes them feel as if they were worth a little something in the world. This work needs your attention and cooperation. Please- give this your Jnynediate consideration as our treasury is very low. The Columbia Association for the blind of South Carolina cordially invites visitors to its workshop at No. 3 431 Calhoun St., Columbia, S. C., at all times. If any contribution is raised, please make check payable to C. A. B. ofS. C., and forward same to E. R. Murray, 338 West Hampton Ave., Sumter, S. C. Yours truly, E. R. MURRAY, Field Secretary.

C., on September 23 to get action on the claims of veterans of the World War, its biggest problem will be to get in touch with every ex-service man in this territory, who has a right to governmental compensation. The Squad is composed of experts from the various government bureaus, the Red Cross and the American Legion. They are familiar in every detail with the workings of the War Risk Insurance Act, and various features of the different plans of hospital treatment, medical care and rehabilitation work in general. As soon as they establish personal touch with the veterans, they are prepared to put machinery in motion at once to get for them what is coming to them from the government. In this work they have every assurance of whole heartJ ed cooperation by the .authorities in Washington. The plan of campaign of the squad contemplates the avoidance of lengthy j correspondence and annoying, time killing red tape, by getting at first hand all information as to each indiidual veteran's case and the machin-! ery is well oiled to get results once it is put in motion. However, the greatest problem that confronts the workers is the establishment of personal contact with the men they would serve. Many of the veterans, in lots of cases, those most deserving of governmental aid, are illiterates. They don't understand even the meaning of "compensation," "rehabilitation" and "vocational training." Many are located in isolated districts where a newspaper is rarely seen. These men would be tremendously anxious to get the benefits of the aid that the government is glad to give, if they knew that the Squad is right at their doors to get it for them. For this reason, the members of the Squad ask that everyone who knows of an ex-service man who may be entitled to aid, get in touch with him and inform him as to when and where the squad will be, and as to what the Squad is anxious to do for him. Squad headquarters will be glad to receiveany information as to any veteran and will use every energy to get. in touch with him during its stay in Columbia. S. C.. Disabled veterans who report to squad headquarters will be furnished with transportation back home and meals and lodging as long as they have business with the Clean Up Campaign .It is necessary for every veteran to bring along his discharge. In addition to local cases, the squad j will take up the affairs and claims of. veterans cf Fairfield, liichland and Lexington counties while in Columl r? r WITH THE LEXINGTON CIRCUIT j Appointments for Sunday, September 25th, 1921: ! 25th, 1921: Red Bank?Sunday school a-t 10 a. m., J.
