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.

ATTENTION, EX-SERVICE MEN
When the Clean Up Squad reaches
Columbia, S. 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.
