THE DECATUR I’tAILT DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Seek Home For Aged Blind In Indiana Sightless Piano Tuner Heads Drive INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Erskine Miller is one man who believes the blind should lead the blind. This 3tr-year-old sightless pfano technician is helping to spearhead a drive on behalf of a state home for the aged blind. Miller is president of the Marion county unit of the Indiana association of workers for the blind. The LAWB has units also at South Bend, Fort Wayne, Marion, Muncie, Anderson, and New Albany - Jeffersonville. The seven units are jointly sponsoring the drive. April 24-30. Miller explained that of the state’s estimated 6.000 blind, possibly 60 percent of them are over 60 years of age. “There is no home for the aged blind in Indiana and it’s very hard to get into a good convalescent home if one is blind. We feel that once such a home for the blind were built, it would become nearly self-supporting. “And the persons in it would have the advantage of a home built with their disability in mind and staffed by persons trained in handling the blind.” Miller hmiself has earned his living since graduation from the Indiana State School for the Blind. He said most members of the IAWB also are self-supporting. Miller himself has earned his which includes his wife, Edna, and their two sons, all.of whom have normal vision. Edna met her goodlooking. blonde husband at a church both attended. The father said frankly that he and his wife had worried about, having children, and had consulted several doctors about the chances of their offspring being born blind. But both Eugene. 7. and Mark, 3, have normal vision, and for Miller, his family is the most important thing in the world. The Millers plan many outing* together and hope to take a vacation trip to Washington, D.C. They have an automobile, which Edna pilots. Miller’s blindness is not total, since he can distinguish light or white objects directly in front of him. His disability is due to a condition known as retinitis. His brother and his sister have the same difficulty, described as pigmentary degeneration of the retina. - However, Miler’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elsworth Miller, of Evansville, have normal vision. Miller began work for the Wliking Music company in Indianapolis as a piano tuner and reconditioner upon graduation from the

state school for the blind, which he entered after completing the first four grade* of behool in Evansville. He also worked for a time as an instructor at hia alma mater. In addition to the home for the aged blind. Miller and ether members of the IAWB hope some day to establish an adjustment center for teen-agers being graduated from the state school for the blind to help them make personal adjustment to the job of living in a world made for sighted persons. But the home for aged blind, is the most Immediate objective. How much money is realized by the White Cane campaign next week will determine how near or how far away that objective is. Governor George N. Craig has issued a proclamation calling attention to the week. White plastic canes will be sold on the street as part of the campaign. Eisenhower Favors Award To Dr. Salk Highest Honor For Civilian By U. S. AUGUSTA, Ga. (INS) —President Eisenhower hopes Dr. Jonas E. Salk will be the first American to receive the highest honor the U. S. can bestow on a civilian. The Chief Executive let it be known through a spokesman Monday that he feels Dr. Salk’s achievement in discovery of the polio vaccine merits his consideration as initial recipient of the award. Mr. Eisenhower will express the nation’s gratitude Friday to Dr. Salk at a White House ceremony which also will honor Basil O’Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. If congress acts in time, the man whose efforts marked the beginning of the end of the crippling scourge of polio will be presented with the nation's first medal for “distinguished civilian achievement." The award, a civilian counterpart of the medal of honor for military valor, was proposed by Mr. Eisenhower in his state of the union message before the dramatic results of the Salk vaccine wer* known. Legislation authorizing it will be introduced in both houses of congress this week, with a number of senators and representatives from both sides of the aisle joining in sponsorship. The medal, if the President's recommendations are approved by congress, would be bestowed on civilians making great contributions to the advancemene of civilization and of the nation.

Craig has named Sid Cleveland, Anderson attonrey, as Judge of the newly-created Madison county superior court No. 2 The court was created by the 1955 general assembly after legislators from the county said it was needed to lessen the case load on other courts.

Humphrey (D Minn.), says he wants agriculture secretary Kara Taft Benson to take steps right now to prevent a possible serious break in the soybean market. Humphrey asks Benson to do two things: 1. Extend the maturity date for commodity credit corporation loans on soybeans from June 30 to Sept. 1. 2. Authorise a so-called reseal program which would permit farmers to carry soybeans under loan over for another year in their own storage space; that is, on the farm. , Extension of maturity dates oh loans, as such, would be a new policy for the agriculture department. However, the government has made frequent use of reseat programs with respect to corn, wheat and other grains. Department officials are known to be extremely anxious to keep soybean prices on an even keel, especially since a great many farmers are likely to plant more acres than usual to the crop this year. Soybeans have been regarded as a good substitute for other major cash crops whose production is cut back this year by acreage and marketing controls. —■ Humphrey pointed out that a price rise in soybeans last fall occurred only after most farmers

TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1965

had already sold the beans they were not putting under price-sup-port loans. The senator wrote Benson: "Our producers of soybeans are seriously concerned over the threat of further price declines this summer at the very time commodity loans are maturing. On top of the sharp price drop since last fall, there are Indications that a price; depressing market glut may occur in the next two months. :“Many farmers have found their soybeans stored on the farm have taken on moisture, and wil lhave to be sold or dried soon. Also, the CCC loans made on beans last fall are now due for payment or delivery of the beans to the government by June 30. "Unless some immediate steps are taken, this combination of cir- * cumstances coming on top of an already depressed price condition could completely break the soybean market.” If, as Humphrey reports, beans stored on many farms are taking on moisture there would not be much possibility of a reseal proA gram. The government doesn't use this device unless the commodity in question is in top condition to weather another year of storage. But the senator insisted that it seems grossly unfair to compel farmers to well their soybeans at the low ebb ot the market if they wish to repay their loans. - He said it also seems unwise for the government to build up its own stocks ot the commodity by calling loans when the farmers might pay off the debt it a later maturity date were provided.
