1-The Indianapolis Recorder, April 7,1962 '|hi Fool Christmas Dimer' Addressed by City Councilman
Uy CHARLES S. PRESTON City Councilman Thomas L. Haubrook was the principal speaker at an “April Fool Christmas Dinner'* on Saturday afternoon at the Good Samaritan Studio for the Blind, 211 W. 21st. Hr. Hasbrook, wno lost nis sight when wounded during World War II, gave an interesting talk on “Sceing-Eye Dogs,” spiced with many humorous anecdotes. The popular Republican Councilman stressed the varied activities the blind can carry on and the contributions they can make to society, if they have determination and are given an opportunity. TELLING THE STORY of a Hindu who solved a complicated problem by the loan of his elephant, he said. “If you and I who are blind can lend our elephants of understanding. we’ll help other people make a lot of progress and in the end get our elephants back too.” More than 25 persons attended the dinner given by the Happy Hour Club for the Blind. A true Christmas feast with turkey and all the trimmings, it had been postponed from Dec. 25 because winter weather made it difficult for sightless members of the club to get around the city. Mrs. Eva Herkamp, a home teacher for tne Indiana Agency for the Blind, was mistress of ceremonies. Haywood Hemphill is president of the club and Mrs. Mary Ball is secretary. THE CLUB’S ORGANIZER and
moving spirit is Mrs. H. L. Burton, wife of the pastor of Phillips Temple CME Church. M r s. Burton—who incidentally cooked the dinner—was named to The Recorder’s Human Relations Honor Roll last January for her work with the club. The group is entirely and wholeheartedly integrated. In respect to questions of race and color, the blind see better than the sighted. The studio was opened in October. 1960, as a clubhouse and gift store, Mrs. Burton told this writer. Articles handmade by the blind, as well as other goods, were sold to pay the club’s expenses. But on April 15. 1961, the “Streets of Fear” took their toll as thieves broke in and stole about $600 worth of merchandise. At one time a blind woman was in charge of the store. This arrangement had to be given up because of shoplifters. THE STUDIOS ACTIVITIES as a store have been curtailed, although donated articles still are handled on a continual rummagesale basis. The studio now is maintained by the sale of hats which Mrs. Burton makes and the proceeds of lessons she gives to blind children. The lessons are free unless the parents are in a position to pay. There is also an elderly Eastside woman who makes a monthly donation of $10 toward the $50 rent for the headquarters, Mrs. Burton said.
