CONSIDER BLIND AID EXPANSION
Members of State Council Will Discuss New Program Jan. 18.
A partial expansion of the State program for the blind will be discussed at a meeting of the Council for the Co-Ordination of Services for the Blind on Jan. 18. Walter L. Shirley, chairman of the Council, said that the program of placing blind persons in jobs may be expanded through methods to be determined at the meeting. All objectives of the Council will be discussed and special emphasis will be placed on the fight against trachoma, an infectious disease which is responsible for almost 10 per cent of the blindness in the State. Treatment Is Painless Trachoma, prevalent in the southeastern part of Indiana, is being treated with sulphanilamide. In! the past the treatment of the dis-| ease was painful and many people failed to take the treatments which were administered over a long period of time. The new treatment, using sulphanilamide, is painless and is showing “very good results,” according to Mr. Shirley. The idsease in itself does not cause blindness, but attacks the inside of the eyelid which in turn scratches the eye and creates scars which cause blindness. Of the estimated 5000 blind pergons in Indiana 2400 of them are) receiving aid from the State.
Pensibns Are Granted
To qualify for State assistance the recipients must prove that they are blind and that they are in need. Blindness, under the definition of he Welfare Department is sight vhich is 90 per cent from normal. After the person qualifies he receives a pension which may range from $1 to $30 a month. The pengion is to supplement any other income which the person may have. The money is derived from County, Federal and State funds.
