Election Battles Loom

A lively battle for election to of-| fices in the state organization at] the convention is indicated by early campaigning. W. Carl Graham, Ft. Wayne auto dealer, is the only announced candidate for state commander and there are indications he may be unopposed. It has become the custom to alternate the state commandership between the southern and northern halves of the state, and to alternate between the two: major political parties. The - present state commander, John A, Watkins, Bloomington publisher, is a Democrat and hails from | the southern one-third of the state. Mr. Graham, a Republican, is chairman of the Legion's state Americanism committee and has] been active in Legion affairs for many years. Stiff competition looms for the] various other offices. Lyons Makes Bid Probably the strongest battle will! be over the post of national execu-

Blind of 1st War Lead New Victims Along Path of Hope

Times Special

| LONDON, May 13.—The blind of

World War 1 are leading the blind

of World War II in Great Britain!

today. At St. Dunstan's, famous hospital and home for the war blinded at Shrewsbury, instructors who lost their sight in 1914-1918 are teaching the blind of the present conflict to build their blighted lives anew. St. Dunstan's has been writing new chapters in ‘its history as an institution of mercy since the siege of Britain began after Dunkerque. In the first World War most of its patients were fighting men, but in this one it has many civilians—fathers, mothers and children—as well. It is no easy job to rehabilitate these victims of blitz warfare. Many have suffered bomb shock, have Jost friends and relatives. Many others have lost more than their eyesight. . Recreational activities provide the easiest first step toward bringing such patients back to emotional stability, St. Dunstan's believes.

Capt. Sir Ian Fraser, the hospital’s chairman, himself blinded in the last war, puts it this way: “We want every one who comes under our care to learn to live as like a sighted person as possible.” To this end, no one is allowed to sit in gloomy silence. Talking book | machines are provided for new ar|rivals. For those who have learned {to read Braille, there is a well- | stocked library. Included on the St. Dunstan’s program are dominoes and -darts, croquet, rowing, “clock | golf,” dancing. All these help to build very necessary self-confidence. When patients have been acclimated, they are taught useful trades such as carpentry, weaving, massage. St. Dunstan's has found that experienced blind craftsmen are often the best teachers of the blind. The hospital's constantly increasing program to aid the war blinded is being aided by donations from the British War Relief Society in America, which has pledged a min-

imum of $100,000 toward its sup-
