Blind War Veteran

Soon to Be

By LLOYD B. WALTON Times Staff Writer FRANKLIN, Feb. 18—Losing his eyesight hasn't altered Stanley Barnhizer's ambition. He wants to be a schoolteacher. And the 27-year-old World War II veteran is rapidly approaching the realization of that ambition. He lacks only a few hours more than one semester's work to get the A.B. degree from Franklin College. Then he will take spetraining for teaching blind children. Stanley, who lives at 206 E. Adams St. -in Franklin, began losing his sight in 1946. Army doctors attributed it-i{o an inflammation caused by scarlet fever ‘which he had as a boy. The disease left scars on the retinas of the eyes, causing the

Unable to read the lessons himself it was necessary tg get someone to read to him. His wife, Betty, does this occasionally, and he has a regular reader who comes to the house every night to read the lessons to him.
