February 1st. The Seeing Sound is a Sunday program for the blind ette W eak, and the CetooaMaa of Van couver, Washington, all gave permission to be read aloud. To m»ke the blind's dream of The Seeing Sound a reality has taken the financial support of concerned organiza tions, foundations, businesses and indi viduais. A membership in the Fnends of KBPS (a tax deductible contribution of $15.00 or more) also assists in the underwriting of the special K B PS Sunday Programs, as well as the daily morning and the handicapped. The program grew out of a request from the past president of the Oregon Council of the Blind, Greg Robinson. Robinson heard KBPS mikes in action at the National Conference of the American Council of the Blind in the summer of 1972 and »rith the then presidents of the tw o Portland chapters, asked D r.
