March 14, 1955 School Head Speaks for Lady Lions Phoenix To focus attention cn the problem of educating blind children, Phoenix Lions' Club auxiliary sponsored a pro gram and silver tea Thursday evening at the Community club house. Walter R. Dry, superin tendent of the Oregon State School for the Blind, was guest speaker. He was accompanied by Mrs. Dry and Mrs. F. ' L. Thompson, third vice-president of the Oregon Lions' auxiliary. Superintendent Dry explain ed that the state course of study is followed in the eight ele menta'ry grades and the first year of high school at the school for the blind, since this insures that pupils returning to public school can make the change with little difficulty. Piano and voice lessons are given to all who are interested, he said, and also told of the physical educa tion courses, which includes swimming instruction. Crafts, homemaking and shop classes are part of the daily schedule. Classes are pre-vocational rather than vocational, he added The school is in session nine months of the year and. children living near may go home for holidays and weekends. Superintendent Dry states that it is the purpose of the school to put into the lives of blind children the varied ex perience necessary to make them well-rounded, social in dividuals and to help them realize to the fullest extent their possibilities for happy, useful lives. "The big problem is convinc ing the public that visually handicapped children are not helpless children," he said. Members of the various Lions' club auxiliaries throughout Ore gon have as their chief project holding of a summer institute for parents of blind children. The institute, started in 1949, has proven helpful, it is stated. During the 10-day institute, par ents of blind children live on the campus of the school at Salem and attend lectures planned to help them in the care and edu cation of their children. Volunteer auxiliary members baby-sit with the children while parents attend the institute. A motion picture taken at the in stitute last year was shown Thursday night.

"Greater participation in pub lie life by women might improve the quality of government. I cannot recall a woman failure in American public life." The senator declared that the nation's political structure is "geared to men" and "there is no real effort to cater to the spe- Kite apologize For every time you've bent your dimpled knee or put those dainty hands in soapy water, call us knaves.- We honestly thought you knew all about the wonderful new easy way to care for floors.
