BECHTOLD United Prut International New York-fflPB-The tobacco stand has proved the answer to one of our more serious unemployment problems the blind. The small stands, which specialize in cigars, cigarettes, magazines, loft drinks and food, have enabled more than 2,000 blind people to lead vir tually normal lives and to be independent. These people have become taxpayers, good businessmen and women, and good citizens in the proudest sense of our American heritage of inde pendence, according to Presi dent James P. Richards of the Tobacco institute. The efforts of the 2,111 blind tobacco stand operators in fiscal 19S9 produced total net income of $6,578,151. Ave rage earnings were $3,354, but they ran much higher in many area s as much as $6,038 on average in the dist rict of Columbia. 4-H uevs Kapr Kids The Kaper Kids 4-H Dairy Goat club held its pre-fair July 25 at the home of the leader, Mrs. Don Lindstrom.

Robert Richardson of Ash land and Earle Jossy of the extension service were the judges. Gary and Leta Nor ris won the second award for this meeting. Ron Smith Reporter And this enterprise is grow ing steadily. In 1950 approxi mately 1,400 tobacco stands were operated by the blind in federal, state, municipal and private buldings, accord ing to figures of the office of vocational rehabilitation. U.S. Department of Health, Educa tion and Welfare. By 1955 the number of stands had increased to 1.560 and at the end of fiscal 1959 it reached 1.982. Some stands have more than one operator. California by far has the most blind tobacco stand operators, 191, followed sur prisingly by Alabama with 119. New York is third with 116; Texas 114; North Caro lina 93; Ohio 2; Pennsylva nia 91; Tennessee 88; Florida 86, and Louisiana 82. Following the District of Columbia in the highest ave rage net proceeds per opera tor are Maryland $5,088; Cali fornia $4,968; Oregon $4,704; Pennsylvania $4,608; and Colorado $4,464. Training of the tobacco stand operators varies from state to state but has im proved tremendously" in the past decade, according to Louis. H. Rives Jr., chief of the division of special services to the blind in the office of vocational rehabilitation. Streral Wetki to Train The rehabilitation service and corresponding agencies in each state help build and maintain such businesses. The Randolph-Shepard act of 1936 provides for 'free space in federal buildings, together with funds for equipment and initial stock. Training of operators takes from two to six weeks, and is financed through the voca tional rehabilitation act. Rives explained that the blind stand operator learns the exact location of each item in his stock. He can put his hand almost instantly on a particular brand of cigar ette. This seriously handicapped operator also learns to make change swiftly by touch. The blind can readily tell the dif ference between coins by feel. But all paper bills are alike, and no can can tell a $10 bill from a $1 bill by touch. Accordingly, blind business people assume that a bill giv en to them by a customer is a $1 bill unless the customer tells them differently. On this score. Rives said, "the public is almost 100 per cent honost. The American Association of Workers for the Blind, Washington, has added con siderably to the prestige and development of the blind busi ness people in recent years. It now is preparing for its an nual national convention in Miami Beach, Aug. 28-Sept. 2. 2.7 Million Given To Oregon State During Past Year ' Corvallis A total of $2, 730,753 was presented to Ore gon State college during the past year in gifts, grants and scholarships to set an all-time record, President A, L.

Hart it Jtrry t rtply: By JERRY LEWIS Wrilttn Exclutlvtly for UPI Ever s i n c e . 1 retaliated against what I considered an incompetent TV reviewer a few years ago, I have been ac cused of waging all-out war on all TV critics. I have been described as a rebel, a maverick and sev eral other things not even THAT complimentary. I would like to set the rec ord straight. I have no arguments with qualified reviewers, but I do have a king-sized disdain it the recently promoted office boys who have no training or background in the entertain ment world but who, through some strange quirk of fate, have, been elevated to the rather responsible position of deciding what the American public shall watch In the pri vacy of their own living rooms. I have seen some of these pseudo - intellectuals destroy an entertaining show with no other purpose in mind than to display to their readers their ability to turn a clever phrnsc Says Somt Dishonest I also accuse some of the reviewers with being some what less than honest. A classic example of that is when one revlewcr-not your- self-wrote three scathing par agraphs about a segment of one of my shows this season. You ask what's strange about that? Well, the only odd thing about it is that the part he didn't like was a filmed seg ment I hnd shot in England and was never used on the show! This little episode hasn't helped inspire my con fidence in this particular re viewer's honesty or integrity. Another type reviewer I de spise are those pin-brained beauties who for one reason or another have formed a per sonal dislike for certain per formers and who use their columns to vent their person al spleen. 'Wattt of Tim' ; I, personally, will never un derstand how a publisher or managing editor of a metro politan newspaper can allow this to happen. I have always been under the impression I that news space was a most I precious commodity. 11 o w those In charge can allow this wanton waste of time, effort and space is beyond me. I would like to close my dis sertation by asking a quesllon. What is the purpose of televis ion reviews? 1 have asked this question of many of the ranking reviewers and even they don't agree. It strikes me a TV review Is similar to de scribing a dead horse. If the reviewer says a show is good and the reader missed il, the reader can only feel frustrated. If th reader has Highway Group To Call For Bids Sulcm ("I'D - Rebuilding of the Powder Hlvcr bridge in Baker and 7.70 miles of grad ing on die Pacific highway south of Eugene were added Wednesday by the sliilo high way commission In a call for bids In be opened Aug. 10. The two projects bring the seen and liked a show and the reviewer knocks il, the reader can only assume the reviewer is as nutty as a fruit cake. In either case, there Is nothing he can do about It.
