Tobacco Stands Answers
Job Problem for the Blind
Br HENRY J. 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.

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.

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
