"I've seen quite a change in the atti tude of people since then," said the Bronx girl of "21 plus" years.

Edu.'-id A. biiles, director ut the association's Easter sei2 occiely, said architectural barriers are a problem the handicapped face everywhere. He said that nationally there are more than 19 mil lion persons who are crippled so seriously their activities are curtailed. "More than 20 per cent of these people require rehabil itation care. . .but once reha bilitated, they face the prob lem of entering Into me oi the community," he said. "We hope that some day all public buildings will have at least one entrance without a flight of stairs, doors wide enough to accomodate wheel chairs. . ." Miss Schnur said In her re search she was interested In noting how much a normal oerson takes for arsnted, and how. much one small barrier can mean to a person on crutches or wheels. You know, there would be people in and out of a build ing every day, and when I'd ask about the number of steps, they'd say 'Now, you won't believe it, but I don't know. I'll have to go count'." Humor Illustrations are. done with humor by the artist Kirk Plowitz. The author, who lives with her family and does proof, reading for a regular income, said that the telephone is one of the greatest assets for the handicapped person. A call to the store, the beauty shop, res taurant or theater usually can Iron out any difficulties in ad vance of the actual visit. An Interesting note as far as New York City's marriage license bureau is concerned. Says Miss Schnur's guide: "Re volving door at the south end of the building will be opened on request."
