Miss Schnur. confined to a

Second Work
This Is Miss Schnur's second
work on the subject of inter
est to the handicapped, telling
what buildings have ramp
facilities,' whether there is
one, two, three or four steps
involving in getting in and
out of a building. In short, a
report on architectural bar
riers the handicapped person
faces.
The first was in 1958. "I've
seen quite a change in the atti
tude of people since then,"
said the Bronx girl of "21
plus" years. "When I was do
ing research on the first one,
I'd ask about the number of
steps or width of a door. . .
would a wheel chair go
through. . .and they'd hang
up."
"Now the attitude is quite
changed."
Did Research
M! Schnur did research
by telephone and through vis
its, and friends supplied addi

guide, which is published by
the Association for Crippled
Children and Adults of New
York State, Inc.
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."
