of his address was "The Rehabilita
tion of The Physically Handicap
ped”
Money is being spent by this gov
ernment to equip the physically
handicapped to engage in useful
occupations. Statistics show that
the money is repaid ten fold in in
come taxes.
Physically handicapped persons
can fill some positions as well as
those with sound bodies. A man
who has lost a leg can be a good
bookkeeper. A persn who is par-
tially deaf can operate a machine.
Private industry has done much
in providing jobs for the physically
handicapped. The speaker gave the
Biblical illustration, the Good Sa
maritan and the paralytic at the
pool of Bethesda.
The physically handicapped do
not ask for alms, but for an oppor
tunity to care for and sustain them
selves. This the government is
seeking to help them do.
Guests present Tuesday were J. L.
McMullan anl Otis Brumbelow.
