young person.

accept referrals from physicians,
hospitals, welfare office, schools

“One of the most valuable
parts of our program,” Allen
says “is that we can assist the
handicapped with funds for ob
taining college training. The
program decreases dropout
figures and offers incentive for
college education and for making
a useful life in spite of a han-
dictip.”
