Black Government Worker Has Goals Despite Blindness vy,, .SUINGTON - The whole attitude toward blind people Is wrong. It doesn't help u blind person when you do something Mor him. It would be much bet ror If you showed him how to do It so that he can do It for him self when you are not there. Those are the feelings of Ken neth V. Heed, 28, a clerk-typist with the Labor Department who has been blind since birth. Be cause he strives hard to do everything possible for him self, Heed has done much to overcome the handicap of blind ness. Working for the Manpower Ad ministration’s Public Service Careers program (PSC), Reed performs the general cleri cal duties v. ith great facility. He runs a reproduction machine, takes telephone messages on a brail machine and types about 30 words per minute while lis tening to diction on a tape recorder.

Horton’s Cash Storo \ SAUNDERS ST. RALEIGH, N. O. ! Hoed has boon working about 3 months In the PSC office, which attempts to get jobs for dlsadvuntagod and poor people. Ho gets around his office with ease and often uses the elevator to go from the third floor to the basement to make or re trieve copies from the office xerox machine. I hadn’t worked in an office be fore, says Reed, who lives alone. But I have worked in a factory. In adjusting, I just had to learn where I fit in an office. Any blind person, after being in an office for a short while can learn his way about. I think people need to climb out of their shells and get to know blind people. The black high school dropout landed his government job ac cidentally. Several months ago, Reed was trying to cross a street at a busy intersection during _ rush hour traffic when, py chance, ho met Fred Drayton, a supervisor in the PS( office. Noticing that Rood was Hind, Drayton offered to help him across the street. In the conversation that fol lowed, Drayton learned that the blind man was unemployed, try ing to help support a son In a former marriage, and running out of unemployment insurance payments. Drayton told Reed that he would try to help him get a job through the PSC program. I took tlie GED (high school equivalency exam) and passed. Reed recalls. I waited for a while and eventually got a call from the office saying that I had a job. Before coining to the Labor De partment, the young civil servant worked as a film processor tor Standard Photo in Springfield, Mass. His vocational goal, how ever, is to become a computer technician or mechanic. l like anything dealing with machinery, he said running his fingers across the keys of anew brail machine. I was always the kind of kid that took apart tops to see how they were made. A native of Middletown, Ohio, who grow up in Hartford, Conn., Reed is also a musician. *** * * Administrator of Veterans Affairs Donald E.

Dear Mrs. Riggsbee: Would you please send me a free booklet concerning perm anent birth control methods' My tubes were tied four > cars ago, and a doctor told me that I could have them untied. I would like very much to become pregnant because my last child died from injuries sustained In a car wreck. I have four other children and would like very much to have another. Is this possible? Please send me your reply at once. Mrs. S. Dear Mrs. S,: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your child. 1 know it has been an agonizing experience for you and your family. When we speak of “tying the tubes,” it does not actually mean that the doctor ties a loop in them which can then be untied. What happens is that the doc tor cuts each of the two tubes in half and then ties up the ends so they will not grow back together again. To repair this operation, the doctor must take the cut ends of each tube and try to sew them hack together again. This is a difficult opera tion - it is considered major surgery and is successful only about 40 percent of the time. It is also an very expensive operation. Considering the cost and the fact that only 40 percent of these repairs work, I thick you should give this a lot of ser ious thought, 1 know that. you feel the loss of your child very deeply, but you do have four ojher children. Since no other child can completely take the place of the one you have lost - not even a new baby - perhaps it would be better for you to de vote your time and your love to eoresentative ward, the l.ovejoy Award for 1071, The Honorable Hobson R. Reynolds, Grand Fxalted Ruler, announced from the Philadelphia based Headquarters of the na Five weeks will be spent In eleven African nations convers ing with heads of states, ad dressing national legislative bodies and college students, and meeting with Industrialists. The Meeting in New Dehli, Lidia will Include Lidia’s Prime Min ister, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, dau ghter of the late non-voilent Li dlan leader Mahatma Gandhi, who will accept the SCLC docu mentary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s non-violent approach to bringing about social change. Li Saigon, Williams will be the guest of South Vietnamese, friends of the People’s Coali tion for Peace and Justice that staged the unsuccessful attempt to close down the nations Ca pitol early this year, in an ef fort to force the end of the war. In a personally signed letter which Williams will hand deliver to the head of each nation, A bernathy states, As President of SCLC, it is my hope to es tablish a meaningful dialogue the four you already have. This is- a decision only you and your husband (and your doctor) can make. lam sorry that I do not have a booklet on permanent birth control me thods which would toll you any more about repair of a tubal ligation that what I have al ready mentioned to you. * * * Dear Gloria: Why do some girls skip their monthly periods-sometimes as long as six rnonths-when they are not pregnant? M. T. Dear M.T.: Often' when a young girl first begins menstruating, her per iods may be irregular for the first year oi two. Missed per iods are not unusual during this time. It seems to take the body a while to get on a regular cycle. When established, this cycle is usually every 28 days. However, many women men struate every 30 da vs,, or 27 or 20 clays. As long as the time between the periods is the same, we sat’ this is a regular cycle. Some women never do es tablish a regular pattern. One time the number of days between periods may be 30, another time 26 days, another time, two months. Apart from the incon venience of not being able to plan ahead, there Is nothing to wor ry about in most cases. However, six months is quite a long time to go without hav ing a period, I would say a check up with the doctor Is definitely in order to make sure every thing is alright. * * * Address letters or requests for a free booklet on birth con trol methods to; Mrs. Gloria Riggsbee, 2T4 Cameron Chapel Hill, N.
