This week we will look a't a

and see the way that skilled
casework services were directed
toward helping a teenage boy.
The mother received an aid to
dependent children grant, which
is a money payment for needy
dependent children who have
been deprived of parental care
and support because of the
death, physical or mental in
capacity or continued absence
from the home of one or both
parents, whether natural, step
or adoptive.
Mrs. Brown sought help from
the county department of public
welfare with both her physical'
and financial problems. The
husband, had deserted her and
their 14-year-old son. Both mo
ther and son lived in an apart
ment with her aged mother, i
whose only income was a small:
social, security payment. Mrs.,
Brown had attempted to work,
and earn a livelihood for her
self and son, but due to a ma-i
lignnncy she was not able to
continue. Local doctors had ;
recommended that she have
therapy at either Duke Hospital
or Memorial Hospital in Chapel

PRESERVE SIGHT PREVENT BLINDNESS
Theme For 1962
This little girl is suffering from a “lazy eye’’. Though not too
serious the condition diminishes the child’s vision and, if not
arrested in time, may lead to weak-sightedness and even eventual
blindness. -The way to correct this is through exercises like the
one she performs here. By covering the good eye she trains the
lazy one to work properly.
A lazy eye is only one of a
host of menaces to good vision
a child runs in growing up. Os
the world’s 10 million blind
people about 650,000 are chil
dren. Yet fully two-thirds of
this global burden of blindness
need never have occurred. It
codtd have been prevented. Nat
urally, the best place to begin
blindness prevention is with
(children.
•It was in recognition of the
tragic and unnecessary waste
that blindness inflicts on the
world's human and economic
health that the 109 member
states of the World Health Or
ganization* chose “Preserve
Hill, but this was impossible
without assistance.
Mrs. Brown’s son had become
disinterested in his school work
and wanted to quit school. He
had become involved in petty
thievery and was brought into
juvenile court, where he was
placed in the custody of hjs mo
ther under the supervision of
the public welfare department.
An aid to dependent children
grant was approved by Mrs.
Brown. Assistance with trans- j
portation and treatment at Duke!
were furnished by the county!
department of public welfare!
and civic groups. The husband’s j
whereabouts were traced
through the Social Security Os
Sight—Prevent Blindness” as
the theme for the celebration
April 7 of the UN specialized a
gency’s fourteenth anniversary.
WHO Director - General Dr.
M. G. Candau says: “With prop
er treatment by drugs and surg
ery, sight could be restored to
millions who are now losing It;
preventive measures can ensure
■that in the future the numbers
of the blind will be a third or
less of what they are today.”
“It cannot be repeated too
often that the cost of preven
tive services is only a fraction
of what could be saved by re
ducing the burden which the
blind inevitably represent for
any country’* economy.”
: I fice, and he was picked up by
I local law officials. He was tried
1 j and convicted of bigamy and
: | received a prison sentence.
!* Mrs. Brown lived only a short
r | while after the trial. The son
i;i>ow was left, in the home with
5 j his grandmother. By encour
agement from people in the
! j community, the public welfare
| department and school officials,
iJ he had continued in school, but
, | after the death of his mother
| a change was needed. The
i j grandmother, who loved the boy
(deeply, felt that she was not
*! capable of coping with the prob
;• lems of a teenage boy. The
l boy’s pastor was made aware
of the situation and, with the!
public welfare department, help
ed in plans for the boy to enter
a boys’ school in a Northern
state. A local civic group se
cured ample clothing for him
and provided transportation.
Unfortunately, the boy was un
happy in his new environment
and homesick for the South, his
grandmother and friends.
After several months the
county department of public
welfare arranged for him to re
turn home. After counseling
with the boy and the grand
mother, the boy, who was now
17 years of age, expressed a de
sire to enter some branch of the
i armed services. He decided on
1 the Army and during his tenure
of service will receive vocation
al training which will be of
great benefit to him in securing
self-supporting work in civilian
life. He has been quite suc
cessful in hi.; Army career and
‘ has traveled extensively. In
' appearance, he is a handsome,
erect youth. He corresponds
with regularity with his grand
mother and she says, “He is a
grandson to be proud of.” He
attributes the solution to many
of his problems to the skilled
casework services by the loun
ty department of public welfare,
who knew him from the age of
14 and took a personal interest
in his welfare.
