Corpening, assistant supervisor of vocational reha bilitation, was in Danbury Mon day for the purpose of inter viewing disabled residents of Stokes county, with a view to offering them such assistance as the State can give this class of its citizens. Through the co-operation of T. C. Jones, superintendent of > nblic Welfare for Stokes, three I parties were interviewed an 1 placed in line for some form of | assistance. Mr. Corpening said. It is not generally known that the State has a department which devotes all of its time and efforts to the welfare )1' cripples—not ex-soldiers, but anyone who is in any way inca pacitated by accident, disease or birth. Such a department actually exists in the State system of public education and everything it does is without cost to the cripples benefitted. It not only helps in buying ar tificial limbs for those who have lost a leg or arm, and in secur ing treatment for those who need expert medical attention, but it provides for suitable training for those who are vo cationally handicapped by their disability. This service has been going 011 for over two years. It was created by an act of the nation al congress in 1912. and since that time North Carolina, using both State and federal money, has given training or other as sistance to about a thousand of its crippled citizens. Anyone over 16 years of age is eligible to this aid. If you are a cripple, have suffered any kind of physical impairment, or if you know of any such person who would b» interested in bettering his oi lier condition, you should get in touch with either 11.
