The Lion's club oi Morehead City
has appropriated $150 annually
to pay for the service of a case
worker tor the blind one day a
month in Carteret county. In ad
dition they will also pay tor glasses
for needy persons, as recommended
hy the welfare department
Thomas C. McGinnis. ^uperin
tendent of county welfare, who
spoke to the Lions at their re
^ nt inoetiAg ?>UgrV 'dated the
cl? their .m^ioo, i
financing of a caseworker one "of
the most progressive steps made by
any organization in the county
lie spoke on the topic "What is
Carteret County Doing About Its
Responsibility for the Needy
Blind?"
He reviewed the four major
functions of the State Commission
for the Blind. These functions in
elude: financial aid ior the needy
blind, prevention of blindness,
vocational guidance and workshops.
All are administered in cooperation
with the welfare department
In addition to these broad func
tions, the blind case worker, ren
ders many special services, he
said. She helps the blind person
to adjust to his handicap, avoid
peculiar mannerisms, use the white
cane, read and write Braille, type
write, make application to tin'
Stale School for the Blmd, a d to
secure medical services.
The role of the school - health
program was emphasizied as anoth
er attempt to aid the visually han
dicappcd through eye clinics at
tended by an ophthalmologist.
What the federal, state and coun
ty governments are doing about
their responsibility for the
blind was seen in the light of in
creases in the number of persons
receiving aid to the blind and the
increase in average payments, Mr
McGinnis said. A total of 39 per
sons now receive an average grant
of $29.28 per month.
After reviewing what other agen
cies arc doing. Mr. McGinnis re
quested the Lion's club to in
crease their activity in helping the
blind by sponsoring the caseworker
in Carteret county for one day of
service each month.
In conclusion, he commented.
"Since we live in a poor eoun
ty with few resources, financial
and material, the combined efforts
of clubs, churches, welfare depart
ment, and other organizations will
be required to do more adequately
meet the physical, economical, men
tal and emotional needs of our
people."
