November is “Sight
Conservation and Work for
the Blind Month” accord
ing to a proclamation
^issued by Governor James
E. Holshouser, Jr.
The proclamation calls
for increased emphasis in
the prevention of blindness
programs in North Caro
lina. Already in excess of
12,000 residents are blind
and the number is
increasing each month.
According to the Division
of Services for the Blind of
the N.C. Department of
Human Resources, most
blindness and visual im
pairment can be prevented
in pre-school age children
by early detection and
treatment. The three lead
ing causes of blindness are
cataracts, glaucoma, and
diabetic repinopathy ac
cording to the Division.
North Carolina has a very
active blindness and visual
impairment prevention
program.
Most schools throughout
the state through the use of
public health nurses, school
nurses or volunteers have
vision screening programs
with referrals for treatment
being made to opthamolo-
gist and optometrists for
those who can afford these
services and to clinics for
those who are indigent.
The Division of Services
for the Blind conducts
approximately 1500 eye
o)inic^j^*ess: the state for.
the indigent mostly in
locations where there is a
shortage or no private
providers of these services
as is the case in 16
counties. These clinics plan
to reach some 41,000
patients during the present
fiscal year. The Division
will pay for the needed
treatment diagnosed by the
opthamologists in these
clinics.
Many other indigent
North Carolinians can
receive eye services
through the Medicaid
program administered by
the 100 County Department
of Social Services.
The N.C. Association for
the Blind, a private
organization sponsored en
tirely by the 426 Lion’s
Clubs in the state is also
active in services for the
blind. Last year it raised
some $200,000 in its annual
White Cane Drive to
provide these services.
The North Carolina Eye
and Human Tissue Bank at
Winston-Salem is financed
from these funds. In
addition the Association
gives financial support to
eye research and the state’s
glaucoma-diabetic clinics
which screened some
18,000 people this last year.

He is Airman Apprentice
William F. Doctor, the son of

newer and more sophisticated

more highly qualified Navy

HtS equipment. William “Doc”

his words, “sew how I do with
my plans.”
Actress Virginia Capers
Has No Speecli Problem
Talented singer-actress
Virginia Capers speaks and
sings in six languages, but
as Ruby, a friendly
neighbor with diet prob
lems in United Artists’ film
release, Five On The Black
Hand Side, she gets her
message across quite
effectively in English.
Miss Capers stars with
Clarice Taylor, Leonard
Jackson, Glynn Turman
and D’Urville Martin in the
hilarious story of a black
middle class family chal
lenged by male chauvin
ism, women’s liberation,
and black liberation and
other assorted problems.
Five On The Black Hand
Side, which marks the Film
production debuts of actors
Brock Peters and Michael
Tolan, is based on the
off-broadway hit play bv
Charlie Russell who also
authored- the. r-sereenplay
Oscar Williams directed
and H. B. Barnum wrote
the music.
Born in Sumter, South
Carolina, but raised and
educated in New York,
Miss Capers got her first
paying job with the Jewish
National Theatre in 1950.
She got her showbusiness
start, however, in the
Catskills, the New York
resort area training ground
for comedians, singers,
actors and dancers. It came
at a time when most of the
Catskill performers were
white.
The versatile artist was
the star singing attraction
at Paris’ only Jewish
nightclub, ‘‘The Habebe”
in 1955, appeared in
concert in Germany, Bel-
guim and Italy, and is the
only black actress ever to
tour the Holy Land with an
Israeli musical company --
doing her parts in Hebrew
and Yiddish.
She appeared on Broad
way in "Jamaica,” starring
Lena Horne, and in
“Saratoga,” starring Carol
Lawrence and Howard
Keel. Virginia was spirited
away from Broadway by
Edwin Lester who brought
her to the Los Angeles Civic
Light Opera in 1960 where
she appeared with Eddie
Foy, Jr., whose brother,
Bryan, cast her in the film
drama, ‘‘House of Wo
men” in 1961.
Moviegoers have also
seen Miss Capers in ‘‘The
Lost Man,” starring Sidney
Poitier; ‘‘The Great White
Hope,” United Artists’
‘‘Support Your Local Gun-
fighter,” and ‘‘Big Jake”
and as Billie Holliday’s
mother in ‘‘Lady Sings The
Blues.”
Virginia’s television cre
dits include segments on
such shows as “Have Gun
Will Travel,” ‘‘Doctor
Kildare,” “Ben Casey,”
“Breaking Point,” and the
TV pilot, “The Judge and
Jack Wyler,” starring
Bette Davis.

THIS IS THE LAW
By Robert E. Lee
[Sponsored bv The Lawj ers
of North Carolina]
AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENTS
Black lends his automo
bile to Grey. Grey, while
carelessly and negligently
operating the borrowed
automobile, injures White.
White is at the time
carefully driving his own
automobile. May White
recover from Black a
judgment for the personal
injuries he has sustained?
There cannot be a
recovery under the particu
lar facts in North Carolina.
The automobile at the time
of the accident was not
under the control of Black,
It was not being driven by
one who was his agent.
Grey, and not Black, is the
one that should be sued by
White.
Whenever personal pro
perty is loaned or rented to
another, there is created a
bailment. In this case Black
was the bailor and Grey
was the bailee.
In a number of states
White could recover from
either Black or Grey. New
York, Florida, California,
Iowa, and a few other states
have statutes which impose
liability upon the owner of
an automobile for the
negligent acts of any
person who might be
driving it with his consent.
But North Carolina, in
accord with most jurisdic
tions, does not have such a
statute.
In other words, if Black
should lend to Grey his car
for the purpose of a trip to
New York and Black while
in New York should
negligently injure White,
Black would be liable.
Statutes such as the one
in New York must not be
confused with the one that
was enacted by the General
Assembly of North Carolina
in 1951. Under this
particular North Carolina
statute proof of ownership
of an automobile is merely
prima facia evidence of a
master-servant relationship
between the driver and the
owner of the automobile.
The fact that the driver was
not a servant or an agent a
the time of the accident
may be rebutted at the
trial.
