A vocal solo by John Finch, instructor of music in the Grosse
Pointe schools, and a talk on "Crippled, or Handicapped Children," by
Dr. C. O. Woodbridge made life very
interesting to the Saline Rotarians
at their meeting last Thursday noon.
"In November, 1930,'' according5"_o
statistics given by Dr. Woodbridge,
"there were 45,000,000 children in tha
United States, and among this number were handicapped; 305,000 of
this number were deaf or had defective hearing; 70,000 totally or partially blind; and 300,000 crippled.
The chief cause of nearly all deformity is malnutrition, and if the
opportunity ever comes to this community to be of assistance in the
feeding of the hungry, don't hesitate
—give, and give freely.
"If you will tell me," the speaker
continued, "how a community, society, age, or people treats its weak, I
will tell you how far that community
has advanced along the road to civilization. Describe to me how the men
of a community treat their wives arsd
how" parents treat their children," and
I will draw definite conclusions tna.t
are proof of the refinement and culture of that community."
In order that a community may assist the handicapped child, Dr. Wood-
bridge has the following suggestions
to offer:
A. Believing that the crippled
child, through no fault of his own, is
handicapped in whatever effort he
makes to fit himself for life, the
state without placing the child in the
category "Dependent," should provide him with facilities for as much
education as it does for the normal
child, plus whatever additional advantages are needed to place him
upon an equal plane in competition
for existence with his normal brother. He should not be penalized for
something over which lie has no coiy
trol. "*
B. Every crippled child who find/,
it impossible to walk to and from,
school, especially during the winter,
should be entitled to such, transportation at the expense of the state or.
community as may be necessary to
offer him all of the educational facilities that are open to the normal
child. He should not be compelled to
repeat a grade because of irregularities in attendance due to his own
misfortune.
C. Every crippled child, especially
one whose handicap is such as to
necessitate the acquiring of a certain
profession or trade, should be enr
titled to such instruction and training as will enable him to rise above
ordinary competiton when endeavoring to secure employment or when
tryi::g to make a place for himself in
life. He should not be made an object of charity because :>f physical
conditions over which he has no control.
D. Every crippled child who cannot sit at an ordinary desk or an
ordinary seat at school should be entitled to such, special provision as will
place him, as nearly as possible, on
an equal basis with the normal child.
He should not be placed at a disadvantage in his struggle or knowledge
because of maladjustment to a seat
or desk.
E. Every crippled child is entitled
to the supervision and guidance of a
teacher who is not only technically
trained in the educational curricula
of such children, but who is tempera-*
mentally and psychologically adapted
to that type of work. It should not be
expected that a crippled child will respond as quickly to a given task,
and, above all, he should not be reprimanded when, because of his handicap, he must move more slowly than
the normal child.
After Dr. Woodbridge's talk the
Rotarians voted to have an extra-fine
picture chosen for tne show on dollar day.
Visitors were Leigh Townsend o
Ypsilanti and John Finch of Gross'
Pointe.

Two Barns on Springer
Farm Burned Thursday
Firemen  Believe That  Conflagration
Was Started by Tramps or
Chicken Thieves.
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
President Hoover has proclaimed
the week of October 4 as fire prevent
tion week. He said fires in 1930
caused a property loss of nearly
55*00,000,000, an increase of $4,000,-
000 over 1929, and injuries to men,
women and children exceeded 35,000
in 1930.
Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the buildings on the William
B. Bauer farm, six miles southwest
of Chelsea, about 8:30 Saturday
evening. The dwelling house, two.
large barns filled with hay, a small
barn, hog house and tool shed were
burned; also 200 chickens. Most of
the household goods were saved. The
loss is covered by insurance.—Chelsea Standard.
Two large barns on the farm of A.
E. Springer, one mile south Of the
city, were totally destroyed by fire
last Thursday night. The loss is estimated at about $12,000 and was
covered by $3,500 insurance.
The barns were 32x26 and 30x90.
The larger one contained a hay rack,
binder, cultivator and other implements, as well as hay and grain, all
of which were lost. 200 chickens
were housed in the large basement.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schaible noticed the fire near the ground .at one
corner of the barn and sent in the
alarm. Immediately after being discovered, both structures burst into
flames. The fire department, as well
as a large crowd of volunteers, arrived just before "Mr. and Mrs.
Springer returned from the county
fair, and by hard work saved the tool
shed and home.
Origin of the fire has not been determined. It is believed it was started either by tramps or chicken
thieves.
Traffic to the scene was congested
on acount of the South Ann Arbor
street road being closed- The harrier was raised for the fire truck ana
personnel, but the majority of traffic was detoured. The county road
office sent a heavy roller to remove
the ruts from the tar and it is believed the road was not badly hrjurea
by the cars.
Competition Was Unusually Close in
Both Matches; Each Won by
Single Hole. *
Wanning the 18th hole after an uphill battle through 18 holes of golf, at
the Stadium Hills course last Thursday afternoon, made Lloyd E. Fairbanks the winner of the match with
Robert Fuoss, and Saline city golf
champion.
With Fuoss leading at 'the 11th
hole by three points Fairbanks, with
a spurt of fine golf, took four consecutive holes that placed him one to
the good coming up to the 15th hole,
which was won by Fuoss, and the
match was squared with three to
play. Both players put up a terrific
battle from here on, halving the 16th
and 17th. On the 18th both men
were on the green in even scores, and
the winner was forced to sink a lor^r
putt to end the match m his favor.
The final match in the first flight
was played between E. F. Henne and
Dr. L. E. Fast 4 Here again was a
fight from beginning to end and the
match -was forced to an extra hole
before it was decided. Both men
showed a superb brand of golf and
the match broke even at the end of
the 9th and 18th. A long drive and
a nice brassie placed the manager of
the local telephone company on the
green in two, while difficulty in the
rough cost Dr. Fast four strokes before he landed upon the smooth turf.
Henne wisely played a safe putting
game to win the hole by one stroke
and the first flight championship by
one hole.
