Boy Scouts Aid For Blind.
Spokane, Wash., Jan. 1.—Hence-
forth the blind men of Spokane, sev-
eral of whom are earning their liveli-
hood as newsboys or street vendors,
will not be compelled to take chances
with being struck by an automobile
or street car. To end the perils
which beset these sightless men at
street crossings, several boy scouts
have volunteered their services as
pilots for the blind. These scouts
have assumed a sort of guardianship
over the blind and will guide them
each morning to their places of em-
ployment, and see that they reach
home safely each night. “Do a good
turn daily” is the scout slogan, and
by helping the blind the scouts feel
that they have found another com-
mendable way of doing something
worth while.
