TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 31, 1952) City Council and organization mem bet s met at the city hall Wednesday evening of last week to discuss measures to be taken to aid in the prevention of drownings in McHenry. Their decisiun to employ a lifeguard to be on duty when a Red Cross guard is not at the beach has already resulted in the saving of one life.

Bus drivers do not order disabled people to the back of the bus. We are free to come and go."No laws govern our conduct. But I assert that we experience segregation. You may ask, "How can handicapped citizens consider themselves to be segregated in today's society?" As one who has had a severe cerebral palsy involvement all of my life, I know from per­ sonal experience that many forms of segregation are not spelled out. My parents were not told that I must go to a certain school, they were just told that I could not go to school. No sign has ever for­ bidden me to enter a public building or told me which restroom to use. Architectural barriers have been more than enough. No bus driver or conductor has told me where to sit, but k few have refused to carry me since I cannot get off and on unassisted. Some cab drivers have made me feel smaller than a grasshopper~ and sortie won't even take me. No law has kept me from marrying ahd establishing a home, but society's belief that it's beyond my reach has had much the same effect. The segregation handicapped people experience is different from that experienced by racial and other groups, but we have many things ,in common. Like all other segregation, our problems are a result of ignorance and misun­ derstanding on the part of others. Education can do much to break down the barriers of ignorance and prejudice. The president's Committee on Employment of the Han­ dicapped and similar groups are helping the public see disabled persons as whole individuals with certain » limitations. The outsider may be puzzled about the fact that handicapped people today are making more noise about their rights despite having more opportunities than ever before. This is again a similarity with other minority groups. Research has proven repeatedly that people on the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder seldom are able to voice their longings and desires. Once they make a few gains they become more vocal and are able to express their goals more clearly. No newcomer to the ranks of the handicapped myself. I freely admit trying to break through barriers that I would have accepted twenty to thirty years ago. For example, as a teenager I accepted the fact that all colleges and universities were closed to people like myself The thought of joining with other han­ dicapped students in legal action to force a college or university to make its campus accessible never occurred to me. The line between reality and unnecessary segregation is often unclear. When a group of my friends decides to go for the weekend to the mountains, where there are unbelievable natural and architectural barriers, I usually go too. In spite of my feeding difficulties, I attend an increasing number of public dinners. All of this points up the fact that much of the segregation we experience can be mitigated by our own attitudes _ and our own willingness to assert ourselves in spite of our limitations. While progressive laws, better education, and special devices cart do much to prevent PAGE 23 - PLAINDEALER Schedule Farm Visitation Day September 18 Sunday. Sept. 18. has been declared Dairy Farm Visitation day by the Associated Milk Producers, Incorporated, (AMPI) mid- states region.

A dairying operation with animals, special displays. the segregation of handicapped people, true integration in the long run depends on over­ coming the barriers of ignorance and misun­ derstanding.
