*Dr. M. H. Bickham, superintendent of the Central Placement Bureau for Handicapped Workers of Chicago, who is a resident of Minette, was called to Minneapolis last week to report on the developments in plac- ing ýhandicapiped workers during the unemplovmient crisis. Reports'of this workc have been given inpeou issues:of WIMzT'rE Lii5E.e *Basing his conclusions on the. de- velopments lu the Chicago opera- tions and research work in, other *cities, Dr. Bickham is recommendinoe the formation of' a* national council for .han dicapped workers. 'This agéey is designed to meet the de.- . pressed social and econompic condi- tions of hancicapped* workers. -Dr. Bickham's plan . provides for raising * a national endowment of- $lOOOOiOOD- and the' development of oneý hundred placement centers along lines simhilar -othe Chica-go center. Stich a m iove will go9 far toward relieving one segment of ùnemploymienti and a s egment in which the evideiice shows much social distres§ prevails, it is explained. *Dr. Bickham's studies show that handi. apped persons are increasing more rapidly than the social means for meeting the consequent economie problems of these workers. Statistics show that at least2,500,OO children are physïcally handicapped. Hearing, sight, hands, feet and legs or heart1 and lungs and other vital organs mnay tories and homes- of the nation. The latest compilation shows that over a million aduit persons with in- dustrial' handicaps are iiow caughit in, the mreshes of our -involved iii-. dustrial'system. Most. of theni with- out emétployment. ,These ,handicap- ped w'orkiers, are marginal vorkçers adsoon pushed out in any .uin-.. ploynent crisis. So action on a nia- tional, scale, is 'needed to meet the social -and economic ý problemfs- of these hiandicapped'wo rkers. Dr. Bick- ham's reports and plans subm itted to the national ,coniference of, sociail work are directed toward meeting these problems in our present unr- employment crisis, andI the years tliat lie ahead.
