cane-using blind friends on
races ‘downtown’
Mr. Hemmig flew to
Hollywood, Ca., for his
first dog. A man from the
training school met him at
the airport and told him
that he wouldn't meet his
dog for several days. ‘We
have to check you out
first.”” the man said.
During the next few days
the trainer walked all over
Hollywood with him, deli-
berately trying to mis-lead
and anger him. When Mr.
Hemmig didn't lose his
temper, he was judged
suitable for a dog.
The dogs at this Holly-
wood school are all pure-
bred female German Shep-
herds, trained for six
months. After Mr. Hemmig
and the dog got aquainted,
they were tested together
on an obstacle course.
Besides ordinary holes,
curbs, and wire strung at
human head height, the
two had to pass between
two bonfires set three feet
apart.
After the obstacle
course, Mr. Hemmig and
his dog were tested at an
airport, on busses, and in a
1 of obstacles and
gear. Failure
meant another week of

de dogs are trained to
deal with traffic by refusing
to walk on the right side of
a road. They always pass a
barrier on their side, not
the person's. In an emer-
OU
Jul
gency, they will lead their
masters out of a building if
they are told, ‘‘Take me
outside.”
Mr. Hemmig told the
kids that, today, most dogs
are attack-trained. The dog
will attack when it hears a
certain German word. If
someone should strike its
master, it will growl a
warning and seize the
attacker's wrist in its
mouth without biting. If the
blow is repeated, it will
vite.
Mr. Hemmig also spoke
on the special harness,
which is adjusted to the
height of the person. The

person must follow the dog
by exactly half a step if the
team is to function effec-
tively.
Mr. Hemmig answered
questions after his talk. He
explained how he arranges
food on his plate (with
potatoes at 9:00), how he
boards the right bus (Kona
recognises the driver), and
how he tells time (he
passed around his Braille
watch, with raised dots to
indicate the hours).
When he was asked
whether it was worse to be
blind or deaf, he judged it
worse to be blind. ‘‘But the
worst of all would be
confinement to a wheel-
chair,” he said.
After Mr. Hemmig's
talk, Mrs. Knorr, the
school nurse, announced
the winner of the Poster
Contest, and Robert V.
Cresswell presented the
awards. The winners were:
Ist prize, Amy Jo Win-
ters, 10, of 9 S. Arnold St.,
Maytown; 2nd prize, Me-
lissa Hinkle, 9, of 580 E.
Market St., Marietta; 3rd
prize, Danny Deitrich, 10,
of 78 N. Chestnut 5t.,
Marietta, and Honorable
Mention, Kevin Lee Barn-
hart, 10, of 110 S. Harter
St., Maytown.
