The Lancaster County Association for the Blind is putting the directions into Braille « Joanne asked the Bulletin to mention Beacon Lodge in our article. Beacon Lodge is a camp for the blind, located in western Pennsylvania. The Mount Joy Lions have given a lot of active support to this camp which is sponsored by American Lions Clubs. Blind people can walk, run, and even ride bicycles with the aid of guide ropes at Beacon Lodge. “It’s the first really felt like I was worth something—like 1 was a place 1” human being’’, Joanne said. *‘I can walk freely there. Having to hold onto some- one’s arm all the time really makes you feel like a second-class citizen’’, she said. ‘‘I learned that I could be useful to people’, she added. ‘‘For example, 1 talked to two ladies who had just lost their sight, and showed them how to tell time on a clock.” In addition to her artistic work, Joanne has found time to give programs on subjects like courtesty to the blind. “I want to be as useful and productive as anybody else.”’ she says. t HAPPY HOUR SUSQUEHANNA BULLETIN-Page 17 The New Colonial Inn ~ (formerly Sansone’s) 324 West Market Street Marietta, Pa. 426-1109 SPECIALIZING IN + STEAKS FRESH SEA FOOD TRY OUR OPEN FACE TENDERLOIN Luncheon Special SOUP & SANDWICH $1.10 OPEN 11:30 a.m. “We all ‘have to do something and this is what | do’’, says Joanne Hess of Newhaven St., Mount Joy. Joanne, who has been blind since she was born, can knit or crochet practi- cally anything. Her work is in demand. Last year she sold a hundred of the crocheted poodles shown in the photograph. Joanne also produces scarves, afgahans and blan- kets, but her favorite crea- tions are beaded doilies. Keeping track of the differently colored beads requires some extra work for Joanne, but the results are worth the effort. Joanne won her first prize for a doilie at the age of 14. “I've gotten a sense of what colors go together from talking to my mother’, Joanne says. “You have to know what colors match when you dress, of course’, Joanne says. “If you can see, you can put anything together now- adays. People will think, ‘Oh, how daring!’”’ “If you're blind, people will think you don’t know any better.”’ Joanne is expanding her artistic endeavors with a ql 1% mi. S. of Mount Joy on Pinkerton Rd.
