Blind Joanne Hess knits, crochets everything @

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.

“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
