TRAVELER OF THE
When Miss Winifred Kuhn brought her Girl Scout troop to Welcome Travelers, we broke an old rule to hold down the size of the groups we interview. Eight girls are the minimum requirement for a Girl Scout troop, and there were exactly eight in Miss Kuhn's unit. The girls came from all over Chicago— and we were breaking another unwritten Welcome Travelers law by interviewing Chicago residents.
However, when this organization marched into the College Inn Porterhouse, we decided instantly that, rules or no rules, this was one interview that was going out over the network.
You see, all eight of the girls in Troop 591 are blind. Some of them were blind at birth, and the others lost their sight before they were five years old. The oldest is a sophomore in high school and the youngest is in the fourth grade. Since the girls are unable to see, the one Negro girl in the unit faces none of the problems which might confront her in a situation where her friends enjoyed perfect eyesight. I guess that when you're blind, the color of a friend's skin doesn't make any difference to you.
Troop 591 was a happy, well-adjusted group. They talked about their Girl Scout "projects," explaining how they learned to use a needle-threader in their sewing merit badge tests, and how
they learned to feel their way around the field house where they hold their meetings, instead of making a map, a requirement of another merit badge test.
They were highly enthusiastic about outdoor activities, grinning and chuckling as they told me of their field trips. One of the girls said she enjoyed their square-dancing sessions more than any other group activity.
Miss Kuhn, a pretty, titian-haired dynamo, was extremely helpful. She saw to it that the right girl was in front of the microphone at the right time, and her girls' affection for her was evident throughout the entire interview. She told me that she'd started the troop a year ago. Her job, aside from the big job of being troop leader, is teaching in the Hadley Correspondence School for the Blind.
"You're doing a wonderful thing," 1 told her. "How in the world did you ever happen to start this work?"
"Well," she said simply, "when I was a little girl, there weren't any Girl Scout troops for the blind, and I always felt cheated when the boys told me about the wonderful times they had at their Scout meetings. I decided that when I grew up, I was going to do my best to help other blind girls to have the fun I'd missed."
I'd been talking to her for nearly ten
