In general, you are legally blind if you can read the headlines in a newspaper but not the small print. This statement assumes that the individual has gotten the best pos- sible correction of his vision with the use of eye glasses. Any phy- sician or eye specialist can deter- mine whether the individual fits into this category by a simple eye test. Raymond J. Wuenschel, Execu- tive Director of the Associated Blind Service s, states: "Most people who fit within the legally blind group are not aware of the services and benefits available to them. For example, the legally blind person is entitled to the fol- lowing: 1. A property tax exemption on the first $2,000 tax assessment. (Both city and county taxes). 2. An extra $600 federal income tax exemption. 3. Social Security benefits if the loss of vision is sufficiently severe. A legally blind person is entitled to use a white cane as an aid to safety in travel. The Department of Street Railways in Detroit per- mits any person who needs to use the white cane to ride free of charge. Wuenschel further states, "It is not safe for an individual to travel about the city with this degree of sight loss without a white cane." The Associated Blind Services, a non-profit organization, will pro- vide any legally or totally blind person with a standard wooden white cane free of charge. The cane will be mailed upon tele- phone request to the agency's headquarters at 7338 Woodward, TR 3-0370.
