paper is made Editor David Haskell ex plains that much of the job depends on sounds coming from the machine Mr Haskell says Its really remarkable to watch John work He seems to sense what is going on in the linotype machine even with out hearing it He must feel the rhythm of the machine because he can be working along and all of a sudden he jumps up grabs a screw driver and fixes something on the machine which ap parently is out of line Since John is unable to speak he communicates with people by writing when they dont know how to speak with their hands Sometime he can read lips John writes My

with other deaf people because It is much easier to talk in this manner My two bro thers can also talk by using their hands John feels that people dont treat him too different ly because of his
