Subse- quent reviews will appear from time to time, FIRST LADY OF THE SEEING EYE, By Morris Frank and Blake Clark. This is really a beautiful and touching story of the intelligence and devotion of a German Shep- herd dog called Buddy. Buddy Z|was born and trained in Switzer- g|land by an expert geneticist, Jack ®| Humphrey, at the estate "For- # tunate Field" near Vevey in the Swiss Alps, of Mrs, Dorothy H. Eustis. News of the "Seeing Eye' writ- ten by Mrs. Eustis was first read by Frank, an American' blind young man from the Potsdam Training School. This news gave Frank, who had been blind for four years, at the age of sixteen by an accident, and his blind mother who had been blinded some years earlier by a fall from a horse, renewed hope and inter- est in a helpless life of darkness, He wanted independence and Heejom ol moyeent more than| by Eric W.

Miss Eldredge's law-| tiently awaited an answer that was a month in arriving. Frank made plans to go to Switzerland to get a trained dog, and to be instructed how to use the dog as his eyes. Mr, Frank's terrific sense of humor gives us a bright but sad account of his trip across the ocean as a piece of baggage and being locked in his room like a child early each night, It took Morris one month to learn to become completely de- pendent upon Buddy's eyes and allow him to use his high intelli- gence, stamina, and fidelity in leading him through all kinds of obstacles always to complete safe- ty. They got to be good friends before embarking on his return trip to his home in Nashville, Tenn., where he and buddy, from newspaper publicity, became na- tional heroes, They were pioneers in making the world conscious of the work and importance of the seeing eye dogs for the blind and in giving them independence of movement thus releasing them from the bondage of pity. from others.
