The Public Education Department avails itself of all media of communication, including the visual appeal of the comic strip. “Rex Morgan, M.D.” this past year told readers the story of a young bride, Lila, who is blinded in an auto accident, and her subsequent readjustment, and that of her husband, Neil, and his family. Dr. Rex Morgan gives them useful counsel, including referral to the American Foundation for the Blind, as a nationally-known source of information about blindness.
