Reading device aids disabled veterans at Portland hospital
A ceiling projection reading machine for bedridden patients was presented to the Veterans' hospital in Portland Oregon. Three groups of Camp Fire Girls funded the $100 device and its film costs. Eddie Hall a 21 year old navy veteran from Medford demonstrated how the handheld gadget flips pages by chin pressure. The unit weighs about nine pounds and projects book pages from 35 millimeter film onto the ceiling, enabling easier reading for those unable to hold a book. Camp Fire Girls have long aided veterans and shut ins through programs across the country, including hospital help, bedside schooling aides, and clinics.
