Tuesday Morning June 28, 1955 Copyright 1955, Kearn Helen Keller, symbol of courage for the blind and deaf of the world, enjoys scent of blooms on her 75th birth date. Tribute Paid Helen Keller On Birthdate By Associated Press EASTON, CONN., June 27 Helen Keller, who has done little compromising in her lifetime, did so Monday on her 75th birthday. She spent half of it reluctantly as a public citizen; half as a private one. After a morning during which she gracefully and obediently posed for cameras in traditional birthday positions and talked with the press, the doors of Arcan Ridge were politely but firmly closed to the world. Back to Work Helen Keller went back to work at her desk, catching up with her mail. Actually, the day was much more complicated than that in spite of the efforts of Polly Thomson, her companion, to make things as easy as possible for this gray haired and blue eyed woman who deaf and blind herself, has dedicated a lifetime to helping all handicapped persons. Miss Keller, just returned from a five month, 40,000 mile working trip around the world on behalf of the blind, is in perfect health and feels fine, but the doctor says that after a trip like that she needs a two month vacation, Miss Thomson explained. Continues to Press Tuesday that vacation can begin, but Monday the world continued to press in even after the cameramen and reporters had departed. The telephone rang constantly with telegrams and cables From Paris, Adelaide, Tokyo, Berlin, Brisbane, Rangoon; from President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in New England; from writer Fannie Hurst in New York, and from pianist Myra Hess in London. Helen and Polly, in identical dresses of blue and pink linen, greeted visitors gaily.
