Harris, 58, of Houston, Tex., left, and Bert L. Hutchinson, war veteran, of Forth Worth, Tex. Harris was refused guide dog by another organization because of his age, and Hutchinson, in addition to being blind, is paralyzed in both hands. But Capt. L. A. Kreimer of Burbank, originator of guide dogs, accomplished difficult training. Dogs are 'Teena' left, and 'Jill.' C. C. Bogardus, trustee of International Guiding Eyes and representatives of International Association of Machinists, presents certificates."
