Richards Randall Jerry started the Library for the Blind over twenty years ago after losing his sight at sixty. A Chapel gave space and funds flowed in, with the program later joining the public system. Congress now permits free mail transit for blind books, boosting requests for more volumes and budget.
Edward Goldston, London bookseller, paid over 60 000 for an early Gutenberg Bible from 1455 to 1466 found near Vienna. Only three or four copies exist. Braille adoption in America continues, with Moon type still in use and volunteers producing many titles. Mrs Harriet Wolfen and Miss Gene Davis completed Braille typing of a Selma Lagerlof work and are editing William Beebe’s text. A Wall Street broker contributes to Braille book production.
A historical survey notes the Braille code holds 600 to 700 titles with fiction proving most popular and cookbooks among the few requested. The room houses 2 musical divisions and over 400 Braille scores, mostly classical, suggesting easier music reading for blind musicians. The library serves surrounding states, aids blind pupils, and features a diverse clientele including a blind evangelist and a blind salesman.
Indiana Automobile Club secretary John M. Sutton urges motorists to back traffic officers to ease congestion and improve safety. He argues many drivers fail to cooperate, causing delays and hazards as officers balance pedestrian protection with vehicular flow. Sutton recommends drivers learn traffic rules, stay patient, and yield to pedestrians at crosswalks to prevent lawsuits and speed the scene.
