Don’t Let Him Get Away, Joe! « In between seasons when he’s busy walloping out homers for the New York Yankees, Joe DiMaggio likes best to go fishing.

Miss March-Mount told how, through information and education, the womqji and the women's clubs I can aid in the important work of

Army Dreadnaught Fighter in the Air ■0 pwp jjggplp, - * Flying over Dayton, Ohio, is the Army’s newest and most powerful bomber-fighter, the Airacuda. Forward position of the two automatic cannon and the excellent vision of the cannoneers, due to the pusher-type propellers*, makes this ship one of America’s mightiest fighters.

Her subject, “Light-; houses so rthe Blind." was most inj teresting and was presented in a , most capable manner. . j “Light houses for the blind are j i ! the distributing libraries for books ;. for the blind. Although there are

records of earlier types of tangible | letters for the blind, the Moon system and the Rrullle system are , most universally employed. “The Red Cross accepted leadership of the work in this country, assigning a Red Cross director of ; Bral’le to work with and through the Library of Congtess. Congress | created a simplified training course I of ten lessons In Braille transcribing, which can be learned by correspondence or personal Instruction. • In 1934 came a new form of en- j tertainment for the blind —talking blocks. The machine for these talk-; ing hooks looks like a portable vietrola with a rase of records. "For niuny years. Interested peo- ; pie had cherished the idea of some eort of center for the blind where they might avail themselves of the advantages usually denied them. Two of these better known homes are the Victor H. Kriegshaber Memorial Lighthouse In Atlanta. Georgia and the Clovernook Home for j the Blind at Mt. Healthy, Ohio. “The chief end to be sought In j ; the education of the blind is to take | them out of their despondency and i give them a worthy objective towards which to work.” Routine business preceded ad- | journment for the afternoon.
