BLIND PRODUCE STATE LIBRARY BRAILLE BOOKS WPA Project Employs Six Women, Three of Whom Are Sightless. Working patiently and gaining skill day by day three blind women and three women who can see have transcribed 33 volumes of Braille at the Indiana State Library. Taken from relief rolls, these six Works Progress Administration employes were assigned to the task last fall. A nonrelief blind man dies all the proofreading. As soon as the books are bound, they are to be circulated to blind readers in the state through the facilities of (he state traveling library. Novel Makes 3 to 5 Volumes Only 10 titles are included in the collection, since full-length novels require between three and five volumes in Braille. More than 4000 pages have been completed, the average volume of Braille containing from 100 to 125 pages. The three blind women were taught to operate the small Braille machines. Os the two grades of Braille, one for elementary readers and one for mature readers, the women were taught to use the latter. The three women with sight work with the blind women, reading them the words they are to transcribe into Braille. When the Braille workers began, they could do only three or four pages a day. With practice they have gained speed and now often transcribe as many as 20 pag& daily.

i Compile Braille Catalog One of the most valuable pieces of work done in the opinion of authorities Is the transcription of a Braille catalog of all books in the library available to blind readers. This is the first time such a catalog has been put into Braille. Two copies have been completed and additional prints are to be made. In the 75-page Braille list, the author’s name Is indented and under it are listed the title of the book and the number of volumes in Braille. The State Library purchased three new Braille machines for project use and is paying for the binding of the completed books at the American Red Cross headquarters in Washington. The pages are shellacked, sewn together by a special process and bound in buckram with gold tooling. First Project of Its Kind Thousands of volumes of classics and valuable modern books are not accessible yet to blind readers, and it is these works that the WPA employes are attempting now to bring to Indiana’s blind. The project is the first of its kind in the United States. It serves a three-fold purpose: Provides reading for the blind, gives a living wage to needy persons, and teaches blind persons a means of earning a livelihood in the future. Because they took less time to transcribe, and because there is a scarcity of short stories available to blind readers, the first work on the project was done in this field of literature. The stories are to be bound in three volumes of approximately 100 pages each. The following stories are included: Marriage a la Mode," Mansfield; “Amethyst," Carole; “Silent Grow the Guns,” Kantor; “Gift of the Magi,” O. Henry; “.007,” Kipling; “The Necklace,” de Maupassant; “Ghost Story,” Mark Twain; “Innocence,” Lane, and "The Party,” Tarkington. Books Finished Novels which have been completed are “Goodbye, Mr Chips.” Hilton, one volume; “Passing the Torch,” Andrews, one volume; “La-

ENROLL FARMERS IN 5-ACRE CORN CLUB Abbott Says Medals Will Be Given for Yield. Enrollments in the Five-Acre Corn Club in Marion County now are being received by Horace E. Abbott, county agricultural agent, who is cooperating with the extension department of Purdue University and tue Indiana Corn Growers’ Association. To each corn grower who produces 100 bushels of corn an acre the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association awards a gold medal and enrolls the contestant in the Indiana Hundred Bushel Club. Silver medals are awarded for yields of 85 to 100 bushels and bronze medals for 75 to 85-bushel yields. Any corn grower who has five or more acres in corn can qualify for the Five-Acre Corn Club by becoming a member of the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association. At harvest time, the extension department furnishes judges to inspect and check yields of contestants. Applications for membership should be made to the county agent. Each contestant is furnished with a report blank in which a record of plowing, seed bed preparation, kind of seed used, fertilization and cultivation are kept during the season. The annual report of the association, sent to all members, includes a summary of the five-acre work in the state, gold medal winners, reports of the program at the annual meeting and the state and international shows.
