At this session, a paper was read in memoriam of Louis Braille, founder of the Braille Institute. At the Second General Session Tuesday morning, Spirit and Aims of the Convention, by Calvin Glover and Things Yet To Be Done, By and for the Blind, by Walter G. Holmes, were given. Speaking for the Higher Commissions which he represents. Dr. Charles L. Minor, of Ohio, showed the Prevention and Responsibility of an Agency for the Blind in emphasizing the work of preventing the loss of vision rather than the cure and explain(ed how some of this work is being done. Speakers at the Wednesday morning session were E. E. Allen. superintendent of Perkins Institute for the Blind, in Ohio. Olin H. Burritt, LL. D., Eva B. Palmer. L. L. Watts and Roberta A. Griffith. Their main subject was to bring out the necessity for work with the blind to be taken up more seriously and be looked upon as a profession. Wednesday evening the American Foundation for the Blind gave their annual reports on the International Committee on Uniform Braille Music, by L. W. Rodenburg, Departments of Special Studies. Freida A. Kiefer, Ph. D., Bureau of Information, by Charles B. Hayes, who is also Helen Keller’s business manager, who is well known here. The Department of Research and Education given by Robert B.

The dogs are taught to watch the traffic signals. They and their masters are trained together. All are well pleased with our lake and it is beyond all their expectations. o A NATIONAL AWAKENING Just at this moment the entire country is shocked at the revelations concerning the operations of a notorious gambler. Seizures of immense quantities of narcotics on their way to deal out death and destruction to America and American people have awakened the public to a realization of the proportions to which the narcotic traffic have grown, and the need for prompt and vigorous action if the spreading evil is to be checked. Therefore, “The Pace That Kills” which comes to Community Theater is particularly timely and carries a tremendous message to the ; thinking people of America. The ’ Pace that Kills is a stark story ’ of a clean country boy who en--1 counters the destroyer all un ! prepared and pays the supreme penalty of folly and ignorance.

Warsaw finding fast time a ' great disadvantage, has changed ' back to standard time. Goshen [ is contemplating on changing back from daylight saving time The petition was placed in the hands of the Town Board and would have been acted upon a< a special meeting last Tuesday night, as one member of the board was out of town and could not be present, making it impossible to take action thereon. o SARGENT HOTEL A party of twenty-six people of the Fort Wayne Paper Box Co. spent the week end at the Sargent Hotel.

3 THINGS TO ' THINK ABOUT ? —————— ' Review of Tilings by the Editor r As He Sees Them ou ’ the Surface. 7 j. The Fourth of July i One hundred and fifty-three years ago fifty-six men representing 13 colonies, met in Phila- ; delphia and discussed the propol sition to throw off the British 1 yoke. On the Fourth, 1776, was signed on that day by John Hanock, the president of the Convention and Charles Thompson, secretary. The actual signing of the document by representatives )f states did not actually occur ( mtil some months later and vvhen it was done the men knew :hey were outlaws with a price >n their heads, because it was •ed revolution. Once the movement for a new America was started, a wise old oader advised the factions that hey had their choice of hanging together or hanging separately, t was and is good advice. This nust continue to be a government of and by the people whatever the results may be—else no nan can foretell what may hapen. Almost every system and ondition in life has changed, ince our forebears gave up their ves for a theory—and experilent then considered the “redest” thing in the world’s history \nd yet in no other land and in >o other time has the individual ■njoyed such blessings as he enoys today in America. We need, not more independ*nce, but more realization of inlependence. We can develop almly, smooth, rationally, or we an exterminate each other so hat no one will benefit. The irst course is easier and the reults are more pleasing. Let us tick to the original principles, nd this Fourth of July renew >ur allegiance to the Declaration >f Independence. According to figures compiled y the American Automobile Asociafion there were seventy-sev-n different prices for gasoline irevailing in the United States ’ast February. Gasoline consum- " rs want to know why the govrnment should interest itself in irotecting the consumer as well s the producers of crude oil. Mistakes Have Different Values When a plumber makes a mistake he changes for it. When a lawyer makes a misake it is just what he wanted, »ecause he has a chance to try he case all over again. When a carpenter makes a misake it’s just what he expected. When a doctor makes a mistake he buries it. When a judge makes a mistake t becomes the law of the land. When a preacher makes a misake nobody knows the difference. But when a printer makes a nistake—Good Night! It’s easy to be a college presilent. All one has to do is to ) lease the board of control, the >arents, the undergraduates and the alumni. This is the time of year when he price of lemons begins to oar, which of course makes the thrifty housewife sore too. June is the month of mariages but to be appropriate to the occasion, some marriages ;hould be pulled off April Ist. Baseball is usually referred to is the national sport, but in hese parts it plays second fiddle to the removing and tearing down of road markers. Now that it has been decided definitely that by merely tuning the clock ahehrt one hour, we. lengthen the day that much, we wonder if we turned it ahead another hour during the night, whether it wouldn’t give us more night time. We might be able to adjust our- • selves to the daylight saving time but can the farmer educate . his cows to be milked an, hour earlier in order for him to get in to town before closing time? t The wth so many of » our fanrily trees is that if you exJ amine them closely enough you will find they are full of saps.
