Newly-placed On the bookshelves of TWeedSMUir the Canadian National Institute for the Blind headquarters at London for sur- rounding Middlesex, Elgin, Perth, and Huron counties, stand six un- usual volumes to help the :sightless ehurell-goer. Their heavy, Mitten pages bear only mysterious 'patterns or raised dots, something like the impree- Mon left by a typewriter when the "Period" key is struck too hard, Rut translated under the sentive fingertips of a blind person, the dots magically reveal the words and music of one hundred well- known hymns, The six Braille hymn 'books, en- titled "Hymns fee Worship" Are the gift of the Women's Auxiliary of Tweedsrnuir Hall, They are kept in •the auditorium for the 'use of the Hall's sightless residents and visitor Who frequentlyattend neighborhood churches, • Published by the John Milton Society ,the books are sold by the American organization for the blind at a subsidized cost of only $2.00 each. • The John Milton Society volumes are not the first 'Braille hymnals to be printed, but they have sev- eral advantages over other editions, An index of first lines and num- bered pages gives quick, easy reference. A plastic ring binding, permits the book to lie fully open without a tendency to close while the blind reader uses his fingers to follow the dots, Braille music, printed with ,,the same system of raised dots, allows the singer to read the melody as well as the words of the hymn. And in contrast to earlier Braille hymnals which carry only one or two verses of each hymn for the sake of space, the Milton Society books, show all verses of each selected hymn, But for the same reason, the new hymn books contain only one hundred of the best known sacred songs; Each bulky volume, with its unusually heavy paper for im- printing the dots, measures twelve inches deep, eleven inches wide and about one and one-half inches 'thick. If all the selections of a i:egular hymn book were 'printed in this fashions blind worshippers t would have to carry several of tthese weighty volumes to church every Sunday, The new hymn books have prov- ed so well suited to the needs of sightless church-goers at Tweeds- enuir Hall, that the Women's Aux"' diary nas,,,oefered to purchase copies for and members -living in the London District of Middlesex, Elgin, Perth, •and Huron 'counties.

If we were lacking in entertain- ment we could always depend upon our Irish wit, Chummy, to come through with a story, like the one he told of the farmer in the drought stricken area who grew a wonderful crop of corn. He har- vested it, packed it in the barn, and after the nature of corn it began to heat. The corn proved to be 'popcorn. It popped up so high it burst the boards off the roof and ran down into the yard. His cows ate so much of the corn that they lay •down and died.
