MEDFORD MAK TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. , OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1943 PAGE FIVE NEWS WEEKLY IN BRAILLE IS BIG BOON TO BLIND i Boston Paper Brings Latest War News to Fingertips Employs 12. Persons. Ceremonial Heads By Bertrly Phillips United Press Correspondent Boston (U.PJ From the presses nf a South Boston plant "The National Braille Weekly," the nnlv magazine of its kind in America, is bringing the latest war news to the fingertips of blind persons throughout the free United Nations. Blind editor-in-chief Francis B. Ierardi, who founded the magazine in 1927, feels that the flightless "are vitally Interested - fin war news." "They want the facts at their fingertips," he emphasized. "When they discuss a problem they want plenty of proof be hind them. It gives them more self-confidence." 3.400 Circulation ( Back in 1927, the weekly reached 200 subscribers without charge. Now the circulation figures have climbed to 3,400 and before the war 3,700 blind persons in 34 different countries including China and Japan, re ceived the magazine. The pub lication is supported entirely by voluntary contributions.. ' The weekly news runs to 34 pages devoted to national and foreign news, as well as news of the latest developments In science, business and braille literature. The weekly employs 12 per sons, all but two of them are blind. It is printed on a regula tion automatic high-speed press with the inking device removed. A proof-reader with "seeing fin gers" checks the braile copy for errors. Fifty-five schools, including Perkins Institution for the Blind, use the magazine in cur rent events classes. Readers throughout the world write into Boston headquarters praising the weekly as a "beacon in the deep darkness of the sightless." Sees War Need Ieardl hopes to expand the plant and have his own building in the near future. War casual- ues win increase me numDer oi - louna, and he things it extreme Vy important that the newly- blinded realize that through "see- fingers" the world can be spread before them. Ierardi himself is middle-aged and spare, an energetic man whose blindness is rarely no ticed. He describes the weekly and two other monthlies he pub lishes as a hobby. His "real Job is on the staff of the Mas sachusetts state division of the blind. " "My purpose In publishing these magazines," he said, "is to help the blind realize that ad justment and normalcy are pos sible and in many cases often easier, for instance, than the sighted imagine." .. , WRITER DECORATED V New Delhi, Oct. 21 OJ.R) A The first Purple Heart awarded to a war correspondent in the China-Burma-India theater was presented today to Walter Briggs of the United Press, who was wounded last February in south western Burma.

Livestock New York, Oct. 21 U.PJ Stocks made an irregular de cline today, the first recession in seven sessions. Trading was moderately above yesterday's total. Market experts attributed the decline purely to technical fac tors although they held that weakness in some of the oils had a tendency to bring in mod erate selling elsewhere. Weakness in the oil shares fol lowed announcement that John D. Rockefeller Jr. was planning to sell $25,000,000 of oil stocks to raise funds for the purchase of additional government war bonds to "support the war effort."
