GREETING !N BRAILLE
[ Braille was recently used to transmit a greeting between the blind of America and those British men, women, and children who have been blinded during bombings. From the Lighthouse ' of the New York Association for the Blind, the message went by clipper to the American Lodge in Torquay, I Devon, the newest centre for the warblinded, and the third of its type to be operated in Britain by the B.W.R.S. Some of the victims were blinded too recently to be able to read Braille. The message said: "We send you greetings and best wishes. May the new B.W.R.S. American Lodge be of help to you, for we have long admired and been encouraged by the fortitude and bravery of the British people."
