Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-01-13

Mavor Wilson'S announcement that he will name a new
city plan commission together with a redlstrlctlng commit
lee Monday night is gratifying provided The Board OF Alder
men will back up the appointments with sufficient FUNDS 10
do something worth while for the city. 1t ought to be APP
parent to everyone by this time that a city plan and zonlng
is one o. the first essentials for a progressive city these days.
An article in the January issue OF the National Munlcipai
Review shows what wonderful progress has been made dur
ing 1921 along this line. Many cities all over the country,
both great and small, have gone in for EXPLAINING and zon-
ing and everybody, once the plans are adopted, is delighted.
1t is the only way that a person can be sure OF MS investment
in a municipality.
# is particularly desirable for Perth Amboy to have a
civ nlan when there are so many developments under way
and when the annexation talk is being revived. A modern,
up-to-date city will provide for residential sections and in
dustrial sections; it will have a plan laid out so that the resi-
Dental section will be provided with quick transportation to
and from the business section; a sewer system will be laid
out to be added as the plans are carried out. Building lines
will be established, shade trees will be maintained and the
section will be made altogether desirable.
The industrial section will be planned for the greatest
convenience for manufacturing. Plans for railroad and water
facilities will be prepared; all will work together for the
greatest economy and efficiency. Every manufacturer, by
examining the city plan, will know exactly what he can eX-
pect iii the way of municipal CO. cooperation.
The Port of New York development plan is a case in
point. For years the port has been growing in a hodge podge
manner without any cooperation and with the greatest
waste and ineficiency so that it costs as much to transport
Ia piece of freight from Chicago to New York as it does to
lighter it across New York harbor to the wharf where it is
to be loaded into a ship.
At last a comprehensive plan for the coordination OF
the whole port has been drawn. 1t means system and system
means speed, economy and efficiency.
Alderman at Large Calvin, in addressing the Board OF
Aldermen at the organization meeting, said it was time to get
behind the city and do something worth while. The only
way to do something worth while is to star. at the very foun-
dation with a plan for the city as a whole. Then when water
front problems and railroad siding propositions come up it
will be EASY to decide Just what is best for the city as a whole.
This is the first step in the building up of a greater city here
at the mouth of the Raritan.

a VALUED CITIZEN GONE

Tn the death of Jean Dubois Perth Amboy has lost a
valued citizen. He was a man of undring energy and I'M
bounded enthusiasm. OF this energy and enthusiasm he
gave unstintingly to the welfare and advancement of the
community in which he lived. While by no means a dreamer,
he was a man of vision. He saw the great possibilities of
the growth and development of Perth Amboy and was always
active in every cause that would advance the city's interests.
He believed thoroughly in Perth Amboy. '
In the Chamber of Commerce, in the waterways asso-
Citations, in club life and every organization to which he
belonged, he was an untiring worker. He was a man who
could be counted on and what he did always counted. His
zeal and enterprise was an inspiration to those who were as
ciated with him. He will be greatly missed.
But with all his civic activities Mr.. Dubois was a man
devoted to his family; his home life was most delightful. He
was a man that anyone would be glad to meet socially. He
was the best of company and entered into sports and enter
tainments as enthusiastically as he did the more serious side
of life.
Mr.. Du Bots was naturally optomistic. He never knew
what failure meant. Any setbacks that he might receive only
added to his determination to succeed. The brighter and
better side of everything was always uppermost in his mind.
During the war Mr.. Du Bots was one of the hardest
workers in the country's cause. In Liberty loan drives, Red
Gross campaigns, War Camp Community Service and in the
Council of Defense Mr.. Du Bots played a leading and most
worthy part. Much of the success that Perth Amboy achieved
in these great war enterprises was due to the untiring energy
and leadership of such men as Mr.. Du Bots. He spared moth
ing in his service 10 the country.
Even when his fatal illness was upon him he never gave
Gp.a He was still at the head of things that had for their pur-
pose the advancement of Perth Amboy. Only recently he
headed a delegation that appeared before the Port of New
York Authority to advance the interests of the Raritan bay
and river. 1t was due to his persistent fighting that recog-
milton was gained for this section in the first place. He saw
great possibilities here and he lost no opportunity to bring
those possibilities 10 the front.
Perth Anboy can i'll afford to lose Mr.. Du Bots. Men
Of his calibre are all too few. 1t isvwith keen regret and the
deepest sympathy for those who feel the loss most, therefore,
that the city today learns of the death Of one of her most
worthy citizehf. N go a~DS4s~ ~~s~s~

COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WELL

The trouble with many people is
that their appetite is particularly
fnicky at breakfast time and a good
housewife will be essentially careful
in her selection of foods for this
meal.
The tendency of late years has
been to get away from the hearty
breakfast. Such breakfast is all
right for the farmer or the hired
man or anyone engaged all day IN
lard manual labor, but the average
office or factory man can do more
and better work when the stomach
is not overloaded.
Fruit, a cereal, salt meat or fish,
eggs, hot bread, pancakes or waffles
and coffee-siX dishes in all-com-
Prise a breakfast hearty enough for
any hired man. One or two of these
dishes are light enough, too, for any
devotee of the mo breakfast" fad.
It@is a poor breakfast, however,
where fruit or cereal are omitted.
There are many attractive ways of
combining fruit and cereal that are.
gaining in popularity.
Any late cookbook will have any
number of novel dishes to tempt~the
fnicky breakfast appetite.

Daily Letter by Frederic }. Haskin \

takes up much moro space. Each
Moon type book requires more vol
unles, and so comparatively few are
| printed. David Copperfield," which
requires five volumes in Braille,
takes twenty-three in Moon type.
1t is not very difficult to learn to
| write Braille accurately, we are told.
| The basic form for the letters is Il
double row of dots, three high, like
the six spot on a domino. Each let
ter is composed of part of this pat
tern. To make the letter Il, for in
| stance, only the dot in the lower
right hand corner is omitted. To
make the letter a., which is much
more used. only one dot, that at the
upper right hand corner, is made.
Getting the dots even is made easy
by u metal slate which has rows of
oblong holes, or cells, one for each
letter in tho line of print, running
across the page. The position of
dots within the cell is guided by in
dentations along the edge of the cell,
sc that in a practiced hand the
blunt stylus punches the dots quickly
and easily.
When the page is truned over to
be read, the punched spots on the
working side become raised dots
about one-sixty-fourth of an inch
high. Slight as the raised points are
TO make them higher would make
the book more bulky-the sensitive
fore-finger of the blind reader can
quickly distinguish the difference in
the combination of dots. Because
the page has to be written on the
back, the words and sentences are
l,,.I% -, @1,a aor,;,t rrN- -;,l,t -
left, in looking glass fashion"
Writing by Machinery
The Braille typewriter is another
of the three mean of making books
for the blind. The typewriter has
only six keys, one for each dot that
may be used in a letter. To make
q letter, the proper keys are struck
simultaneously, like a cord. The
typewriter is a more speedy instru-
ment than the slate, but it is con-
siderably more expensive, costing
about $32.
The third and quickest method OF
Braille printing is on a printing
press. There are several publishers
and printers who make Braille
books. Most of their time is used in
making textbooks for schools for
the blind and standard works in
wide demand. The American Print
ing House for the Blind at Louis
Vile, Kentucky, receives a federal
subsidy of $780, 600 a year with which
TO print textbooks and collateral
reading for children in schools for
the blind This allows ah~ut $1.9(
worth of Braille reading for each
blind pupil. Aside from philan.
thropic gifts, there is no fund for
publishing books for adult blind.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Making
| books for blind veterans is the new
est kind of after the war work" to
become popular. Knitting needles
and embroidery hoops are being dis
carded for the metal slate and stylus
| with which Braille books are hand
written. Clubs and Red Cross chap
ters are busily punching out stories
and articles in the code of dots
which is the blind mans closest con-
Meeting link with written thought.
There is always a need for books
for the blind The big cities have
their Braille libraries, but the selec-
ton of books on the shelves is al
ways limited. The novel you buy
for n dollar or two and tuck in your
overcoat pocket would cost $40 in
Braille and would fill three or more
large tones
Libraries for the blind are slowly
. growing all the time, but since the
| war blind have been added to the
number to be provided with Braille
reading matter, the Red Cross de-
cided that extra effort was needed.
For three years six chapters of
the Red Cross have been making
Braille books. Last fall the National
Red Cross arranged to make this
| work a part of the national pro-
gram. Courses in Braille writing
were prepared by Mrs. Gertrude II.
Rider, librarian of the Room for the
Blind in the Library of Congress.
Certificates were prepared for those
| who should master the system in Or
| der to make books for the soldiers.
Miss Adelia Hoyt of the Reading
n So, {ha pl;nl yoy- that for
the present all books made by the
volunteers will go to evergreen, the
institute established by the Red
Cross at Baltimore for training
| blinded soldiers and sailors. Later,
u is planned to send books to big
circulating libraries for civilian
blind.
When the blinded soldiers and
sailors were first taken to Evergreen
there were scarcely any books in
Braille for them to use in learning
to read the type. But a band of
volunteers, both men and women,
began to transcribe stories n mag
azine articles into 'Braille under
Mrs. Riders direction.
Over 500 Books Transcribed
Miss Hoyt explains that las the
veterans learned to read with great
er facility and the transcribers be-
came more proficient, longer and
longer work was undertaken until at
the present time there is nothing
these devoted copyists will not and
cannot do. They have aided the
masseur, ~undaunted by long lists of
anatomical terms; they have helped
the French students by putting his
lessons into .Braille for him; they
have always been ready to transcribe
Just what was most needed, whether
for entertainment or serious study.

The scarcity of books to which a

variety of codes in which the books

persons read them all. But the ma
jority do not. The only books, there
fore, of service to them are those
printed in the system they have mas
tered.
Throughout the history of Braille
the various improved and modified
systems based on the, original have
been a problem. Finally, in 1917,
