Dickens Gift Stili Helps w ATfcMiTflWN Mass. (UP) A gift made Rl years ago by Charles Dickens has paid a final $31.65 dividend to the Perkins Institution for the Blind. Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, then director of the institution's Howe Press, wrole a long letter to Dick ens Feb. Ill, 1868. "Lend me your heart for a mo- ihn ltier heuan. It asked Dickens to pay for the cost of em bossing one of his books for the blind. Dickens selected "The Old Curi osity Shop" and supplied $1,700 for v'mbossing 250 copies of his work. The book was printed in Boston Lint-Type, a reading system then used for the blind. When Boston Line Type was re placed by Ihe easier-to-read Braille system, the only set of "The Old Curiosity Shop" then on file was placed in the institution's museum. Many copies of. the embossing Dickens had paid for were distrib uted free to "meritorious gradu ates" of other American schools for Ihe blind. Others were sold at cost about $15 for bound sets in three volumes and half that sum for unbound sets. The plates which Dickens' $1,700 gift provided remained in store rooms of the Howe Press. Now they have been sold for scrap because institution officials felt they no longer had a practical value. Their sale yield $31.65. How Georee Washington Became French Citizen SANTA BARBAHA, Cal. (UP) France made Georeg Washington an honorary citizen in 1792. till inn hv the French na tional assembly conferring the honor on Washington is contained in a document given to the library of Santa Barbara College. It reads in part: "Men who by their writings and by their courage have served Ihe cause of liberty and prepared the way for the emancipation of Un common people cannot be regarded as foreigners by a nation which has become free because of ils en lightenment and courage." WASHINGTON Another airlift Is flying food to one of the wildest parts of the world partly because camel drivers can't get sardines to feed camels. Beports from Aden, on the southern coast of Arabia, -tvcal that British Royal Air Force DC-3s are dropping about 400 tons of wheat to some 80,000 famished inhabitants of the isolated Had j ramaut valley. I Camels were tried at first, but !the drivers couldn't get sardines I for their beasts because the fish I didn't run close enough to shore I for this year's catch. Sardines are ! standard fodder for camels, and when they didn't get any they went I on what resembles a sit-down strike. The Hadramaut. which resem bles the Grand Canyon in this coun try and runs for hundreds of miles, is quite fertile when it has rain, producing crops of wheat, millet, barley and a native grain called durrah. But the valley has lacked rain for more than a year and half now, and the Hadrami arc starving. The Hadrami have been living for many years on money which the men have earned as hotel-keep ers in the Dutch East Indies, wnn conditions as they are in the Dutch East Indies, the Hadrami no long er can bring home the silver. They can't buy anything, can't raise any thing, hence the famine. Thouch the area is one of the world's most primitive, it is famous for its skyscrapers, some rising about 14 stories with mud walls six I feet thick. I The Hadrami marry early, pro ! duce a family, go out to the Indies while voung, get rich and return to home and family after 20 years. Because of the great wealth that many of them have made abroad, there are a few autmobiles, one or I wo electric light plants. The autos have to be taken in in pieces on camel's backs, though some roads are now being built. The Hadramaut is part of the ancient incense country. In Solo mon's time the Hadrami built up a tremendous trade to the Medi terranean along what acheologists call Ihe "incense trail." Now they have little contact with the out I side world except on rare occas ions like the present airlift. No Meter So No Nickel, Girl Convinces Police HOCKY MOUNT, N. C.
