Mr. Sadowsky, interested in radio since he wgs a child, began studying to be an operator five years ago. A few weeks ago he passed the examination and became the first blind deaf mote licensed amateur radio operator in history. Mr. Sadowsky was born deaf, and -has never learned to speak. When he was almost two years old, he was playing with a salt shaker which fell to the floor and broke. A piece of glass struck the pupil of his left eye, making it useless. As he became older, the right eye, overtaxed, weakened, and at the age of 16 he became totally blind. Teacher Discourages. Five years ago, when he began study at the Institute for the Education of the Blind, his teacher, Robert Gundersoh, tried to discourage him from radio work*' saying that the subject would be almost impossible for a deaf person to master. He turned Mr. Sadowsky out of the class five or six times, but the youth refused to be dissuaded and his persistence eventually won Mr. Gunderson tp his side. Radio code signals were taught to him by means of a buzzer, on which he could lay his hand and feel a vibration when Mr. Gunderson rang a bell. Next, Mr. Gunderson, who is also blind, prepared a special course for him in Braille characters. La&r he learned to receive short wave signals through a switch attachment which received radio signals and cut them from a frequency of 2,000 to 3,000 cycles a second to 200 cycles or less. The lower frequency caused a vibration which he could feel through his hands. When he was ready to take his examination, a new difficulty pame up. Government regulations' state that short wave signals must be transmitted through earphones! It is difficult for Mr. Sadowsky to feel vibrations through earphones but he learned to do even this by a switch which received <the signal and then relayed it by sending a 60-cycle current through the earphones. gleans Much to Him. The fact that he is now a licensed amateur radio operator means much to Mr. Sadowsky. Until now he has been able to communicate only with the limited number of persons who can use the touch system of spelling out words by tapping their fingers on his palm.

It is rooted in 1 fact that lime juice was served as a rich source of vitamin C in the days when "vitamins" were practically unknown. It was long served to sailors on British ships at sea in order to prevent scurvy. Nickname "lime-juicer" was used of British ships before 1880 but ecame obsolete and in this century was replaced by slang word "limey." RUPTURED? a DWDuiMtd bwom* You or* no.

Saved Legless Ace in 20,000 Foot Jump LONDON. -- Calling the episode the "most dramatic five minutes of the war," the Daily Express told how the Spitfire planes of legless R.A.F. Wing Commander Douglas R. Bader's squadron covered that ace's 20,000 foot parachute jui ip over German territory last mohth. Bader told his squadron he must leave his plane and his second in command promptly gave the order to "see him safely to the grpund, nothing else matters." "So as he floated down, the Spitfires spiralled around him in a protective coil, their circles ever shifting as he drifted with the wind lower and lower until he had only a few hundred fert to go," the paper said. "They watched him come to earth. They could do no more." By agreement with the Germans, who captured Bader, the R.A.F. dropped another artificial leg to replace the one he damaged in the parachute landing. FOR SALE--iBaled Corn Stalks and Hay. Stephen N.
