Foreign News: Berlin for Blindmen
Long-boned Heinrich Sahm, towering Lord Mayor of Berlin, announced last week a great civic improvement, completed despite the pinch of German poverty.
"On most of our leading streetcorners blind persons will now find maps in high relief," said Long Heinrich. "By feeling these maps the blind will be able to direct themselves to subway stations, street car and bus stops, and generally to find their way around Berlin with the minimum possible inconvenience."
