Williams says so. He ought to know. He passed the fourscore and five mark so long ago it seems away off in thé distant past. Today he is observing his 92d birthday anniversery at his home, 105 Black Rock avenue. Henry Williams is all alone. True, he has his family. He has a son and daughter and a number of grandchil- dren. He has a splendid home and the best of carc. Nevertheless he is all alone. For him the world has stopped moving. Twenty-five years ago everything came to a standstill. The only things which did not stop were his playmates and friends of earlier days and they have passed on and gone to that other world, where he expects to join them soon. Surrounded by his family and with all the modern couveniences, he lives in the past, Totally blind for the past 25 years he has never scen a movie and other modern inventions are strange tales of mysterious achievements to him.
