The dry spell has been broken, a prelude to the advent of autumn. o So many things are “stressed' nowadays that life seems to be mostly a matter of stresses and strains. Next Saturday night you can regain that hour of sleep you lost last April when daylight saving time arrived Set back the clock one hour and you'll still be in time for church. —o o Decatur has a business district of sufficient sixe to accommodate growth of commercial establishments. without invading the rest dential districts. Then too. if commercial concerns are located in the residential areas, they do not have the advantage of routine police protection. Q -fl Many newspapers are inquiring as to Gov. Dewey's stand on national and international questions. So far, the New York chief and GOP presidential candidate has been cagey with his utterances The Journal-Gazette, concludes editorial on this phase of Dewey s stand, with What manner of man is it that the Republican party has nominated as Its candidate for president in 1948? Where does he stand? in what direction will he turn, if elected?" o O— Little old Rhode Island is giving i the Republican national committee a lot of trouble Primary fights have split the party and the Democrats under the leadership of Na tional Chairman McGrath are putting on a campaign that indicates the election of a Democrat senator. Republican money Is being poured into the state, but President Truman still remains the popular choice among the large number of factory and industrial workers. It looks like Rhode island will remain in the Democrat column in November o o in discussing final European action in World War 11, 'The Secret Papera of Harry L Hopkins" has touched on a point which is of more than simple historic interest. The notes of Hopkins say 'here was no secret agreement among the Allies to permit Russia to enter Berlin first. The notes of Hopkins, claim that American troops halted short of Berlin not to accommodate the Russians but because they had run too far beyond their supply

When a Child Is Cross-Eyed

By Herman N. Bundesen, M 0 T(M) many parent* have the idea that time alone will correct crosseye. It Is never safe to assume, as so many parents unfortunately do. that the baby with crossed eye will have outgrown the condition by the time he is ready for school. Much s child should be taken to an eye specialist as soon as bis trouble is noticed To wait in the hope that it will dlsapftoar of Itself, is to neglect it at the time when it moat readily can be corrected -durins the earliest years of life A number of factor* must be considered when cross-eye is present, e.g.. whether there Is good vision in both eyes, and whether the per son to able to fuse or brine together the image* seen by each eye so that only one image, instead of two. is seen Paralysis of various eye muscles may be Involved in cross-eye. In certain children, cross-eye shows up only when they are tired or excited Whether or not glasses should be put on the child will depend on the severity at the eye defect There to some disagreement as to when blammni eaa be worn satisfactorily | by a young child. Frequently, a baby at the age of from U U» U moth* caa be fitted with rUase* b/ BMd 4 yrotacu « frts* la gar event the earlier the treat-

lines. Although the point has little to do with what now Is transpiring tn Berlin, It would be Interesting and desirable to settle it. ■ o o t A woman scientist has built a new type of sun-heated house that 1 needs no auxiliary heating unit l other than a device for trapping the rays of the sun, and intends to ’ live in it comfortably, next win 1 ter. The house, located near Bos . ton, where the sun's ray Is not any warmer than in this section, cost 520,00 V of which 53.000 was for the solar unit. If thia experiment proves successful, the old heating problem may be solved for nearly everybody. o o The Homesteads addition and Stratton Place are subdivisions with restrictions as to building and location of commercial enterprises in those areas As residential districts these areas are protected against infiltration of merchantile or commercial establishments. This restriction gives property owners the assurance that dwellings will not be subject to penalties In insurance rates, because of hazards that might crop up from time to time. The rest of the city should have these same privileges, for no property owner wants a commercial business placed next door to him. thus creating an exposure which insurance companies rate heavier than on residences. o —a Some Dewey supporters have let their enthusiasm carry them to the point of predicting 20 years ol Republican rule. They forget how quickly large sections of opinion J can shift In 1920, 1924 and 1928 the ' Republicans won by three sucres sive landslides. After the last one. I 1 some Republicans openly predicted trtat, with a leader as widely and ' favorably known as Hoover, they were sure to stay in power tor a generation Everyone knows what happened. The three Republican; landslides were followed by four' even bigger ones for Franklin Roosevelt. What may happen in ,1948 is little indication of what I will happen In 1952. particularly ' with the world in its present flux World-shaking events may take place in the next four years, and completely alter the political picture. o o— The Indiana History Bulletin asks the question. "Why does | every city and town want to be bigger.” The Bulletin takes the position, and rightfully so. that sixe 1 does not make for happiness Fol-1 lowing its own argument. It says. "Do the people of Indianapolis ■ live better than those in Richi mond Are the residents of New i York happier than those in Inf dianapolla." Problems of growth, sewer and sanitation, building of i schools and traffic congestion are s ever present in the metropolis, the r Bulletin argues A county seat i, town of around ten thousand popu 1 latlon. to Us. seems the Ideal place c to live. In that size town, the peo y pie can work closer in building a y community in which to live

ment for cross-eye to started, the better will be the results Other method* of treatment used consist of an occlusion or blocking off of one eye with a pad so that the other may be used Mclnslvely. Bye exercises also are at times of great help in improving the ability of fusing the Images in both eye*. These exercises are used principally before and after operation*. which may he required in some cases of cross-eye. In certain types of eross-eye. early operation may be advisable, particularly In those children born with cross-eye due to some disturbance of the eye muscles In the larger group of cases which start under the second year, operation, as a rule, to delayed until other form* of treatment have been tried Only after the wearing of glasses and the use of muscle exercises have been given a fair trial, should operation be considered. Il would seem best that when operations are needed they be done before the child enters school QUESTION BAND ANSWERS J .
