It may be a little early to talk about making garden and mowing the lawn, but now is the time to plan for lawn beautification. We should make it a city-wide project, with every home owner entering into the campaign, intent on making the town not only a place of beautiful homes, but its miles of street lined with attractive lawns. Well kept lawns reflect pride in home ownership. 0 o Baseball players are still among the high salaried men of the country. Joe DiMaggio, the Yankee clipper, with salary and bonuses will earn approximately $90,000 and Bobby Feller, the Cleveland Indians twirler, will be able to earn upwards to $72,500. That’s better than presidents of many big corporations receive and three to four times as much as Army Generals are paid. Only the movie actors top the baseball salary scales. o o President Glen Hill and directors of the Chamber of Commerce, are awakening civic interest and instilling new life in local affairs, through close contact with citizen groups. Opinions and suggestions on activities which step up the town, are being received in informal gatherings and keen interest is displayed by those who wish to help make Decatur a better place in which to live. A town can’t be perfect, but by doing a little each ■ year, a five or ten year period will : see many fine things accomplished. ■■■■o— o—Just one hundred years ago James K. Polk died. He had retired from the presidency only three months before. His newest biographer, Mrs. Martha Mcßride Morrel, is authority for the statement that some newspapers did not even mention his death. In some cases this may have been due to the furious partisanship of the times, in others to plain lack of attention to their business. Whatever criticisms may be levied against present-day newspapers, not one would be guilty of so colossal a failure to report news.

Treatment of Cross-Eye Should Start Early

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. WE have, from time to time in this column, told mothers that, shortly after birth and thereafter a young baby should be given a thorough physical examination. And one of the important things that j should be noted is the child's via- < ion. Poor eyesight in ‘ grown ups" too often comes from neglect of some simple eye difficulty in early life Even though the eyes are perfectly sound at birth, the eyesight may be lost through lack ot use of the eyes if anything should interfere with the stimulation of vision during the period of eye development, such as eye diseases Croeseye is probably the most important eye defect requiring early treatment, usually before the age ot six. The crosseye most often is due to a defect in vision, such as farsightedness Croeeeye may be the result of an injury at the time of birth, ceasing paralysis of one of the eye muscles, or it may develop when the vision of the eye is lost through some disease If the vision in one eye is not as good as in the other, the child is not able to look at an object with both eyes, so that the eye which is worse turns in. This frequently happens when the child s resistance is lowered as a result of some ilness early in childhood Jn treating croeseye. should be fitted as soon as possible. This may not be until the child is id months tc two years ot age. Ex ercLc ot ths. c.(~ and traiiuag

No trial in world history since the beginning of Christianity has been more universally condemned than the one which convicted Cardinal Mindszenty, the Hungar- ■ ian primate. It was a conviction by the Communist-dominated govern- ' ment, not a trial. Protests have been sent to the government by members of Congress, official bodies in England and even the Hungarian consulate in the United States, expressed opposition.. If Mindszenty were guilty as charged, the Communists would have hanged him, instead of giving him a life prison sentence. o 0 — One thing is certain, this county could use several hundred thousand dollars to repair and improve its roads. The farmers want bjpck top and in many places this material should be used in providing modern highways. The highway department is limited to funds received from the state gasoline tax and it appears that road needs far exceed the money available for materials. What this and other counties will do to meet the emergency, is a matter for the legislature to decide. More funds should be provided for road improvements. o o—r— Business Plateau: Business and government people seem to be reassuring each other that signs do not point to an unhealthy business setback this year. The question is raised by slumps in some lines of business where it is hard to decide whether the let-down is only seasonal or something more, and by a downward turn of prices in many lines of goods. In calculating the significance of the price trend, one of the things recalled is the break in the commodity market which occurred in February of last year. There was much excitement at the time, but the final outcome in food prices was only a very mild downward movement which did not set I in until late fall. Business leaders now are saying that the price reductions which ' have taken place have brought about sufficient increase in buy ing to make deeper price cuts generally unnecessary, and that the rising curve of prices is going to become a plateau at about the present level. What seems clear is that there is now an end of most of the needs i which were so pressing they had i to be filled at any price. Customers > now are generally weighing the i price of an article critically against their desire to have it. The outl come of this balancing process . will determine whether business > remains on a plateau or falls off in . a serious recession.

be necessary. Sometimes the good eye is kept covered for a period of hours each day, which helps the development of the defective one. Surgery may be required, especially it the crosseye is due to paralysis l of the eye muscles. There are other eye defects also such as nearsightedness, farsightedI ness and astigmatism. Nearsightedness in young child ren does not get worse. Severe astigmatism, which occurs when the front part of the eyeball is not perfectly shaped, should be corrected with glasses. Farsightedness needs no correction until later on in childhood. ■ If parents become to much concerned about normal disturbances ’ ’ of this type, the child may become what is known as eye-conscious and develop tics or habit spasms. Eye infection of various types may occur with symptoms such as redness, pain and tearing. These, of course, should receive prompt treat- ’ ment by the physician. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS » iM.

Dr. Charles Kaadt Starts Prison Term Physician Taken To Terre Haute Prison Fort Wayne, Ind.. Feb. 9 —(UP) — Dr. Charles Kaadt, elderly South Whitley (physician convicted with hjs brother of selling a worthless diabetic remedy in interstate commerce, was removed to Terre Haute today to start a three-year federal prison term. His brother. Peter Kaadt, who reportedly has been suffering from a heart ailment in Portland, Ore., : will be taken into custody within the ijext few days, authorities said. The Kaadt brothers, Charles. 74, and Peter, 76, were found guilty in a sensational trial here last May of introducing a worthless diabetic remedy of saltpeter and vinegar in ■ interstate commerce. During the 1 trial it was testified that the two | brothers also prescribed the worthless remedy’ for patients in the widI ely-attended Kaadt diabetic clinic | which they operated at South Whitl ley. j >A federal district court jury

found them guilty of violation of the pure food and drug act, and they were sentenced to three years imprisonment and fined $ < .000 each.. The U. S. -circuit court of appeals i at Chicago upheld their convictions last December, but granted them a stay of mandate to allow them to appeal their case to the U. S. supreme court. Their stay of mandate expired last week, and their attorney here announced the brothers had given up further defense plans and were ready to serve their sentences. Authorities have indicated a possibility that Peter Kaadt might be sent to a federal hospital instead of prison because of his heart condition. w i ■ ““
