By Herman N. Sundcsen, M.D. YOUNG people with diabetes are are in some danger of developing cataracts'of the eye. ? i, A cataract is a milky’ eioufidig ."the lens of the eye which off light from the inner the eye. and thus brings tm a form of blindness. Cataracts due to diabetes are fairly common, occurring almost always in, young people. It seems that a nerstop,who is finable to con-' trol the sugar ineLaboiism of his body is more prone to cataracts than a normal person. About two per cent of those with diabetes will develop the diabetic type of cataract. it is believed. It is interesting to note that those who develop this type of cataract are frequently suffering from a moderate form of diabetes, not a severe form* The typical diabetic cataract will- appear in a patient wfio is relatively well. Another point is that Minost all of these cataracts occur in the young. They have beon reported in children as young as 11 months, and are very common among adoltes- — ■

From Tenderfoot up, each step or grade brings with' it more ditficult tests to meet which chai-: lenge the boy to do his Scout training is designed to develop physical strength, mentpl alertness, and good moral character. ' ——O-« »-■■■ f King George VI Jwmu m 1 King George VI was a good king. The British monarch impressed the world with his sincerity, his exemplary family devotion, his kindness and all-around manners -of a real Christian gentleman. King George became the English ruler at a time when his kingdom was astir over the abdication of his brother, King Edr , ward now known as the Duke of Windsor. He fell into the royal robes without too much flurry and ruled in the best tradition of England’s good monarchs, t Beset with ill health!, King George underwent a fceriops operation Last fall, in which a> part, or all of a lung was removed. He made a gallant fight to regain bis health and like a trained, Briton, did it without complaint. He planned a voyage to Australia with the hope of benefiting his sagging health. He ascended the British throne in December, 1930. His successor is his eldest daughter. Princess Elizabitte, who now becomes Queen Elizabeth, and presumably is beloved by her countrymen. Ohly 25, this young lady of royal birth waa: tutored and groomed for the role of sovereign to fit the present emergency in the event of the death of her father. She is a | capable woman, a devoted mother .and apparently will be able to cope witlis the great responsibility that ha& been given to her. - < Americans extend their sympathy to the King’s family and at the same time wish Queen Elizabeth all the success in the world.

CHAPTER FORTY MELICK stalked back to the living room, where Joe was trying out his crSutches for first time. Joe was bored. He had been housed now for two months, with no interest in reading and few people coming to see him. “Wfiat’s Carl Strong’s telephone number T” “How should I know ?** Joe carefully waggled his hugely bandaged foot The best thing that could be said for crutches, he told himself, was that they got you off a couch. “Why?” “Because I want to talk to him! I want to tell him' if he doesn’t break this strike and get all his pupils back in school in jig time I’ll—l’ll-—” I i"What’ll you do? Break him?” he asked. “Itiwould serve him right enough. This never should have happened. If he was really running things as they should be run —if he had any control —” He stopped, hearing his own words as if .they have been spoken by someone else. Joe. looking across at his father, grinned. “Your necks out, anyway,” he said. “Why don’t you maker a clean sweep while you’re at It? Atwood, Kent and Strong.** His grin widened. "Strong doesn’t have tenure, you know. only in as long as he proves congetent.” Alvin made no answer. He was staring Into space. A clean sweep. It might be possible. A whole new group of men directing things in this town. And himself one of them. Yes, now was the time. He i grinned back at Joe. “Son, I begin to believe you’re a chip off the old block.” | Never in all the history of Crestwood had there been such a meeting as that Union Service held in the did armory da Patriots* Day, the nineteenth of April. Everyone seemed to be there. Certajinly a very large number of representatives from every church and organization and walk of life in town were to be found in the great hall. Hearing the growing murmur of sound as the place slowly filled, Constance, seated between Virginia and Philip, with Anno and Donald beyond Ginny, turned her head to look around. The Maxfields bad come. And the Flints. And the Ostroms. And all the Peebles. They filled a Whole row 'just across the aisle- What had brought them? Curiosity, perhaps, because Lucas Bannerman was to speak. • They would not for any other reason have heeded a summons from their deposed minister. Curiosity—and the human I desire not to be left out of any- . thing that might develop some importance. For, if that happened, they would want to be able to say, “I was there.” And then, with authority, voice an opinion in support of or in opposition to that impeft-tance. And thpre were the Strongs—bless them!—smiling and nodding to attract her attention. And back of -tfeem the Ezra Holdens. And the shutes — “Edwin Shute did a splendid job of publicity for us in his > paper about this,” Constance said in a low voice to Ginny. “Perhaps that’s why we have such a crowd here.” Virginia’s gray eyes twinkled.“You are modest. That’s only partly my dear. Your husband still ;is quite a drawing card to a good many people.” j i • L u „ ■ U„, j

“Perhaps.” “No ‘perhaps' about it Look about People from ail kinds of churches are here.” vConstance nodded. A little chuckle escaped Virginia. “Never—never as long as 1 live will I forget the look on the faces of the Peebles when I stood tap there last Sunday to sing the Easter solo!” “You were wonderful,” Constance murmured. "Barth and I will always cherish that memory.” ,6be looked at Ginny curiously. “Would you have joined, though, if you had known Barth was to leave the church?” “I’ve asked myself that And the answer, I think, is, ‘yes.* ” “You would?” Virginia nodded. “I’m quite sure of it Some of the joy, the interest, has gone, I will confess, with the knowledge that he is not to be there. But—well, he will be there, no matter what. If ever I falter, he will be there, I know, reminding me that ‘the church is the thing.’ ” Her glance strayed to Barth on the platform. “Wonderful parson,” she said softly. “WonAnne, on the other side, touched her mother’s arm. The Mehcks were coming, in with the Twings and had taken seats two rows niM—4 of them Not Joe, hpwever. Probably an evening of sitting on a hand chair in a narrow crowded space, where fie could not bend his teg, was more than he could up in the gallery,” Anne whispered, “ft’s pimply packed with young people.” Yea, there they were. Donald Kent’s students! A 'choir, made up of the best singers from all the churches, occupied the first two rows; and as the audience reseated themselves this choir stood to sing, without accompaniment, and with fervent dignity, a single verse of “Finlandia.” By now the last stragglers had entered, and the inner doors at the rear, guarded by Michael Flynn and one other policeman, were closed- In the silence that foßowed, Barth turned and nodded to the Reverend Henley, who stepped forward in his turn and led in a short prayer. When he had finished a quartet from Reverend Johnson’s Negro parish rose and moved to the edge of the stage and lifted their rich dramatic voices in a spiritual. And Barth, nodding his silvered head, thought to himself, We’re together now. They’re ready for the ■i speeches. \ The Methodist minister, Dr. Fancher, rose first. He did not need to tell his audience at this Union Service, he said, that we arc living in an atomic age. What fie wanted to talk about was the meaning of this age. He believed it meant that science and religion would now intermingle. That science, in the future, would be devoted to finding out how to improve man, rather than the things that man lived with and worked with. Indeed, were we not beginning to ask of the great ones of our era, not, “What have you got from the world ?” but, “What have you done for the world?** Our leaders, he said, must ask themselves this question. Fur our youth was beginning to ask it -of them. Our youth, who would toe • our leaders tomorrow, wanted men in places of power who were trained to give rather than to take, who knew that our heritage is one of giving.

Father Kelley, whose long lanky figure moved forward deliberately in acknowledgement of Barth’s wsrds.. He addressed himself with' case to his audience, tun bright glapce roaming constantly from one face to another in a continuIng challenge to them to heed himl “It is stupid,” he declared withewarm th, “to tell ourselves thaionly moral values can ultimately prevail and at the same timescheme to get by with underhanded maneuverings. We fail at the United- Nations gatherings. But; do we not, I wonder, fail elsewhere first? Where does failure begin? I’ll tell you where It begins. It begins in our homes, schools, and our churches.” He paused. “In. view of the world scene," he went on, “our denomi-. national differences are of "ho im-. portance. Our common ideals are; the important thing. \ And what are they? Do you even know what, they should be? Listen, then!” He. leaned forward and shook a bony? finger at his listeners. “They: should be to organize an Army of the Lord for service in the field, of ordinary living. And 1 meanj ordinary living. To let God speak to us about our everyday affairs. To' let Him rule the small de-„ cisions we must make in our fam**: lly matters, in our educational ib§l stitutions, and in the governmentpf" our town.” He paused “But I ask you if we have ? If We; do? If we are ever going to? lit we .are, it is time to begin.’’ g J He returned to his seat Rabbi| Levitt came next He was a shorfdark man with a fiery eye and repressed but eloquent manner o|f speaking, He talked of the contradictions! in bur culture today, those contra-: dictions which make it so difficuit to do Father Kelley suggested! and let God rule in our lives. He spoke of the way coin|| petition, on which democracy is| V ifilt, condones the breaking of mp al laws given us by Moses—|ript to lie. not to steal, not : tcy covet. Os the way we profess ;<* desire for peace yet are unwilling! to f make any real effort to that peace if it costs too much 14 dollars or in yotes. Os the way the Sabbath declaration of the Broth-j erhobd of Man is denied on weekdays by the fight for survival or for .the possession of greater riefips than we already have. Os the way we quote those great leaders who have gone before us—Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson—yet continue tc make expedient political deals. '* 'Barth, sitting there listening and looking out over the sea of faces ■before him. thought how like a play a gathering like this could be—should be. A gradual development A slow unfolding to a climax. And as long as it was, on audience would stay with It, following from point to point with interest and attention. Had they fallowed? He checked the progress made in swift and silent review.
