Dangers to the Child at

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. CHILDREN have a natural curiosity, especially about things ! higher than their own eye level. It Is sometimes wise for a parent to lift a child up and show him what goes on above him, in order to satisfy his curiosity. Imaginative precaution is a necessity around eager little minds. •** Possible Sources Recently, we were appalled to hear of & group of childrep being killed 14 discarded refrigerators which : were accidentally shut while playing. This has set many parents "to looking around for possible sources of danger to their precious ones. If old refrigerators must be saved, such precautions as removing the doors will keep them from becoming death traps. Tablecloths should not hang over the side of the table so that little children can pull at them and perhaps pull hot liquids down upon themselves. Hot liquids shduld be placed in the middle of the table, out of a child’s reach. ' Pot handles should not stick out over the edge of the stbve. Cigarette lighters and matches should be kept out of children’s reach, i . |

sure of the feelings of farmers in other states? The Republican defeat in a recent special congressional election in Wisconsin was generally attributed to farmers dissatisfied with the Benson policies. . o o— — The Greenback party candidate for president in 1948 died recently. In the 70’s and early 80’s there was strong influence for the party's issue to pay off the Civil War debt .by issuing greenbacks, or government currency. In the 1948 election the Greenback ticket was filed only in the state of Washington and it appears that the people aren’t sold on the get-rich-scheme for government financing. If such an impractical method could be used today, the government could save about six billion dollars in interest on its bonded debt. o o Brainwashing is no joking matter, but it begins to look as if women had been practicing it on men long before the term was coined, probably, in fact, since time immemorial. ’ Take, for example, the case of the London woman whose husband returned to England a victim of Red “brainwashing." She didn’t like her husband’s new ideas, and justifiably so. She didn't turn him out of the house, pr turn him over to the police, or anything else so drastic. After becoming fed up with his preaching, she gave him an ultimatum. He must choose between her and Communism. “I gave him three months to make up his mind,” she said. She won. o o If hunters complain about the lack of game, even to fewer rabbits an<J few pheasants, it may be from the fact that the countryside is being denuded of wildlife. Many rabbits,'opossum and other animals are killed on the highThe hunting season adds to the fatality toll. A case .in point in this discussion of the lack of wildlife is the Illustration of the passing of the prairie chicken. Flocks of these thumping birds were once estimated in the millions and conservation authorities now say the birds number only a few hundred thousand. We should do something to preserve left of our wildlife.

Postage Stamps If you wish to remove postage stamps from an envelope, or it they are stuck together, place under a sheet of thin paper and run a hot iron gently over the paper. Boiling Eggs If the eggs are dipped in cold water before putting them in the polling water, the snells will not crack.

A child will put almost anything in his mouth. Therefore poisons and medicines should be kept out of reach, as well as pins, buttons, and needles. Electric fans and heaters are also Instruments of possible danger to the child. Every year, many children are very seriously injured by falls down stairs. These accidents could be prevented by placing a simple gate at the head of the stairway. Windows should bp barred, and screens should be well fastened, for they hold a great fascination for children with a bent for climbing and an Interest In the outside world. Attention to these simple matters may do much to avoid many accidental deaths and injuries. QUESTION AND ANSWER Miss B: Can a brain tumor cause blurred or fuzzy vision? Answer: There are many diseases that cpn cause the symptoms you describe. They can be due to a nervous disease or eye disease, as well a* a brain tumor. It would be advisable sos you to have a thorough physical examination by your physician a# soon as possible, to determini the exact 'cause if you have such symptoms, . <

Young Continuing Feud With Craig Carries Feud To Attorney General INDIANAPOLIS UP — Wilbur Youpg, state superintendent of public instruction, took his feud with Governor Craig abqtft appointive powers to the Indiana attorney general today. Young said he will ask Edwin K. Steers Jr. for an opinion on Craig’s authority to disapprove Young's appointees. He made the statement Craig refused to approve Dawes C. Phillips, Owensville, as school lunch inspector. Phillips, a former Gibson county GOP chairman, recently opposed Craig forces in the selection of a new 7th district Republican chairman. Horace Coats, Craig’s executive secretary, said the governor’s authority was based on a 1933 law giving him power to appoint all but two employes of elected officers. The exceptions are personal secretaries and deputies. ■ \ ■■■>.. ' • • p-A y — 0 t Modern Etiquette | BY ROBERTA LEE I 0_ : o Q.

Haven phones the latter's apartment only to learn , that Libby had not been there.. Kit hastens by train to the Denfleld bouse , where she and her Uncle Philip, and her Aunt Miriam, a neurotic, are iolned by Hugo Cavanaugh, an attractive voting attorney who once had courted Kit. but who had switched his affections to Libby. Search of Libby's room reveals a note, urging her family not to worry, promising that they shall hear from her soon. An unfamiliar ilgaret butt tn the room might indicate that Libby had had a male visitor. Kit's thoughts fly to classically handwme Tony Wilder whom Libby had met at a party In New York, how she’d seemed completely overwhelmed by that god-like young man’s charm. i CHAPTER FOUR AFTER William had gone upstairs Kit tried Daisy Ballentine again, without success. Hugo went at IL He said: ’There Isn’t anything more 1 can do here. Let me know as soon as there’s word." The next two hours were a long stretch of waiting for Libby’s voice on the telephone, for a telegram. There was neither. Early in the morning Kit got Daisy on the phone. "Wilder, Wilder . . . You want his address ? My dear, 1 don’t kno w. - By the way, Parasol's thinking of asking to have you sent to Pahs to do the fall collections. But we can talk about that later, when you’re, in your new job. George la a love to have snared it for you. You’re taking a little vacation tn the country, I suppose! What? You’re anxious to locate Tony Wilder? I’ll tell you—cal) a hag in her late 40’s who dyes herself 80, and fancies the boys. Name, Eleanor Oaks. She was talking about Tony the other day." Eleanor Oaks answered the phone with melting friendliness, but when Kit turned out to be feminine, she said: "Go away and come back later,” in a sleepy mutter. '• Kit said hurriedly: "It’s about tfony Wilder I’m calling. Tiave you got his address, Miss Oaks ?” ■ ; "What do you want to see Tony about?” "A business matter,” Kit said riskily.

mg. it was nair way Between two worlds, neither shabbily smart nor frankly a tenement. She went in and rang Wilder's belt There was no answering dick. His apartment was on the second floor. She went up a narrow staircase covered with grimy carpeting. When she was almost at the top she heard a click as though a door were being üb< locked but no one appeared. She continued to mount. Wilder’s door was like the others, a slate gray with a dull brass knob and a bell in a chipped ring of metal She pressed the belt Someone was playing a piano somewhere. There was no other sound, and there waa no answer. Wait a minute: she hadn’t heard the bell ring. Maybe it was out of order. She knocked; No answer. Irritated, she tried the knob. To her surprise it turned in her hand. The door wasn’t locked She stared at it hesitantly. Wilder might have gone out to get break* fast. She opened the door and closed it behind her. She was in a small hall, half of which was a kitchenette. An archway led into a living-room. The room was empty. It was sparsely furnished with r divan covered with a brown spread, two decrepit; armchairs, a straight chair, a; three-way lamp and some small tables. A single window, looking oh another court and the back ot houses and a collection of Ore escapes, let gray light in. Rainstreamed down the clouded panes..* Kit looked around. The place had a deserted, unlived-in air. There were clean ashtrays around. l£ Tony Wilder’ smoked ki n g-s iz e cigarets it would be proof of a sort. There was a door at the far end of the room, probably the bedroom door. There might be cigarets in there. Again Kit hesitated. She felt nervous and hideously uncomfortable. She was an intruder in a strange man’s apartment, but now that she was here she might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb. She opened the door and gasped. There was’a man standing motionless backed against the inner wall between a bureau and a straight chair. One hand was in the pocket of his gray flannel suit jacket, the other on the chair back. The man was Hugo. The two of them came to life simultaneously. Hugo’s posture rel‘ax«L ”Kitl It’s so Infernally dark in here. ... 1 thought you were Wilder.” "And I thought you were.” “Did I scare you?” "You did.” They went Into the living-room and she said: “The door was open and I walked in. 1 got the address through Daisy Ballentine.

We might as well gO;” Kit said: “I was trying to find out about his cigarets?’ “He smokes king-sized ones, all right” Hugo pulled out the drawer of a table under the window and showed her a pack. "But it doesn't mean too much —a lot of other people smoke them. Come on.” They were on their way to the door when it opened and the superintendent came in. He was a thin, weedy man. He looked curiously at Kit. Hugo said to him: “I don't think Til wait, after all.” Kit said to the superintendent: "We re very anxious to get in touch with Mr. Wilder. What about the other tenants in the building? Was he friendly with any of them ? Perhaps they'd be able to tell us something.” The superintendent shook his head. "No, miss, never saw him speak to no one or no one speak to him.” He thought for a moment. ’Tell you what, though, a cousin of my wife’s cleans for Mr. Wilder and she’s doing the Blessingly > Wampoles’ today.

Think McCarthy Grooming Self For Presidency Wisconsin Solon Endless Subject For Discussion \ WASHINGTON, UP — There is ample evidence here that some distinguished administration Insiders believe Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy is grabbing for the 1956 Republican presidential nomination. It appears, also, that the administration is not ready for an open break with the junior senator from Wisconsin. Administration strategy seems to be based on the idea that if McCarthy is given enough rope, he will hang himself. There is little comment on McCarthy for publication. But he is an endless subject of private discussion—a situation which is said by visitors 16 Washington to exist generally throughout the nation. Whatever the senator’s political objectives may be, these facts emerge clearly: He is the most controversial figure in the United States today. He has a very large following. The belief that he was running for president spread widely after McCarthy’s televised address last week replying to former President Truman’s remarks about “McCarthysim” in connection with the Harry Dexter White espionage expose. McCarthy challenged President Eisenhower in that speech on several issues, including an alleged softness toward Communism. The most widely publicized of thy’s challenges on policy had to do with Communism as a political issue in the 1954 congressional elections. “The raw, harsh, unpleasant fact,” McCarthy said, “is that Communism la an Issue and will be an issue in 1954." Republican national committee chairman Leonard W.\ Hall had saicj just about the same thing earlier this month when the White case was blazing. Mr. Eisenhower was asked at his news conference about Hall’s statement. Several questions were put to the President. His replies ran to several hundred words since have been somewhat carelessly reduced by writers and commentators to a brief expression of hope that the issue of Communism would have disappeared by election time next year. . Re-examination of Mr. Eisenhower’s remarks shows that he made three points -with respect to Communism-in-government. 1. He hoped and believed firm action by the executive department would have disposed of the Reds-in-government business before the next campaign. 2. He did not challenge the right of congress to investigate but, very obviously, fejt that cleahup of the executive department was a job for the executive department. C 3. He hoped the job would be done well and quickly enough to permit campaign concentration 5 on other urgent problems, such as taxes, farm relief> and the general welfare. • ' ’ That was Mr. Eisenhower’s position. But it is well known that some of bis associates understood, when the Harry Dexter White ease was raised last month as a political issue, that it <was merely the beginning of a series of pxposes which they hoped would severely damage Democratic election chances- L ■'' . The White case was revived and its bitter aftermath of dispute touched off, not by McCarthy, or a congressional committee, but by attorney general Herbert Brownell, Jr. It remains to be seen whether Brownell toss another fire bomb as that. Meantime, *the hopse un-Ameri-can activities committee, McCarthy's permanent Investigating subcommittee and Sen.-William E.
