PROTEST TO GOV. EARLE
AS WOMAN DIES IN JAIL


Easton, PA mass meeting to
protest the death Of a Negro mother
in prison was held here this week
at Shiio Baptist Church. A report
by the Investigating committee that
inquired into the death of MRS. Potilo
who died in the Easton County Jail
where she Was taken in an insane
condition, comprised the main report
of the meeting.
The committee found that Mrs.
Potilo was refused admission to the
Allentown State Hospital on the pre-
tese that the hospital was over
crowded. The husband of the dead
woman was induced to sign a docu-
ment under the impression that she
was being cared for while In reality
he was committing her to Jail.
The speakers at the meeting urged
the audience to take action to pre-
vent further occurrence of such Incl.
dents. A resolution sent to Governor
George E. Earle urged he investigate
the case. Speakers included the Rev.
Rozelle of the Shilo Baptist Church,
William Patterson of the Philadel-
phia Longshoremen's Union, Witold
Tilwick, chairman of the investigat-
ing committee, and l.. j. Bravernlan,
section organizer of the Communist
Party.

GOOD LIGHT AND GOOD SIGHT
BY Lewis III. Carfis
Managing Director of the Naticnal
Society for the Prevention Of
Blindness

Scientists tell us that the human
eye is simply a protrusion of the
brain. The eyes are more commonly
referred to as the windows of the
soul. Scientists and laynen agree
that the eye is not only the most
complex organism in the Human
body, but probably the most valuable
organ and certainly one that most
readily accommodates itself to di-
verse conditions Because our eyes
are so accommodating because they
automatically adjust and readjust
themselves many thousand times a
day without any conscious effort on
our part; and because they may be
long 0Verworkcd before giving any
sign of being tired, they are also the
most frequently abused organ of the
body Much of this abuse of the
eyes may be traced directly to their
use under improper lighting condi-
tons. That is the reason for this
article on GOOD LIGHT AND GOOD
SIGHT.
First of all, let me ask and answer
the question: What is good light ?"
Any light may be good whether it
be sunlight, gas light or electric
