INJURIES TO THE EYE

Good sight is very important. All
types of work, be it common labor
or clerical, demand good vision for
efficiency. However, during a life
of super-activity as exists in this
twentieth century, the maintenance
of the eyes free from accident is
very hard.
Injuries to the eye occur very
frequently. The degree varies
from an almost total destruction to
an apparently minor scratch. The
major injuries are usually given
the proper care because the alb
normality is evident. But many of
these small injuries are untreated.
Many Of these latter cases are of
no ultimate Importance but occa-
sionally some seemingly harmless

depression is retreating; not much
doubt about that in any informed
mind. But the significant thing in
that connection is that better times
simply means pardonable reason
for the government to drop its
WPA and other welfare efforts
that have given needy people work
and when that is done goodby to
the opportunities that have so
helped the colored people. All of
US know that even with the return
of good times it will be many a
day before all of those now enjoy
ing the benefits of government aid
in jobs are going to be placed in
similar jobs by business.
So it becomes a matter of grave
concern to our people, and should
be the equally grave concern of
our leaders, in church or civic or
CARNATIONS, as to the manner in
which we are using our spending
power to increase the possibilities
of more and extended work.
But what can we do about it,
asks one. Not much, perhaps, but
we can think about it and we can
talk about it. And better still we
can see to it that the money we in
dividually dispose Of is given to
the business firms that do give our
group some consideration.
You would be surprised, perhaps,
as / myself have been surprised at
the large number of white people
who have had no idea of the cOndi-
tiOns, especially the economic con-
ditions surrounding the cOIored
population of these Twin Cities.
During the course of the current
interracial discussions this fact has
been brought home to me in a very
definite way.
We can carry this information to
many more people than it has
reached before. The Urban League
can be urged to increase it's efforts
to send it through more speakers
to more centers of the white COM
munity. The Ministers Alliance
can most effectively contact vital
sources of active influence through
its church affiliations. And your
press that is entirely unhampered
in its connections and thoroughly
unafraid can and will continue to
print its broadsides against the
determinations tn at fret us
whether they flow from conscious
effort or are the result of lamenta-
BILE lack of knowledge of the facts.

case later causes marked impair
ment of vision or loss of an eye.
The minor injuries that one
should keep in mind are the lodge
ment of foreign bodies in the eye
such as a cinder, the scratching of
the lining of the eye by some rough
object such as a tree branch or
wire, the splashing Of some solu-
ton, acid or alkaline, into the eye.
Usually in these cases, the eye is
carelessly washed, wiped, or just
left alone. Often the foreign body
is left to work itself out.
If a complication occurs it starts
as an liberation of the lining of
the eye. When this liberation is in
the cornea (the area through which
one sees) often dire results obtain
such as complete loss of vision or
marked impairment. liberation
may be so severe that the area be-
low the surface may be involved.
When this occurs usually the eye
is of no more value and has to be
removed.
Remember that any eye injury
should not be considered lightly.

Annapolis one! For half a century
it gave tireless service, day or night,
week day or Sunday, in peace or
war. Eleven governors this tele-
phone served, and it played it's part
in many an important historic event
in Maryland. Now, Annapolis 1 is
gone, but it will not be forgotten,
for the old instrument is to have
an honored place in the Museum of
the Maryland Historical Society.
This telephone, the first in An
napolis, which for so years and more
served Maryland's chief executives,
was installed in the early part of
1884 in the Office of Governor Nc
Lane, in the executive mansion. 1t
was no ordinary instrument, this
telephone of 1884, but a special
cabinet type" which was installed
for important people only.
The then Governor Robert M.
McLane, it is recorded, watched as
it was being installed, and was
shown how he could pull chair up
to the desk like instrument and

BEACON LIGHT
ADVENTIST

Sabbath May 1 was Home Mis-
sionary day, with Mrs. G. Palmore
leading. A well planned program
was rendered. The subject for dis
cussion for the month of May is
"Our Neighbor." This is to remind
us of our duty to send the gospel
message to the foreign speaking
people. Mrs. Grace Wilson sang
very acceptably vocal solo,
"Others." After the report given
by Mrs. Pearl Martin, our home
missionary secretary, everyone
was influenced to realize and to do
his duty in the home field. At the
close of the Sabbath meeting the
young people of the church sang as
they usually do. ,. .- !. .
The public is most cordially in
vited to attend any and all of the
Beacon Light services and are es-
pecially reminded Of the Mothers
Day program to be given Sunday,
May 9, beginning at 8:15 p. m.

speak into the transmitter mounted
on a curving iron gooseneck rising
out of the desk top. On the left side
of the desk hung a receiver and on
the right was little crank. In the
space which in an ordinary desk
would hold papers, pens and ink,
there was a glass enclosed cabinet
inside which could be seen the in
ner workings Of the instrument. On
the shelf over this were two nickel
bells. When Governor McLane first
used the instrument, he heard the
operators voice coming to him from
Baltimore, as there was no central
Office in Annapolis at the time.
Now, with the remodeling of the
Executive Mansion, this famous old
telephone has given way to more
modern instruments, and no longer
will it help with the activities of
Maryland executives. It's bells are
silenced. Quietly it takes its place
among other objects of history. 1t
has we'll earned it's rest after fifty
years in the Executive Mansion.
