 DAY COMMEMORATION HERE

At a meeting of Douglas Aerie IF, Fraternal Order of Eagles last night, it was decided to resume the customary observance of Mothers Day, which since the fire of l9a7 that destroyed their hall here has been allowed to lapse.
 The original sponsors of the oc- casion which later became nation al one by action of Congress, the Eagles throughout the country have been foremost in its observance.
 The program to be arranged will probably be held at the school on the evening of Mothers Day, May 12.
 In preparation for the annual election of officers which comes in May, nomination of candidates for the various positions was also a part of last nights business meet ing, for the members present.
 Progress on the new hall con- struction was referred to and bet ter turnout of the members to help was urged

INO SABOTAGE AT SUB PLANT
Launching Almost Upset When Cradle Slid Into
 River With Boat

Groton, Conn, Dec. 24 =. (UPO' Police denied today there was any evidence of attempted sabotage in connection with an accident attend ing the launching of the coast de- fense submarine, Grampus, at the Electric Boat Company yards late yesterday. -s
 The grampus, christened by Mrs. Clark H. woodward, wife of the rear admiral, slid into. the Thames river without casting free from 8 wooden cradle on which it rested while being constructed. The cradle usually is held firm by chains, all lowing the hull to slide into the wa ter unencumbered. These chains snapped as Mrs. Woodward broke a bottle of champagne over the bow and the sub started down tn eways.
 Thre tugs took the submarine into the harbor where they freed the hull of the cradle. The submer- sible then was taken to drydock for a check for damage.
 The Grampus, smaller than the ordinary undersea boats and an ex- pertinent in coast defense, was con- structed at a cost of $3,000,000. Its keel was laid nearly Il months ago.
 The Electric Boat Company, is working on orders for Al other subs of various classes. Three others are under construction and an addition al three ways are being built. The company plans to lay the keels at the rate of one A month

1 ture adult, but is ma everchanging
 and gradually developing person
 whose sensitivity is at its highest
 point. In the long run, ,littlei is gained by compulsory methods since they are temporary. One of the surest ways of being convincing is teach ing by example. This attitude should be carried out by answering frankly and truthfully questions that the preschool child may ask. If parents would answer simply and directly the sex questions asked by their pre- school children, there would be less need for discussion of this emotional topic during the school age.
 Child development and health habits are discussed with individ- ua1 parents and thorough examin- ations of pre-school children are given at Well Child Conferences conducted by 240 physicians in gen. eral practice. Parents who bring their children to these. conferences are required to go to their own family physician when treatment for the child is indicated.
 According to Doctor Clifford there is still much ill health which can be prevented despite gains made in promoting the health of pre-school children through better care and improved health of mothers and in- fants and by immunization against certain diseases. Problems vest un- solved include poor posture; poor nutrition; uncorrected visual de- fleets; children who are somewhat deaf and others who through chronic infection are prevented from their fullest development. Rheumatic fever and metabolic dis orders are causes of poor health and should be thoroughly studied and treated during the pre-school age. These and other problems relating to the health of a child should be discussed by parents with physicians in their offices or at Well Child Conferences.

simultaneously with the custer of Vice Premier Pierre Laval.
 Deat was released after being held two hours and his arrest was said to have been one of the reasons why Ken. De La Laurencie was replaced as the Vichy governments represen- tative in Paris by Fernand De Brin- on, friend of Laval, after Adolf Hit ler's emissary, Otto Abetz, visited Vichy.
 Immediately before Laval was busted by Petain, Deat had made a bitter attack over the German-con- trolled Paris radio against all mem- bers of the Vichy government with the exception of Laval. Deat's new attack on the Petain regime is the first he has made since the Laval crisis.
 Deat's attack was centered on Pe- aims intention to create a national :onSultive assembly. In an article in LOeuvre, Deat criticized Petain for his failure to set up last July a national revolutionary party or as- sembly which included all elements of the former political parties who wished to join a crusade against French parliamentary clements. He criticized, also, the joint func- tionS of Petain which combine the powers of both the premier and president of the old Republican re- gime.

Eye Exams For Child
 Health Measure Urged
COOrdinated Effort on Part of Parents Advocated; Re-
 peated Tests Prove Advantageous

| A definite contribution can bt made to the health welfare O. future school children and adults by coordinated effort on the part oi parents, health workers and physi- clans in promoting regular healt1 supervision of preschool children according to Martha L. Clifford, M D., director of the Bureau of Child Hygiene in an article published by the State Department of Health This should be encouraged so that at no time will some habit or physical defect became a handicap; not for the sake of health alone but because it is important that the child develop fully so that he may be of service and enjoy living to his utmost capacity.
 The advantages of beginning early and repeating regularly the medical examination are we'll established, Doctor Clifford points out. It accus- toms the child to physical exam nation at a time prior to illness, and before he builds up a resistance to strange Or unusual experiences. The knowledge and guidance of the physician is helpful to parents in planning preventive treatments which will protect the child against certain disease and in formulating 8 daily program of hygiene which will build up general resistance and physical development.
 Warning of hazards and emphas- izing the possibilities of illness and poor development unless this advice is put into practice may appear to be harsh method of teaching, Doc tor Clifford states. Parents under stand, however, that a physician knows that child is not & minia-

 The working class section and the poorer parts of the town were hit heavily. Scores of bombs fell in these areas and wiped out many houses, knocking down the flimSy structures as if they had been built of playing cards.
