PAGEANT PRESENTED

For thosewho gathered at the
Baptist church in Keystone Sun
day night the centuries turned
backward; and they saw a page
ant of the Resurrection. They
stood beside the gate of .Jerusa-
lem, with the sepulcher of
Jesus Christ at their right. and
watched those of old time pass
back and forth between the city
gates and the tomb. They saw
Peter, John and Thomas and the
other disciples, they beheld the
faithful women go sorrowfully
to the tomb to anoint the beloved
body, they saw Joseph of Ari-
mathea, and Nicodemus ami the
centurion of Calvary. They tarri
ed a while with the Jerusalem
children; and at last saw the pro
cession come back from the glori
Gus scene Of the Ascension to
face the task of conquering the
world. So.
The pageant was presented to
a packed audience with every
seat in the church filled To meet
the demand, and so that those
who did not have chance to see
the drama, the cast of charac-
tiers have been asked to present
the pageant in the Northfork
high schools new auditorium
Sunday night, March 81, at 1880.
The pageant has cast of 60
people and the unusual coStums
of the first century add a grea
deal to the performance. Mrs.
R. l. Hatcher and Rev. S. c.
Blackburn, pastor of the church
have been in charge Of the direct
ing of the pageant. There is no
admission charge.

The big G.. III. Yost store just

This establishment has grown
so rapidly under the competant
management of Mr.. DeskinS it
has found iustifiable two rather
extensive alterations within the

resulted in the merchandise

The newly decorated lobby with
its deep pile carpet and beautiful

CsnSus Takers Due Soon
All Should Assist Them Fully

Sometime during April each
one of us will be approached by
one or more census enumerators
who will proceed to ask quite
few questions ordinarily we
would refuse to answer as being
to personal. However in this case
the questions must be answered
absolutely correct for q number
of reasons, and there should not
, be any fear that personal or pro-
fessional secets thus revealed
will ever be exposed to the pub
: lie gaze because Uncle Sam has
said that they would not. The
Importance of answering accura-
tely and honestly every one Of
| the questions cannot be over
estimated III the case cf colored
people, for from the results of
this census many things that the
government wants to know will
be found, and if the information
is inaccurate or incomplete the
conclusions cannot be correctly
! drawn and since the Official
government policies will be bas-
ed on facts drawn from digest
of this census it is vitally impOi
ant they be true and actual.
Evasive and untruthful re-
plies are not smart, in fact they
are silly and may do much harm
in the end. If a large number Of
people give urtruthful answers
about their personal finances

may act on a wrong basis later

COOPERATIVE ENDEAVOR
TO PREVENT BLINDNESS

| (By Eleanor Brown Merrill
Executive Director, National Soc
for the Prevention of Blindness)
Blindness is an enemy that
strikes rich and poor regardless
of race or creed.
The organized movement for
the prevention of blindness and
the conservation of vision is
particularly well characterized
by the slogan adopted for the
1910 observance of National Ne
gro Health Week. cooperative
Endeavor for the Attainment of
Community Health. Among the
men and women whose daily
work is either directly or in
directly concerned with the safe
guarding of eyesight are doctors
nurses, safety engineers, social
workers teachers, and others
There are approximately $50
600 blind persons in the United
States. Some lost their sight
thru disease, and others thru
accidents. The tragedy in the
lives of these individuals and
their families is heightened by
the fact that blindness is prevent
able in the majority of cases.
The principle causes of loss of
vision are just as preventable as
smallpox, yellow fever, diptheria
typhoid fever and many other
diseases which have been. con-
quered. 49, ..a.s.sa@
The old saying that can ounce
of prevention is worth pound
of cure" rarely applies more
significantly than in the protec-
ton of eyesight. A good example
of this proverb is to be found in
the fact that hundreds of babies
are either blind at birth or be-
come blind later from prenatal
syphilis. 1t is an established
fact that prospective mothers
who have syphilis can bear
healthy children if prenatal
anti-syphilitic treatment is adj
minstered in time. A careful ex-
animation including a blood test
usually can determine the pres
ence of syphilitic germs. If all
cases of syphilis among expect
ant mothers are discovered aid
followed up with early treat
ment, we may look forward to q
marked decrease in blindness
and defective vision.
More than $4,000 blirdmen, We
men, and children in the u. S.,
approximately ore-sixth of the
entire blind population lost
their sight as the result Of sy-
philis or gonorrhea. Apart from
humanitarian considerations,
reducing the number of blind
and other dependent persons
whose handicaps are IT, result
of venereal disease is of tremen-
dous economic benefit to the
country. The national Society for
the Prevention of Blindness has
observed with much encourage
ment the progress made during
the past two years as the result
of the law providing Federal aid
70 the states in the control OF
venereal diseases. The continu-
ance of this health program
now so successfully under way
should prove to be a sound finan-
cial Investment.
| Although a great deal oil
blindness has beer reduced thru
medical knowledge and surgica
| skill and through the elimina
ton or reduction of disease, eyt
injuries from industrial acct
derts remain a serious cause o
blindness. Unfortunately, tn
Hazards of Industry have no

IHe IdCC CnaC uOctOTS anu Huu
wives aer now required by Law
in nearly. every state of tht
Union to use a prophylactic solu
ton in the eyes of infants at
birth.
Recent studies have indicated
that a larger amount of blind
ness is hereditary than has been
generally realized. The relation
ship of diet to eye health as al
so become much better known
through reserch on vitamins.
Absence of vitamin A from the
diet for instance, may result in
might blindness" which is mani
tested by a difficulty of seeing
under faint illumination, as in
the twilight.
Many eyes are lost as a result
of accidents among children who
are permitted to play with dan
gerous toys. Air rifles given as
Christmas gifts bring sadness
to many homes when boys re-
ceive eye injurie themselves or
accidently cause the loss of one
or both eyes of a friend. Play
ing with fireworks during Four
tn of July celebrations results in
serious injuries to the thousands
of children who do it every sum-
mer. and some of them become.
blind.
Although few parents would
think of giving a small child a
hammer and a watch to play with
at the same time, many parents
expose their children's eyes to.
hazards to which they would
not think of exposing the fine
mechanism of a watch. Young
sters are permitted to play with
sharp pointed scissors, with,
matche or with other materials
which may cause injury or in
flammation of the eyes. In one
case that came to our attention,
a table fork used by child to
untangle badly knotted shoe laces
slipped and cut an eye.
For children with seriously
defective vision, many communi-
ties throughout the country now
maintain Sight saving classes ,"
in their school systems. In these
classes boys and girls receive a
full and normal education while
sight is conserved as much as is
possible, and they are guided to-
ward the selection Of occupations
that will not increase their eye
difficulties. Before they entered
such classes, man yof the chill
, dren were regarded as sullen.
mentally subnormal morose and
even criminal. When they be-
came adjusted to their new sur
roundingS. ir which their eye
needs were taken into cOnsidera-
ton, the children showed nor
NAL intelligence and pleasing
dispositios.
The books used in sight-sav-
ing classes are usually in very
large type. Much of the work is
done on the blackboard to re-
lieve eyestrain. Adjustable seats
and desks are used. ard particul
arcare is exercised in regard to
the lighting arrangements in
the classroom. Every child is
taught the touch system Of tho
typewriter as soon as possible SC
that the eyestrain Of much hand
writing is avoided.
The worst tragedy of blind
ness is that loss of eyesight may
be absolutel prevented in the
vast majority Of cases. Ignor
ance is usually the underlying
, reason for loss of sight, whethef
it be the result of disease or &C

War Relief Becomes
Practically a New
American Industry
1,500, 900 Persons,
295 Organizations Busy
Sending Aid Abroad
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Some
1900, 600 persons and 295 organiza-
tions in the United States, said the
Herald Tribune today, are engaged
in work to extend relief to the
worlds war-harassed peoples.
This has become virtually new
American industry, said the paper:
Canvassing, sewing, knitting, max
ing bandages, sorting medicines, ex-
tracing blood plasma, packing, etc.
Among other things, the news
paper said survey showed:
All but few hundred workers are
volunteers; millions of dollars of
clothing, food, first-aid equipment
and other materials have been sent
abroad, the bulk going to British
civilians.
Some so organizations are raising
funds solely for Britain; six for
German relief. The American Red
Cross and the American Friends
Service Committee are endeavoring
to lessen suffering in Belgium, Hol-
land, France and other countries.
However, no relief materials as such
are going to Germany or Italy.
In line with its policy to send re-
lief to any country requesting it, the
Red Cross offered relief to Germany
at the outset of the war. Germany
rejected it, and since then the Red
Cross has assured donors that Ger
many is receiving no benefits, direct
irHirnrf 1f
shipments.
In various parts of the country,
there are, however, about six small
organizations collecting cash for
German war relief work.
A New York organization, the
American Committee for the Ger
man Relief Fund, Inc, operates with
only an Office staff. A spokesman
said its collections to date amounted
to about $4,000. used to aid German
war prisoners in Canada and the
West Indies.
The Salvation Army has sent SIS
tons Of clothing, blankets and SINH
lar materials to England. Bundles
for Britain, Inc, has sent 81 900, 900
worth of goods. The British War
Relief Society, Inc, and the Allied
Relief Fund, now embodied in it,
have collected $3,9O0,00O since De-
cember, 1899.
The American Red Cross has COL
lected more than S21 100000 for its
special war relief fund; has pre-
pared and sent to England 2,255
liters of blood plasma for trans
fusions for war wounded and has
prepared and shipped tons of gar
ments and first-aid equipment.
