Going Blind

During these last years. while
we laughed and Stormed and
chuckled under the magic of her
voice and impudeni vitality May
Robson was going blind
Daily the world she so loved
grew DINNER, Smothered under
a thickening shadow But the
shadow that masked her eyes
could not touch her gallant
spirit
Even so. she did not yield.
There were voices she could
follow them. feel her way by IN
StInCi
And there were 80 many other
heart-filling interests beside the
stage Her countless friends.
Her pity for the poor. The tum-
bling chorus of the birds that
filled her yard,
The sweet comfort OF the sun
across her face as she paused for
an inircquont rest which she 80
greatly needed. only three years
ago she made seven pictures ln
u months. Took radio by storm.

Stout-hearted little "AuSSia

7S years of existence failed to

Americas Card Authority

While the expert player is eau tious on the defense in opening new suits. this tendency must not be pushed to extremes. Exiting Is in order if the high-card situation in the defenders hand and dummy is such that opening new suits may cost a trick. and if there is no ap- parent need for haste in develop ing defensive tricks. But if the high-card situation is such as to present no danger at all. 1t is often best to make an exploratory lead in Q new suit.

Apples Are Your Current
 Victory Specials"
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

Beginning today, fresh apples are on the Victory Food Special list. In price they will be reasonable in re- lation to the price of other foods, because they are particularly abun- dant now.
 The more important commer- cial varieties of apples at their best in the fall months are the Mcintosh and Wealthy in New York and the New England states.
 In the other states east of the Mississippi, the Grimes Golden and Jonathan are fine for out-of-hand eating, salads, and cooking. West of the Mississippi, the main commer. cial variety is the Jonathan, for fresh eating, salad, and cooking.
 A favorite use for fresh apples is in turnoverS, hot and crispy.
 Use your favorite biscuit recipe or 8 prepared biscuit mix. Roll out the dough and cut in large rounds. On one half of the round, pile thinly sliced apples and. sprin- kle with mixture of sugar, cinna- mon and a little salt. Dot with butter or margarine. Fold over the other half of biscuit round, moisten edges and pinch together with tines of fork, and prick the dough to to allow steam to escape. Bake in moderately hot oven (40O deg. F0 for about 20 minutes. Serve as is, or with cream or hard sauce.

I the feet.
 In many cases an oval pad three inches long, two inches wide, one- fourth nich thick at the center, bev- elled to the edges, placed on the insole lengthwise, so that it fits what should be the hollow or crease of the transverse arch, will bring much relief. This pad, by taking ex- cess pressure of from the callus helps to remove the painful callus Painting the callus once a day with the standard corn collodion softens it and enables one to wipe it away after a week or more. Corn collod- ion is a solution of thirty grains of salicylic acid in one-half ounce of flexible collodion-to be kept tightly stoppered, painted on corn, wart or callus once daily with bit of cotton | on toothpick or with camelS hair brush. Keep the collodion of from 1 neck of vial and the cork or stop per will remain tight.
 In some cases of Mortons toe or metatarsalgia the condition is so painful and disabling that surgical resection of the head of the meta tarsal pressing on the nerve is re- quired. This operation generally gives satisfactory results.

being talked out of the notion of joining the Army and kept available for War Bond rallies and civilian morale through the movie and radio mediums"
 Now here's the way MT. and Mrs. Average Guy feel about that They don't think it is necessary for any, body to talk any movie star out of getting into uniform just to bolster their morale.
 They even go so far as to confess that it would do their morale lot more good to see top flight movie star give up his clowning, picture love- making, or crooning for the du- ration and get into privates uni form, the way Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable and other stars have done.
 They say that if everybody who is interested in their morale will just forget about them and pitch in to fight the war either in the service or on the home front-the morale of MT. and Mrs. Average Guy will bear up without any bolstering.
 As for War Bonds, they are will ling for Uncle Sam to sell them those-even if he goes so far as to make buying them compulsory.

 The young dancing dress is still bouffant, here, for Sophie uses nora- prioritied net, decked and at times stiffened with taffeta or velvet flounces. Candidate for enchant- ment honors: black lace dress with matching long mittens, worn with short white ermine jacket with puffed elbow sleeves.
 Exact and brilliant as beetles jackets are some of Miss Car negie's cocktail suits. One is made of irridescent 6atin-a short, clipped peplum suit with paillettes accentu- ating every red, blue, purple and green gleam of the fabric.
 SHORT FROCKS SHOWN
 FOR FORMAL WEAR
 The short formal frock gains in portent by this designers inter- pretation of full evening dress for 1942" a mere slip of a dress with dropped shoulders. One of these is black crepe with small turquoise bead flowers widely spaced all over, restrained dress. Other extreme: brown satin tube, sleeveless, cut of at the knees, with armholes and hem edged by a fringe of hollow beads which positively rattle when the wearer walks.
 Daytime clothes by these three designers keep in character just as meticulously. They are purposeful, warm, usually easy-fitting frocks, skirts and jackets, and suits.
 Good examples: Miss Carnegie's heavy handknits, particularly black skirt and sand beige boxy jacket with small Persian lamb collar; Miss Benenson's black velour suits with vertical bands of fur set in live chiffon for distinction which the least knowing eye somehow senses block away, though a mag nifying glass is needed to see how it's contrived; and Sophie's large wearable, winsome group of daytims dresses made of heavy wool for un-

MORTON's TOE

A spot of exquisite tenderness ur- der the second, third or fourth met atarsal bone just beside the ball of the foot, with sudden attacks of severe pain running into the third or fourth toe, pain so severe that the victim is compelled to stop and remove the shoe to get some relief, is known as Morton's toe, or meta tarsalgia
 Some orthopedists have attempted to distinguish metatarsalgia from Morton's toe, maintaining that the former is a painful condition asso- ciated with weakness and flattening of the transverse arch, the arch crosswise of the forefoot, and the latter is a neuritis caused by pres sure by the head of the fourth met atarsal. But this is cutting it bit too fine for the average case, at least too fine for plodding deer-to- door practitioners of the caliber of OF Doc Brady.
 In foot with normal transverse arch there is a hollow or crease lengthwise in the sole from the base of the second toe about half way down the length of the sole. When the transverse arch is weakened or f1attened or broken this hollow or crease is replaced by rounded bulge and usually a large callus, es- pecially a callus on the outer side, under the heads of the metatarsal bones of the small toes.
 Cause of Morton's toe, metatar- Salgia, painful callus on ball of foot, is tight, narrow outflaring shoes. Outf1aring here means shoes built with soles turned outward from the straight line, after the old fashion of turning the toes out. One make of shoe that has been widely sold for many years has always adhered to the normal or natural form of
 the foot in this respect, although the shoes may seem ugly" to the uninformed customer at first glance albeit that have always given great comfort to people fortunate enough to wear them, and wearing them has always been blessing to

And that's typical of the import ant new, equivocal mode of war time nightlife clothes.
 Press previews of the fall 1922 collection, designed by Fira- Ben- enson, Sophie, and Hattie Car negie give a big downstage place to the evening costume. It may be and often is the beautiful half concealing gown of romantic tra- dition = those slackS of Hattie Carnegile's are the only and only pair of pants exhibited this sea- son. Or it nay be a daring, or length or mid-calf hemline. Every time, it is strictly -workaday and indubitably Eyes.
 A short tailored suit of black thread is Miss Benenson's lovely, ladylike five o'clock and -on" cos tune. She points out that this is not evening dress, though, and she has many long dinner suits and formal gowns.
 They're triumph of dressmak- ing by designer whose command of dressmaking sublety is noted. For instance, a quiet brown satin dinner suit with shadow embroid- cry delicately directing attention to the shoulders and square decol- letage and a cloud-pink satin suit with ribbons of the embroidery on the skirt.

Fitzgerald Funeral
 Saturday Morning
Former Mary Casey First Connecticut Woman Elected
 SeIectman; Served as Such IS Years

Naugatuck, July 16 Many Naugatuck residents learned today with keen regret of the death of Mrs. Mary J. Casey Fitzgerald of 105 Oak street, selectman here for IS years, and the first woman in Connecticut to be elected a select man. Mrs. Fitzgerald died yesterday afternoon at St. Mary's hospital, Waterbury.
 Mrs. Fitzgerald had ended her career as selectman in 1941.
 She was a prominent Democrat.
 She was member of the Altar Society of St. Francis church, of which organization she was treas urer, and was also a member of Kennedy Circle, Daughters of Isa- bella, the Auxiliary of the Naug- atuck division, Ancient Order of Hibernians, and also the St. Cece- Has T.

 Meeting Tonight
 Whether there will be the desired reaction to MT. Kiernan's memor- andum or whether there will be other repercussions may be shown at meeting of defense workers to- night at 7:30 in Center School. Austin Ford, defense council chair man, today told The Democrat that there has been a noticeable slacken- ing of interest among defense coun- cil workers here. He attributed this in considerable part to inability of the local council to secure equip ment. We haven't even got whis- tle," he said. He indicated he has tried in vain to get a priority on Indian pumps from the government so that the town might buy some. He recently put in an order with a Holyoke firm for IS pumps on which priority is not required, he said.
 "LaisSeZ- F'aire Attitude"
 MT. Kiernan's memorandum as- serts there has been noticeable slackening of interest in attitude of the workers during the past two months of civilian defense activities and although admitting some of this may be due to the fact that this is normally a vacation period" a far greate1 part must, feel, be attri- buted to the fact that you have slurnped back into the laissez-faire attitude from which you were awak- er ed by Pearl Harbor.
