BALL: Major League Baseball is
again the headline news of the

not the game is essential to wartime
morale. The head man Commits

sit IN silence hoping that John O.

great American pastime. But so far.
the only response has been the daily
press and those solicited by it. So
we have decided to add our bit.
Baseball does play big part in
keeping the boys in the service oc-
cupied. During their spare time it
offers topic for discussion Just as
all other major events, sports or
otherwise. That baseball is Amer
ica's Number l pastime, is evident
by its large attendance and the
great amount of radio time devoted
to it.
On the other hand, baseball may
prove to be clog in the wheel of
war progress. First there is trans
portation and then absenticism.
Baseball traffic may bottle up
transportation facilities during
hours when the various night shifts
are headed for defense plants. Sec
ond and most important ifs the
question of absenticism. What eff
feet will big Major League game
between rival teams have upon de-
Tense worker fans? Will they 60 to
work or to the ball park?

Says.

The indication is that between 5
and 7 per cent of our school chill
dren suffer from hearing defects.
Since deafness is apt to increase
with age, the chances are that, as
they grow to maturity some of these
children will become completely
deaf, others will depend on hearing
devices. Much of this impairment
may be forestalled by proper man
agement and treatment, but it is
important to discover the defect
early.
Observant parents and teachers
have the greatest opportunity for
uncovering faulty hearing. Mothers
can be watchful for any sign of ear
trouble in the pre-school child. In
cider children the teacher has learn
ed to suspect impaired hearing in
those who, for no apparent reason,
show signs of inattention or make
frequent mistakes in carrying out
instructions, whose articulation is

OF powerful food czar with control
over the entire food program, the
President said the real question be-
fore the congress and the people is
are you for initiation or not?
Suppose. he said, that the Angel
Gabriel was made food czar. How
the President continued, could he
get the food to the people at
present cost?
There are people on Capitol Hill,
MI. Roosevelt said, who advocate
taking the brakes off prices so that
higher prices will sop up surplus
purchasing power.
Congress, he said has a perfect
right to adopt such an inflationary,
out-of-hand system, but if congress
wants to do it, 100 per cent Of the
responsibility will be on the congress.
The President again painted a
picture of suffering for persons on
relatively small, relatively fixed in
comes should food prices be al
lowed to rise. Higher prices, he
said. benefit the rich who can pay
them and work to the extreme
hardship of the poor who can not.

mitted his resignation because he
felt his powers were inadequate, Mr.
