The New Model

/ HAVE tried out the new instru-
ment and compared it with others
in the higher priced class. For me at
least, | found it fully efficient, both
at long and short range. Which
is saying nothing against the more
expensive apparatus.
OF course, this important inven-
ton is not a cure, but only an
alleviator for symptom. When that
symptom begins to manifest itself,
it is too late for curative measures
But in many if not most cases, we
can prevent it if we catch the patient
early enough; for almost invariably
the process of deafness begins in
childhood. Not through lack Of sym
pathy, but because imperfect hear
ing, unlike most other physical
handicaps, has few visible signs, we
have Stacked on the job of prevention.
This is the job ahead of boards
of health and education, social
workers, medical journalists -
and especially parents. So far We
are only making dabs at it.
Moral from one who has been
through the mill: if you are parent
have your children's heads examined
internally by a specialist or an ex-
pert practitioner. and act on his
advice.
And if your better self tells you
that your hearing has begun to go
dim, do not let vanity or inertia
restrain you any longer. Remember
that you are dealer than you think.
One always is! You are snatching at
fragments of conversation and halt
the time missing the point. You are
developing a reputation for eccen-
tricity because your answers are so
misunderstanding and irrelevant.
Your voice is going fiat. You are
either drawing into your shell or
developing into monologue artist
because it is easier to talk than to
try to hear. Get yourself fitted with
a hearing aid! During that trying
first month when you are readjusting
yourself to new life. you will prob
ably curse me. But if you have the
intestinal fortitude to see it through,
YOU will in the end bless me.
The End

Rekef Il Here

lHE hearing aid is not quite
panacea; it will not work with every
one. Many partiallydeaf persons
will gain nothing by it. Nevertheless
for the great majority. relief is here.
In spite of which, the hard-of-
hearing have responded very slowly
to this important invention. 1t is
new and humanity is conservative.
Too, the man or woman who is
going deaf tends to deny to himself
and to the world that there is any
thing the matter.
There was another obstacle - the
price, which wasn't low. My hearing
aid cost $16O.
1t took years of expensive expert
menting to carry these American
devices, by far the best in the world,
toward perfection. The actual de-
mand was at first so small that the

In my conceit, l believed that l
made up for my handicap by natural
ouiclmess on the uptake. Not until
had a rude Jolt - loss of income
owing to my deafness - did | put
down flock Of silly vanities and buy
one of those carbon" hearing aids
which are now outdated but were
then sensationally new.
Yet the carbon apparatus was
only half-relief For a conversation
round a table, it worked quite well.
But still sat in the front row at the
theater, and missed lot at that.
Then at a dinner l met Herbert
Hoover, Jr., son of the ex-President.
Shortly after he was graduated from
Stanford University, devastating
attack of influenza left him almost
totally deaf Now he was wearing a
button in his ear and was taking his
part in lively argument.

"A brand-new trick - and Won

And it works?"
''Sure. / sit in the back row at

Next day, bought one of the new

wearing it still. For most purposes.
it has given me as good hearing as
that of the average man or woman
of my age. 1t is some trouble, OF

production methods which mean
cheap goods for the millions. How
ever, when we entered the war and
the government stopped the manu-
facture Of private radio receiving
sets, certain radio companies put
some of their idle technicians to work
on the problem of a sound, fully
efficient hearing apparatus which
could be bought with weeks salary
by man in very modest circum-
stances. The first of these is now on
the market.

To The Voters

untrue. One of the foundations OF

The right to cast your vote for

In Germany there is no freedom
of the ballot. In Japan the sub

polls and cast their vote for the
candidate of their choice. But in
America we can! The coming >lec-
tons are perhaps the most impor-

will guide us through the final

the Young Democratic Clubs Of
North Carolina have continued to
be a big factor in sustaining the
enthusiasm within the Democratic
party throughout the state. Prac-
tically every county has an ac-
tive organization. The senior party
has delegated great responsibilities
to its. younger members and these
have been accepted without reser-
walton. We have attempted to dem
onstrate our worth and, although
many of our members are away
in the service of our country, we
eagerly want to render every serv-
ice possible to further the princi-
pies of democracy.
AS their president am trans
hitting this message of the Young
Democrats of North Carolina to the
Democratic party:
ITO you men and women who
are fighting on the beachheads of
the South Pacific and the battle
fields of France we who must re-
main at home have a tremendous
responsibility. 1t is our profound
obligation to see that the cause for
which you fight is not in vain.
We are merely holding this country
in trust for you. The future belongs
to you. You shall expect to return
to government which will have
jobs for you and will start you on
the road to economic security-not
give you a place in the breadline.
America has fought hard but vic
torous fight on the home front as
well as on the battlefront. We have
performed task unexcelled in his

leadership of our Commander-in-
Chief, Franklin D. Roosevelt"

"This is the first war in which
the women of America have had
the privilege of voting. In your
minds the main thought is to end
this war as quickly as possible
with the least loss Of life so that
your son, husband or brother can
return home to live out his life in
peace and happiness. There must
not be World War III for your
