Turning Over An

There were fires of grief and fear that

There were sparks of recognition that

Up to the present time. the gen.

designated radius. But now the
number has increased during this
new war period.

This is shown in the experience Of
Industrial plants where intensive
educational campaigns are carried
out, and proper warnings dis
played on the walls Of the plants.
This experience is the justifica-
ton for the discussion Of hazards
of all kinds and how 10 avoid them
in the home and on the streets,
for the benefit of the average
civilian population. This column
certainly subscribes TO the adage
about the ounce of prevention be-
ing worth a pound Of cure.
Many injuries TO the eye occur
in the home and should be warned
against so that every one be on
the alert to prevent them.
Avoiding Perforation Injuries
Perforating injuries to the eye
ball are potential lifelong trag-
edies. And they are caused almost
one hundred per cent by careless
ness.
Small children should never be
allowed to play with sharp-pointed
objects-knives, ice picks, can
openers, forks, etc.
Perforating injuries are often
caused by a tiny piece of metal
flying from a surface which is be-
ing hammered.
In most cases these objects
cause only superficial injuries, de-
nuding the epithelium Of the eye
and these are the easiest to treat
successfully. The eye doctor will
drop a local anaesthetic in the eye
which stops the sensation Of
scratching and stops the instinc-
tive rubbing of the eye that this
sensation gives rise to. To avoid
secondary infection a per cent
sulfathiazole ointment is usually
employed, as an anointment to the
surface of the eye.
Chemical Burns of Eye
Chemical burns of the eye are
very common household accidents.
They are caused by ammonia, I've
and refrigerants, which are usual
ly ammonia compounds or sulphur
dioxide. They cause dehydration
of the superficial tissues and
rapidly spreading necrosis. Lye
burns are usually very serious, be-
cause the involved part of the eye
ball becomes Opaque. Lye should
always be handled carefully with
due regard to proper protection Of
the eyes.
Emergency treatment for these
chemical burns before the doctor
gets there is to irrigate the eye
bail with warm salt water until
all traces of the chemical are re-
moved. If there is not an eye
dropper handy the salt solution can
be squeezed on the eyeball from
a wash cloth or towel.
Commissions, due to causes vary
ing all the way from running into
the door left ajar to running into
the belligerent fist, range in
severity from slight damage 1.-THE
good old black eye) to rupture of
the eyeball. Hemorrhage may be
controlled by applying cold COM
presses for As hours, followed by
heat.
But, once again, in eye injuries
especially, the ounce of prevsn-
ton is worth the pound of cure.
Wear glasses to protect your eyes
when around caustic chemicals,
from cleaning powders to re-
frigerators. Turn on the light
when you get up in the middle of
the night so you will see the open
door. Stay out Of arguments and
avoid the closed fist.

Won Rundsiedf Rallies
Forces for Attack
In SiayeIot Area
BY KENNETH /. DIXON.


WITH AMERICAN ARMIES ON
THE WESTERN FRONT, Dec. 23.-
Although doughboys still are holding
a solid line on the northern flank
of his offensive, Marshal Karl Won
Rundstedt today was rallying his
Panzer and infantry power for
another attempt to stab out of the
Stavelot sector.
The concentration of German
troops along the Stavelot- -Malmedy
line came after armor- pointed en-
emy attacks were repulsed east Of
Malmedy in the Faymonville- Bull
langen areas, as well as in the Mon
schau region.
Stymied temporarily, the upper
flank of the German thrust still is
forging slowly ahead father south,
according to censored, delayed re-
ports.
Aims at Supply Dumps.
However, concentrations in the
Stavelot sector indicated Won Rund-
stedt still was hoping chiefly to
hammer his way through the north
ern flank to reach American supply
dumps-which now are becoming as
vital to his outstretched armored
fingers as they are to the defending
Yanks.
These reports, although still de-
loyed, show less time lag than pre-
vious official acknowledgements.
Meanwhile, from within the area
presumably under enemy control
filtered fantastic stories of isolated
American tank and infantry units
fighting a courageous harassing bat
tie behind the enemy's lines.
A high-ranking German para
troop commander surrendered in
disgust when his supertrained force
failed to overrun ordinary" Yank
infantry In a vicious attack late
yesterday.
These Americans are too bloody
obstinate" he muttered when he
and 80 members of his slaughtered
outfit were marched of to a pris-
oner-of war cage.
Adding to his anger was the con-
fusion of German communications
He had heard the German radio
report the town was in their hands
but arrived to find it was untrue
The ensuing futile attempt to make
the report come true also convinced
him that "the whole operation wa.
badly planned as far as the para
troopers were concerned"
