THE AMERIcAN-WAY

Here's hoping that you will bear
with me while I let on q little
steam. This pent-up feelinf is q
result Of the way ! have noticed
certain writer's submitting articles
to the Public Column that have
twisted the meaning Of the phrase
THE AMERICAN WAY" to fit
their own ends. Please don't think
that / oifer my opinion as the gos-
pei version but | do think certain
basic concepts have been overlook
ed in all the rantings and selfish
opinions so far expressed.
Firstly let's consider the signing
OF ads that was SO thoroughly
stressed by Mr.. Welte who at
tempted 70 say that the mere fact
OF not signing an advertisement
was indicative OF subversive ele.
ments. Well, It seems to me that
good and necessary gifts are often
given by anonymous donors. Yen
does that les EN- the value OF the
gift to those receiving II? In the
majority OF cases we must agree
that II does not. Further do we
give to get public acclaim or from
humanitarian impulses? That is n
small irrevlant point though so
let's get on.
With humanitarian principles
mentioned In the picture We ma
turally think OF real democracy
and the freedom II affords the peo-
pie with its sanctioning OF their
rights and privileges. Those that
| fought and died for this country
in its wars believed In something
that made them meet death brave
ly. That something Is not the
same to any two people II they had
to express II In SO many words,
but II represented exchange value
for life itself. In the American
Revolution the issue taxation with
out representation was not fair.
That is what We are faced with In
Ypsilant today on the question OF
the charter revision.
Considering the Constitution 'of
America we are aware OF the demo-
cratic conception of It's practicality.
Each state and district Is repre-
sented by senators or representa-
uves that are cognizant OF Its Pc
culiarities. Were this not true we
would surely find that heavily popu-
lated areas such as New York. ILL
nois and Michigan would be con-
trolling the Congress because OF
their voting power. Isn't the same
thing true Of Ypsilani with Its
wards and various peoples? The
heavily populated wards and con-
centrate1 districts would elect their
own candidates and subsequently
control city affairs. This Is only

BY Allergie disorders, we mean
Q group Of conditions which arise
because persons react TO some food
which they eat, to some drugs
which they may take, or to pollen
or dusts which are breathed In or
come in contact with the tissues
or to any one Of a number of things
that they may be susceptible TO.
These allergic disorders may at
feet various parts Of the body.
For example, asthma affects the
lungs; hay fever, the nose. The
eyes and lips also are affected BY
allergic conditions. Drugs, pollen,
toxic poisons formed by germs,
dusts or foods all may be respon-
sible for the allergic conditions Of
the eye, according to DR.. Erling
W. Hansen Of Minnesota
Lining Membrane
The lining membrane over the
eyeball, the lids and the cornea
or front part of the eyeball may
be affected by the kind Of pollen
which produces hay fever, such as
rag-weed pollen. An Inflammation
along the edge Of the eyelid known
as blepharitis marginalis, accord
ing to this physician, is frequently
caused by eating eggs, chocolate,
milk or peanuts.
In the spring and summer Of
the year q condition known as
vernal conjunctivitis, which Is an
Inflammation Of the lining Of the
eyeball and eyelids, may develop
in persons between five and fif-
teen years Of age. The condition
clears up In the fall and winter.
The disease Is probably caused by
pollen from trees and early
grasses.
Little swellinga
In vernal eonjunctivitis, little
sweliings occur under the eyelids.
There is itching pain on exposure
of the eyes to light, and the kind
of white blood cells known as
leosinophils are found in the mu-
cous secretions from the eyes.
After the disorder continues for
several seasons, the swellings on
the underside Of the lids often be-
come permanent and cause an ir-
ritation Of the cornea. The disor-
der may be 90 severe that it ID
necessary for the physician 10 re-
move the lining mer,brane from
the inside Of the eyelids.
When eye Inflammation occurs,
II is necessary that a careful study
be made to determine II ths dis
order Is caused by some allergic
condition. In these allergic disor-
ders, the treatment is far different
from that required in eye infee-
tions, in that the substance caus-
ing the allergy should be found

Rutland Urges |nocuIatior
Of Dogs Against Rabies

A recommendation that Wash

rabies again this summer was made
yesterday by Health Officer George

In pointing out that the anti
rabies incubation program carried
out last August and September
showed remarkable results, DR..
Rutland expressed hope that the
program this year will be launched
before July.
In the majority of cases, he said,
the vaccine remains effective as
long as II months.
DR.. j. G. Cumming, head of the
Department of Contagious Diseases.
pointed out that, since the use of
antirabies serum in dogs, there has
been a great decrease in rabies
cases, with only six persons infected
since the vaccination program last

VA 10 Check on 'ChiseIers
On Unemployment PAY

The Veterans Administration has
started a rapid checkup system to
be sure that veterans drawing
checks for food and rent while they
are in school do not draw unem-
ployment pay, VA spokesman said
today.
All VA regional Offices have been
instructed to send the names of new
applicants for subsistence allow
ances-the pay given student vet
erans-to the State Unemployment
Compensation Board on daily
basis.
1t was explained that any veteran
drawing both checks could be de-
tected quickly by this method.
A Washington regional office
spokesman said that only IL cases
of this kind had come to the atten-
ton of local officials and these had
occurred more than three months
ago. The men were penalized by
forfeiting their checks to make ur
the difference.
Although "chiselers" make ur
only small fraction of veterans
getting unemployment or subsis-
tence pay, national VA spokesman
emphasized, enough cases came te
light to warrant the double check
