TIMELY WARNING
(New Haven Journal-Cou

(New Haven Journal Courier)
 Warnings issued here and there by police officials against Hal loween vandalism are timely. Some premature celebrations already have been reported and the result ing property damage may become serious if continued.
 Fun is fun, particularly at Hal loween, but malicious mischief is something else. Particularly is this true at a time when material to repair property is criti 'lv scarce.
 Parents have 8 responsibility to impress upon youngsters the dif- ference between legitimate merry making and the destruction of property. By so doin gthey will serve the community. The less the police have to do to curb irrespon- sible Halloweeners, the more they will be able to concentrate upon their main duty of making the city eafA for criminals.

The Doctor
 Says
By VIM. A. OBRIEN, M. D.

The commnoest form of hearing loss in adults is nerve deafness, in which degeneration of the hearing nerve results in its failure to trans init sound impulses.
 Nerve deafness develops earlier in some persons than in others, prob- ably because of an inherited sus- |ceptibility. In nerve deafness, loss of hearing tends to be progressive and usually is associated with ringing in the ears and loss of tones in the high registers Lessened ability to hear through the bone as well as through | the air is expected. ...-
 OPERATIONS ARE FUTILE Patients with nerve deafness should be told the truth. It is futile for them to undergo opera tions on the nose, removal of ton sils, or imitation of the eustachian tubes.
 The majority of adults with nerve deafness apparently consider their trouble to be due to "catarrh" of the eustachian tube. They take ad- vertised remedies and go from one healer to another in the hope that their catarrhal" deafness can be cured.
 Unfortunately, there is no medi- cine or operation which will cure nerve deafness. The degree of hear l ing loss is directly proportional to the amount of nerve tissue which is destroyed, and degenerated nerve tissue cannot regenerate.
 The Army and Navy have estab- lished special centers for the re- mobilization of those who developed nerve deafness in military service An outstanding program of help has been developed in these centers. Patients with nerve deafness need assistance from every source. The ear specialist gives them the benefit of his advice with respect to their condition and its outcome They are taught to read lips and to itry to wear a good hearing-aid. Their speech can be improved SC that they have no difficulty in mak- ing themselves understood. Their morale is usually poor, however, and they often suffer from great de- presSion.
 HEARING DEVICES HELP Wearing good hearing-aio should be considered in the same class as wearing eyeglasses, ac- cording to Dr. A. c. Furstenberg o1 Ann Arbor, Michigan, with this diff ference: Hearing aids do not carry to the ear the same sounds that we naturally hear. Patients have to learn to listen to new sounds but once they have learned to dc SO they have the feeling of accom- plishment which comes from mas. tering a new language.
 Hearing-aids should be worn dur. ing the working hours and not taker of at will.
 The hearing-aid should be fitted to the ear which suffers the leas Impairment of hearing (not the bac ear). In most instances, the ali lconduction instruments is more eff. cient than are those used for bont Iconduction.
 Hearings-aids do not wear out thu nerve if they are wron constantly They simply help the patient tt hear, without affecting his ears on' lone way or the other.

SOME GROCERY PRICES WILL MOVE UP

ITO MAKE UP FOR HIGHER PARITY, and subsi- 1 dies dropped lowered since June 30, can expect the price of canned goods to go up one to two cents a can shortly. The Alaska OPA Price Division is at work reviewing specific prices in effect canned goods-to take into consideration these changes and any commodity price increases which may be granted for the 1946 pack.
 In the dry grocery field some price increases are now moving up to the retail level. One rise will be in meal, due to the rise in prices when grains declared price exempt by the new OPA bill.
 Another result of the decontrol of grains is the price behavior of flour When flour went up, bread prices were forced up along with it. Breadtype rolls and cookies also took price hike within the last few weeks the decontrol of most of their ingredients increased productioncosts.

SEVEN WONDERS OF THE MODERN WORLD

Although men have listened and argued about the Seven Wonders of the World for more than 2l centuries, the Seven wonders of the Inventive World have been relatively unnoticed and neglected.
 Now the Seven inventions have been brought into the spotlight by the Encyclopaedia Britannica, which states that probably "the most important of all human in- ventions" was the invention-dis- covery that plants can be grown from seeds. Recognition of this fact resulted in the first primitive agriculture, producing a regular harvest instead of a risky catch as-catch-can food supply.
 Second in practical importance, says the Britannica, was the dis covery of how to control fire, and third place goes to the invention

THE PUBLIC GOOD

VIRTUALLY EVERYONE AGREES that govern ment and private business should aim, always, at enterprises 'in the public good But compara- lively few individuals dfferentiate between their own benefits and benefits to others. To most of us the public good" is good. Programs which interfere in any way with comforts designs likely to consider against public interest, when, in fact, their adoption would benefit peo pie than they would hurt.
 The public good means the majority good. Leg isation which benefits the of citizens with out working any real hardship others is, by that standard, beneficial legislation. Yet in Washington America has set up amazingly extensive and pow erful group of lobbyists The duty of each of these individuals is to bring all the pressure bear on Con- gresS in favor of certain types of legislation and in op position to other types Lobbyists represent not the public good, but small limited interests Yet, for all our boasts about majority rule these pressure groups exert powerful influence legislators Too often they have their way nerposing their own meas ureS where measures of more general benefit should have been.
 Were it possible for each segment of society to problems would be solved But at this moment in our civilization such ideastic state seems far ahead Ii indeed we can ever reach 1t. By struggling and clamoring for selfish interests manage to ar rive at certain ends of which are satisfactory some of which are, in reality, lin the public good" But each such victory is presaged by endless quarrel ing and bickering is followed by the walls and howls of small mnorities whose grief at their own little loss es hide from them the beauty of the majoritys gain Cincinnati Enquirer)

of pottery dishes. Pottery made it possible to cook and store food more successfully, giving prehis- toric man an incentive to set up permanent housekeeping near his cached food suply, according to the Britannica.
 From ancient Babylonia or h. do-Persia came two additional in ventions of great human import ance: writing, which is fourth in Britannica's list, and the invalu- able standards of measurement, weight, time and money-the bas- es on which modern life is or ganized, rated as fifth most inn portant.
 In spite of the fact that the nineteenth and twentieth centur- ies are considered to be the great inventive ages, only two of the seven greatest inventions were

 General Clark protests against the Russian pol icy of grabbing practically all of Austrias oil and re- fusng to give the other occupying powers their share He protests against the Russian attempt seize long list of Austrian properties the ground that they German" and reports that the allied control council has approved Austria's decision to natonaze these properties over Russian objection. He charges Rus sia with obstructing Austrian recovery by refusing to permit formation of central government
 This recital comes at moment when Austria is the subject of sharp discussion at Geneva where the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Admnistra- tion is in session. Fiorelia LaGuarda, director-gen- eral of the UNRRA, has announced he will enforce Resolution 9l which forbids the shipment of indgen- ous products out of country receiving aid. The
 Russian delegate refused to discuss this matter on ground that it lies outside the scope of UNRRA.

NO JOKE

CHICAGO, Sept. II -(P)-Shir- ley Hudson, 23, told Superior Judge Edwin A. Robson that her marri- age to J. Clinton Hudson, 26. of Wheatland, Wyo., lasted eight days and was just "one practical joke after another"
 After their marriage on July 13, 1946, she told Judge Robson he tied her ankles to a bed sheet and hoisted her up toward the chandelier. When she objected, she said, Hudson told her she had no sense of humor and left her.
 Judge Robson granted her a di- vorce.

CHINESE SITUATION SERIOUS

MARKING, Sept. II -(P)-The Communists today rejected Chi ang Kai-Shek's latest truce pro- posal as unsatisfactory, dooming any immediate hopes of a politi- cal settlement of China's mounting civil strife.
 General Marshall, U. s. Spe- cial Envoy, communicated the Gen eralissimo's undisclosed terms for a nationwide armistice in a two and half hour conference with Gen. Chou En-Lai, No. 2 Chinese Communist. Then Communist spokesman Wang Ping-Nan re- ported:
 "We continue to demand uncon- ditional cease-fire. We will not accept any other conditions. The situation remains serious"

made in modern times. "Tl greatest of all inventions in hi toric times" says the Britannia is food canning, which reduce mans dependence on annual ar local harvest Another model invention, last of the seven and II only one on the Britannica rostt which is not completely anon! nous, is the Louis PaSteur ger theory.

 For instance. speech probably began in animal sounds and fin. ally resulted from a long serie! of small inventions-a word hers a bit of grammar there.

Man very likely got the idea of building shelters from watching orang-utans or oth- CT animals making nests in trees Free says.

 funds, will object to shipping in goods Austria could otherwise provide for her people, It is time that Soviet policy makers realized that this game is not worth the candle. Anchorage Tmes)
