NO TEARS FOR REV. NEMoELLER

On February 18th there will undoubtedly be considerable number of people who will udge Bushnell Memorial to hear the Martin Niemoeer Some will of curiosity but goody will who inclined to shed tears about anything touching.
 To refresh your memory, Rev. Nemoeller is German who thrown concentration because he differed with Mr. Hitler particulars and not completely.
 For instance might be we'll sight of the instances where Rev. Niemoeer complete conformity with Hter that will aay that would certainly have been shed the 17th.
 He it his opposition Hitler
 the grounds of his objections his political theories.
 9 He tried his best into the German Navy 1889.
 He stated that he had always hoped that National Social
 ism in Germany would succeed
 He expressed complete happiness that Von Papen and
 Schacht acquitted at the Nuremberg trial.
 Just why the American public should be emotonay wrought about this country of Rev Niemoeler though by the Federal Council of Churches is than this newspaper understand.
 Here who by his admissions believed in of the things that Hitler inspired and that had lose thousands of American boys in order to destroy.
 We certainly not encouraging indicative attitude about the Germans anybody And the Germans the the Government certainly putting special "heat'' on them
 But the other hand there earthly why should be shedding endless tears about those Germans Japan who violently opposed their respective cutting throat a few years ago.

HEALTH FOR ALL
Prevention of Deafness

than most parents realize. Many a child has been considered dull, even Predetermined, who was merely hard of hearing. Pa rents owe 1t to their children to do everything within their pow CT to prevent this tragic handi- cap.
 Usually the causes of deaf ness can be avoided by simple, common sense. The most ire quent causes are such diseases as meningitis, humps, scarlet fever, measles, influenza and diphteria; certain drugs, loud noises, severe blows and infec- tions of the middle ear. Deaf ness from hereditary conditions cannot be prevented, but 1t may be hindered from getting worse.
 Inflammation of the middle ear often follows contagious disease. It is important in all acute and chronic diseases of children to be sure the ear drums have not been harmed. A baby cannot tell you that he has an earache. The mother should watch for unusual rest essness and pulling at the ear. The doctor never overlooks the baby's ears in any examination.
 Prevention of deafness in- wolves prevention of contagious diseases and colds, prompt re- cognition and removal of di- seased tonsils and adenoids and proper care of the ears.
 Dirty ears will not necessari- ly cause ear, trouble, but i'm proper methods of cleaning may do so. Children should be taught never to dig into the ear with anything smaller than the elbow. It is not unusual for them to stick marbles or beans into their ears. Any eff fort to dislodge the article by unskilled hands may be dis astrous.. The doctor should do it.. If an unusual amount of wax accumulates in the ear ca nal, the doctor is again the man for the job. The same is true of a boil in the ear.
 Any nasal congestion may contribute to ear trouble. Hay fever or other nasal allergy is a frequent source of trouble. It is important for child to learn how to blow the nose properly. Teach him to sit up straight, hold a clean hankie or tissue loosely below the nose and blow gently, one side at a time, holding the other nostril shut. Children should be taught not to go in swimming when they have colds and to be careful when they have a pune tured eardrum. A child who has had an ear infection should never dive or hold the head under water. Plugging the ears will not prevent infection, be- cause 1t is the water entering the nose under pressure which does the damage.

all poured out then, in rush of words
ROW ne had been coming home from scboo,
u'at AFTERNOON and had met Mrs. Bellamv and
alother lady on the street. How he had heard
MIS- bellamy talking to the lady after he had
passed them. How Mrs. Bellamv had s,;d
mats Bob Bakers little brother There's
eleven years difference in their ages. I don't
think he was expected"
Ills mother was silent so long when he had
hnlshed. that the fear rose into his throat in
hard dry lump.
Didn't you and Daddy want God to send
me to you?" he cried,
Inc funny look vanished from his mothers
1ace She bent and pressed her cheek against
MS. her arms went around him and held him
tight ''''''
oh. darling" she whispered DARLING
what do you think?"
He began to cry quietly.
What do you think, David?" Her tone was
nsistent. Think back and think carefully
David, was there ever any reason for vour
doubting?"
He lay still, staring at the ceiling over his
mothers head. He let his mind go back into the
past, as she had said, and curously a long
parade of pleasant memories began to take
form before his eyes,
Was there David?"
His gaze searched the ceiling carefully then

dropped to his mothers shoulder NO" He
spoke in whisper and all at once he knew it
was So There wasn't any reason for his having
doubted
His mother drew back and looked at him.
Her face so close to his that he could see the
stars shining in her eyes. After Bob was born,
Daddy and begged God to bring us another
little boy, David, but He didn't right away
suppose He was bringing babies to other fathers
and mothers. Then when we d almost given up
hope, He brought us you. 1t was the most Won
derful, the happiest moment in our lives David
darling"
A warm glow spread through David's body.
His mothers words had served to confirm his
own decision. And in knowing, in having dis
covered the truth for himself, he felt strange
new strength grow in him. 1t was more like
resolve that the next time, no matter what it
was, he would have better faith one that all the
mean, old Mrs. Bellamys in the world couldn't
shake
Ills mother smiled and, holding him tight in
her arms again, kissed him. When she let him
go, he sat up and slid his legs over the side of
the bed
His toes rubbed the soft carpet. He didn't
hate Mrs. Bellamy any longer He didn't
hate anything or anybody He looked up at his
mother and grinned.
I'm hungry" he said. The End
