Hard of Hearing?

that come to the bureau during the
year are those from parents who
discover that their child cannot hear.
His deafness presents q whole set
Of problems that they do not know
how to solve. Calling won't fetch =
deaf child-you have to run after
him. A small deaf child may sit on
the floor and kick and scream and
have tantrum- perfectly under
standable to him, infuriated with
the inability Of seemingly stupid
adults to understand what he Is
trying to tell them. Children born
deaf have harder time learning to
live than children born blind.
One of the services Of the Volta
Bureau is to give suggestions on
helping deaf child understand his
parents. For example, il the child
has even q little hearing, you might
hold him in your lap, put your
mouth close to his ear and teach
him the names OF animals pictured
in book and the names printed
beneath. You can teach child to
lip read by repeating phrases built
around one word, such rs See the
COW" Here is q brown cow" teach
ing the child to recognize the word
cow" when 1t comes to your lips.
Babies with normal hearing hear
words hundreds Of times before they
understand them.
The deaf child's greatest need,
really, is not Speech-it is language,
learning to associate words with
things in the world around him. One
Of the biggest steps q deaf baby takes
Is when he learns that things have
names. And one of the most difficult
feats for q person to accomplish is
to learn language when he Is
totally deaf, and to learn to use it
well. A person familiar with the
deaf can often spot "deafisms" tn
their speech and letters-twists Of
phrasing they have developed in
learning = language, just IS . for
eigner develops language quirks.
Deafness can be diagnosed much
earlier now In claildren. Help can
not come too soon for q child who
is deaf or partially deaf. The par
TALLY deaf sometimes retain such
hearing as they have II they are
properly trained. When their Ca
pacity for hearing goes undsveloped,
such capacity rs they had diminishes.
The Volta Bureau, located ut 1887
Thirty y-hfth street NV, was founded
in 1857 by Alexander Graham Bell.
Mr.. Bells accomplishments with the
telephone have obscured the fact
that he was an expert in the field
Of speech. His father, Alexander
Melville Bell, WAS the best known
speech man Of his day. When he
WAS An old man, some one asked the
famous inventor what his occupa-
tion was. II am = teacher Of the
deaf" he replied.

pearances the American league pen
nant in bag. But Cleveland had
the extra man playing and Cleveland
would not be denied.
When the football and baseball
teams play Negroes in their line
ups they always have the advan.
tage that is equivalent to an extra
man. Something wonderful is hap.
pening in this country when Joe
Louis, an unsophisticated Negro
boy from Alabama, can rise to fame
and fortune as the champion of the
world. Something even more won.
derful is happening when Jackie
Robinson and Larry Dolby are in
worlds series lineup, taking their
turn at bat. And to climax it all
Negro Larry Dolby drives in his
teams winning run with home
run. Cleveland had it's 10th man in
the lineup so Cleveland made things
hot for the Boston Braves.
The foregoing is only 4 preface
to this additional word about little
Harry Truman who refused to give
damn for what the Dixiecrats said
and thought about his civil rights
stand. Truman is the only candi-
date who is being abused and dis.
paraged because of his political
stand on civil rights. There are
those who say that he was after

when it has become sin for man
in public office to disregard votes?
All of the other candidates are after
votes, so why not Truman?

THAT EXTRA PLAYER

Mine eyes havt seen strange
things today. When we see Negroes
playing ball in the big leagues we
are witnessing some strange mani
festation of the glory of God. What
we see with our natural eyes is
even as nothing as compared with,
what we can see if we look wish
our spiritual eyes.
Last year Brooklyn with make
shift team won the National league
penant and fought the Yankees to
a stand-stil for the worlds champ
ionship. Brooklyn had no more bus
mess in worlds series than have
the major explanations of Brook
lyn's greatness lay in the fact that
every time Brooklyn took the field
there was a 10th man on the field.
The other trans in the National
league played only nine men in each
game; but Brooklyn played 10.
This year it was Cleveland play
ing the 10th man and Cleveland
which by all calculations should
have trailed the Boston Red Sox
came under the ropes first. Why?
Because Cleveland was playing 10
men in every game.
Whenever Cleveland and Brook
Ign take the field they are always
playing 10 men against their OPP
ponents nine. Like the Hebrew
children cast into the fiery furnace,
Nebuchadnezzer had three cast in
but when his henchmen and execu-
TONERS looked into the flaming fur
mace he saw not three but four men.
The fourth man in the fiery furnace
is the 10th man on the Brooklyn
and Cleveland baseball teams.
1t is even so with football. When
teams like Michigan and Penn State
trample strong teams under their
feet, they are playing IL men against
IL. Whenever these athletic teams
play Negroes they always have an
extra man on their team and that
extra man is Right. There is
strength that nobody exnows but
him who is in the right. 1t is no
wonder that Sir Gallahad had the
strength of 10 because his heart
was right. The strongest man is not
the one with the firmest and strong
est muscles or the fullest pocket
book; but the one who believes that
his cause is just.
That is why armies fight better
on the defensive. The man who de-
tends his homeland is stronger than
the man who invades another's
homeland. When Branch Hickey
opened the big leagues to Negroes
ii did something to Brooklyn's team
that had not been done before. 1t
made a machine out of a make-out
team. II made miracle.men out OF
run-of-the-mine baseball players.
This year this same inspiration came
10 the Cleveland Indians with Larry
Dolby, the young Negro sensation,
in its line up. Boston Red Sox had

A million and quarter residents
of Ohio, or approximately one out
of every seven, will fish this year
to provide food for the table or
just for the fun of it.
This figure was revealed last
week by Harry F. West, chief of
the Accounting and Budget Sec
tion of the Ohio Division of Con-
seryation, stating that an estimat-
ed one million persons will have
purchased fishing licenses by the
end of the 194S fishing season. An
other quarter million fishermen
under Is years of age who are not
required to purchase a license and
those who are permitted to fish on
their own lands without a license
will bring the 1948 total number OF
fishermen to a million and a quar-,
ter-the highest in the history OF
Ohio.
For the week ending July II

census reports show excellent
fishing at Pleasant Hill, one of the

DEMOCRATIC SOLON HITS MOVE
TO RUIN TWO-pARTY SYSTEM

Lakeside, Although he voiced
opposition to President Truman's
civil rights program, Congress-
man Brooks Hays (D.) of Little
Rock, Ark, told members of the
Lakeside Woman's Club Tuesday
afternoon that he definitely was
opposed to all splinter parties,
such as those formed this year by
Wallace and Thurman.
Such parties put us in a bad
light in the eyes of the rest of
the world and endanger our pres
ent two-party system which over
the years has proved successful,
he said.
Zone of the tragedies of the
194s is the acceptance by sincere
Christians of the idealism of the
progressive party, which in my
opinion is without substance"
Congressman Hays declared.
Peace is not something the pro-
gressive party has a monopoly on,
but the hope of all parties, and to
achieve it requires the moral sup
port of the entire nation, and the
world" he said.
Congressman Hays was intro
duced by Congressman Homer A.
Ramey (R.) of Toledo who spoke
briefly on What Makes Congress
Tick" explaining the workings of
the many pressure groups.
Pressure groups as such are
not inherently evil, but rather are
just a natural and expedient means
of putting into practice the theory
of government of, by, and for
the people. They become evil when
they lose their perspective and be.
gin to claim that their special in.
forests are synonymous with the
interests of the general welfare
he stated.
