With the league slowly drawing
to a close, there is still plenty of
action being produced if the stand

close, and anything could happen
yet.
It seems the Rams were the hottest
team last week, as they had the high

high individual game GID and also
high three-game set (359). Margaret

American Hearing Society. Rural areas need
more mobile hearing clinics, like those of the
Minnesota and Vermont chapters of the
National Society for Crippled Children and
Adults
Until national hearing program is put into
effect, it's up to all parents to have their
childrens ears tested regularly. And if child
has lost part of his hearing, here are rules
of conduct his parents should follow:
l. Don't try to cover up child's handicap.
You only make it more difficult for him.
z. Look at him when you speak and try to
face the light. Don't humble.
;. When he doesn't catch phrase don't
repeat it endlessly. Say it another way.
4. Don't let him bluff Be sure he under
stands what you said
5. Don't break in on his conversation with
someone else. Let him speak for himself
6. Laugh with him when he makes mis-
take, but never at him. The End

when impaired hearing is properly corrected.
What about the other millions of children
who become hard of hearing? Unluckily many
will have no chance for rehabilitation unless
parents, teachers and doctors join with hear
ing experts in national hearing program.
Hearing Centers Needed
Every school should make an audiometer
test of every child's hearing once year. At
present, less than half the states require all
children to be tested. Compulsory-hearing
test legislation is now being pushed by the
American Hearing Aid Association, headed by
DR.. Irving l. Schachtel, together with in
terested lawmakers. Laws requiring tests will
mean nothing, however, without conserva-
tion-of-hearing centers to follow through
There are only around SIS of these. more than
half of them concentrated in five states.
Cities need more hearing centers such as
those operated by universities and by the

with children who can hear everything For
them, communication with their fellows is like
trying to carry on long g-distance telephone
conversation with bad connection It's
little wonder they become maladjusted
The great tragedy is that large part -
some say so to 60 per cent - of these hearing
handicaps could be entirely prevented if dis
covered early enough. Until very recently"

versity professor of ear and throat diseases,

Potential Hearing Loss

a complication of the common cold called
otitis media. This means an Inflammation of

More serious diseases may cause this type of
deafness - bad tonsils and adenoids, sinusitis,
infected teeth. measles, mumps and many
Others. In Bob's case, violent blowing of his
nose, initiating the habit of his father, was an
important contributing factor.
The path to prevention lies in medical
examination of the child's ears after each
illness and prompt medical treatment as
indicated. AS for cures, for Bob at Ia as
for many children - restoration of normal
ear function was out of the question. The
damage was done. This did not mean that he
couldn't be helped His new school was con-
nected with conservation-of-hea clinic
Experts laid out rehabilitation program
for him. He was fitted with hearing aid
and taught how to use it.
He was self-conscious about the tiny re-
ceiver. or earphole. and the wire running
down to the little microphone and battery
case under his shirt. But the people at the
clinic told him what Bernard M. Baruch. who
wears hearing aid, told deaf veterans: Il am
little deaf and little dumb, but you will be
dumb if you don't use hearing aid"
Bob was also taught to read lips, as a
backstop. Most hearing aid users find that
seeing speech is help to hearing it. 1t takes
from four to eight weeks to learn lip reading
When he had finished at the clinic, Bobs
mother and father thought the change in him
miraculous AS they put it, he suddenly
came alive" Teachers everywhere remark
what difference it makes in child's vitality

DOB was pretty dumb. At least, his teacher
Id and schoolmates thought so. He never
seemed to pay attention when the teacher
asked the class question. If she pressed
him for an answer he'd frown and then make
silly mistake.
One day in geography class, for example,
she asked him where the Cape of Good Hope

His parents let him do as he pleased.
Between the ages of five and 10 he had been,
as the doctor said. "a little puny." He was
susceptible to colds and sore threats, and
twice had running ears.
The truth came out when the family moved
to another city and Bob, then Ia and two
grades behind, was sent to new school. For
the first time, his ears were tested with
phonograph audiometer. The children all
put ON head phones and wrote down the
words and numbers they heard as the vol

Your son is hard of hearing" the school
nurse informed Bob's mother. He has
twenty-five or thirty per cent loss in the bet

Obvious Siuus
UNTIL that time no one had suggested that
Bob's whole problem might be deafness. His
parents and teachers had missed the obvious
signs: inattention, mistakes in pronunciation,
wrong replies to questions, daydreaming. dis
obedience, voice peculiarities and avoidance
of other children. Even the family doctor
had missed a trick by not examining the boys

Bob's story is unfortunately TYPICAL how
ever Hearing authorities estimate that
100000 American children between the
ages of five and II have impaired hearing.
Counting those whose hearing loss is not
handicapping but may become so as they
grow up. the estimate jumps to 100000.

youngsters in many respects than for the

But there is one bowl game
which should not be forgotten

give it lot of consideration.
True, it only attracted 5000
fans and received hardly any

tant as any of the other major
bowl games, if not more so.

sport participation by our youth.
We in America have more or
less been content to have our
youth learn their favorite game
without supervision until they
are of high school age.
When they reach that level
we become interested in those
individuals who seem to have
superior ability and they are
given special attention. The
other kids, who may love the
game and participation in it, but
are just average in ability, are
forgotten.
As we have said many times
before, the real purpose of
sports is to build strong bodies
and clean minds while at the
same time teaching individuals
teamwork and an understanding
of ones fellow human beings.

L|B0NATI WOULD HOUND
YPA, NOT elk. SMITH

Elliodor Libonati, chair
man of the American Legion's
Americanism commission for
Illinois gave the tipoff this
week on what to expect if the
little Mundt-Nixon bills"
pass the state legislature.
Top on Libonati's list for
bounding, and eventual banning
from the schools, is Young Pro-
gressives of Illinois, he indi-
Gated. The Legionnaire told The
Standard, however, not to ex-
pect inquiry into Illinois opera
tons of Gerald L. K. Smith or
Elizabeth Dilling, peddlers of
ti-Semitic and anti Negro hate
Libonati is credited by Sen.
Paul Broyles, chairman of the
seditious activities commission,
with having blue-printed the
witchhunt bills. He is the broth
er of Sen. Roland V. Libonati,
associate of Al Capone in the
'3Os.
Brother Roland is a member
of the seditious activities COM
mission, which will sponsor the
bills in the legislature.
A Standard reporter asked
Elliodor Libonati this week
what groups he had particularly
in mind when the bills were
drafted. He replied:
"You take the Young Pro-
gressives of Illinois. They are
nothing but the American Youth
for Democracy with another
name. That's an example,"
The AYD was barred from the
University of Illinois as well as
other campuses in the nation in
the past two years after a series
ST witchhunts. Young Progress
sives grew as an Independent
youth group in support of the
election campaign of Henry
Wallace and the Progressive
Party.
Libonati denied that the COM
mission would conduct a head
line smear campaign.
After ALL" he protested, "you
have got to have proof before
you call someone Communist"
EXAMPLES OF PROOF"
The Americanism specialist
then tipped his hand on his
style of proof" in branding
"subversives," when he was
questioned about his prominent
role in an inquisition last year
against Emile Noack, civics

Libonati declared. 81 just want

dents said she taught Com
eunism and ten students said

Result of his investigation
was a series of headlines and
wide scandal around Miss Noack,
followed by dropping of charges
as unfounded.
LAY OFF HATE PEDDLERS
AS for Gerald L. K. Smith and
Elizabeth Dilling, whose h e
literature is circulated among an
increasing number of Illinois
ians, Libonati predicted that the
commission will play it smart
by not investigating them at all.

Our sport system has been
built on the idea of developing
star performers who will at
tract large crowds, thereby
bringing in the green stuff for
institutions and promoters. We
have forgotten the purpose of
sports.
We would do well to take
after our Canadian neighbors, in
forming organized leagues in all
our sports from the midget class
on up and then seeing to is that
our entire youth is given a
chance to participate.
Who wins the game is unim-
portant but giving all young
sters chance to play in it and
learn the spirit of teamwork and
getting along is important. The
Shrimp Bowl" is a step in the
right direction. Let's keep pro-
crossing.
THOSE who were wondering
whether or not George Halas
would actually sign George
Taliaferro need not wonder any
more. George has been signed
by the Los Angeles Dons of the
All-American Conference.
We suspect Taliaferro didn't
quite trust Mr.. Halas and you
can't blame the guy when you
consider that the owner of the
Bears got around to drafting
TaliaferrO, the best halfback in
the country, as his 18th choice.
Although the Indiana star
signed up in the rival league it
is quite possible that the Dons
and Los Angeles Rams might
combine and become part of the
National League.
If this does happen we sus-
pect Taliaferro is going to
make Brother Halas mighty
sorry he ever let him get away.
