I ribute From Foes
President Scored Personal Success
In State of the Union Message

"A softer spoken pirate never |
scuttled sinking ship" Senator
Taft muttered to Senator Tobey
as the President laid down his
manuscript. It was q tribute to
the quietly self confident Presi-
dent of a sort that Harry Truman
has not always wrung from his
former colleagues.
The message was the work of
many hands; it's chief architect
as usual was Clark Clifford for
whom it constitutes a happy vale
dictory. The departing Presiden-
tial counsel this time fitted the
words to the client 50 that the
clients most attractive character
istics shone through.
Usual Order Reversed.
Reversing the usual order, for
eign policy was put first. It is
understood that this was done
purposely as a means of refuting
charges that the President this
session will back away from his
foreign program and stress do
mestic issues because 1t is an
election year.
What effect the Presidents te-
nacity and confidence will have
on the Democrats in Congress
remains to be seen. Many of
them have returned here from
an inspection Of their political
fences at home with word that
they were never in better shape.
To the White House and ma
tional headquarters. these bullish
reports seem almost too good to
be true. Yet one after another
returning Senator or Congress
man declares his people are at
work, that they like what is being
done for them and have no in
tention of giving it up. South
erners declare that If it were not
for civil rights, the President
would be in no trouble in their
sector.
They just like Harry, they
don't think he's q great man and
they don't love him like they did
Roosevelt" one summed It up.
But they like him and they like
mrs. Truman and Margaret. too"

Annual REA Report Contains Lesson
For Opponents of Health Insurance

The farmers need for power
and light was known. There was
much talk about it. To forestall
Government action the private
utilities undertook to meet the
need and organized on an ambi-
tious scale for that purpose. Farm
organizations, women's organiza-
tions. manufacturers. Government
departments all joined up in the
Committee on the Relation OF
Electricity to Agriculture. The
committees philosophy was stated
by Chairman Tripp of the West
inghouse Company:
mo government body. State or
Federal. can do 1t effectively. The
driving force of all government
effort Is political expediency, and
political expendiency is a poor
tool when applied to economic
problems"
CREA, as 1t was commonly
called, labored nightly for II
years, but. having brought the
number of farms with electricity
up to only II out of every 100, it
began rapidly to fall apart. It
was then, in 1885, that President
Roosevelt created REA by execu-
tive order and the following:
Almost overnight, rural elec-
trification has become sub
ject Of national interest. Note
that this clamor has not been
initiated by the farmer himself.
Only in the imagination of these,
his champions, does there exist
any widespread demand for elec-
tricity on the farm or any general
willingness, or ability, to pay for
it."
How wrong that speaker was
concerning the demand. Today
there remain only a little more
than a million farms to be elec-
trified. All over the country
farmers have organized them
selves into co-operatives, obtained
loans from REA-which is REA's
principal function-and set up
their rural systems. The record
OF loan repayments has been more
than satisfactory. REA is an ac-
cepted success. So much 50 that,
after years of futile effort to
obtain adequate rural telephone
service from the private COM
panies. the farmers last year won
authorization from Congress for
participation by REA in this field.

Your Health
Care OF the Eyes

NATURE HAS TAKEN great
pains to protect your eyes. They are
set IN bone sockets. The eyelids and
other soft parts serve as cushions.
A sensitive cornea covers the visible
parts. Tears are provided to wash
away some irritations.
But, in spite of these defenses.
your eyes can be damaged il YOU
neglect or abuse them, the u. S.
Public Health service points out.
Have Eyes Examined Regularly
Some eye diseases seldom cause
pain or reduce vision until they are
well advanced. That is WHY it is
important to include an eve exam
nation with your regular, annual
physical examination.
II you have the typical svrnp-
toms OF eyestrain - headaches, ir-
ritability, firing easily, doing less or
poorer work than usual, or having
accidents because of misiudement
OF your eyes-you should have your
eyes tested Immediately.
Choosing a Specialist
In selecting an eye specialist. it is
necessary that you understand the
difference in these occupations:
An oculist or ophthalmologist is a
physician-an M. D.-who special
Ives in dpfoc<c owl <z;roxra~ e Al
eye and in eye surgery.
An optometrist, a nonmedicaI
practitioner, measures eye errors
without drugs and attempts to cor
rect them with glasses, prisrns,. and
exercise only.
An optician grinds lenses, fits them
into frames, and adjusts the frames
to the wearer.
No one should try to correct sus-
pected eye defects with glasses al
ready made up and displayed ON
store counters. Wrong lenses can
seriously harm your eyes.
Eyes usually need an adjustment
period to adapt to the changes which
new glasses make in the size, clarity.
or position of objects.
Care for Your Eyes
Cleanliness is q first essential i'm
good care of normal eyes. If you get
dust or dirt in your eyes and can
not remove it with clean water and
am eye cup, see your doctor. Ulcers
ON the cornea, which can destroy
sight, are sometimes caused by dust.
Good reading habits enable one to
use eyes to best advantage, help pre-
vent eye strain and varying degrees
of nervous exhaustion. Use a read
ing light, 80 to 100 watts, preferably
placed about three feet back of you
and to one side of the printed page.
Hold reading matter 16 to 18 inches
away, below the level of your eyes.
Avoid shadows as well as glare. Do
not read while riding in trains, cars,
or other moving vehicles as this puts
an extra strain on your eyes. Chill
dren should be taught good reading
habits early. They should be dis
couraged from reading while lying
ON the floor, as this brings the print
too close to their eyes.
