This and That

Reading while listening to radio or
monograph records is q mistake.
One OF the little regarded benefits of
both occupations is eye rest, or at least
should be.
Today the average human eye Is
confronted with hundred times as
many seeing situations as hundred
years ago.
The demands OF television and movies
on the eyes are enormous.
Fine work is not confined to needle
workers any more.
Even small children now engage In
close work with the eyes, as life becomes
increasingly more complex for them
and their elders.
The need for eye rest at times is
commonly overlooked.
That the muscles Of the eyes need
rest, as well as proper use, is too often
disregarded. with the results Of eye
strain and eyeglasses we see all around
us.
If more persons would think of rest
ing their eyes, now and then, there
would be less eyestrain and occupa-
tional hazard, and resulting happier
people because nobody can be happy
with eye troubles.
The chance to rest the eyes should
be seized. It may not come again for
q time.
So jittery have many gotten them
selves, In our nervous age, that they do
not understand what o little rest can
do for them.

Good Friday

Even from strictly secular point Of
view, the annual commemoration Of the
death of the Founder of Christianity is a
calendar occasion of profound significance.
Millions Of people hold the anniversary
sacred. It's historical connotations are woven
into the basic fabric of nearly 1000 years
Of human history The Crucihxion has been
theme for literature. music, painting,
sculpture, architecture and other major arts.
It's influence thus has been felt throughout
civilization.
And the effect has been helpful.
Thousands of people, faced by the chal-
lenges Of successive wars and revolutions.
have turned to the example Of Jesus as a
source Of strength equal to their need. The
selflessness, the fidelity and the courage
which the gospels report are inspirational
in their impact upon living generations of
followers. SO the sacrifice Of 10 centuries
ago again and again is justified and the
mission Of Christ is fulfilled. Even non
believers are glad to acknowledge the be-
neflcence Of this truth.

what he wanted to hear, or thought he
did.
The photograph, in particular, en-
abled every musical soul to enjoy his
own music as he chooses.
It was great thing and is to be
appreciated.
Home music Of this sort will be bet
ter If one refrains from reading while
it is going on.
1t was one of the unSpoken benefits
of the old 78-revolutions- per minute
records that the listener had to take q
more active part in their playing. He
had to leap UP every 3 to Az minutes.
This personal participation, though
slight, has never been appreciated, we
believe, as it should be.
If one reads while the music is going
around he loses q chance for eye rest.
Closed eyes, too, help one appreciate
music. No light should shine into the
eyes while listening to music in any
FORM Drinking or eating do not help
musical appreciation in any way
Neither does smoking.
Above all, refrain from reading. The
temptation is great, but like so many
temptations, 1t should be resisted. Not
only is the famous moral fibre built UP
in this way. but above all the eyes get
q real chance to rest themselves. II
eyes are rested in this simple way, they
have o much better chance Of standing
up under the average hard usage they
receive In our time.

Perhaps this is easier understood
about the eyes than the body as
whole.
We are confronted with situations
during an average day about which we
can, as individuals, do nothing. The
rush and roar of traffic, for instance,
may worry us, even do us harm, but
what can be done about 1t?
Traffic Is eternal. with concentrations
of roaring at the going down town time
and at the coming home period.
At home, one may Cat times) suit
ones self. Not always, but sometimes.
One of these is listening to musical
Instrumentation, dominated In many
homes by electrical devices.
No doubt every human would be bet
ter of making his own music.
In this way he would better appreci-
ate, not only the music he plays, but
also the composers and the life Of mu-
sicians.
Today many are far from the natural,
both in life and art.
The domination of mechanical music,
as 1t used to be called, is almost COM
plete in some homes, perhaps most.
The electrical music makers came
and conquered.
They save us from standing in
queues, from going home hungry, from
catching cold from the person who
sat next one.
Above all, they gave the music lover
o supreme chance to enjoy exactly

Further testimony on this need has since
been submitted to Congress in Commerce
Department estimate that government at
all levels should plan on total highway ex-
penditures of 1927 billion during the next
80 years. The department report made no
recommendations on financing.
There appears, in short, no substantial
difference of opinion about the necessity for
a greatly expanded highway building pro-
gram. A major Federal contribution in
dollars and in leadership likewise seems a
necessity. Congress now has the opportu-
nifty to draft legislation which would bypass
the objections and meet the basic needs.
