St. Nick Really Lived, Lives!

to hope and pray hard
enough for something and
wham! 1t happened.
One Of the men Of Patara,
for example, had three
daughters. In those days, a
girl couldn't get married
unless she had some MONEY
to give her husband to help
him In his career. The man
had no money at all. Some
friends advised him that it
would be best if he sold his
daughters as slaves.
Nicholas heard about it and
he thought it was dreadful.
He began to hope and pray
that something good would
happen and one night at
Christmastime he found
himself with a bag of gold.
He hurried to the home of
the poor man of Patara and
dropped the bag Of gold
down the chimney. In a
few weeks. the oldest girl
was married.
The saint hoped for a sec
ond bag Of gold, and got it.
Then a third bag. In time,
all three girls were happily
married, and no one knew
that Nicholas was the man
who sent the bags of gold.
He didn't think it was a
good idea for anyone to
know, because he didn't want
a lot of thanks for some
thing given to him by God.
He did a lot of good things
for grownups, but children
were the special favorites of
Nicholas and he liked to hold
of until the birthday of the
Infant Saviour before sneak
ing gifts to them. For a while,
he was thrown into prison in
chains because he was a
Christian, but he kept hoping
hard and praying for good
things. and good things al
ways happened.

There are some children
who do not believe In Santa.
This Is a sad thing, because
! believe in Santa and I
know that he is real. The
reason why so few big boys
and girls believe In him is
that they have never seen
him. This is silly because
the same boys and girls have
never seen air either, and
they believe in that.
We see Santa's assistants
all the time. They are In
department stores and on
street corners, and they look
good in their make-believe
whiskers and their padded
stomachs and red suits, but
they are not Santa. The
real Santa is q spirit. He
died 1000 years ago and he
lives on in the sky above US
as a saint. If a saint can
hear our prayers, then Santa
can read our letters and
listen to us when we ask his
assistants for something at
Christmas time.
THE REAL SANTA is known
by several names. In many
countries, he is called Santa
Claus, Kris Kringle, La Be-
fana, Yule Tomten. st. Mich
olas and Christkindli. His
real name was Nicholas and
he was born in Patara, Asia
Minor, around the year 285.
He grew up as a holy man
never dreaming that he
would some day be st. Mich
olas-and he became a priest.
In time he was appointed
Bishop Of Myra. He was, we
can assume, stout and wore
snowy whiskers. He loved
children most of all and. long
before he realized that he
was a saint, Nicholas became
noted for his miracles. He
didn't know how they hap
pened. All he had to do. was

DEAR ABBY: I am a

they are satisfied and will

write about this condition.
Mrs. D.. Illinois.
GLAUCOMA is such a con-
tinuing threat to our pre-
cious gift (sight) that re-
peated warnings are essen
tial to help fight it. What is
glaucom a? Essentially, it
means that there is increased
pressure within the eyeball.
In each eye there is a wa
terry fluid, continually being
formed. called the aqueous
humor." I won't 60 into the
physiology Of it-but when
anything interferes with the
normal drainage or escape
of this fluid. pressure builds
up within the eyeball, and
vital functions of the eye are
destr ,yed.
II! as II you kept filling a
tire With air and not allow
ing 1t to escape at intervals:
Something would have to
give.
This faulty drainage rare
ly occurs before the age of
40 or after 80. It is during
those years. in between these
limits. that we must be on
Sour guard.
In fact, people over 40
have q 2 per cent chance of
having glaucoma. About
100000 persons have 1t,
and three-fourths of these
may be unaware that they
have IL! It is for this reason
that glaucoma is such an in
sidious and dangerous dis
ease.
Let me give you some more
facts that win help complete
the picture I am trying to
draw for you. The condition
Is more common in females.
The part that heredity plays
is uncertain.
It is not necessary for you
to know about the various
types of glaucoma; your doc
tor will soon learn whether
1t is a primary or secondary
type. The important thing to
know is: Do you or don't
you have it?
Early diagnosis is impor-
tant to prevent permanent
damage that may lead to
blindness. Therefore, you
should know something about
cyulptOlllSs
In some cases. things hap
pen so fast that you know
there is trouble with your
eyes. You may get sudden
pain. There may be redness
and inflammation. Vision
may be partially or complete
ly lost. You may see halos
around lights. The pupil in
the affected eye may dilate
(become larger.
The symptoms I have Just
mentioned occur in the acute
form Of glaucoma. Here, at
least, we have been warned
Of danger.
However, it is in the
chronic form of this disease,
that blindness sneaks up on
us.
What to do about it all?
I think everyone over 40
should have routine eye-pres-
sure readings taken at least
every two years. It is a pain
less procedure. The instru-
ment used in a "tonometer."
The doctor or his nurse per-
forms the est in a minute or
two after putting a drop Of
anesthetic in each eye. If this
and other tests are normal,
you can forget about glau-
coma-until the next test.
Suppose you have glauco-
ma? I can't 60 into the treat
ment here, because each case
deserves individual attention.
