By BETHA DECREE

There is group of young mat rons in Kodiak that belong to what we think is rather unusual club the "Millikins" Most women's clubs have elected and appointed officers and long meetings in which little seems to be accomplished
 The "Millikins" are refreshingly different in that they have no of ficers, no ritual, but do seem to have lot of fun at their lunch cons. AS a guest of Mrs. Ruth Ere chan at the "Millikins" meeting this week, we enjoyed the proceed ings and the thought came to us that more clubs should follow their example Despite the lack of formality things were accomp- lished. Members for their new show, scheduled for December, were chosen and responsibilities cheerfully accepted. We feel cer- tain that their new show will be as entertaining as those the group

 Vision Conservation Institute
 The more a mother knows about her baby's eyes and vision, the more fascinating it will be to watch baby grow and develop.
 Baby specialists over the years have pointed out many times that vision can actually be the key to fuller understanding of the needs of the individual child.
 A mother looks into her baby's eyes to see whether he is happy, whether he is angry, whether he is puzzled or whether he is willing to cooperate. It is also true that if a child is not feeling we'll, it will first become evident in his eyes.
 It is important to understand that vision is baby's most precious sense Through his eyes he will gather more information about things around him than through any other part of his. body. It is a truism that baby depends more on his vision than on his hearing, taste, smell and touch combined.
 Consequently, how well your baby sees may also determine how he will grow and how he will de- velop as he grows. Science has shown that vision may affect a child's body posture as we'll as his personality.
 For example, when a child does not see properly with both eyes working together as one, he may soon begin titlting his head or he will squirm into an unnatural pos ture as he avoids using one eye while looking at toy or picture book. The danger in such a situa- ton is that he may develop a head tilt, or a shoulder slump or even a curved spine, in addition to having poor vision.
 If a child is too nearsighted, he may have no interest in playing games with other children. If he is too farsighted, he may avoid such close activity as reading and writ ing. If he is cross-eyed he may have difficulty in focusing his eyes prop erly, an eye that has been turned too long may even lose some of it's vision. These are some of the eye problems parents should be alert for as they watch their child grow. They can affect child in many diff ferent ways.
 Proper vision is very important element in your child's growth and development. No eye problem should go neglected. Professional eye care should be sought to help correct these various errors oi nature.
