FEARFUL DECISION LOOMS
Blindness or Possible Death
'f Faces 2V2Year Old Child
Seattle, Dec. 3 (U.PJ The distraught parents of blond Dean
bAtflt, IVi, today faced the dreadful decision of blindness or possi
ble aeain lor ineir cancer-sincicen cnua.
Ir. and Mrs. Jack L. Ault have been advised by a top
Seattle eye specialist that unless their boy's remaining eye is
f- removed, the cancer will spreac
to the optic nerve and eventu
ally the brain.
Ault, 32, an unemployed con
struction cost accountant, said:
iilltlm tmiflh Hanlclnn trt malra
I .;i . as long as he has a slim
chance, mat s all we re lighting
for. There is nothing to lose by
trying to save what little sight he
his left."
4 Ault and his wife, Jacqueline,
28, have two other sons, Donald,
afven, and Douglas, six. .
' i Dean, born with weak eyes,
fell off a chair five months ago.
It is believed the fall caused the
T- e condition.
The right eye was removed
fsix weeks ago.
Even if the other eye is re
moved, there is no assurance
r that the cancer will be arrested.
i "There's no sure way of sav
ing his life, anyway," the boy's
mother said. "If anything can be
one, it should be tried. But
hat can we do?"
Ault feels that if he decides
igainst the operation and Dean
s, "111 always think I didn't
everything I possibly could
have done."
!j "But it's hard to order an eye
operation that will bring blind
pess to your son."

The postoff ice department
ruled earlier that the familiar
stamp could not be used this
year, but pleas by Postmistress
Juanita S. Tucker and Sen. Spes
sard L. Holland of Florida have
induced high officials to change
their mind.
For years Miss Tucker has
used the green tree stamp on
letters sent here by thousands of
persons to be mailed with the
"Christmas",postmark.
Reversing its earlier order,
the postoffice department has
ruled that the cachet could be
used again this year if there is
a specific request from each
person sending a letter to be
mailed and if there Is no extra
cost to the government.
Members of the Orange coun
ty and Christmas Chamber of
Commerce are going to pitch in
and help dress up the letters with
the little green tree and the
words, "Glory to God in the
highest, 1949.''

East Salem School Patrons
Inspect Modern Building
East Salem, Dec. 3 Parents and friends of the children who
attended the open house held at the new Washington school
Thursday night entered a veritable "fairy land" as they went
from room to room throughout the building. The indirect lights
gleaming on the glass outside walls, many beautiful flowers, and
the new shades of paint on the-
walls, greens and blues, lighter
on the east side which gets the
morning sun along the entire
side of the building.
The first, second and third
grades are on the east side of
the long hall, the temporary mu
sic room and the fourth, fifth
and sixth on the west. On the
north 'L' the multiple purpose
room, the auditorium, which is
used now as an assembly room
as it has the stage; the tables
at one end during lunch hour
and the completely equipped
kitchen just to the west end
The first room to the right
as one goes in the main entrance
reminds you of the rapid growth
of Salem to the east and north
as the room planned for a mu
sic room with the walls differ
ent from the class rooms win
dows near the ceiling having to
be used for extra large fourth
and fifth grades.
Also on the east side are the
principals' office with its pri
vate conference rooms, a large
safe for valuable records, the
health rooms where all clinics
may be held; and the library,
where a child that did not like
to read would soon want to learn
so he could be in there.
Noticeable features are the ab
sence of any desks, there are no
desks in the building, all the
children sit at small low tables,
two on each side; every room
has its drinking fountains, sinks
for many purpopses and long
side boards for special tasks.
For the opening each teacher's
room featured special projects
being worked out by the chil
dren, most of which were start
ed in their beginning weeks in
the old building. In every room
one sees the results of the stress
that is being placed on art work.
The rooms do not have long
blackboard spaces like older
types of rooms, but sections fit
ted for art displays. Only a few
of the projects can be mentioned:
in one of the second grade rooms
the theme "Each One Depends
upon Another's Work," display
ed in a wheat field, the trucks
taking it to the mill, on to the
wholesale house, the grocery and
back to the farmer. Even tables
of cookies made in the school's
own cafeteria to show the finish
ed product. A parent had made
a roller movie to show the story
oi wncat.
Another worthwhile display
in the fourth grade was the
children s own hobby corner.
used by the teacher in language
classes After the tour of the
building refreshments were ser
ved by the members of the
newly organized mother's club.

When God said "Let there be light," He
created the conditions under which life
could exist on the earth. Without light,
the earth would become a frozen ball,
barren, desolate, and lifeless.
It was a great day for the human race
when man learned to draw the imprisoned
sun-rays from the elements and convert
them into heat and light. It marked the
beginning of human progress.
Step by step he has advanced from the
brush fire to the marvels of electricity.
With more light he has increased his
knowledge, added to his safety, and im
proved his livingstandard.
Religion is the light of the spiritual
world, and is essential to the growth and'
well-being of the soul. The Psalmist said,
"The Lord is my light and my salvation,"
and the teachings of Jesus are the "true
light" for all who will heed them.
Wherever the Bible is accepted as
the guide of life, darkness disappears
and the light of faith shines in the
hearts of men.
