Business and Churches Babson Says Religious Activities Must Maintained Babson Park Fla. -(Spl) ditions have this year on churches Aha financial operation of our business enterprise of themselves. Entirely aside from their aplr- ltual Importance, churches and their allied foundations rank high In the value ot their finan cial and property assets. The outlook for these humanitarian agencies is, therefore, mora Im portant to our business ana social structure than is the out look for the railroads, utilities, or any other Industry. Financial Competition For the first time in many years the churches are up against real competition in their solicitation of funds. Churches have always remained out side of other local commu nity drives for charitable pur poses and, 1 1 believe, right- j fully so. Com-; munlty Chest : drives have es-: peclally been operated In an efficient and! successful manner although I question whether this success will continue indefinitely. ; Church finance committees might well take a lesson from ' their book. Millions of dollars I are raised each year ty com munity Chests which in turn care for a variety of partici pating charitable organizations. Their appeals are widespread. To an extent, they have cut into the funds available for churches. In addition, there are this year many war agencies of a charitable nature that are issu ing calls for help. Perhaps the most important are the Red Cross and the United Service Organization. Such agencies will be generously supported. The purchase of defense bonds and particularly the proposed plan of "allotting" a percentage of one's earned Income for these wartime securities will further side track church offerings. The desire of givers to help the church is as grat as ever, but the demands on income are so much greater. Rising living costs is another competing fac tor. Hence, many wrongly feel they must cut down their con tributions to churches. Location Important Churches which serve In de fense areas comprising a popu lation of skilled workers ought to do better financially this year. Such people are earning higher wages than ever before. These wages will continue and perhaps even Increase while the war lasts. This year for the first time many of these workers will be hit by income taxes. This may affect their contributions. I am inclined to believe, how ever, that with their larger earnings many of these people will feel more generously in clined toward their church. The Spiritual App.al Churches are needed even more this year than last year. From a spiritual point of view, they should gather great strength. People are beginning to feel that religion, or some form of spiritual worship, is the only common denominator left to them. This Is becoming a very tangible part of their lives. In this age when there are so many disquieting events to up set people emotionally, they are again turning to their churches. When going to church my self, when talking with laymen, and from the character of the mall I receive, I sense a groping for real religion that has not been evident for a long time nui irrespective ot this we know that lasting business pros perity can exist enly when based upon the Ten Commandmanti Let us churchmen get out of an Inferiority complex and boidly ieu me worm so. I forecast without hesitation that some day there will be a return to religion among all sects. This may or may not be a return to the "old-time type" but it must appeal more to the hearts and emotions of peo ple as well at to their Intellects. Certainly, churches of all creeds offer more opportunity today for service than ever before. I feci very strongly that more and more people will become interested in their rejp-ctive churches or In some form of religious activity If actively ap proached.

C Utilities Grab Seen Raver Plan Eastern Banker Would Finance Taxpayers Would Finance Expansion . Br John W. K.llT Washington. D. C. Feb. 2 Creation of a holding company which he calls a cooperative, fin anced by New York bankers, to lane over all the utilities in Ore gon, Washington and Idaho is the plan outlined by Paul J. Raver, administrator of Bonne ville and Grand Coulee. The plan would work about as fol lows: The cooperative (Incorporated In either Washington or Oregon) would purchase al) the power from government developments at Grand Coulee and Bonneville. This could readily be done under the present law as Admin istrator Raver's Job is to- sell the power. This would leave the government out of the picture, except for generating the energy for the benefit of the coopera tive. The cooperative, or hold ing company, would have a board of directors and. with money provided by New Vork and Boston bankers, would pur chase the various private power companies in the region. Administrator Raver does not trust the ability of the PUDs to manage themselves. His plan is to lease (not sell) parts of the utilities acquired by the holding company to the PUDs for period of 20 years. By this method Administrator Raver could obtain control over all the PUDs. To reporters in New York the administrator did not mention this cooperative, or holding com pany, but he did say he wants to acquire the northwest utili ties. He stated that there is a tremendous demand for power, but that the private companies, because of competltfon by Bon neville and Grand Coulee with the United States treasury back of them, can not obtain funds necessary to make the needed installations for expansion of facilities. Nor did the adminis trator mention the low opinion he has of the PUDs that was reserved for private conversa tions. AAA DR. RAVER imparted the In formation that a deal was prac tically completed with Portland General Electric, and he offered ' one million dollars for the com pany which owns Ariel dam In Washington ffom which comes power for the Northwestern Electric Co. operating in Wash ington and the heart of Port land. Later he raised his offer to three million without result. The administrator said he would first acquire Puget Sound Light & Power Co., but was holding back. This company serves Belllngham, Everett. Olympta. Chehalis and Wenat chee. He said, according to re port, that Bremerton needs 100, 000 kilowatts for the navy yard. (Puget Sound company now has about 90 per cent of the load for war industries In Seattle area, surh as all the power for Boe ing aircraft plant at Renton and all but 12.000 kilowatts for the plant at ScattleV AAA AS a cooperative, or holding company, no franchise troubles would arise In any county or city served by Puget Sound company; the cooperative in ac quiring the company would also acquire its franchises.

It has an iris diaphragm (the col ored ring around the pupil) which by its muscular action dilates (enlarges) or contracts (mskes small er) the size of the pupil. The pupil is the black looking central round dot or spot within the ring of the Iris. It looks black for the s a m reason that a hole in B Kl Innl,. Pr.Brady black no light is sent out or reflected back to your eye thru the hole. The pupils normally dilate or enlarge in dim light and con tract or become small in bright light. They normally dilate or enlarge when the eye regards anything at a distance and contract or become small when the eye regards anything close by within a few inches or a foot or two. Emotions may pro duce momentary change in the size of the pupils for example fear or fright causes sudden enlargement or dilation of the pupils. In the Interior of the eyeball is the crystalline lens which focuses rays of light entering thru the pupil upon the retina or sensitive film at the back of the eye. It is this crystalline lens, not the surface of the eyeball, that becomes clouded and more or less opaque in the condition called cataract. The ancients gave the name cataract to this clouding or opacity of the lens because they thought the grad ual loss of sight was caused by some opaque substance pouring down, like cataract, over the front of the lena or cornea (window) of the eye. From this misconception probably came the common popular notion that cataract is a kind of skin or membrane which forms on the eyeball. In the early stage cataract Is not perceptible to the casual observer. Only after the opacity has advanced considerably does me pupil lose Its blackness snd brilliance and begin to appear greyish and dull and at this stage the patient begins to have difficulty in reading or other use of the eyes. Not all opacities or growths on the eyeballs that obstruct clear vision are cataracts. Most gested $100,000,000, less than half the amount that has been stipulated in various proposed bills for a Columbia power au thority. The Puget Sound com pany, alone, is said to have a value in excess of $125,000,000; the Portland General Electric about $60,000,000, the North western Electric about $23,000, 000. The $100.00,000 would be only a drop in the bucket. Of course, for increased generating facilities the taxpayer is ex pected to provide the funds, see BANKERS (Lehman Bros, of New York and First National of Boston) with whom the adminis trator has been dickering for money, are supposed to take revenue bonds at par (certifi cates of hope). Tha bankers, it can be assumed. If the plan goes through, would want to have a "say" as to the board of direc tors of the cooperative as a pro tection for their Investment; possibly one director for each private utility acquired In ef fect, this would simply transfer the properties from present own ersthousands of stockholders to a combination of eastern bankers. With Raver as admin istrative head of the cooperative, he would have a Job Independent of' Secretary of the Interior Ickes, his present immediate boss. , By TRANK JENKINS , mt to , enj lqj the battle of Sinrapore has started."

D. frequently slight injuries to the cornea, or Inflammation ot the cornea (keratitis) -or corneal ulcer, or sometimes herpes In volving the cornea, leaves scar tissue which, if it happens to be in front of the pupil, inter feres with vision. Pterygium is another minor surface condition sometimes mistaken by the vic tim for cataract it is a triangu lar patch of thickened conjunc tival membrane (lining mem brane of lid and covering of eyeball) extending from the In ner angle of eye usually toward or over the pupil, and if It points within the pupillary area of course it interferes with vision. Pterygium pronounced ter-ij-e-um) is generally amen able to a minor surgical opera tion under local anesthesia. Causes of cataract are many. Here we can only give the opin ions of recognized ophthalmolo gists (eye physicians). Most com mon form of cataract is that occurring in men and women alike In advanced age senile cataract. The lens naturally or normally begin to harden and become somewhat yellowish aft er mature age (4J or so). Why this physiological change passes into a pathological stage amount ing to cataract in some indi vidual Is a question to consider in a talk to follow.

Attack on Jap Bases Disproves Propaganda Our Fleet Destroyed By D.Witt Msek.nsie (Wide World War Analyst) Tha United States Pacific fleet's devastating attack on thi Japanese bases in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands is by far the best waf news of the day, not only because it is a amashlng fine victory but because it fin ally blasts the lie that the fleet was destroyed at Pearl Harbor. Despite assurances from Wash ington to the contrary, the Japs have pushed that propaganda hard, and their tale hasn't been hurt in the telling by the fact that two months have passed without much visible naval acti vity to disprove it. Now we know that we have a fleet both sea and air and good one! All of which gives a chance for the little Monday morning sermon that it takes fair spot of faith to win wars. People who are forever rushing about, and grousing "what's the matter with so-and-so" every time there Is a set-back, not only damage their own morale but that of their neighbors. Countries that have been caught napping and unprepared for war, must ex pect to take some knocks while they are getting set for action. Double Victory For Uncle Sam The havoc wrought by our bombers and warships represents a double-edged victory. It has vastly lowered the Japanese striking power against the Ha waiian islands and our west coast And it has eased the threat against our vital sea com- based at Batavla, on the island of Java, 600 miles away. AAA UflTH the siege of Singapore " starting, the siege of Bataan goes on. MacArthur reports to day that "determined enemy at tempts at infiltration through our lines were frustrated." The Japs are reported to be preparing another powerful at tack, with heavy reinforcements. AAA MEANWHILE, the Japs hit 1T1 hard again in a new place the Dutch naval base of Ambol na, lying Just west of the Dutch part of the island of New Guinea. The assault is said to be a furious one, by both land and sea forces. Amboina is the second most important Dutch naval base, and commands another of the pass ages by which allied reinforce ments might be got inside the ring of the Indies islands. The Japs are apparently seek ing to close ALL these entrances. AAA THE British abandon Moul 1 mein, across the gulf of Mar- taban from Rangoon, southern terminus of the Burma road. They retire across the Salween river "after removing stores and equipment" from Moulmein. Apparently they plan to make a stand across the Salween. (Your map will tell you the meaning of all this.) .... . HERE is a notable dearth ot news frnm RnaatA n,v,lu news from Russia which may or may not be important The Russians have been said for days to be on the brink of important successes that would compel serious German with drawals. When big events are in the wind, the news has a habit of closing down. THERE are rumors In the wind of something big brewing in the Mediterranean. Passenger train service in Italy is said to have been sha re ly restricted. This may indicate heavy movement of German forces southward. British Intel- J Ugence (spy service) Is said to have reported unusual concen trations of German planes ln soutnern Italy. It seems reasonable to expect that a blow at British strength in the Mediterranean is in the making. ROMMEL Is still spparently driving the British back from Bengasi.

Phone $030 munications with Australia and the western Pacific battle ground. Our allies in the orient are bound to take much encourage ment from this display of Ameri can air and sea power. Un doubtedly we shall see continua tion of such assaults on the Jap anese island positions, but I think we shall make a mistake if we Jump to the conclusion that the United States Pacific fleet is now going to proceed full steam ahead right into the midst of the battle for Singa pore and the Indies and clean house of the Japs in short order. Just as we shouldn t get down in the mouth every time there is a set-back, so it's equally bad for our blood pressure to enter tain fantastic dreams. It s good enough for us to know that our fighting arms are getting ahead with their Job. The picture of the battle of Singapore looks fairly grim. The Japs apparently have made another important killing in the ! occupation of the Important city of Pontlanak on the west coast of Dutch Borneo. If this is con firmed, it will mean that the little men from the island em pire have secured a further base which lies close to besieged Sin gapore and Dutch Sumatra. Somehow the allies will have to move very considerable air reinforcements to this battle zone if Singapore and the Indies are to be saved. And they will have to be moved fast, because allied air bases are getting mighty scarce. Communications CLEAN UP THE V. 8. To the editor: The single layer ot veneer which lays between the thousand-year old savagery of Japan and the civilization ot the wdrld, as we know it today, has bees ripped away. Today we see them as they really are. In the Pacific are many Islands which are, in themselves, not large enough to support a very large number of people. Taken as a whole, they will furnish homes for a large number of Americanized Japanese, who, un der government supervision, could become Independent after a number of years snd could live under a democratic form of gov ernment. No large munition factories or shipbuilding plants would be feasible so they would never become a menace to this govern ment, especially If they were under the eye of Uncle Sam. Thousands ot white men would thus be able to take these aban doned, or lease-cancelled farms, for war-time production. After the war great progress in the settlement of our soldiers and sailors released from service with no Job or no place to live, could be realized. No one who has children 4U.. , m. Kltl I.

Heretofore, the government i has been ln ,n appeasement state of mind, so that they could not act in sending these Japs out of our country, without offending Japan. I have reason to believe that Pearl Harbor on that De cember Sunday may have dis pelled all that.
