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

religious activity If actively ap

Utilities Grab

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.

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. A similar
situation would exist in other
cities served by private utilities

CATARACT
The eye is constructed and
works much like camera. 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

Ickes, his present immediate
boss.

volving the cornea, leaves scar
tissue which, if it happens to
be in front of the pupil, inter

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.

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.

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.

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
