'Crying Light'
Aid Deaf Parents
To Care for Child
HURRY! HURRY! TO PENNEY'S BIG

Tuesday, January 1. 1957
j ! w , MEDFORD "
Dallas, Tex. OI.P-' Mr. and
Mrs. Robert J. Wood, both to
tally deaf, use a "crying light"
to tell them when their baby
needs attention.
The "crying light" was built
by Wood's co-workers at Texas
Instruments, Inc. Whenever the
baby cries, it sets a table lamp
to blinking.
It has been a boon to Mr. and
Mrs. Woods, but confuses their
cocker spaniel, Topsy, which
learned that a blinking light,
before the baby came, meant
somebody was at the door.
The gadget isn't completely
original. Before Robert Joseph
Wood Jr. was born Oct. 1, the
parents were intrigued by a
magazine advertisement of a
crying lamp but were bothered
by the large price tag.
So, Cecil Magers and Jesse
Mosely at the instrument plant
put together a box, containing
among other things a transistor,
which is placed near the baby's
crib. Connected Is the table lamp
which can be moved to any part
of the house.
Lamp Flash
Whenever the baby makes the
slightest cry, the lamp starts
flashing and continues until a
witch on the box is cut off and
the device reset.
Naturally, the lamp flashes
quite often. And Topsy immedi
ately runs to the front door to
welcome visitors because she
learned months ago that ring
ing the doorbell caused lights to
blink in every room in the
bouse.
Lights, too, start off the day
for the Woods. They have alarm
clocks that wake them by blink
ing at a pre-set time. Their son's
hearing is fine.
Both the Woods attended spe
cial schools in St. Louis, Mo., to
learn how to read lips and how
to speak. He won letters in foot
ball, baseball and basketball at
Jesuit High School and also
played football at St. Benedict's
College in Acheson, Kan. She
was graduated from Crozier
Technical High School in Dallas
and from Christian College in
; Columbia, Mo.
NEED AN UNCLE SAM
Washington (U.R) The Pres
dential inauguration parade com
mittee is on the .lookout for
Uncle Sam. The committee, in
issuing a call for candidates for

mined expression and be past
middle-age. He also should have
a white goatee, but this is not
mandatory."

Richard Kasischke of the As
