He put a drop of anes thetic solution in the eye; he makes a cut through the upper half of the window of the eye; he pulls out the lens with a hook; he bandages the eye; and that's that!

This is an opening be tween an artery and a vein. After the change in circulation has caused the leg to grow, the opening between the artery and the vein will be closed.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Catholics Justified Asking School Aid, Jewish Man Says Washington (IP) A noted Jewish educator said Saturday Roman Catholics would be just ified "in principle" in seeking public subsidies for parochial schools.!' But the educator, Will Her berg, said it would not be "ad visable to press such claims at the present time or in the fore seeable future" because Ameri can public opinion is not ready to accept the idea. Herberg is professor of Ju daic studies and social philoso phy at Drew University, Madi son, N.J. He is author of "Protestant-Catholic-Jew" and other widely read book on American religious life. He expressed his views on public aid to religious schools in an article written for the weekly Catholic magazine, America. Herberg said religious schools "perform a public function, sup plying large numbers of chil dren with an education that is everywhere taken as the equiv alent of the education given in the public schools." Th magazine, in publishing his article, noted that U. S. Ca tholic leaders have "disavowed" any intention of seeking direct public support of Catholic schools. What Catholics do seek, it said, are "all appropriate aux iliary services" such as bus trans portation, school lunch pro grams, health services and the like, for parochial students.
