CATARACT OPERATION
I was just reading in the
remarkable weekly journal,
"Scope," that in India, where
diseases of the

The poor half

t h o u s and to
Dr AJvarei the sur g e o n,
who operates in a shack or a
barn or in a tent. The patients
and their relatives sleep on the
ground in the neighborhood of
the "hospital."
A certain Dr. Mathra Das Pah
wa, of Delhi, has removed many
more cataracts than has any
other man living. At 77, he is
still operating all day. He has
removed as many as 707 cata
racts In a day, and can perform
the operation in less than 60
seconds! 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!
New Type Arm
At a recent convention, Dr.
Earl F. Hoerner, of West Orange,
N.J., told about a new type of
artificial arm that is moved by
compressed carbon dioxide, and
regulated by a special valve sys
tem. The person is able to close
his hand with a firm grip, and
he can turn his palm downward
or upward. He can move his arm
at the shoulder and at the elbow.
The arm was devised in Ger-

elk hunting in eastern Oregon,
were accompanied here by Mr.

The new garage that has been

as an artificial arterio-venous

After the change in circulation
has caused the leg to grow, the
opening between the artery and
the vein will be closed.
A very important point is
that there is no use in attempting
this after the ages of 14 years
or so, because after this time,

then the limb cannot be expected

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.
