Thurber, whose "The Secret of Life of Walter Mitty" is already considered an American classic, came to his native Columbus, Ohio, this week for the premiere of his Broadway-bound play, "A Thur ber Carnival." Gov. Michael V. Di Salle proclaimed a "James Thur ber Week." and the 65-year-old writer decided to take the oppor tunity to make a public plea for better eye care and support of eye research. By JAMES THURBER Written for UPI I lost my left eye as a result of an accident when I was seven, and 35 years later I began developing a cataract in the other eye.. The removal of the average cataract is simple for a skill ed surgeon. One of the great est of them told me, "it is as easy for us as clipping a fin gernail or tying a shoelace." The operation is successful more than 99 per cent of the time. In the New York hospital where my cataract was re moved in 1940, only three pa tients out of 2,500 failed to recover the vision they had had. I was one of the three be cause my cataract had formed in an eye that had taken a terrible beating in 1902 from a dread infection called sym pathetic ophthalmia. Neglect of eye injuries or eye troubles of any kind is perhaps the major cause of blindness today. If my own left eye had been removed in time it is likely that I would have normal vision . in the other eye today. The first rule is this: If any thing at all happens to your eye, you should see a reputa ble doctor at once. One of the commonest accidents is to cut the cornea, or transparent covering of the eyeball, with HILTS Neighborhood Meet Held By MRS. M. F.

The pain is sharp but usually goes away in a matter of seconds. Nevertheless it would be wise to let an eye doctor look at the eye. Danger To Community Anybody who thinks eye drops of any kind will cure cataract is a danger to himself and to the community. Thou sands of people have spread the false news that cataract can be cured by ordinary cit ric acid. Deluded people all over the world have written me about fake "cures" for cataract and for all other eye conditions. I have not only been told to use orange juice, but to rub my spine with a billiard ball; to put a hot fli.tiron against my temple; to watch jumping beans; to swallow the scrap ings of church bells, and even to become emotionally in volved with an Apache prin cess. Ey Not Fragil The normal human eye is not fragile but one of the strongest organs of the body. Now and then a beating, or fall, or other accident may cause a detachment of the retina, or segment of the retina. This is a condition that cannot and must not be neglected. Although the five operations I underwent were performed just 20 years ago, a distin guished eye doctor told me, "compared to recent, or post war, improvement in knowl edge and technique of eye operations,, you were practic ally operated on in the dark ages. Many people are terrified of eye operations, but they should not be. First of all, do not DELAY and then consult your physician and obtain the name of a reputable eye surgeon. Imported Moth Used on Coast To Control Weed Washington -(Science Service)- An imported insect -the cinnabar moth has been released along the West coast in an attempt to control a weed currently threatening horses and cattle. The moth feeds on tansy ragwort in Europe and Great Britain, U.S. Department of Agriculture researcher James K. Holloway reported. Insect larvae were released in Cali fornia, Oregon and Washing ton where there are heavy in festations of the weed. It is hoped the moth will emerge in the spring at the time tansy ragwort plants are starting to form flower buds. Weed Spreading The toxic weed competes with valuable range grasses and is spreading over more land each year. Chemical con trol is often not economical ly feasible, the USDA here re ported. Tests conducted by ento mologist Harry Parker at the department's Parasite Intro duction laboratory, Paris, France, showed the cinnabar moth "has no liking for any useful plants." The moth lar vae also will not feed on saf flower, a relative of tansy rag wort that is grown as a com mercial oilseed crop. Feed on Foliage Adult moths emerge "in ear ly spring and the females lay their eggs on the underside of the weed's leaves. Larvae feed on the foliage and young buds. Although the cinnabar moth is not expected to eliminate tansy ragwort completely, it should keep it controlled to the point where the weed no longer causes economic stress. Motion Picture Museum May Be a Reality in '60 By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent Hollywood -UPD Looks as if 1960 will be the year the long awaited Motion Picture and Television museum is estab lished. If plans work out, the multi-million-dollar monument to the film industry will become another Southern California tourist attraction equal to Disneyland and Marineland. Producer Sol Lesser, chair man of the Museum commit tee, said the museum commis sion has voted to appropriate land near the famed Holly wood Bowl as the site of the project. Failing in that, the busy corner of Sunset blvd. and Vine st. may be selected. No Question of Start "There is no question the museum will be started this year," Lesser said. "But it will be much more than a museum. "The first thing tourists to this area want to see is a movie being made. Under present conditions it is not possible for them to do so un less they know someone in the studios. "A major part of the mu seum will be a huge sound stage where movies will be filmed. Spectators some 2, 000 at a time - will be seated behind a one-way glass parti tion to watch the entire pro cess unfold. Everything will $40 Returned After Seven Years Albany, N.Y. - An Albany man's faith in human nature has been renewed. In October 1952, Charles Belgorod, service manager of a garage here, lost his wallet containing $40 in the rest room of the garage. The next day the wallet turned up on the parts counter - minus the money. Recently, seven years after the incident, Belgorod receiv ed a registered and signed let ter bearing a New York City return address. Enclosed were $40 in cash and this note: "This is your money; keep t. Many thanks." be explained, including the preparationo for actual film ing, which takes up 90 per cent of the time. "Nothing will be faked." Lesser said the museum is non-profit, and an integral part of the Los Angeles coun ty program of parks and mu seums. Movie companies, however, will not lose money by filming at the museum site. Facilities Offered Free "Producers and studios will use our facilities without charge, and would be schedul ed far enough in advance for proper preparation," he ex plained. "In addition to the working sets, historical records will be displayed, along with famous props,' costumes, scripts and other documents. We will cap ture the great events of film history over the past 65 years, providing a research center for movie-makers and the cin ematography departments of local universities. There also will be a theater for signifi cant pictures." Produced 130 Movies Lesser, who has produced more than 130 movies himself, said television would be well represented too. "We will create a real stud io atmosphere," he concluded. "When tourists return home they can tell their friends they've been to a studio and seen a movie in the making. 10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or.
