THE SAYA DALY TES HERNIA NEOERMRRC 1 438 PACE BlLEVEN PAGE SEVEN Parent Problem by GARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D. "Dear Dr. Myers: I have been reading your column for years and have found many good suggestions in it. You had ua recent article on the cross-eyed child. "Have you ever considered the bow-legged child? He also suffers untold agonies and ridicule from thoughtless people. Can you imag- ine what it means to # young girl or boy not to be able to go swim- ming or for a girl not to be able to wear shorts like the rest of the 'gang'? I think it would be a good idea if in some of your articles you would tell parents how to correct this fault in their child before it is too late. It can be done if par- ents are not too carele:s or ignor- ant." Proper Diet This mother has made a good point. Bowed legs can be prevented by proper diet and proper medical care from the pre-natal period on- ward. It can even be corrected in the early years. Just how late in the child's life this corection should be attempted, only the bone expert can safely advise. Those parents concerned should ask their family doctor to refer them to the proper specialist, or should write to the public health office of the city, county or state, or to the local Aca- demy of Medicine. Bow-legs result from insufficient bone food and generally indicate richitis, an ailment commonly call- ed rickets. Among the preventive means are sunshine and its nearest substitute, cod liver oil, or other deep-sea fish oil; milk, vegetables and fruit. Bowness of legs is first manifest to the average person when the child begins to stand and walk, though the causes may have devel- oped much earlier. Only a skilled physicians is capable of prescribing for such a child. Bowed at Birth Of course, the normal child's legs are bowed some at birth, Also the child with ample diet, sunshine and cod liver oil, if greatly overweight, might, by standing too long at a stretch or too much, in the early stages of his standing and walking, acquire bowed legs, I understand. Bowed legs and awkward placing of the feet may also be caused by improper shoes. Obvivusly the earl- fer such errors are dealt with by a proper trained expert, the easier and more certain the correction. Once the child in his early years has acquired bowed legs leave it to the advice of a bone specialist as to whether braces or other means of correction should be resorted to. To protect the feelings of the old- er child who has bowed legs, learn to act sensibly toward the matter and try to help other adults and children do likewise.

In like manner you may receive "Slgges- tions on Preventitn and Correction of Thumb Sucking." Solving Parent Problems Q. Would you compel a child to apologize. A. No; neither at home nor be well if he could be induced, of his own free will and accord, to | apologize. - LEADER OF FREE FRENCH IN LS SURE OF VICTORY Sees Victory in Battle of Britain as Preventing Battle of America By LEON EDEL, Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, Nov. 20, -- (CP) -- Eugene J. Houdry, 48-year-old mechanical engineer, the world's foremost petroleum au- thorities, believes that the Battle of Britain is still the Battle of France, and that victory in the Battle of Britain will prevent the Battle of America. A sturdy, broad - shouldered Frenchman who was born in the Paris region and is head of a pet- roleum processing corporation that bears his name, Houdry is the elect- ed leader of the "Free Frenchmen" of the United States, who have ban- ned themselves into an organization known as "France Quand Meme" which they freely translate "France Forever." In the offices of "France Quand Meme" high in Rockefeller Centre, amidst a legion of workers, M. Houdry explained why he and other French leaders in the United States banded together and signed the charter of their organization last Sept. 28 in Independence Hall at Philadelphia. His manner was blunt. emphatically, "I can explain our aims very simply. They are three-fold. "First, we want to aid our com- patriots, those in France under Ger- man domination, those under Vichy, under indirect German domination, those abroad fighting for a Free France. To this purpose we have organized committees, and are tak- ing care of a vast program of work. There are frequent short-wave broadcasts abroad. We hope soon to have dally broadcasts and so keep France informed what is going on in the outer world, the non-Nazi world. "Second, we have created an ex- tensive service of information, a press service to fight the lies of Nazi propaganda directed against France. "Third, we think constantly of national defence, ways and means by which we can ald Gen. de Gaulle; improvement of research He spoke Births Marriages Deaths When there is a new arrival in the family or a marriage takes place, your friends throughout the city and province will appreciate being in- formed immediately.

"Naturally we are co-operating with Great Britain to the fullest extent possible." An ex-soldier, lieutenant in the Tank Corps during the first Great War, who was wounded in 1917 at the Battle of Juvincourt, M. Houdry likes nothing better than to cut through red tape and get straight | down to issues at hand. | "The first thing I'm suspicious about," he said, "is when anyone 'things are going smoothly." We improving. Things are never per- | fect; there's always room for im- | provement, That's the attitude that's needed in defence matters." M. Houdry has had experience | with official red tape. After the |last war he began the study of fuel | | problems in wartime. He establish- ed a syndicate for study of the | manufacture of fuel derived from | {lignite. In 1926 he informed the {French government of the results he had obtained but found the vari- | |ous departments concerned indif- | ferent to his proposals and his dis- | coveries. He lost no time accordingly, in| accepting the invitation of an | United States oil company and es- tablished here the Houdry Process- ing Corporation. Now 15 Houdry units are in operation, capable of producing aviation gasoline base. Houdry was responsible for the first industrialization in what oil men describe as "catalytic cracking." The French government caught up with his work in 1939 when he | was recalled to Paris to discuss the processing of aviation gasoline. They conferred the Legion D'Honneur on him. He was already a holder of ! the Croix de Guerre. As a former soldier, he feels deeply the predicament of Marshal | Petain. These are the words in which ha | speaks of Vichy:-- "For us the French government no longer exists, . There remains only in Vichy a very old and tired | marshal of France, who was so greatly beloved by the men who fought under him in the last war. We regret that his conception of loyalty, honor, duty, as well as his wisdom, are the object of a painful discussion and criticism throughout the world. "We declare that such a govern- ment is without a legal or moral authority." Must Revise Methods Of Fighting Sabotage Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 19 (AP) --Representative Martin Dies, chairman of the House of Repre- sentatives Committee of un-Ameri- can Activities, asserted teonight the United States must revise "old, orthodox theories of counter- espionage" to combat successfully subversive elements. In a lecture in Civic Auditorium, Dies said the "fifth column" in the United States is better organized and has more money than similar groups in countries overrun by to- talitarian powers, He declared a campaign of sabo- tage and propaganda already has been launched in the United States by agents of foreign powers and would continue unless "prompt ac- tion and effective measures are taken."

MANIS REMANDED FOR THREATENING William Poole of Madoc Faces Charge Madoc, Nov. 20--On a charge of uttering a threatening letter con- trary to the Criminal Code, William Poole, of Madoc, was remanded un- til December 2 in Madoc court on Monday. He was later allowed out on bail of $750 at the request of his counsel, R. A. Pringle, of Belleville. The charge against Poole was laid on November 8 by Provincial Con- stable A. Dymond, of Madoc. Police allege Poole wrote a letter to Carl Stockloser, manager of a Madoc dis- trict talc mine, threatening that if a certain emplcye were not laid off the mine would be blown up. Poole has been held in custody since that time and was remanded for trial until Monday. A further remand of two weeks was granted by Magis- trate John L. Lloyd, of Northbrook, at the request of Crown Attorney Gordon Robertson. Minor traffic violation cases com- pleted the court sitting at Madoc on Monday. FATHER OF 25TH CHILD Berlin, N.H, Nov. 20.--(AP)-- Arthur Morel, 46, announced the birth yesterday of his 25th child. Twenty-two of the children are liv- ing. Twelve were born to Morel's first wife, who died. His second wife, who is 34, is mother of 13. BOMBS IN WATER NOT SAFE BOMBS Prof. Rogers Tells How to Handle "Enemy Pack- ages" Toronto, Nov. 20--Dor't put that bomp in water! This was the advice of Prof. L. Joslyn Rogers in a lecture on the care, handling and '"'=eding" of bombs to the Provincial Civil De- fense Committee dat volice head- quarters yesterday Police chiefs from various On- tario centres listened tv Prof. Rog- ers' suggestions on the treatment of , unexploded bombs, and how to ex- plode them. They learned that the best opinion of bomb experts in the F.B.I. and New York police depart ment was against han:ling bombs at all, if it could be avalded. "You have to consider 'rst your duty to the public," Prof Rogers sald. "Next comes your obligation to your brother officers: third is your obligation to yourself and last ly the property damage that would result if the bomb was permitted to explode in its own time. The common belief that a bomb was safest if put in witer was not substantiated by recent study, the lecturer said. Even picking up a bomb could set it off. Pilling out the fuse was not recommended either. If it was desired to control the direction of the explusion, sand- bags would protect one fide and di- rect the force of the blast in the opposite direction. If it was decided to remove an unexploded bomb, Prof. Rogers sug- gested that a sheet of celluloid be slipped underneath, followed hy a board. Then a wide-open field was recommended and rifle fire selected as the means of detonating the bomb. In some types, a Stilson wrench, a rope and g safe barrier, rigged up something a'ter the de- sign of a Rube Goldberg invention could be safely used 'o dismantle the bomb, Ontario lacked suitable equipment for proper examination of bombs Prof. Rogers hinted. 'A portable fluroscope or X-ray machine would permit an expert to determine the type of mechanism anc arrive at the best scheme for taxing it apart. "We have discussed the types of bombs that have been common in the Eastern States, and to a lesser extent here," the speaker said. "But when we get in real war production we hope we will probably be faced with one of the cleverest devices the Germans can make." There was a needless loss of life in the handling of the homb at the New York World's Fair last sume mer, Professor Rogers said, All of the best opinion indicated that there was little technical informa- tion available about some types oi bombs. "The men of the F.EI are cer- tainly not 'yellow' and there is no reason why you should feel you look 7' foolish if you decide 'o leave bomb aione," he said. "The F.B.I believes that in a majority of e: a bomb is best left to explode where it was found, after suitable precaus tions have been taken tn protect all persons in the vicinity . None of us know much about bombs, but I fear we will have to know more in the future." Dr. B. T. McGhie, Deputy Min- ister of Health for Ontario, addres- ced the committee yesterday after- noon on medical services, and Dr. W. S. Caldwell spoke on the Red Cross and civilian defense.
