PRISONERS OF WAR IN THE FAR EAST Toronto, Dec. 28, 1944--Over 2,600 cases of relief supplies, weighing 232 tons, from the Canadian Red Cross for Canadian prisoners of war in the Far East have reached Kobe, Japan, from a Russian port, it was announced today by Norman C. Urquhart, Chairman of the Canadian Red Cross National Exectuive Committee. "These supplies were picked up by a Japanese vessel at Nakhoda, a Soviet port 100 miles east of Valdivo-stock," Mr. Urquhart said. "About a year ago in co-operation with the British and American Societies we despatched our supplies from a ves-tern United States port via Russian ships to Valdivostock at the suggestion of the Japanese government after ether methods of sending prisoner of war supplies to the Far East had been rejected by that government." The combined cargo for all prisoners was valued at $1,500,000 and included 300,000 food parcels, 2,661 cases of drugs and medical supplies, 19,500 sets of clothing, 4,200 pairs of army boots, 7,080 overcoats, 125 cases of shoe repair materials, 21, 000 sets of toilet articles, one million cigarettes, and 299 cases of Y.M.C.A books and religious and recreational supplies. "We have been informed by the Japanese government," Mr. Urquart said, "that a delegate of the International Committee of the Red Cross met the ship at Kobe to direct the forwarding of materials to Allied prisoners of war. The International Delegate has been instructed to make every effort to see that supplies are sent to camps that did not receive their share of the previous two shipments sent on the diplomatic exchange ship Gripsholm." Mr. Urquhart pointed out that although arrangements have been made for further shipments to go forward by the Russian route the Canadian Red Cross is prepared to send more supplies across the Pacific immediately should negotiations with Japan be consolidated.

There are twelve principal cranial nerves. Four of these are monopolized by the sight. Two others have eye associations. Even the part of the brain that works automatically--the part for instance that controls the process of digestion, that makes us shrink from a blow, that makes muscles twitch in-voulntary -- is connected with the sight. The visual areas of the brain occupy more area than any other. It is plain that brain power and eye power go hand in hand. Because of all this you have more muscular control over your eyes than any other part of the body. This control over the eyes is not born with us. It is acquired, just as the knack of walking is learned. A newborn baby cannot make full use of its eyes. The eyes tend to turn out. It has to learn the trick of turning them in and seeing straight. Most of the eye muscles are used to hold the eyes in the right position. When we go to sleep our eye muscles relax. The result : our eyes turn out; they are resting. You can see from all this why good vision and good health are so closely related. Nature is so bent on helping you see effectively that she will divert enrgy needed in other parts of the body to the functions of vision. That happens when you need corrective lenses, though you may not know it. Eye fatigue invariably means a strain on the health. Numerous systemic disturbances are caused or aggravated by eyes that require more than their normal quota of nerve stimuli. Only a fraction of these conditions are accompanied by any discomfort in the eyes themselves. It requires the services of an Optometrist to thoroughly analyse the numerous types of effort involved and to diagnose any deficiencies.
