Mrs. Frank, Wilson and' Mrs. Frank AMEND BOUSE BILL NO. IS1 ^ Chicago, March 6, 10S3 To the Editor of the McHenry Plaindealer: May I give you some hitherto un revealed information regarding legis lation for the compulsory treatment of babies' eyes now pending at the State Capitol? From the health department authorities I have gathered statistics which put House Bill No. 161 in a new light and made clearer the reasonableness of an amendmer.t now urged by a thoughtful element of our population- On February 22nd, in a speech urging the passage of the bill without an amendment, a member of the House said, "the health department reports sho^there were eighty eigtft babies blinded in Chicago in 1931 and sixty-nine in 1932." () Sutfh a statement is misleading. The facts are these: The eighty-eight babies reported in 1931 and the sixty-nine babies in 1932 were not blinded; they were cases of ophthalmia neonatorum brought to the attention of the Chicago Board of Health. Ophthalmia neonatorum is the disease which the proponents of House Bill No. 161 contend is prevented by the instillation of silver nitrate In the eyes of newlyborn infants. Evidently the silver nitrate solution was ineffectual when administered as a hospital custom in most of the hundred and fifty-seven ' cases just , mentioned. Fortunately, all but two babies in 1931 and two in 1932 got well. I am in .a positron to submit figures, in - refutation of the foregoing statement uttered from tha floor of the House of Representatives. In a letter dated*February 18, J933, Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, President of the Chicago Board of Health, states that in 1932 two babies out of a total of 49,258 births in Chicago, were blinded -by reason of ophthalmia neonatorum. One child so blinded was ^pid to be illegitimate with no birth certificate; the other baby so blinded had a solution of silver nitrate instilled iu the eyes. Yet with such preventive treatment this child became totally blind. Dr. Bundesen further states that in 1931 two babies out of a total of 52,993 births in Chicago, were blinded by reason of ophthalmia neonatorum. Ofcie child (so blinded and said to be illegitimate, was born in a shack in Wisconsin with no proof obtainable as to the use, or omission* of silver nitrate injection.' The other infant so blinded was, to quote Dr. Bundesen, "born in a hospital that uses silver nitrate solution as a routine procedure and there is every reason to believe that drops were instilled into its eyes." From this Board of Health I have secured the additional report of blindness resulting from ophthalmia neonatorum in babies in Chicago for other years as follows: In 1930, three babies in one eye; one baby in both eyes. In 1929 the record states, "None to our knowledge". ' In 1928 one baby blinded in both eyes; one baby in one eye. In 1927 two babies blinded in both eyes; one baby in one eye. In 1926-one baby blinded in both eyes. Now, this report covers the Chicago area of dense population held by medical doctors to be fertile ground for diseases. Doubtless a State report would ^how less blindness. Surely these facts do not indicate an "alarming increase in blindness in Illinois" nor are these few blind babies costing the state "millions of dollars" as is frequently asserted by the proponents of House Bill No. 161. j The many readers of your valued newspaper who perhaps do not believe that the injection of silver nitrate unfailingly prevents blindness should have this information in the interest of truthful news. Your readers also should be informed that a just amendment to House Bill No. 161 is proposed tb exempt those parents who practice healing "by prayer or spiritual means as an exercise or enjoyment of religious freedom." Such an amendment upholds the principle enunciated in Bill of Rights in the Constitution. Furthermore, such amendment does not in any way restrict the use of material medication for those who wish it. : House Bill No. 161, has a sympathetic appeal but such appeal should not becloud the facts about it. Our children are dear to all of us. I have done and will continue to do all in my power to prevent blindness in these little ones. Morever, I would King attended the 4-H club meeting j not de•n yi any one. the right. to use, any at Graysil_aik-_e Saturday_ ! material means to prevent blindness.

Freund & Son CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS Phone 127-R McHenry Our experience is at Yonr i Service in building . ^ Your Wants \ Fiaindealers for sale at Wattles But in the light of the facts just mentioned, silver nitrate injections at birth do not prevent blindness. Therefore, I question the right of the State to pass a law forcing fallible medication upon its citizens. Obviously, House Bill No. 161, as passed by the House, is mandatory legislation. If amended as proposed it becomes reasonable legislation. - Sincerely yours, -HUGH STUART CAMPBELL, , Christian Science Committee on Publication for Illinois. -1 : r'--:-- :-- fttanr Different Bat* There are ^between 400 and >%> known to ionce. mo 1933 WORLD FAIR ON SOUND BASIS Ahead of Schedule, Open* ing on June 1 Is Certain. - ------ $ . Chicago's 1988 World's Fair, "A Century of Progress," will open oa June 1, next, exactly as scheduled. Every building within the exposition grounds will be completed and ready for visitors on opening day. Every major Item of every exhibit will be In place. These are not vague promises. On January 1, five months before the opening date, the Fair's construction program was 80 per cent completed. Already vast buildings •covering many acres have risen on the sita Already nearly a million visitors have enjoyed a pre-view of the Faip, coming at the rate of more than 5.000 a day. These multitudes have gone their way to broadcast the marvels already achieved, and yet to come. ; * BuifSing Ahead of Schedule Favorable weather through the fall made it possible to place every jjmjor exposition building under construction. Eighteen buildings are; completed or nearing completion. Thirteen other major structures are under way. On January 1 nine more were on^the schedule for immediate construction,, with contracts signed, sites chosen, • architects' pl&ns completed and approved, and costs of constructijn appropriated. There Is an absolute assurance that the programs of these exhibitors will be completed In ample Time. Besides all these projects, about which there la no shadow of a doubt, there are seven more buildings planned that seem assured. These are the Chinese, Japanese, Netherlands, India, French and Italian buildings and the Belgian village. ' Lineup of the Building Program * These are the: buildings already completed or nearly completion: Administration, Hall of Science, Chinese Llama Temple, Fort Dearborn group, Lincoln group. General Motors, Chrysler, Travel and Transport, Blue Ribbon inn, Masonite house, Agriculture, Dairy, Electrical ' group. Social Science hall. Communications building, at)(Whree pavil- . Jons of general exhibits. Building construction already under way before January 1, 1SW3, included : Sky Ride, IHtnois Host, Sears Roebuck,1 Maya temple. Old Heidelberg. Enchanted island. Horticultural, Federal, and^MaH of States buildings, and the Twenty-third street bridge, the north entrance and two pavilions of the General Exhibits building. The vPine buildings for which contracts have beeu let are the individual structures of the American Radiator and Sanitary corporation, Christian Science Publishing company, Firestone Tire & Rubber company, Johns-Manvilte corporations. National Poultry council. National Terrazzo and Mosaic' association. Religious Exhibit committee. Southern Cypress Manufacturers' association, and Thomas A. Edison, Inc. On Sound Financial Baaia The World's Fair of 1933 is/ solvent. Not only solvent to date, but on January 1 there was a cash balance of more than $l,000,00u after all obligations had been met. There Is also a continual flow of receipts from exhibitors and other sources to insure full financial responsibility for the whole comprehensive program. More than 230 of the greatest corporations and associations In the United States have signed contracts aggregating close to $5,000,000 for the purchase of exhibit space in Exposition buildings, or for the erection of special buildings of their own. Concession contracts exceeding $4,000,000 already have been signed to provide for amusement devices, transportation facilities within the grounds, restaurants, and other features for the comfort and conven lence of visitors.

AT this time when many people are actually in want of food, it Is Important to determine what is the best form in which to give it to them. Here is evidence from New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Cincinnati that canned foods should play a'large part in food distribvtion for charity; The woman's page editor of a large New York morning newspaper writes: "Canned foods played a decided part in the 16,000 baskets which were distributed by our Christmas and relief fund. At least one can of peas, one can of corn, two cans of soup, one can of pork and beans, one can of milk and one can of coffee were included in every basket Economical and Always Good •^Certainly the value of these canned foods cannot be underestimated. A family receiving one of these splendidly filled baskets, grateful for it in a time of desperate need, is not forced to eat the contents of the basket in a given space ot time- The canned foods can be used one by one, and they will be just as good, just as fresh, just as edible, even If theyvtre left on the shelves tor months! "The canned foods afford a food ~«11 ready to serve, requiring only a minimum t of gas heat. There's a saving of the fuel. They bring summer fruits and vegetables into bleak, winter diets, tnrt they help to make meals balanced. "Not only do eanned foods play an Important part In food distribution work at the present tine, but they play an important If not a leading part in the dietai^ of the American home." The Philadelphia Way Om of the editors of a great Philadelphia daily newspaper writes: "Canned foods form the basis of most of the independent charitable movements in the Mcinity of Philadelphia, for they have the three most necessary qualities--• they are substantial, cheap and easy to handle. For these reasons, among others, people think first of canned foods when they want to make gifts of foodstuffs to the poor. "Theaters in this city and in suburban communities nearby have been holding what they call 'Canned Food Matin6es', at which the only admission charge is a certain amount of canned foods. This is turned over to the local relief organizations for immediate delivery. The theater managers feel that this is the best way to help, for canned foods keep until they are actually needed, and are easy to prepare. The latter item is important to many people who have no means In their homes of preparing foods, and have no means of cooking them. "Without'* exaggeration, It can be said that canned foods play the most important part of any other item of direct relief." Los Angeles Approves The director of the Home Economics Department of one ot the principal Los Angeles papers writes* "X have seen quite a number of charity baskets and find thait each one of them contained ] canned fruits or vegetables, or both. These baskets are usually j pat up by the wholesale houses i or by one or two large chals j grocers. f "Without exception, the basket® [ contained a large can ot tomatoe* ! can of corn, can of peas, poung < of prunes and a loaf of bread* i That seems to be the canne# . foods content of the regulation ! basket with possibly the addition of one or two cans of canpet salmon." • Cincinnati's Christmas v ; AIN'T IT THE TRUTH! TttfVT S TEH YEftftS THE TlM&S -- The Director of Home nomlcs of a big -Cincinnati new* i. paper writes: ( "Came the holiday season ani out from the Home Forum went ; a call for Christmas cheer.
