? *•> r.Aaguat 11950 'IftV £ .* , V m*? Mi HEALTH TALKS f ;«5P;: rj W Citmct A cataract is not a growth or a tttmor. Actually it is a clouding of the lens of the eye which results' in blurring and dimming of vision and, if neglected, ulimate loss of sight, according to the educational committee of the Illinois « Medical Society in a Health . Talk. ^ The structure of the eye Is composed of many parts, including the W* iris, which is the colored part;>the : sclera or the white section, and . the cornea or the transparent part in the fron^ of the eye. The lens of the eye focuses the rays of light on the retina, or the sensitive membrane inside the eye which, In turn, conveys images to the brain. When a cataract develops, the lens becomes cloudy and imags tare blurred. It Is difficult to see ^ clearly. While impairment of vi- - sion is one of the first. symptoms . that a cataract is developing, the ' , same characteristic is associated " In many other eye conditions. The . blurred vision is a signal that something is wrong and should be investigated. ^ While cataracts can occurr at * any age, they commonly develop in older people. In fact, they are Jia part of the aging process. Sometimes children are born with cata- , _ facts and these are called congenital. The moot effective treatment of ' cataract is surgery. In a small percentage of cases, the results are not beneficial and eyesight is not restored. Many factors must be considered, chief of which is the general health of the individual. Nutritional deficiencies, diabetes A. and other conditions must be cor- ^ rected. Because cataracts may occurr m , one or both eyes, some people think they are- infectious. This is not true. Another fallacy is the notion that drops and medicines can be used in the eye to dissolve the cataract. While It is true that an eye physician will, in some patients, prescribe a medication, the aim is to retard the development of £| the cataract and increase the nutrition of the eye. One of the prevalent misconceptions about cataract is that they must be "ripe" before tWfey can be removed. The extent of vision loss and the individual condition of the patient are considered by the eye physician in determining whether sb operation is Indicated, and not the degree of ripeness. In fact, there are some cataracts that never develop to a point where surgery is required, while, in others, neglect permits the condition to progress to a point where surgery would i^ot be successful. If the operation is performed, however, the cloudiness is removed from the lens so that images are again clearly focused and eyesight is restored. 9 Since a cataract Is a disease of the eye, only an ophthalmologist or an eye physician is capable of treating it. An ophthalmologist is a doctor of medicine who has studied the body as a whole and concentrated, in particular, on diseases of the eye. People should ' be wary of Itinerant quacks and peddlers who claim they have a secret formula or a special manipulation that will disolve the cataract. Since the cataract forms within the lens of the eye, it is obvious that no solution can dissolve it. Be suspicious of red eyelids, blurring vision, headaches1 or drowsiness from reading or close work. Your <syes are precious. Take care of them* Have an eye examination by a competent eye physician.

C. Thomas, superintendent o f schools. A year's leave of absence was granted to Miss Annette Sheel, veteran teacher, who has the opportunity to teach in Holland. Miss Sheel was given a leave from the Barrington faculty, where she has served twenty years, to teach in Holland for the 1950-51 term. She is the first teacher from the- United States awarded the opportunity to teach in Holland, the land of her extraction. She is not an exchange teacher, but obtained the position through the Federal Security Agency, Thomas explained. VEHICLE Six children in the U.S. dies each day as the result of pedestrian- vehicle accidents. Ift addition ten of our tots are injured every hour from the same cause. How do our children meet their doom on the streets? To find the answer to this question the Chicago Motor dub conducted a detailed study in, Illinois and Indiana. Here are some of the facts which were uncovered. Thirty-four per cent of Illinois and Indiana children were killed or injured because they were playing in or near a roadway. "Participation in . sports or games near a street invites disaster," warns Chas. M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club. "Children concentrate their minds on the game they're playing. They are not safety-conscious. " "When a child is chasing "a flyball in the outfield he is not thinking of automobiles traveling on the street He's thinking of the cheers he'll get from his team mates for making a one-handed, leaping catch of the ball." Children in the 1-5 year age group were most susceptible to. accidents the* survey showed. Worst day of the week for the children was Saturday, when 25 per cent more accidents occurred than on any otheT week day. Chicago Motor Club traffic engineers pointed out that the heavy concentration of accidents is on Saturday because during the school year Saturday is a day off --a time to have fun and relax. Why isn't Sunday as dangerous as Saturday? On Sunday children are tucked under the parental wings and driven out into the country where they are away from the streets. Supervision cuts down accidents. Children in the 5-14 age group encountered most of their trouble j.k from 4 to 7 p.m. n This three-hour period, the simrvey showed, accounted for 3* per cent of all accidents. When the children were under the control of school - patrols they Were safer. Again, supervision assists In saving the lives of our children. What are the most dangerous months for Illinois and a neighborhood. This stimulates the building of play areas. With sufficient play areas to attract them children will have no reason tor playing In or near a roadway. children? The vacation months-- June, July. August and September-- exacted the highest toll of deaths and injuries. These four months Accounted for 44 per cent of all accidents involving grade school children. Where do most children-vehicle accidents occur? The study showed that 49 per cent of the accidents happened within one block of the child's home! From these facts we dram the first lesson in child safety: DON'T PLAY IN OR NEAR A ROADWAY. Mere repetition of this warning phrase is not enough. Parents must give it force by backing it up with admonitions and punishment. Tell Junior if he plays ball on the street her will have to come into the house. When he disregards your orders make him come in. You'll be disciplining your son--and saving his life, too! Civic and business groups can contribute to this life>-saving venture by sponsoring playground contests. The idea of playground contests, developed by* the Chicago Motor Club, is simple. Cash prizes are offered for the best privately developed plat area In WINS NOMINATION Herbert B.
