SHOCK GIVES SIGHT T0 Blind from birth, eleven-months-old Raymond Hanniver can now see for the first time, as the result of a shock caus- ed by a burn. WHEN FRANK GETS ON THE Spemialists who attended the baby at the Eye and Ear Hospital in Mel- bonnie said he would remain blind all his life. Baby Raymond was sent home but a few nights later a spark shot on the leg. He cried as children will do as the result of shock, but his mother noticed there was a new look in his eyes. The parents took their baby back to the hospital and were overjoyed to find as a result of tests by specialists that young Raymond could see. The spec- ialists are agreed that the effects of the shock will be permanent. (Close to highways) I think that I shall never see, Along the road, an unscraped tree With bark intact, and painted white, That no car ever hit at night. For every tree that’s near the road Sideswiping trees is done a lot By drivers who are not so hot. God gave them eyes so they could see, Yet any 1001 can hit a tree. GET READY FOR WINTER! Have your chimneys, furnace and stove pipes, and cisterns cleaned and over- hauled. Satisfaction guaranteed. Terms moderate.-â€"James P. McLean, Durham.
