BOWMAN TALKS TO PLANT HEADS ABOUT EYESIGHT Specialist Says 8 of 10 War Workers Have Some Fault in Vision Top management and industrial executives of Mason City, including Mayor Howard E. Bruce, heard Milton M. Bowman of the United States department labor, bureau ol labor standards, speak on "Eye at the Hotel Hanford Friday evening.

A 6:30 dinner meeting preceded the talk. "Eight out of every 10 war workers have faulty vision," Mr. Bowman told the group. To prevent industrial accidents we must encourage workmen to use safety goggles to protect their eyes. Our problem'is not the procurement of glasses but the problem of getting workers to wear them." Bowman said that 88 per cent of the objections to wearing glasses can be overcome if workman is impressed with the necessity for wearing safety glasses.

The speaker urged management to. see that alt workers be properly fitted with flash goggles to insure war plant safety and the health of the worker. "The percentage of our industrial accidents resulting from faulty vision varies." Mr. Bowman said. "The percentage ranges from a low of 10 per cent to a high 60 per cent.

"We have 15,000,000 industrial workers today," the speaker said. "Of these, 1,852,000 men and women were, involved in 'accidents, many of them I could not properly see. Many of our behavior- isms arise from faulty vision. We must consider eye correction as a means of saving the sight millions of our men and women. Mr: Bowman urged that the following steps be taken to prevent loss of vision: 1.

Consider your eyesight first. Z. -See competent professional talent for correction. 3. Follow the advice of the eye doctor.

4. Protection of the eye. "When you use your eyes, use your head," the speaker advised. "We must conserve vision and we must have efficient rehabilitation of the worker's eyes. Without a definite program we would destroy the morale of our workers who would become doubtful of their security while working in danger- our plant areas." The speaker said that 78 per cent of the public is going blind needlessly.

Approximately 95 per cent of those suffering from deficient eyesight can be saved if proper steps are taken promptly and if competent advice is sought. At the same time, -Mr. Bowman congratulated the industrial leaders oi Mason City on their excel- ent safety record, "Ninety per cent of those people vith faulty vision are far sighted," to the eye consultant. 'The great majority of them can ee, but only with extreme effort. Then too, color blindness is an ever present factor in our indus- rial accidents.

When you confront a -workman with faulty eyes, send him to a competent doctor and see that after the prescription filled, that he has a choice in he glasses or goggles he wears to nsure his comfort." Mr. Bowman exhibited several human eyes which were recently removed from workmen who vere industrial accident victims, A slide film, "Sight was shown. The pictures were diagrams of the construction of the vuman eye and its reactions visual conditions. Services of Mr. Bgwman were made available here through the tfason City Cerro i Gordo county Safety Council, the Iowa State Safety Council and Prof.

Earl Baird of the engineering exten- ion service of Iowa State college Ames. Prof. Baird introduced the speaker and urged plant manage- nent to send industrial problems to Iowa State college extension service. The speaker is enroute to the west coast and has scheduled intermediate talks at various war slants at Des Moines, Newton, St Louis and Phoenix.

CANCER CURABLE IF FOUND EARLY Dr. Davidson Tells of Cures for, Disease Cancer is the most curable of all highly latal it is caught early.

That was the encouraging message given by Dr. T. E. Davidson KGLO Forum listeners Friday evening. Dr.

Davidson discussed the causes and 'cures of cancer, emphasizing' the importance of correct public -knowledge of the disease as a primary means of controlling it. "There are many kinds of cancer, though all cancer has in common disorderly multiplication of cells, tendency to spread wide- in the body and fatal termina- ion if not treated early and adequately," Dr. Davidson said. He named several foolish, yet ommon public beliefs about auses of cancer, pointing out that all of them are untrue. Cooking nth.

aluminum and electrical re- rigeration do not cause cancer; it is not primarily caused by.consti- or significantly affected by the use of drinking milk, ating meat or any other food does ot or cure cancer; it is not jenerated by immoral or unsocial practices nor transmitted from parent to offspring Dr. Davidson mentioned, as con- ributary causes of cancer, chemi- al, thermal or mechanical irrita- ion. The disease can be cured by nrgrery, by X-ray and by radium, it is discovered early. With the knowledge of cancer which medial science now to 50 per cent, of cancer deaths can be eliminated entirely. He spoke in high praise of the iield army of the American Cancer society, which is doing much to aid study and control of the disease, and urged his listeners to contribute generously to this organization.

'JWe can benefit from such a srogram only as we give to it," Dr Davidson concluded. "Let the people know the facts, and the people will do their part. We must guard those we love with knowledge and action." IT'S NEXT WEDNESDAY, scene will be re-enacted on the streets of Mason City next Wednesday when city trucks will make a citywide pickup of tin cans. Housewives are asked to have the processed tin cans in containers on the curb, where Boy Scouts will load them. 400 Girl and Boy Scouts of City Gather Old Clothing House to House Search Made for Donations on Fred Kellogg Day Former Mason Cityan Raises Prize-Winning Homing Pigeons in West "It's a thrilling sight to watch formation of 1,000 racing pigeons take to the air," Mrs.

J. H. Woolworth of Pasadena, formerly of Mason City, said in a letter to friends here. Her son, Richard, has won a number of prizes for his racing entries on the west Nearly 400 Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, manning trucks donated by local business firms, were scouring the city Saturday in house-to-house search for used clothing. Saturday was Fred Kellogg day, dedicated to the memory of the late chairman of the United National Clothing collection.

The -Scouts and local campaign committee members hoped to make the day's collection a complete success in tribute to and fulfillment of the work begun here by Mr. Kellogg. All signs pointed to the realization of those hopes. Clothing was pouring into the collection depot at 32 East State, where a group of VFW auxiliary members sorted it, preparatory to packing; and shipping. The clothing will be added to a national pool and distributed in Europe and the Western Pacific among needy- and destitute victims of German and Japanese tactics in liberated areas.

It is hoped that by the end of April, when the nation-wide campaign ends, 150 million pounds of clothing will have been donated by the American people to their less- fortunate allies. Trucks, recruited by a Junior Chamber of Commerce committee headed by Gordon Schaper, were loaned for the day by these firms and public service companies: Marshall and Swift, Ideal American laundry. Phalen cleaners, the Peoples' Gas and Electric company, the Jefferson Transportation company, the City hall, Kurtz Plumbing company, the Mason City Bottling company, Stockberger Trucking service, the Northwestern States Portland Cement company, Carl Stein company.

"Homing pigeons were originally used in the first World war, with 72 pigeons seeing action," Mrs. Woodworth says. Seventy-eight important messages were carried to American forces in the Aisne- Marne sector without the loss of! a bird.
