INFORMATION INJR OF CIIILDILEN SQUINT

When parents first notice that their child has It squint-strabip mus-they may have visions of his appearance when he attains school age and has to meet thoughtless

inferiority complex he may develop because of his eye defect. Added to this is the unsound and conflict-

ing advice and predictions friends and neighbors regarding the treating that is needed-no

operation. just eye exercises. the wearing of glasses to strengthen the weak eye and weaken the strong eye. deferring operation till school age or puberty age..

Because of all this anxiety and confusion. parents should know that now oculists (eye phylclans and eye surgeonsr can do wonder- ful things in correcting squint. There should be no need for worry.- cxcept that parents may have an anxioub time between treatments. medical or surgical.

In Modern Medicine of Canada. Di'. Joseph C. Hill. department oil opthalmology. L'I1lVEllSli.y of Tor-' onto. faculty of medicine. attend- ing opthalmologlst. 'l'ni;onto' Gen- eral Hospital. states that when a mother visits the family physician or children's specialist and asks. ”What shall I do? My child's eyes have started to turn." the little patient should be directed to an opthalmologist immediately. even at the age of two or three months. This may appear to be a very early age but an observation at an early age is a great advantage to the opthaimologist. the highest auth- ority on the medical or surgical care of the eyes.

Dr. llill outlines the simple home. methods by which parents can give necessary help to their child at the various ages. two to three months. 18 months and five years. This helping of the child in itself does much for the parents and the child- parent relationship.

Parents naturally want to know whether an operation is necessary and. is so, at what age should it be

"If the patient is over five years old and his seeing ability cannot be increased in three months. an op-l eration is recommended for cos-. metic (facial appearance) reasons."i

When the squint commences at the age of two or three or younger if full correcting spectacles do not overcome the defect. operation should be carried out immediately. as the sooner operation is done in suitable cases the better the chances for a satisfactory result.

The above authoritative inform- ation ahould do much to relieve the anxiety and remove the natur- al confusion of parents regarding their child with squint.

Harsh Words A

Wounded Feelings Sometimes Are Difficult To Heal

.....,.j. DEAR MISS DIX: Recently I had I terrific quarrel with my father. end said some things for which I am very sorry, He said he never wanted to speak to me again. Twice I have tried to make up. I have admitted I was wrong. but he say; he doesn't want to speak to me. How can I get him to listen to me?

ANSWER: You must have wounded your fath- er'I feeling: very deeply fo; him to refuse so stead- fastly to speak to you. All you can do is renew your apologies at intervals until the hurt wears ll little. In the future. be more considerate of hlni and more careful of the things you say.

HE'S NOT INTERESTED

DEAR MISS DIX: For two months I have been going with I boy I have learned to love very deeply. Neither of us has gone with any- one else in that time. The last time we were out together, he took me home, then told a boy friend to tell me he wus going to school again and wouldn't see me for some time. I love him so much I wouldn't care if we couldn't go out. I have called him. have had my girl friend call him and have written him risking him to change his mind. I am 16. and he is three years older.

Muriel Nlueu

ANSWER: Better start at the beginning again with a new beau. Josephine. This one apparently has other intentions. and your per-

lslsient efforts to make him change them are driving him further

After a friendship of two months. he can scarcely be ox- Ynu probably were al- ihe brief two

.'iWH)'. peeled to fake a pledge of eternal devotion. together too possessive and demanding even during months of acquaintance.

The chances of getting him back are very slim andnivheiher you believe it or not, I assure you your heart is not irreparably broken.

DEAR MISS DIX: What can a girl do when she doesn't want to go steady with one boy, yet all the crowd assumes that she is? have been going with a boy for six months and. though I like him very much. I would like to go out with other boys. as I think 17 is too young to go steady. How can I show other boys that I am avail- able for dates?

VIRGINIA P.

ANSWER: This is virtually impossible within Wlie confines of your own crowd. The "going steady" custom of today limits 2: couple's dates to each other when they've gone out together only three or four times. The dtfficully would be that other boys in the group are probably similarly bound to other girls. If you stop going with your present beau. naturally the friendship ends.

A Iiiualion like this is one of the pernicious effects of going steady yet. since it has become so intrenched as a teen-age custom. only lime will change it-as it does all adolescent trends.

You might try inviting some other boy to a school dance or picnic. or some other gathering to which you are supposed to bring an escort. This will let the other boys know that you are not limited in one male companion. but whether they will take up the cue or not is another thing.

DEAK MISS DIX: Which comes first-a man's wife or mother? My husband goes to see his mother every day during lunch hour. and often stops there on his way home from work. When he comes home. there is nothing but faultfinding. I know he loves his mother morc than he does me. I am W. he in 27. and we have no children. since I have lost so al since our marriage six years ago. Now I don't think I will ev have one. My henlth isn't good, but my bus- band doesn't seem to care. Do you think I should send him back :0 his mother?

BARBARA L.

.

ANSWER: Are you sure that none of the fault lies within your- self? Your ill health may have made you too demanding--too prone to nag. With no children to care for. you have too much time to brood. and you dwell on your husband's love for his molhtr to the point where jealousy has become an obsession with you.

Your husband should be more willing to help you overcome the trouble than to spend so much time at his mother's. He should at least come home to you directly from work. and try to cheer you up until your health improves to the point where you have a more whole- some outlook on life.

If neither you nor your doctor can convince him that he nwes a duty to you. perhaps the best solution would be I temporary separ- atlon.

Fall - Dawson Wedding

The' United Church at Albany. P.E.I. was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Saturday, July nth at 7 oiclock P.M. when Doris Jean, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Dawson became the bride of Earl Rand Fall. son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Clark Fall. Crapaud. RE. I.

The church was very tastefully decorated for the occasion by friends of the bride with assorted summer flowers. .

The ceremony was performed by the pastor. Rev. W. Burton Crowe.

The bride entered the church on the arm of her father. who gave her in marriage to the strains of the Wedding March played by Mrs. Burton Crowe. The bride was a pic- ture of youthful loveliness in a floor length gown of white satin with an overskirt of nylon mar- quisette with insets of chantilly lace and a fitted bodice of chantilly lace with a yoke of nylon marquisette, the sleeves of chantilly lace coming to a point over her hands. She wore a finger-tip veil of embroidered tulle illusion held in place by I .tiara of seed pearls and carried a cascade of red sweetheart roses.

The bride's sister. Mrs. Vernon Webster as matron of honour. was gowned in yellow taffeta with matching headdress. while Mrs. Gordon Calms. sister of the groom, as bridesmaid. was gbwned in Q"- chld taffeta with matching head- dress. The bride was also attended by her little niece, Miss Velma Web- ster, as flower girl. The attendants carried bouquets of mixed flowers while the flower girl carried fl bas- kbt of red roses.

The groom was attended by his brotherin-law. Mr. Willis Judson while the ushers were Messrs Lloyd Fall and Paul Dawson.

Mrs. Dawson wore for her daugh- ter's wedding a gown of navy sheer with white accessories and a cor- sage of pink roses. Mrs. Fall. moth- er of the groom. wore a gown of navy triple sheer with white ac- cessories and a corsage of pink roses.

During the signing of the register Mr. Norman MacDonald sang very effectively. "I'll Walk Beside You."

Following the ceremony I recep- tion was held at the bride's home and a buffet luncheon was served to about fifty guests.

The dining room was beautifully decorated with pink and white streamers and white wedding bells. Tea was poured by Mrs Wyman Birch and Mrs. Joseph Veale. aunts of the bride, while lunch was serv- ed by the Misses Anna Veaie, Annie Birch. Esther Veale. Joan Craig. Gladys Norring. Mrs. Peter Nichol- son and Mrs. Paul Dawson.

The bride's table was centered with a three tier wedding cakg top- ped with I miniature bride Ind groom and flanked with tail white tapers. A toast was proposed to the bride by Rev. Mr. Crowe and very fittlngly responded to by the groom. Following the reception the hap- py couple left amid showers of con- fetti and good wishes on a honey- moon through the Maritimes. For
