THE BUND AND THE MUTILATED
By Dr. ESTHER LOVEJOY
IN the years to come this war will prove a blessing to the
blind. A new world is being evolved Nature has at least
one extraordinary sense in reserve for those who lose any
of the five ordinary senses. The blind feel things that are not
within reach. They are conscious of vibrations that are not
percept ible to seeing men.
The sightless learn to read very quickly by the Braille
method. It is interesting to watch the face of a blind man
as his fingers pass over the upraised dots ot a Braille book
and his mind perceives the mysteries recorded there tor him
They have special stenographic machines and special print
ing presses. Books and magazines are translated into' the
written language ot the sightless.
Men blinded in battle are acquiring great skill in the
textile arts, as moulders, and in other industries where a
highly developed sense of touch is essential to good work
The higher type of blind men have great personal
charm. Their souls seem nearer the surface. They are pe
culiarly beloved people, and their clairvoyance makes them
conscious of the kindness and affection with which they are
regarded. Naturally they react to it. Perhaps that is why
they usually seem so happy and cheerful
Unfortunately there are forms of mutilation which
have the opposite effect. When a man knows that he is re
pulsive to every man, woman and child who looks upon him;
when he shrinks from the reflection of his own disfigured
face in the mirror, and shudders at the strange sound of his
own voice* he wants to die.
A great deal is being done for these mutilated men.
They are being refitted with arms and legs. Plastic surgery
is doing its part, too, in the way of restoring palates, teeth
and facial contour, and the American Red Cross in Paris is
attempting to make life more livable for them by providing
masks which restore their original features. They will be
useful members of society, but the,soul of man craves more
than service. Life and liberty are precious possessions, but
the pursuit of happiness is the dearest right of man. We are
all alike. We want to go through life with the sweet illusion
that the blue bird of happiness is just within reach, and this
illusion is almost impossible to the disfigured man.
It is the Sacred duty of all those who have been bene
fited by their sacrifice to leave nothing undone to restore
their usefulness; to employ every art to increase their men
tal and physical powers and the charm of personalities, to
the end that their lives may be enriched rather than impov
erished by the fortunes of war.

[plan drainage district
Land owners in the Oil
Trough bottom are planning an
extensive drainage project. It
is planned to dig a canal from
near the head of Oil Truogh
bottom to connect White River
with Depart ee Creek and
straighten the channel. The
total length of the canal would
be about 18 miles, and it would
not only drain many acres of
rich land west of White river
but it would carry off the flood
waters of the upper White riv
er.

Buy War Savings Stamps
and help win the war
LENDING and
GIVING
--
It will bo well for our
people to get a correct line on
ithe various calls that are!
! being, and will be.made on our,
i purses before this titantic
struggle is iought to a finish.
We must get the distinction
between giving and lending.
In the first place we might j
state that our government has
not asked and will not ask j
for one cent of gift money. The ’
extent of its call is for loans— j
and for loans on which it pur
poses to pay fair rates of inter
est. The man or woman who ;
buys government bonds doesj
NOT sacrifice for the cause, in i
the sense in whish we usually
employ the word. \t the most,
his action entails but a temper- |
ary inconvenience, in diverting
his means to different chan-1
nels from those in which he is j
accustomed to employ them. ;
In the end he has the full |
worth of his money in the
soundest securities on earth—
the promises of the U. S. Gov
ernment to pay.
But there are calls being j
made that entail direct giving* j
The activities of the Red Cross
and the Y. M. C. A. are for
money from which there will!
be no financial return. Yet
these calls must oe met, and |
met fully and cheerfully.
Why should we support the-1
se great causes? Because they |
constitute the great humaniz
ing agencies in the grim ma
chinery of war. Their work 1
is to remedy the physical hurt j
and undo the moral hurt that
must enevitably result from
war.
An army without the
Red Cross would be unthink
able in this humantarian twen-1
tieth century. The horrors of
war, at its best, are great, but
without the ministrations of
the Red Cross our armies could
not endure
Likewise without the civiliz
ing influences of the religious
and social organizations the
moral of our troops would -
ler deeply. Their minds must
be diverted from the grim du
ties of slaughter, and they be i
brought always to see behind I
the dark clouds of war, the
silver lining embodied in the
ideal peace conditions for
which thev contend.
It doesn’t necessarily require j
great patriotism to buy govern-1
ment bonds. The support of |
these companion agencies must |
come from the great, generous
hearts of our people.
And it is coming in a never
ending stream.
