TAKE CARE OF
YOUR EYES
The next time Johnny comes
home crying, “Mom, I got some-
thing in my eye!”—here’s what
you should do:
Lift the upper lid, and pull it
down over the lower lid. This
will give the tears a chance to
wash out thp offending speck.
Tears are nature’s own eyewash.
But if the speck doesn’t come
out, wish the eye with drops of
luke warm tap water, using an
eye dropper. While doing this,
be sure to hold Johnny’s head
so the water will run away from
his nose, toward the side.
If this doesn’t dislodge the
speck, put a light bandage over
the hurt eye to prevent Johnny
from rubbing it. Then take him
to a physician or an eye clinic.
Keep this in mind: Never try
to rub a speck from the eye. It
can cause an infection that may
scar the cornea, resulting in par-
tial loss of sight.
Ever hear someone say, “May
eyes are simply worn out!”?
That’s nothing but a figure of
speech. You cannot “wear out”
healthy eyes by overuse.
If your eyes feel strained the
trouble may be eye or other dis-
ease, a need of glasses or im-
properly fitted glasses, or fail-'
ure to heed the rules of good
lighting.
Under the right conditions
you should be able to use your
eyes as much as you want to
without “wearing them out.”
They function with greatest'
ease and comfort when you sit
erect, with your work arranged
at 45 to 70 degrees from the hor
izontal. Tilt-top desks or book
easels are best for children be-
cause reading material can be
kept at the most comfortable
eye focus.
Read in bed if you like, so
long as you obey the rules of
good lighting and good posture.
Never read in sunlight, even
when your book is shaded.
Watching television won’t
hurt your eyes provided the pic-
ture is clear and steady and
there is enough light in the
room to prevent too great a con-
trast with the screen. Don’t sit
off center when watching TV
and don’t sit too close.
Protect your eyes from long
expsure to sunlight, but don’t
wear sunglasses merely to be
Hollywoodish. Never wear them
at night, especialy while driving.
They reduce your vision to the
point where you cannot disting-
uish dark objects.
Close work calls for eye mus-
cles to work overtime. You can
give them the rest they need by
closing them for a moment from
time to time as you read or do
close work. Looking off into the
distance occasionally will help.
Persistant eye fatigue may in-
dicate you need an eye examina-
tion, in spite of having good dis-
tance vision. (A weekly feature
from the Health Education Di-
vision, Texas State Department
of Health.)

ROBERTS
DON'T LET FEAR GET A HEAD START
A minister was driving along
the highway on a cold, rainy
night, headed for Colorado. He
was alone in the car. Wheeling
down the road, he became lost
in thought.
“Suddenly,’' he related later,
“I was engulfed in the thickest
fog that I have ever seen. It
seemed as if my car were
literally swallowed up, and
as if I were just hanging there
in the midst of nothing. I
couldn’t see a foot ahead of
my headlights.
“Fear gripped my heart. I
broke out into a cold sweat, and
my heart began to pound. My
eyes fell instinctively to the
gasoline gauge. Almost empty!
Fear was getting the best of.
me. Suddenly I began to panic.
I jammed on the brakes and
stopped the car right in the
middle of the highway. I
couldn’t see to drive, not even
to pull over to the side of the
road.
“Fear began to magnify it-
self. What would I do? Each
new fear seemed to bring an
onrush of other fears.
"Then the presence of God
manifested Himself. Immedi-
ately a Scripture came to my
mind: ’Fear not, for I am with
thee.’ Then I recalled the
Psalmist’s words, 'I will lift
up mine eyes unto the hills
from whence cometh my help.’
And as I glanced up instinc-
tively, I caught a glimpse of
the moon, hanging low over
the distant mountains. The fog
lifted as suddenly as it had
overwhelmed me!
"I started the car. And just
over the next hill I found a
service station. I encountered
no more fog that night!”
In his moment of difficulty
the minister said that he began
to do just what he had urged
his own chinch members never
to do. He let fear get a head
start
“That was a good lesson for
me,” he said. "I knew I had
to begin practicing what I had
preached. I believe God threw
that fog at me to test my faith,
to show me how important it
is to trust in Him first!”
Friend, the thing for you to
do is to nip fear in the bud be-
fore it gets a chance to bloom.
Stop fear before it gets a head
start on you. If you let fear get
ahead, then you’re sunk be-
cause fear will multiply upon
fear, to the point that you will
actually panic.
Don’t let fear get a head
start on youl Trust in God to
see you through any difficulty,
no matter what it is. He can.
He will. But you must give Him
the chance to help.
