PRIZE IS OFVEItED liPOR POTATO DES/ON' Usually the every day task of the chef de cuisine, Canadians in all WalleS of life, are going to be given the op- portunity of glorifying that important item of our daily diet-the potato. In an effort to stimulate the mark- eting of even better potatoes and, at the same time, stress the importance of the part the tuber plays in national economy, the Canadian potato growers are cffering a cash prize for a design which will be incorporated in a trophy to be awarded at the Royal Winter Fair, Sponsors of the competition are anx- ious to have the design represent the value of the potato crop; its import- ance to the health and economic wel- fare of the people, as well as the de- pendence of the potato crop on scien- tific farm procedures. With the potato, in itself lacking the glamor of a sheaf of wheat or a cornucopia of brilliantly colored fruit, some difficulties may be encountered in design. The potato growers are con- fident however, that someone will come up with an idea that will stress the importance and characteristics of the crop. The Committee in charge of the competition is offering a prize of $50 for the winning design, All entries should be addressed to: The Secretary, Canadian Horticultural Council, 219 Queen Street, Ottawa. All entries must be postmarked net later than April 30th., 1953. N I a a I V U N a • N U Taxpayers may make payments on account of 1953 taxes up to 80 per cent of 1952 taxes.

NOW TREAT CROSSED EVES AS SOON AS REQOONIZVB Advice to parents cif et cross-eyed child used to be to let it ge for awhile and if the condition has not corrected itself by the age of 10 or 12, then have something done about it. Today the idea is to start treatment as soon as the crossed eye is noted. Dr. Lloyd Morgan, director of oph- thalmology, Hospital for Sick Child- ren, Toronto, says that the older idea did result in a few eases correcting themselves without surgery; but in far more cases the delay produced a "Gross-eyed complex" and the turned eye became partially blind. "If the eye will not straighten with the use of glasses, the operation can be done any time after a year of age and most certainly should be done be- fore school age is reached," writes Dr. Morgan in the latest issue of HEALTH, magazine of the Health League of Canada, "If the eyes are straightened early in life and used together, there is a much better chance of developing good vision in both eyes." The operation to straighten a turn- ed eye is a delicate one, he adds; but it is not hard on the child. It is done under general anaesthetic and with modern methods there is little danger connected with it. The patient is us- ually allowed to go home the second day following the operation without a dressing on either eye, "The sooner a child uses lisiuOF togethee, the more chance they .fat` developing' goad vieion," addle Ow Vfle specialist, "If treattnent for .eltePeeeled eyes has net been started etelL4 Vae., child is four or five years aide .gooel, results are More difficult to .10#4147'" FREAK 5-FOOTED WO BORN ON CULROSS FARO Mr. Thomas Stewart of the 14tlee=0- eeeelon of Oterose, has a Mere Iggiet on hie farm that is considered Ar* in hog-land, The grunter boasts the usual fee= legs but possesses a fifth foot.
