17. son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward McKenzie. Jeddo, may lose the sight of his left eye as the result of an accident Sunday on the McKenzie farm when a piece of a .22 caliber cartridge penetrated the eyelid and lodged in the eye.

He is in Port Huron General hospital. McKenzie told his attending that he put the cartridge 01T 'a boulder and discharged it by striking it with a rock. A fragment of the bullet cap struck him in the eye when it exploded. The attending physician said that the fragment has not yet been removed and that it is impossible to determine if the boy will lose his sight in the eye. Melvin Dean, 63, Richmond, shot off the tip of his right thumb and suffered a head cut Sunday afternoon in an accdient on the farm NEEDLEPOINT its so eass AND jttfzpmfuse TO citizens said they would want the President to decide whether or not war should be declared, rather than Congress, as the Constitution specifies.

Other indications of the same trend, fie said, are the fact that Congress has functioned as a "rubber stamp" in passing certain legislation, and hundreds of citizens are branding as pro-Nazi, pro-Fascist or Fifth Columnist anyone who examines all sides of a controversy involving international relations. America, he asserted, is traveling a slippery road because "we live in an age when the individual is considered subservient to the state, the doctrine which prevails in citizenship." He warned his listeners against being swayed by so-called urgencies when drastic acts are justified on the grounds of emergency. "The German people were swayed by an economic urgency," he pointed out, and "in order to gain economic security, gave up their political freedom." Calling attention to the dangers of mass thinking, of the processes of mob psychology, he pleaded, "Let's not be guilty of the same error we made in the last World war of thinking we were 'making the world safe for Let us since Europeans do not want our theories of government let us try to make democracy safe for America. Let us realize that the people of any nation will get a no better or a no worse government than they deserve." Rev. E.

J. McCormick, pastor of St. Stephen Catholic church, will speak on "The Catholic Church and Social Change." as the next lecture, Nov. 17, in the K. of C.
