Children Benefitted By Eye Clinics The State Commission for the blind, in cooperation with the county Welfare and Health De partments conducted an eye ex amination clinic for indigent school children Monday and Tues day. with headquarters in the Baptist church. Forty-two children were ex amined by the two doctors and a nurse from the commission. Of this group, examinations showed that 38 were in need of glasses; a few were in such bad condition that medical and surgical treat ment were recommended before glasses could be used. It was found that one third of the children examined had too poor vision to continue normal school work. Out of 27 examined Mon day, 14 were grade repeaters, and 3 had repeated more than one grade. In cases where the children could not afford to pay for glasses, furnished at cost by the commis sion, some way must be found by the local welfare department to collect enough money from local clubs, private subscribers, etc., to enable the children to receive their glasses, as no funds are on hand for this purpose. Superintendent of Schools Fred Hobson reports that students pro vided with glasses in the former clinic here have shown a marked improvement in their school work. HITLER PRAISES QUICK WORK OF NAZI JOLDBS Success Said t» Have Ex ceeded Expectations ALLIES HARD PRESSED Germans No Longer Are De pendent on Supplies from the Sea and Air DRIVE IS CONTINUED Berlin, April 30—The German high command tonight stamped the nazi conquest of Norway as virtually won with the linking of Oslo and Trondheim by green grey columns, the capture of strategic Dombas in between, and control of the main rail line from the Norwegian capital to the great west coast port. Adolf Hitler, himself, sent a special order of the day to the German troops in Norway, prais ing them for their tremendous 20-day campaign and its result: The smashing of an allied pincers movement aimed at cutting off Trondheim by threats from south and north. The achievements announced today by the high command here said in authorized quarters to have exceeded the fondest ex pectations of German military authorities in view of the diffi culties of the campaign. Now that Trondheim is secured and the German troops there no longer are dependent of supplies from sea and air, inspired sources say no time will be lost in starting a concentric attack to sweep the allied troops from their foothold on the stony midriff of Norway, With the announced capture of Dombas, railway junction which connects with the allied landing point of Andaisnes, south of TVnnriheim tha O nvr_,_;_ forces in that sector are being “pursued”, it was stated. For sev eral days there has teen heavy fighting between allies and Ger mans at the gates of Dombas. First of all today the high com mand disclosed that a motorized German force which climbed over 3.000-foot mountain trails, north ward from Tynset, had reached the Trondheim-Dombas-Hamar Oslo railway, southwest of Storen, and there met a southbound force from Trondheim. The officers of these two forces shook hands solemnly. (Presum ably the southbound force had fought its way through allied units at Storen, 35 miles south of Trondheim.> Then came word that the main German column, fighting its way through the Gubrands valley from the south, had occupied Dombas, which is 100 miles south of Trond heim.
