TO DISCOVER DEFECT
in EYES OF CHILDREN
Eye-Sight Conservation Day Will Be
Observed in Schools to Find
Whose Vision is Defective

Every school in North Carolina
will be asked to join in establishing
the new semi-annual custom of Eve
Sight Conservation Day. planned as
a universal and permanent contribu-
tion to the American system of edu-
cation.
The Eye Sight Conservation Coun-
cl is enlisting the assistance of COM
missioners OF education in every state
and of superintendents in every coun-
ty and school district. North Carolina
school officials have been provided
with complete Eye Sight Conserva-
tion Day program. To execute this
plan Z. c. Brooks of Raleigh, state
superintendent of public instruction,
and county superintendents will CO.
operate in the Eye Sight Conserva-
tlon Day movement, including j. M.
Matthews, Mecklenburg county; F. P.
Hall, CASTOR county; J. B. Robertson,
Cabarrus county, George E. Long of
Catawba county; j. Y. Erving, Cleve-
I land county; L. b. Beam, Lincoln
county; Ray Funderburk, Union coun-
ty; Charles A. Reap, Stanly county;
j. S. Edwards, Montgomery county;
r. w. Allen, Anson county; L. J. Bell,
Richmond county; and A. B. Cameron,
Moore county.
Local superintendents in these coun-
ties will also aid in the movement, in
clud ing H. P. Harding of Charlotte,
William p. Grier, Gastonia; A. S.
Webb, Concord; R. W. Carver, Hick-
ory; NJ. S. Beam, Newton; H. c. Sisk,

Monroe; J. H. McIver, Albemarle; C.
l.. Gates, Wadesboro; C. s. Warren,
Hamlet; L. |. Bell, Rockingham, and
| @. E. league Of Sanford.
"The object of an Eye Sight Conser-
vation Day in schools is to discover the
fact that child has a defect of vision
or symptoms of defect rather than
to determine the degree of deficiency"
it is stated in the suggested program
which the Eye Sight Conservation
Council is taking up with the North
Carolina Officials"
Secretary of Labor Davis, in a
statement issued by the Eye Conser-
vation Council, asserts that care of
the eyes is a national duty.
In my earlier life as a workman
/ and in the course of my duties as
Secretary of Labor, | have come to
know something of the problem before
the Eye Sight Conservation Council,
particularly in its relation to men and
women in industry says Secretary
Davis. 'It is a problem in human SER
vice which in its solution will mean
much to the whole service of America
in life, economic prosperity and hap
piness.
Il march with the council in it's
work among children. | am convinced
that mankind owes no higher duty to
society and to God than service to
childhood, and that whatever we may
be able to do to aid the citizens of
the future will earn a great reward"

SECREST AND BIVENS
OPPOSE ROAD CHANGE
Two Of Present Commissioners as
Well as Ex-Commissioner Hemby
Give Reasons

Another interesting development
has occurred in the controversy in re-
gard to having the Union county
road law changed. An article signed
by Mr.. A. A. Secrest, w. ID. Bivens,
present county commissioners, as well
as ex-commissioner W. l.. Hemby. dis
claiming any interest in the propos-
ed change in the law. The article fol-
lows:
Eve. the undersigned county CON-
missioners, desire it to be known
through the press that We are neith-
er parties to nor in sympathy with
the petition that is being circulated
asking that the senator and repres-
entative of this county pass a law
abolishing the road commission and
putting road business into the hands
of the county commissioners.
On the contrary it is our belief
that road matters and other county
affairs should be kept separate and
distinct, as the people have hereto
fore indicated by their votes. Since
the present county commissioners all
reside in Monroe township, it would
Dt W tIt OlIltl
townships for Monroe township to
take complete charge of all adminis-
trative affairs of the county. Under
the present system each road cleo
torate knows the condition of roads
in his particular township and re-
ports same to the road commission,
thus keeping them thoroughly in
touch with roads throughout the
county, whereas the present county
commissioners, all residing in Mon
roe township, could hardly be expect
ed to know all road conditions in out
lying townships. Further, We do not
believe that any economy to the coun-
ty would result from the proposed
change, as the present road commits
sion is as capable of managing road
affairs of the county as the county
commissioners and have indicated
their intention of curtailing expenses
now that most of the bond money
has been expended. We also wish to
deny the report that the county COM
missioners and road commissioners
have been out of harmony or that
there has been any conflict of author
ity. The relations between the two
bodies have been altogether cordial
and pleasant and they have worked
III harmony and cooperation hereto
fore and hope and expect to do SO
in the future.
This the 14th day of Dec, 1922.

In Memory of Mrs. Jane Fowler

On December at 2 o'clock the
death angel entered our humble home
and called loved one to 20. She
followed sweetly without fear to that
land where she will never grow old
and where no falling leaves are fad
ing. Her life on earth was short but
pure as snow, and as she trod up the
heavenly road her smiling face and
glad heart helped much to bear the
burden. As priceless reward she is
safe on the other shore to dwell for
ever in the skies to be no more brr-
dened with pain and sorrow. We Of
ten stop to wonder why our wife and
mother was taken away, We are look
ing forward with delight to that
sweet day when we will meet her in
the sky.-Husband and Children.

GRAND JURY To.

MAY HAVE BUT 16
Investigation May Proceed
With That Number If
More Cannot Be Secured
Judge Stanford

Grand jury investigation of the Ku
Klux klan in Maricopa county can
proceed with a minimum of 16 grand
jurors if the court finds it impos-
sible to get more from the two panel
drawings, Judge r. c. Stanford, who
summoned the jury, said yesterday.
1t has been understood heretofore
that the Arizona statutes fix the
minimum number of grand jurors at
Is, and the maximum at 21, but this
impression is erroneous, Judge Stan
ford announced. This state fixes the
minimum at 16 and the maximum at
21, he declared.
With this understanding, the court
will proceed with drafting of a grand
jury Monday morning, confident that
this formality can be disposed of
early in the day. Judge Stanford
said that he was hopeful that the
maximum number of grand jurors
could be sworn, but said that the
work would proceed with a lesser
number, if need be.
Court attaches expressed conf
dence yesterday that the grand jury
would begin actual deliberations on
Monday. Tentative grand jurors
from the two panel drawings will re-

also will be on hand Monday, it is
expected.

These IL men will constitute the
grand jury, unless others are served
before opening of court tomorrow
morning or unless some of this num-
ber are disqualified, in which event
additional names will be drawn.
Herman LekowitZ, appointed spe-
cial representative of the county at
torney's office, will assume direction
of the grand jury when it is sworn.
County Attorney r. e. L. Shepherd
and his assistants, C. f. Gerard and
Paul G. McIver, also will assist in the
Investigations.
Regarding the grand jury probe of
Khan activities, Mr.. Lewkowitz yes
terday issued the following state
ment:
"The investigation win be as thor
ough as the law will provide for the
extensive securing of all information
which might assist in the inquiry.
Every detail will be given proper
consideration, and as far as / am con-
cerned, the inquiry will be handled

endeavor to list ex-officers of all
branches of the service in or near
Phoenix.
A bulletin enclosed with these let
ters says in part:
The military policy of the United
States is embodied in the national
defense act of 1920. This act is in
tended to reduce the burden of the
taxpayer and at the same time pro-
vide adequate protection in case of a
national emergency and expresses the
views of military men throughout
the country, including the great mass
of citizen soldiers who fought in the
world war. 1t perpetuates the his
toric organization of the American
army that saved Europe and utilizes
their traditions and personnel as the
foundation upon which to build fu-
ture organizations of similar char
acter. 1t provides for their orderly
mobilization and training in their re-
