''Hatless Craze"
Is Bad for Eyes
Specialist Says

President Perry, speaking before
the annual convention Of North Caro-
lima State Optometric Society in Dur
nam yesterday, placed the stamp OF
disapproval on the "hatless craze" de-
claring that it may be good for the
hair, but it is definitely bad for the
eyes," Summer heat was pointed out
by him as being the hardest season OF
the year for eyes because of the heat
and glare. He further voiced the
opinion that golf, tennis and many
other pleasures requiring the eyes and
involving the open air and sunshine
are not good for the eyes A tendency
to squint and a crop of fine wrinkles
are visible results of playing in the
sun without properly shading the eyes
and DR.. Perry said "the off the face
hats for women have worn for several
seasons are a serious menace to good
vision"
