Camera Club Letters
To Germans Urged

Camera clubs in this country are
being given an opportunity to par
ticipate in an overseas project de-
signed to assist the program Of the
American occupation forces IN
Germany. Through some 800 Ger
man Youth Activities centers IN
the American zone, to which some
100000 young Germans come each
month for work and recreation,
the program hopes to let them
know more about the American
way Of life by exchange Of in
formation.
Many Germans are interested
and highly skilled in photography
and a request recently came from
GYA headquarters asking Amer
ican camera clubs to write letters
telling Of their activities and in
teresting developments in photo
graphy. It recommended. too, the
exchange Of pictures. Replies to
such exchanges may bring helpful
suggestions to camera enthusiasts
in this country, 1t was pointed out.

Eastman

e. November 8 is q date that will
long be remembered as a mile
stone in the history Of the growth
and development Of photography
as an art and science. The day
will remain Of particular signifl-
canoe to millions Of photographers
throughout the world. both anna
teur and professional. for the
opening of the George Eastman
House in Rochester, N. Y, as q liv-
ing memorial to George Eastman,
a man who undoubtedly did more
than any other to simplify and
develop photography.
Eastman House, former home
Of the famed American inventor,
technologist and executive. has
been planned as a public educa-
tional institute to further the
knowledge Of photography s
means, accomplishments and po-
tentialities in every field.
It is a modern museum designed
to serve now and in years to come
as q national and international
center for the Photographic world.
It stands well back from the
street, with gracefully curving
walks and driveways leading up
to the impressively columned en-
trance. Spacious lawns. magnifl-
cent old trees and Uncovered
walls give a quiet dignity to the
house, which. before recent alter
ations, contained 81 rooms. IL
baths and 8 f1replaces.
Most of the permanent displays
are located on the first and Sec
ond floors Of this building. The
contemporary exhibit and tempo
rary special exhibits are located
In connected buildings behind the
main house. A motion picture
theater has been planned and.
when constructed, will be located
to the rear of the main edifice.
Thus George Eastman House
has become an educational focps
in the field which was 80 greatly
advanced by the genius Of the
man whose name 1t honors, by
placing on exhibit the technologi-
cal developments and the appli-
cations Of photography both in

Consequently there is freedom

check for side vision, night sight
and sensitivity to headlight dazzle,
as well as the customary test for
seeing directly ahead.
They recommend that people
who can see little or nothing at
night be restricted to daylight
driving. Those with only moderate
night vision should be urged to
drive at reduced speeds and with
extra caution.
Slew Down
l UNNEL vision is incurable. and
extreme cases ought to be denied
an operators permit. But spe-
cialists agree that drivers with
milder forms can quite easily
compensate for their difficulty.
The prescription: slower speeds
and especial alertness; switching
eyesto left and right, particularly
at intersections and pedestrian
crossings, and sharp observation
of traffic up ahead 50 that possible
hazards can be anticipated.
Researcher Edwin D. Fletcher
tells how education of this sort
achieved astounding success with
20 one-eyed drivers in California,
all of whom had killed or injured
others in three or more accidents.
In a three-year period following
Fletcher's safety course. only one
of the group had become involved
in another smash-up.
As DR.. Theodore Conklin. presi-
dent of the New York Optometric
Association, puts it: Right now
far too many drivers with '25-
m.p.h. eyes are burning up the
concrete at so m.p.h. and faster.
Our plan is to draw the oper-
ator's attention to flaws in his
eyesight. then urge him to drive
within his visual bounds.
That way we can help him
avoid accidents - and save count
less lives" The End

the best when met by headlights.
Some time ago one such weak
eyed driver crashed into the side
of a halted freight train at a Chi
cago grade crossing; a few seconds
earlier he'd been blinded by the
dimmed headlights of an oncom-
ing truck. Months later, after his
discharge from the hospital, he
side-swiped another car, mounted
the sidewalk and rammed a brick
wall. This time, threatened with
the loss of his license, he agreed to
a test. His glare-resistance score:
One out of a possible high
of 10!
How many American drivers
are easily glare-blinded? No one
really knows. But q painstaking
survey by the California De-
partment Of Motor Vehicles
makes the picture look black.
After glare-testing 500 good and
bad drivers. the Department an
nounced that seven times as many
accident-repeaters failed to pass as
those with spotless records; and
estimated that upwards of l,0OO,-
600 California drivers have sub

THREE MILLION BLIND" DRIVERS

There's simple parlor test for
roughly measuring your side vision.
Get a friend to hold a pencil up
night next to your ear, then have
him move it forward until. while
looking straight ahead, you glimpse
1t out of the corner of your eye.
Your score is perfect if the pencil
is exactly level with your eye; but
if it doesn't enter your field of
vision until farther forward, you
should see an eye doctor. Remem-
Der. though. that this is not an
adequate side-vision test.
Danger At Night
YOUR chances of meeting death
on the highway go up sharply at
night. According to the National
Safety Council, two out of three
fatal accidents occur after sun
down, even though only about one
third of Americas automobiles
are running. The most widely
publicized reasons: drunkenness,
falling asleep at the wheel and
just plain reckless driving.
But take the Los Angeles driver
neither drunk. sleepy nor reck-
less - whose big sedan smacked
into the back of a parked fruit
truck on the L,A.-San Diego high
way one night last summer. The
unfortunate truck driver, who was
inspecting a blown tire at the
moment of impact, was crushed
to death. Witnesses testified that
the rear of the truck was virtually
festooned with bright red lights
and ref1ectors. Why hadn't the
driver of the sedan seen them? A
simple test provided the answer:
He was a case Of almost 100 per
cent night blindness; even with
headlights he could make out
the road only dimly.
= Night blindness is another Wis
uaf infirmity which in the U.S.A.
is no bar to getting a drivers
license. No state troubles to check
for it, although few will test you
after youv had several nocturnal
accidents. In Massachusetts, an in
vestigation of dusk-to-daw high
way catastrophes produced this
amazing result: 81 per cent of the
drivers involved were night blind
ness sufferers. Pennsylvania, in a
like study. found 48 per cent
seriously defective in night vision.
They Drive Dli.A
MOST drivers are momentarily
dazzled by the headlights of on
coming cars; but some habitually
drive blind" for hundreds of feet
before their eyes recover from the
glare. These headlight blinded
drivers miss curves in the road,
strike down unwary pedestrians,
pile up in the rear of slower-mov-
ing vehicles. and not infrequently
end up in a bloody, head-on dis
aster. Sometimes this may be the

ONLY STREAM In
NORTHWEST OHIO
NAMED FOR TEST
Final Decision on Proposal Will
be Announced in
January
Few Restrictions Would Apply
Under New Code Now Being
Tried

Riley creek and its tributaries in
in Allen and Putnam counties likely
will be opened next year for liber-
allied fishing under a new state pro-
gram under which very few fishing
restrictions will apply.
The stream which rises east of
town, passes through Bluffton and is
joined here by Little Riley creek, is
the only one in Northwestern Ohio
recommended by the state council
for a trial under the liberalized fish
ing program.
Final action on the matter will be
made in January.
If the recommendation is approved
anglers in the Riley creek next year
would not have to observe seasonal
legal length or bag limit restric-
tions next year.
Ohio's hberalized fishing program
has been conducted since 1945, and
next year it is proposed that all
state lakes be relieved from fishing
restrictions.
According to records to date, fish
management officials say that effect
of fishing pressure under the liberal.
lied programs have little if any eff,
feet on existing fish populations
compared to natural reproduction in
lakes and streams.
