Eye Screening Program in Schools
Devised to Defect Trouble Early

If eye-defects were suspected,
a note was sent home to the par
ent, recommending that the child
be taken to a Doctor for more
thorough testing and to be fitted
with glasses if necessary.
The county health nurses visit
ed the homes of each child whose
parents received a note, to talk to
them about their child's eye
problems, and its possible bear
ing on the child's development.
In cases where the parents
could not afford remedial glasses,
the health board tries to furnish
the children with glasses, sup
piled through the Lions club.
"By this means, every child in
the county is assured of proper
diagnosis and treatment for eye
problems" DIR, Robert A. Vogel,
health director, says.
In past years, the eye screen
ing has not been as thorough as
is the present system he added.
Each child was only examined at
intervals of to 4 years. Under
the old system, eye problems
could develop and become a
handicap to the child before the
problem could be discovered.

the third.
Cardington outgained and out
played the Tigers most of the
way. They ran through and a.
round the Redwood line almost
at Will-at times.
Part of the Redwood showing,
however, was due to a couple of
bad breaks early in the game
which got them off to a bad start
and took a lot of the starch" out
of them, The Tigers lost the ball
on fumhles two of the first three
times they had it, enough to dis
courage most teams.
Blue, Austin and Fields had a
number of nice runs of Is to 25
yards, but the Tigers. attack was
inconsistent. Their passing, too,
was weak with only two COM
pletions. But it remained for a
Redwood player to provide the
evenings biggest thrill, an 85-
yard kickoff return for a touch
down following the final Card
ington score.
Two of Cardington's touch
downs were scored by Clark, on
a line-buck for two yards and the
other on a 49-yard screen pass.
Kelly tailed on an 18-yard end
run while Harris scored on a 15-
yard reverse. Henthorn place

The ever-improving pla C e.

Marysville a 10 victory over
Grove City in a Mid-Six league
contest Friday evening. 1t was
Marysville's fourth win this sea-
son and l4th in a row over three
seasons, and put the locals in
first place in the Mid-Six league
with two straight wins.
1t was a Pyrrhic victory for
the Monarchs, however, as they
had five players hurt, two suf-
ficiently severe to require hos
pitalization.
Jimmy DeGood, regular quar-
I-terback,. is lost to the team for
rest of the season with a broken
ankle. Jim (Bud) Hoffman may
not be able to play in the Hill
liards game this week as the re-
suit of severe muscular spasm"
in his back.
Unsportsmanlike Play
Both of these injuries were the
direct result of illegal playing
(clipping by the Grove City
team, which exhibited unSports-
manlike conduct and downright
dirty" playing throughout most
of the game.
The type of play which the
Greyhounds put on looked like
they had only one thing in mind;
to eliminate Marysville's best
players and win easily over the
second team.
Both Hoffman and DeGood
were taken to White Cross hos
pital, Bud between halves and
DeGood after the game, for
cheCk-ups. Jimmy's left leg was
put in a cast, and both boys were
brought home Saturday after
/ noon.
Other injuries to Marysville,
all of them less severe but no
less aggravating because they
were so needless, included:
