The Commissioners will hold a
public hearing at 10 am. tomor-
row on the Board of Optometry's
proposal to tighten the educa-
tional standards under the law
regulating the practice of optom-
etry here.
Proposed changes require appliA
Icants to meet these requirements:

Ioptometry maintaining a course in
the field of not less than i've
years
2. Examination in the theory
and practice OF orthoptics and
visual training" and the theory
and practice Of contact lens 1T
tingS."
At present, the law requires
graduation from q school Of OPP
tometry in good standing which
maintains a course Of not less than
II 900 hours, which is the equiva-
lent Of years course.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Hubert Pair said that schools OF
Eoptometry now generally require
not less than five years study.
These courses take in the two pro-
posed new subject requirements.
Mr.. Pair said the Districts op-
Itometry law is considered among
the weakest in the country. Long
sought legislation is pending in
Congress to strengthen the statu-
tory provisions, including a strike
lat false and misleading" adver-
tising.
The Optometry Board, however,
has the power to change the edu-
cational standards, with the ap-

Comedian Born Man
Authority on Va. History

RICHMOND, Va. Feb. 9. IAN
P)-- Sam Robinson, 48-year-old
Canadian-born Negro who once
studied for a year at the Univer-
sity of Toronto, is considered by
many persons who should know as
an authority on the early history
of Virginia-or the Old Domini-
on, as it is known by native re-
sidents of the state.
Fol seven months out of a year,
Robinson serves as guide for the
Association for the Preservation
of Virginia Antiquities on James
town Island and the remainder of
the time, doubles as radio repair
man andogeneral handyman.
According to Miss Ellen Bagby,
Jamestown chairman of the APP
VA, Robinson's knowledge Of early
Virginia is authentic to the last
detail. eve ourselves ask him any
dates we ARE doubtful about"
Robinson, who is the only guide
on the gAPVA jamestown proper
ty, got his start in a roundabout
way. He had come to the United
States as a handy-man for street
carnivals. One of the carnivals
came to Richmond and Robinson
liked the city so much that he re-
manned on after the carnival had
left.
One day, Miss Bagby hired him
to haul some coal for her. Later
she engaged him as a servant in
her town. An opportunity arose
for a guide to escort tourists in
and around Jamestown and point
out some of the old landmarks.
Robinson took the job and proved
such a success that he has kept
the post ever since.
Initially he learned about early

Virginia through pamphlets given
him by Miss Bagby. He became so
interested that he began digging
up books and other material about
the city and state. He estimates
that he has read 10 or 20 histories
and studied quite a few family
trees.
Among the many tourists he has
shepherded about Jamestown was
the late President Roosevelt, who
toured the island in an automobile.
Last April, a story and a picture
of Robinson was featured by the
Readers Digest.
On several occasions, he has re-
ceived letters from prominent per-
sons requesting data about some
historical event in jamestown. On
one occasion, he received a letter
from a congressional committee
asking information about the Ben
jamin Harrison who was buried in
the churchyard. Robinson answer
ed the letter himself, and ap-
parently satisfied the inqairers.

son opened and called attention
10 an association regulation pro-
nibiting such procedure.
Sales Supervisor w. Horace
Carter Of the Tabor City market
this week said. This is exactly
the sort of thing that we have
hoped Mr.. Royster would clamp
down on. All last season we re-
ported in radio and press the
enact market average Which the
Tabor City market had. We at
no time exaggerated those fig
Ures. We have followed the same
practice this season. We have
those exact figures
even though it consistently made
the Tabor market appear lower
IL its average in the daily news
paper reports. We know in
Tabor City that year after year
we are among the highest in
average in the entire market and
have led the belt four times in
the last seven years.
I'VE have never believed that
a policy of reporting erroneous
averages would get any market
and intend to stick
with the truth and hope that
other markets will do likewise.
But regardless Of what other
markets do, we intend to con-
tinue to reporting the true fig
ures," Carter said.

Primer Writes
To Parents

C. H. Primer, principal of the
Tabor City School, this week
wrote the following letter for
publication in the Tribune.
There was no change in age OF
entrance by the last Legislature
"A child must be six years old
by October LIST to enroll in school.
A birth certificate will be re-
ouired for all children entering
the first grade for the first time
and pupil will not be admitted to
class without it. This will avoid
confusion and delay. All parents
having children entering school
for the first time, should get busy
and secure birth certificate be-
fore school opens, Wednesday,
August 20. If you do not have
one, and your child was born in
North Carolina you can usually
get it from the Register of Deeds,
Mr.. Leo Fisher, in Whiteville.
Please do not try to change the
date by using clorox or some
thing of a similar nature, because
it will give you away.
Also please do not ask for your
child to be placed in any particu
l,r room. All names are drawn,
making it fair to everyone.
We are looking forward to a
fine year with added facilities.
We shall all need to work togeth
er for the best interest OF our
children and our community just
as we have in years gone by.
