Pre-SchooI Clinics HeIp...
Good Eyesight Important
To The lst Grade Student

Thousands of Tar Heel children
will report to pre-school clinics
across the state during the next
two months to undergo a brief
physical checkup preparatory to
entering the first grade next Sep
tember.
Editors Note. The pre-schOOI
clinics already are in progress
in Lincolnt0n and Lincoln cOun-
ty schools.
Unfortunately, discloses t h e
North Carolina State Optometric
Society, these children will not
have the benefit of a through Wis
ual examination, which is so es-
Sential to the youngster about to
enter the classroom for the first
time.
More than anything else, re-
ports the society, good eyeSight is
important to the first grade stu
dent. For more than 80 per cent Of
his knowledge must be gleened
with his eyes. The child must
learn to read, to recognize objects
and associate them with words
and perform many other tasks

that hinge solely on good vision.
In the first grade, it is esti-
mated that more than 25 per cent
of the children are visually hand
ioapped. And roughly one-third OF
them will fail to obtain passing
grades because they are unable
to keep UP with the other students
in the process of learning.
Right now, warns the society,
is the best time for parents to-
consider their child's visual cap
abilities, while the many details
of preparing him for school are
fresh in their minds. Within a
few weeks, summer will be well
under way and most families
will have forgotten Juniors
pending school entry in the
rush of vacations and the like.
MANY PROBLEMS
There are many problems af-
fecting children who have never
been subjected to the routine OF
classroom life. One of the most
common handicaps is Myopia, OF
nearSightedneSS. And it's one OF
the easiest to recognize.
Parents will be able to notice
that the myopic child holds his
book too close to his eyes, and is
not interested in activities that
require seeing at a distance.
However, some OF these children
are rather good students, becaus5
they live in a small world and dc
not have the normal distractions
of child with good vision. But
cf course, this isn't good either

Farms Fading
In United States,
Tactics Change

SPRINGFIELD 1ll.-More than
half million US. farms disap-
peared in five years through merg-
ers, suburban developments, air.
ports and similar causes.
The ability of farmers to man
age and work bigger tracts with
power machinery was chief cause
of the decline, according to studies
reported by Joe E. Ewing, chief
federal-state agricultural statisti-
clan.
IThe 1854 census of the us. De-
partment of Commerce showed
4.782,O0 farms compared to s.
$4,000 five years earlier.
The farmer on 160 acres who
buys an adjoining 80 or quarter
section (16O acres and farms both
tracts as one, is largely responsible
for the reduction in farming units.
FEWER BUILDINGS
Empty farm house and vacant
farmsteads throughout the coun-
try offer mute testimony to the
transition from horse tilling OF
the soil to horseleSs tilling.
Many buildings have been re-
moved by wrecking or burning to
reduce taxes.
Robert B. Glasgow and j. V.
McElveen of the us. Department
of Agriculture disclosed that OF
4,782 900 farms in 1854, nearly
one-third either were residential
or uart-time farms that sold for
less than $1,000 worth of produce
in a year.
On these farms most of the
income was obtained from en-
ployment elsewhere.
Of the 1927 900 commercial
farms, only $4,000 were in the
class with gross income from farm
produce of $4,000 or more in a
year, in the year 1854.
There were 449.000 farms with
gross incomes between $4,000 and
S24.999: 707,0O0 farms in the
S5, 5,OOO-S9, 900 gross income brack-
ct; 811, 900 with gross OF S2,500 TO
81 e99 and 1853 900 with gross sales
of $1,000 to $2,499 in a year.
The low in com e commercial
farms and "cropper" units are the
ones uhat have been disappearing
so fast.
SOUTH AFFECTED
Manv farms that disappeared
are in the South where new in
dustries moved in and offered
small holders and sharecroppers
better living from a factory JOB,
the government survey revealed.
Twenty-eight per cent OF all
farmers worked 100 or more days
off their farms in 1854 compared
to "a per cent five years earlier.
Charges by left-wing farm
groups that big corporation
farms are taking over the land
is a myth, the survey showed.
Medium and large commercial
family farms in the 160 to 32o-
acre class still account for the
bulk of farm output.
There was substantial in
crease in the five-year period IN
the number of farms crossing
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year or
more.
Most of these farms are run by
one man and his family.
Sometimes there is one addl-
tional full-time married employee

that women are showed under by

Marshal zhukov's statement
came after Marshal Tito had
awarded him YugosIavia,s high-

There was no way of learning

Yugoslav chief had told news

Indicated that the Impeachment
between the Soviet Union and
YugoSlavia had now become so
close that they would automatic

Mr.. Popovic replied obliquely:

Soviet Union as well as cooper
ation with all other countries Of
the world will only serve to help
remove the danger of war"
Two hours after the signing
ceremony Marshal Tito left by
train for home. He plans to stop
at Kiev in the Ukraine and pay
a three-day state visit to Ro-
mania en- route.
Awaiting him was another
major diplomatic effort-to try
to convince the United States
that he, still is an independent
Communist and not completely
back in the Soviet camp. Dur
ing his visit Marshal Tito has
insisted that the agreements he
was reaching with the Russians
would not affect his relations
with the Western nations who
aided him after he broke with

now, no fuel available in this area could get
top power out of these higher-compression
engines Because of this need, ESQ Research
created new Golden ESQ Extra four full years
ahead of schedule. Scientifically designed and
balanced to provide full power = top mileage
and long life for even the most advanced
engine designs. So powerful that drivers who
tried it in advance tests reported an immedi-
ate improvement in performance.
Of course, many cars will continue to give
fine performance on ESQ and ESQ EXTRA.

But we think most motorists will want to find

suggestion:
Try full tank of Golden ESQ Extra. Then
decide whether the improved performance is
worth the small extra cost to you. One of our
three brilliant gasolines is bound to be exactly
right for your car and your gasoline dollar,

was obvious that, in this fight be-

slave practices, the powers had
decided to take a hand. The west
wanted to use slavery as a stick
with which to beat the Arab

its profession of advanced liberal
ism on a subject like slavery,
wanted to be sure that its Arab
friends did not get hurt too badly.
