Smyrna Contact
Lens Specialist
Attends Farley

More than 1000 eye special
lists representing "a nations met
in Chicago during Eye Research
Foundation Week for the worlds
largest contact lens conclave, re-
ported DR.. Harold Halpern, form
er Smyrna optician, after his re-
turn from the First World Con-
tact Lens Congress. 1T was a
history-making event VIII c h
brought together top contact
lens researchers, scientists and
eye specialists" said DR.. Hal
perm. GAS a result of this con-
gress, and its exchange of in
formation, contact lens research
has been advanced at least a
dozen years ahead" Some thirty
research papers were read in the
main assembly by eye special
lists from various nations includ-
ing Argentina, Columbia, France,
6 erm any, Hungary, Japan,
United States, and others. Use
of an IBM translator system
eliminated language barriers and
a closed circuit TV system gave
everyone in the huge assembly
a "front-row seat" Among the
reports presented were studies
on contact lenses for babies and
children, bifocal contact lens i'm
provements, effects of long term
contact lens wearing, sub-norm-
al vision aids, special uses for
contact lenses and other vital
phases of eye and contact lens
research. According to DR.. Hal
perm, the international event not
only revealed latest scientific de-
velopments and research in the
the contact lens field, but Great
ed an atmosphere of internation-
al peace while fostering ex-
change of information through

Threatening Weather Holds Crowd
At Farm Field Day Down To 800

More than 800 people turned
out for the annual Farm Field
Day at the Georgetown Substa.
ton of the University of Della
ware, August 5, to see a var

and experimental plots. The
crowd was smaller than last
year, prob a bly, because OF
threatening weather. The main
crowd pleaser was DR.. Carroll

helicopter. He gave a heart
shaking exhibition of craftsman

crowd pleasers included chick

weed control. Of the eight 9TH

said a chemical called Atrazine
looks good also. Soybean farm
ers were also interested in
Springer's castor bean plots.
Castor beans are being tested
as a possible replacement crop
for soybeans. The main prob
lem is to develop a machine to
harvest the crop Springer said.
