This fee includes every aspect of providing you with

in the nation where your lenses precision ground

1t is also important that contact lenses ultimately

need be changed. Contact lenses unlike eyeglasses,
are lifetime investment. In fact Sterling Optical
guarantees your prescription-for life. And since
the only problem to be faced the possibility of loss
Sterling Optical has developed a protection plan
which is available for very little cost.
YOU SHOULD NOW EXPERIENCE THE COMFORT:
You now have almost all the information you need

This is completely unfounded. Sterling Opticals

YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE ADJUSTMENT
TO CONTACT LENSES: Sterling Optical has found
that the vast majority of people who want to wear
contact lenses adjust satisfactorily The prob.em
to overcome is psychological Just as when you first
wore eyeglasses and were conscious of wearing them,
so too you will be conscious of your contact lenses
for while. Sterling Opticars careful and patient
fitting guides you through this period of adjustment
and you are kept under supervision until you
enjoy complete comfort and are enjoying your con-
tact lenses every waking hour of your day. Children
as matter of fact, will usually adjust far more
swiftly than adults-because children seldom have
to overcome their own squeamishness.

"floats" the eyes tear layer, it is only onethrd

finds it extremely easy to fit those persons who have
had poor experiences with earlier, bulkier corneal

PIT STOPS

Just before the main go at
Old Dominion Speedway Sat-
urday night, about 5000 eyes
looked skyward from the grand
stand. You can almost hear Al
Gore now: Where's that
blankety-blank airplane?"
A parachutist named Dick
Hickman was to have made a
1,000-foot jump into the track
infield. Gore, Old Dominion's
promoter, had signed a $3.50
contract with the fellow. Fifty
Of that was to go for hiring
the plane.
"He came to us; we didn't go
looking for him." Gore ex-
planned. 81 didn't want any
thing to do with it, but he kept
after US and finally said okay.
The week before, he came to
the track and we got it all set
up. The plane was supposed to
buzz the field and blink its wing
lights. and then we turn OF the
floodlights and he jumps"
The feature race was held up
about 10 minutes while every
one scanned the dark sky-in
vain. Two days later Gore still
hadn't heard from the man.
But when I find him." Gore
promised, "he's going to jump"
Gore found him Monday
night They tentatively agreed
to try the stunt again July 16.
Gore will get the plane himself
and might even ride with the
'chutiSt.
I'm leery as hell of anybody
anymore" the big guy says.
y
All of which hasn't much to
do with racing. except that
Gore and promoters at other
small tracks have been stung
too often when trying to put on
an added attraction for the
public. The most frequent
offenders, Of course, are
name" drivers.
In the case above. Hickman
was reported to have explained
that his pilot backed out Of the
deal. Luckily, Gore didn't ad-
vance his ticket prices. and only
one patron complained.
Gore remembers too vividly
the occasion several years ago
when he signed for a major
NASCAR event and was assured
certain well-known chauffeurs
would be present. However, the
biggest name never showed,
and the fans had their kicks
watching Curtis Turner land
his private plane on the drag
strip nearby.
The paying public complained
because it had been charged
higher prices for a watered-
down program. Newspapers
complained because they had
been fed false information for
advance stories. Gore pleaded
innocent.
