Milford Vision
Specialist Studies
New Contact Lenses

s'Today's new contact lenses are
smaller than an aspirin and often
thinner than sheet of paper"
reported DR.. Harold Halpern, opto-
metriSt, on his return from the
Fourth Eastern Optometric Con-
tact Lens Conference in Philadel-
phia.
Some $50 vision specialists were
on hand for the two-day confer
ence which opened at the Sheraton
Hotel. They heard top contact
lens researchers and educators
from the United States and Canada
tell about latest developments in
vision correction.
DR.. Halpern said that recent ad-
vancements in the contact lens
field meant renewed interest on
the part of the public, thereby
creating a need for educational
conferences of this nature.
Guest speaker for the Philadel-
phia meeting was Dr. Bernard
S. Abbrams of Columbus, Ohio. Dr.
Abrams told of work with infants
and children with serious vision
disorders. He reported on a re-
search project which benefited
youngsters with eye afflictions not
correctable by regular glasses.
Another visiting speaker was Ed
ward j. Fisher, Dean of the Col
lege of Optometry of Ontario, Can
ada, who spoke on fitting the ,cata-
ract patient with contact lenses.
Although aphakia (removal of cat
aracts) is especially prevalent in
those who are SO years and over,
disease or injury can cause cata-
racts to develop in eyes of younger
persons
According to Dean Fisher, the
| use of contact lenses eliminates the
need for thick bottle" glasses
normally worn after cataract sur
gerry.
The Eastern Conference is one
of ten regional meetings sponsor
ed annually throughout the United
States by the Contact Lens Asso-
| citation for Optometry.

ton pictures, the lack of discipline
schools are. all factors that make
it much harder now for young peo-
pie to be good than it was q gener-
alton or two ago. If there Is any
increase in delinquency it is in the
delinquency of fathers and mothers
If children are s'going to the dogs"
which | doubt, it is because the
older dogs have made pathways
for them What youth needs is
fewer critics and more good ex-
amples.
Be that as it may, in all / see
a new challenge to the church.
Youth is the church of tomorrow
and no expenditure of time or ef-
fort is more rewarding for any con-
gregation than keeping it's young
people interested in and closely
tied up with her program and work.
1t is an opportune time to consid-
er this for at this fall season Sun
day schools are recruiting their
forces and seeking to recover their
summer losses and to enroll the
maximum number of new scholars.
The basic purpose of it all is to
teach youth to draw to circles of
their lives large enough to take in
religion and God. You cannot be-
gin too young here.
Here / would borrow some fg-
ures computed and published by
the Canadian Department of Agri
culture. They focus attention upon
| the time element in the planting
of wheat The first sowing was
made at the earliest date the wea-
ther allowed. Successive sowing
| followed at four weekly intervals.
And ten years of such experiment
tation disclosed that a delay of
one week beyond the earliest pos
sible sowing entailed the loss of
thirty per cent in the crop. A two
weeks delay brought loss of forty
per cent-a four weeks delay a
loss of fifty-six per cent. The most
abundant harvest of grain, other
factors being equal. always came
from the earliest sowing.
If statistics as definite as this
could be computed in the field OF
morals and religion / feel sure that
comparable facts would be disclos-
/ ed. They would make it very evil
dent that the hope Of the church
and the nation lies in the proper
training of youth for "as the twig
is bent the tree is inclined" There
fore let us do all in our power to
help our young people to pull up
the weeds and the thistles and to
plant violets and roses in the gar
dens of their hearts.

TOKYO, P1 The Winkie
craze has hit japan.
Winkie, a 10-inch high, black
plastic air-filled doll with wink
ing eyes, is easily the biggest rage
in Japan since the hula hoop two
years ago.
I'VE have customers queueing
up from before dawn waiting to
buy a Winkie," says an official OF
Tokyo's Takashimaya department
store. "It would be bedlam if we
sold them in the toy department,
SO we've set up a special sales
booth outside ground floor en-
trance"
A spokesman for Tsukadaya, a
wholesaler who has a patent on
the doll, declares we're swamped
with orders, we'll never be able to
fill them all"
What started the craze?
Some say it's because they're
cute. When inflated, Winkie doll
cuddles up to anything it's clasp
ing arms can cling to. Girls sport
them on their arms, or their hand
bag straps.
Others say it's because it's a
doll with difference and cheap.
One costs $50 yen $50 cents).
Still others blame the silly sea-
son.
I'VE hope it lasts, but perhaps
the craze will end when the sum-
mer's over" the Tsukadaya spokes-
man says.

LOOKING AT OUR YOUTH
1What youth needs is not more
critics but more good examples

Each month there comes to my
desk beautifully illustrated
Christian magazine titled This
Day" 1t brings to me a short but
very intriguing poem that l wish
to share with you today. Here ii
is:
My father must have been a most
unhappy little boy
Because he says he never did the
things / most enjoy,
He can't remember that he once
played hockey while at school,
Or ran away to join the gang
around the swimming pool:
He knew his lessons perfectly and
never told lie
He always washed behind his ears
and brushed his teeth. 0 my!
He surely was an angel child;
sometimes l wonder how
1t happens since the good die
young that fathers living now
This little touch of humor points
the finger of attention once more to
the much debated question as tC
whether the youth of today is more
delinquent in religion and morals
than it was when father was boy
1t seems that older people com.
monty find fault with those who are
young in attitude and conduct. II
has always been so. This makes
another bit of verse apropOs here
My granddad viewing earth's worn
cOgs
. Said things were going to the dogs
, His granddad in his house of logs
Said things were going to the dogs
His granddad in the Flemish bogs
Said things were going to the dogs
His granddad in his old skin togs
Said things were going to the dogs
But here's one thing / hate te
state
The dogs have had good Ions
wait
Discarding from our thinking
what those "granddads" might say
I believe it's true that human ma
ture from one generation to an
other remains pretty much tht
same and our young people arr
| neither better or worse than IL
years gone by. However, with thu
constantly changing times boil
evil and good find new avenues o
expression. / am sometimes sur
prised that youth is not more de
linquent than it is. Homes broker

Many Attractions In
Delaware For The
Fall Travellers

| Delaware, the Diamond State,
offers many attractions, natural
and man-made, for the Fall trav-
eler advises the Delaware State
Development Department.
Here, rich farming land adjoins
sandy beaches Offering warm wa
ters still suitable for bathing and
| aDounding with many forms of
edible sea life. Here, in early
Fall, the formerly lush green of
growing foliage becomes mottled
with the oranges, yellOws and reds
that make Fall travel pleasing to
the eye.
Here, the small cities and towns
setting that maintains the areas
ties with a history-packed past.
Well-shaded streets and roads pro-
ceed past edifices that once loaned
their facilities to the making of
American history.
Easily accessible from more
congested and industrialized areas,
rural Delaware offers pleasurable
travel, via an excellent system of
improved roads, to its every nook
and Granny.
Picturesque historic Dover, with
it's Georgian style colonial archi-
lecture, is midway of the state,
astraddle u S. 13, the dualized
main highway artery that runs the
| full 95-mile length of the state,
Side trips to historic New Castle,
near the western approach to the
Delaware Memorial Bridge, and to
| Lewes, near the entrance of Della
ware Bay, are also rewarding to
those interested in history.
At Lewes, the Dutch, in 1881,
made the initial attempt at estab-
fishing a settlement on the Della
ware; while this first settlement
was destroyed by Indians, the
Dutch and Swedes both subsequent
ly established permanent settle
ments in the New Castle-Wilming-
| ton area. Many of the buildings
from this era are still standing;
27S years ago, William Penn spent
his first night in America at New
Castle ina dwelling that is still
in use.
While such special occasions as
"Old Dover Days" and "New Cas-
tie Days" are observed in the
Spring when residents of these
communities recapture the color
and atmosphere of colonial times
and open historic homes and build
ings for public viewing, the Fall
visitor, according to the Develop
ment Department., finds the same
hospitality prevalent with the well
come mat consciously displayed.
Perhaps the greatest attraction
for the Fall visitor is the variety
of recreation that Delaware Of
fers. For the outdoor sport par
ticipant, there is good fishing, fresh
water and salt water; hunting OF
squirrel and the elusive raccoon; !;
chasing OF the crafty red fox; and
swimming in the still warm but
Iinvigorating waters of lake, river,
bay and ocean.
For the neutrality-suspicious.,
there is harness racing at Harrlng-
ton; stock car racing, matinee and
nocturnal, at several tracks; yacht
Iregattas on Indian River and Re-
hoboth Bay; good small college
football and other Fall sport at the
University of Delaware, and schol-
astic gridiron competition at viz
tually every Delaware high school.
