Considering how important
our eyes are to us it is sur
prising that SO few people have
periodic eye examinations. Even
when they are faithful about
their yearly physical examina-
ton, they often overlook the
fact that eyes should have regu-
lar check-ups. The eyes change
as one grows older.
Normal eyes can see clearly
over a tremendous distance, be-
ginning about five or six inches
from the end of the nose. In
side Of the eye there is a small
transparent lens. This little
lens is thinnest when we look
at distant objects.
When we read or sew or do
any close work small muscles
get busy to thicken the lenses
so that our eyes can focus on
nearby OBJECTS or close WORK.
These little muscles are busy
all through the day changing
the shape Of the lenses so that
we can have clear focus.
AS one grows older, no mat
ter how hard the little mus
cles work, they may not be
able to thicken sufficiently
the lenses for close work.
This condition is called
presbyopia. Practically every
body has it to some degree
from the age of so on and
many have evidence of it
much sooner.
This change in the eyes is

2O-Cent Increase Makes District
Third in Area Realty Tax Rates

The new 20-cent boost in the
District real estate tax rate
means that, of Washington
area jurisdiction, only Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties will have higher rates.
When the District Commis-
sioners yesterday pegged the
real property rate at $3.50 per
500 Of assessed valuation, the
District yaulted from the fifth
to the third highest among the
seven governments of this area.
According to a chart from
the District Finance Office. the
District now will pay more than
Alexandria and Falls Church.
while Fairfax and Arlington
Countries will pay the lowest
rates.
The increase from $3.50 to
$3.50 per 500 of assessed val
uation in the District is retro
active to july /. T
The increase will show up
in the bills District property
owners will receive by Septem-
ber !.
Schuyler Lowe, director Of
The Department of General
administration, told the Com
missionerS that District budget
land finance officials felt the
real estate tax increase was
imperative"
Mr.. Lowe said the House
passed District budget of $268
million was based partly on
the assumption that the Dis
trict would increase its real
estate tax revenues by $4.5
million.
This Is the sum that a 20
cent real estate tax increase is
expected to. yield.
Tne real properly increase
was the first made here since
fiscal 1857, when the rate was
raised 10 cents.
Mr.. Lowe said the new real
estate rate increase will give
the District an effective total
real estate tax rate above those
in the Virginia suburbs but be-
low the effective rate in Mont
gomery and Prince Georges.
The effective rate takes into
consideration differences in

Weaver First
Negro Guest
AtD.C.CIub

George L. P. Weaver. nom
inee for Undersecretary of
Labor, last week became the
first Negro guest at the exclu-
sive Metropolitan Club.
George E. Hamilton, jr.,
chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the Metropolitan
Club, said today there has been
no meeting of the Executive
Committee or of the board OF
governors of the club since
the incident referred to. nor
had there been any change in
custom at the club. Further
than that, he declined to COM
ment.
Mr.. Weaver was . luncheon
guest Of George Cabot Lodge,
son of Republican vice presi-
Dental candidate Henry Cabot
Lodge.
Mr.. Weaver said today that
he had been invited to the
club last March by Mr.. Lodge
and had asked him at the time
if he was aware Of the club rul-
ing on Negroes. Mr.. Weaver
said his host informed him ht
was not aware of the ban.
On making q telephone
check, Mr.. Weaver said, Mr.
Lodge was told by club officials
it would not be proper.

$1.20; Falls Church. $1.31.
Another table presented by
Mr.. Lowe gives a comparison of
the overall picture in each
of the seven area jurisdictions
on major taxes.
This table, which lists the
amount of money a family Of
four owning a home and car
would pay for automobile tags.
and sales, income, real prop
erty and personal property
taxes, shows that the total tax
burden in the District for such
a family with an income OF
$5, 900 is 1921.
Mr.. Lowe said the House
passed budget Of $268 million
was based not only on an in
crease in the real estate tax
but also assumed passage OF
Legislation to increase the Dis
trict sales tax from 2 to 3 per
cent and some other tax in

The United Givers Fund
board Of directors yesterday set
a goal of $7.8 million for the
October campaign.
The figure, recommended
by Donald S. Bittinger. cam
paign committee chairman, at
yesterdays board meeting, is
10 per cent higher than the
ST. million raised in the 1860
campaign.
Mr.. Bittinger called the in
crease "a whale of q jump"
He said he believes it repre-
sents "as much Of a leap for
ward as we should undertake
in one year"
The new goal was 5000, 900
lower than recommended by
Donald Dawson, chairman Of
UGF Admissions and Alloca-
tions Committee, and won
board approval by a small
margin.
Several board m m b ers
agreed with Mr.. Dawson that
his higher recommendation Of
5000, 900 should be set as the
campaign goal to meet the
minimal needs of the 146
agencies participating in UGF
If the actual needs of the
agencies were to be met, over
SO million would have to be
collected, Mr.. Dawson said.

Recommendation of Everett j

D. 6. Refuses to Pay
For Weak Rat Poison

The District Government has
refused to pay for 1000 pounds
of rat poison because it wasn't
poisonous enough.
Rexford G.. Vessels, District
procurement officer, said he
rejected the supply of Red
Squill after three tests showed
this shipment was not suffi-
GENTLY lethal. Full strength
shipments of the same poison
previously had proved effective,
he said.
Mr.. Vessels said a New York
company which provided the
material under a $3,252 con-
tract has agreed to try to find
a more deadly supply.
However, the District official
said the poison, which comes
from the bulb Of a lily-like
plant call the red squill, is
grown commercially only in
the Middle East.
He added he has been told
that supplies in this country
have become scarce because of
the general unrest in that sec
ton of the world.
Mr.. Vessels said the Dis
Evening star., 1961-07-19

trict always has tested its ship
ments Of this poison ever since
it got a weak supply several
years ago.
About 40 men spent sew
eral weeks spreading this poison
mixed with food in rat-infested
areas. but it just made the
rodents fat" Mr.. Vessels said.
william H. Cary. jr.. chief
of the District Bureau of En-
vironmental Health, said that,
if a supply of potent Red Squill
isn't available, the District
probably will have to use some
other poison in its rat eradi-
cation program.
Asked about the success Of
this campaign, Mr.. Cary said
his department has received
more than the usual number
of complaints about rats this
summer.
Il don't know whether this
is because of an increase in the
number of rats or not" said
Mr.. Cary. 1--WE prefer to spend
our time killing them rather
