Sterling's own advertising, l knew
there would be no charge for the consulta-

that could adjust to modern contacts
before l spent a single penny. And
thanks to Sterling's modern methods
and advanced techniques in fitting
contact lenses, my Sterling contacts are
so unbelievably comfortable, it's hard
to remember that I'm wearing them.
Talk about money my Sterling

half as much as others I'd paid for and

Modern contact Lenses are of tissue-thin,
optically ground plastic and require no
fluid. The lens recommended by Sterling
offers a safety factor that is even pre-
ferred over eyeglasses by active athletes.
The Corrective Qualities of contacts pro-
vide as much visual acuity as eyeglasses
for people who are near-sighted, far
sighted, astigmatic. For certain eye con-
ditions, contact lenses offer corrective
qualities that cannot be obtained with
eyeglasses (after cataract operations, for
example,.
Sterling Fitting is thoroughly modern and
pleasant. New equipment measures the
curvature of your eye without making
physical contact. Unlike eyeglasses, your
contact lens prescription is, in most cases,
permanent. There is no charge if any
change is ever needed.

Adjustment to contact lenses is something
to discuss thoroughly before you make

that the vast majority of people who

The Cost of contact lenses has been re-

going back to the 6th CEN

in 1911 in their search for

In the 18th century all

In 1878 the Sultans Of

all of their rights in North

Besides British North Bor-

CAMERA ANGLES
By A. J. WEDDERBURN
Contributing Writer

With the camera club
season under way after the
summer rest we have q few
words Of advice to amateur
photographers, particularly
the beginners.
Join q camera club In
your locality. We guaran-
tee you'll not only learn a
lot about photography but
that you'll also have a lot Of
fun in the process. And
making new friends who en-
Joy your hobby is another at
traction to signing up with
one Of the local camera
groups. We have a large
number Of such organiza-
tionS IN. Washington, some
specializing in still photog-
raphy, while others are movie
specialists.
An Grades Of Skill
Learning photography by
book and trial and error can
be costly, while it only costs
q few dollars q year to belong
to o camera club. Many of
the members will be, per-
haps like yourself, just a be-
giner with his first camera.
But there also will be many
others who are proficient in
all the skillS involved not
only in taking pictures but
In processing and printing
them as well.
BY working and having fun
with these other fans you
will soon find yourself be-
coming q really good pho
tographer, capable of making
the kind Of pictures that you
will be proud to show off to
your friends or perhaps
enter in competitions that
can bring in enough cash to
pay for your Photographic
hobby.
Interesting Programs
What can you expect from
the average camera club?
Most have interesting pro-
grams that are planned weeks
or months ahead Of the
scheduled meetings. AS a
rule there is a speaker, prom
inent in some phase Of pho
tography,, who will give an
illustrated talk on his spe-
cialty. These are generally
experts whose specialized
knowledge will help you over
some of the bumps that you
might very well encounter
otherwise.
In addition to the lecture
feature, most clubs have a
contest among the members
at each of the meetings
where their prints or movies
are voted on and critiqued by
the members. This is one Of
the greatest aids q photogra-
pher can get whether he be a
mere neophtye or a seasoned
campaigner with his camera.
1t takes honest, frank
criticism to point out the
flaws In a photo and that's
just what comes out in the
talk sessions during the meet
ings.
No one can learn to handle
a camera the right way by
listening to praises of his
sad snapshots by well-mean-
ing friends.
But with the good advice
from those who know the
ropes you will soon find your
pictures taking on the char
