SEE THE NEW CONTACT LENS. There have been
important chronological advances. The lens rec
commended by Sterling is of tissue-thin, opticalIy
ground plastic only one-third of an inch in di-
ameter. It requires no fluid and literally FLOATS"
on the eyes natural tear layer Improvements have
been so dramatic that even people who couldn't use
the older, bulkier and less comfortable type lens
are now wearing the modern lenses In some cases,
simple adjustments to old lenses can make them
comfortable.
THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS to contacts in
addition to the improvement Of your appearance.
They provide as much visual acuity as eyeglasses
for most people who are far-sighted, near-sghted,
astigmatic They have unique corrective qualities
for certain eye conditions not offered by eyeglasses.
Contacts give you wider field Of vision. Contacts
provide safety factor that is preferred by active
athletes-even football players
YOU CAN "PRE-TEST' CONTACTS before you
make any decision. During your preliminary ex-
animation, Sterling wants you to wear contact
lens so you can experience its comfort and remove
your own mental blocks
ADJUSTMENT TO CONTACT LENSES. If you
remember the first time you wore glasses, you will
also remember that you were conscious of them for
while. Today, you probably don't even realize
your glasses are on The same effect holds true for
contacts Sterling has found that most people have
complete comfort after the adjustment period.
Millions Of men, women and children do wear these
fluidless lenses every waking hour Of the day and
for every activity-even swimming Sterling keeps
you under careful supervision until you have
adjusted.
MODERN FITTING is pleasant New examination
equipment measures the curvature of your eye
without even making physical contact. And even
II you bring your own doctors prescription,
Sterling will give you complete contact lens
examination.

YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE COST You
can pay a great deal for contact lenses. But
Sterling Optical believes this is totally unnecessary
As pioneer of eyeglaSS cost reduction, Sterling
has applied the same technique to contacts. While
maintaining the highest ethical standards, it is
also possible to bring you the full benefit of con-
facts at very nominal cost. SterlingS fee includes
every aspect of providing you with contacts: a
thorough examination, prescription which is
sent to of the largest laboratories in the Nation
where your lenses are precision ground and full
supervision until you are satisfied. 1t is also a
point that your contacts are ultimately very eco
nomical Your prescription seldom, if ever, need
be changed. Contact lenses are lifetime invest
ment. In fact Sterling guarantees your prescrip-
tion for life. If your prescription should change,
the change is made free of charge by Sterling
Optical. What's more, you need not worry about
loss; Sterling has developed a protection plan
which Is available at low cost.
IT IS UP TO YOU: If you have thought about
wearing contact lenses as do many of your friends,
it is up to you to get all the facts. All you need do
is devote an hour of your time to making an
important decision. We suggest that you call
STERLING 3-8310 for an appointment so you can be
spared an unnecessary wait.

Legendary L Figure Was Patron Saint of Russian Children

There is supposed to have been a real St. Nicholas, born about the year 300, who became Bishop of the early church in Asia Minor. He is reputed to have been a man of great piety and generosity.
 He also is said to have performed numerous miracles, including the bringing to life of three youths who had been murdered and salted down by an innkeeper with whom they had taken lodging.
 But there is no mention of him in the writings of his contempo- rary church fathers, and the ac- counts later given wide credence did not appear until centuries after his supposed activities oc- cured. Strange as it may seem, his name became very prominent dur ing the middle ages and has per sisted until the present time.
 It is doubtful if communistic Soviet Russia today is keeping this legend alive but the fact remains however legendary St. Nicholas may be, that he was known as the Patron Saint of Russia.

Down Under Yule Party is on Beach

Christmas Day in countries like Australia and New Zealand where It Is now midsummer, often begins with swim in the surf, with dinner served picnic-style and ice cream rather than plum pudding, the dessert.
 In the country down under" the temperature often climbs to 100 degrees in December, and Aus tralians are doing away with big hot dinners with turkey and pud- ding. Many families arrange camping trips and celebrate Christmas in tents and on the beach.
 Because of the heat, there are few lighted decorations in the homes. Imitation Christmas trees

are used because this is the season of brush fires, and trees are dry and brittle. Most of the celebrat- ing is done at garden parties on Christmas eve, but gifts are ex- changed the next morning at the breakfast table.
 Christmas parties also get into the swim in Chile, for it is sum- mertine in South America too. However, the late midnight dinner "cena de pascua," served after the mass, and other activities are much like those observed here.
 Viejito Pascuero, the little old man of Christmas" knocks at the door with gifts and sometimes sits down to eat too. Gifts are given also on Jan. 6, the Day of the Kings"
The Nome nugget., 1963-12-20

The idea of St. Nicholas Day started in Asia Minor in the fourth century when bishop appeared on his saints day, December 6, riding a white horse laden with gifts for children. By the 11th century St. Nick was making a regular appearance in Germany and Austria, still on December 6.

Contrast between the schools

Mrs. O'Neill, who said that
the Smyrna Special School
District at the present dme is
the largest geographically In
the state. There are nine DIFF
ferent school buildings on five
different sites to maintain, with
five cafetertas, and the dis
trict assessment listed at

speaker.
The new North Elementary
School, 10 rooms and cafetor-
ium, will open In September as
a junior high school, with Theo-
dore Parsell as principal. She
contrasted the growth from
Colonial days. The first free
school was opened In 1918. In
1886 the high school was named
In honor of John Bassett Moore,
international jurist, a native
son.
Integration has been slow and
orderly. Mrs. O'Neill stated.
Norman G. Wilder talked on
the "Rise Of the Church in the
Area" tracing advances from
l740 with the first chapel at
Duck Greek. The Revolution
"stirred the hearts of men"
and the Society of Friends built
a school, the first In the area,
and the rise of Methodism be-
gan. Allan McLane donated the
land for the first church, and
the people we're eager and ener-
getic, the speaker stated. He
referred to revival meetings

ing Methodists." In 1874 when

Church was built the old church

Clayton Man Becoming

way Saratoga Springs, NY,
for the first time this season
and he's fast becoming the talk
of the grounds.
Around the paddock, far more

with a green PAGER named
McDale Melburn and, out front,
the paying customers as well
are becoming asingly
aware of this newcomer In the

If aimed at a veteran sulky
pilot, the admiration would be
understandable, but Bill Daw-
kins, the jack-of-all trades
from Clayton, is only In his
second year at the harness
racing game and therein lies
an interesting tale.
1t all began with him accom-
panying a friend to Wheeling
Downs one fall night three years
ago, but where 1t will end no
body knows.
"Yea, | lost TWO dollars that
night | went to Wheeling" re-
minisced the 35-year-old
handyman the other day, and l
knew that wouldn't do.

enough gymnast to perform be-
fore the King and Queen of
Denmark in 1882, and now leads
a well rounded life as hog
farmer, auctioneer, wheat
thrasher and harness racing
driver-trainer.
Through Saturday, June is,
the 10th night of racing here,
Dawkins' mounts had sent him
to the cashier for checks total
ing In the neighborhood of 81, 500
and, only four times in % starts,
had he been worse than fifth

That's May S., which he owns

chased for $4,000, who has
been the biggest surprise to
date; Chockoyotte Lee, Char
