Startling Findings Disclosed Bv Tests In CiOuntv Recently (Continued from page one) ed others were affected, thus con I rmuig a defect Aproximately one half the defects recorded were due to an inability to see clearly, or a lack of visual acuteness. All the de fects found have a definite tenden cy to become more severe unless cor rected early Many of the muscular defects tend to produce eye strain with associated headaches and gas tric upsets Out of the total group of 1728 chil dren examined 791 failed one or more grades, and 108 repeated three or more grades, and two children re peated as many as six grades Poor vision is believed to cause many fail ures. however, it is believed that many, -oi the viau^ defects resulted from other physical defects such as malnutrition, lack of proper vita mins in the diet, and injuries which did not receive proper medical care. Many of the defects were undoubted ly due to improper illumination in both the home and school. An illumination survey was made of several schools in this study and the conditions found were so de plorable that a basic standard could not be determined. Many of the schools were without electric lights although they were wired lor elec tricity. Not one classroom was found to have adequate shades. New shades were installed in several classrooms and two months later were found to have never been adjusted. The amount of light in the classrooms was recorded by a foot-candle meter and many rooms varied from zero .light to direct sunlight glare. We recommend the "following as measures of preventing so many vis ual defects in. our school children and future citizens: Regular physical examinations by a competent physician. A complete visual examination by an ophthal mologist (not just an "eye special ist") when the child first enters schools. The proper medical care for eye injuries. Proper light and the use of proper lighting facilities when working or reading?both in the home and school. Proper environ ment when reading. Rooms should glare. More instruction as to the proper care of the eyes. The table appearing elsewhere in this paper gives the numerical data of the visual survey and includes in formation regarding each school in the survey It is self-explanatory.

Options were taken on several sites, including one near Windsor, but low power rates, avail able timber resources, geographical location and water and rail trans portation were the deciding factors tn locating the plant here, it was learned. ??? ' ? .??- ?. ? It is understood that the company, composed of Messrs. Samuel and 1 David Goldman. O. P. Newcomb and Meyer M. Levin, made prelimi nary investigations possibly a year ~aytr??looking toward the location of a factory in Williamston, that before final action was taken an investiga tion of other possible sites was con ducted in several counties. The new enterprise in coming to Williamston asked no concessions in the way of tax exemptions, a free site or special privileges. "We are | coming to Williamston because we I recognize it to be a thriving and | wide-awake town ideally located and I suitable for our business," an o/fi Icial was quoted as saying. "We come with the pledge to do our bit in pro moting the interest of the town and I its people, and merely ask the j friendly cooperation of everyone," I the official was said to have added. Mr. G. H. Harrison, who has spent I much of his personal time in answer j ing inquiries and handling retails for the company, stated that he rec of a boom for this community. "No startling period of prosperity is to be expected, but with the plant pro viding employment for surplus la bor. we should continue to move along on an even keel," he conclud ed.

Moreover, there are tunes in our experiences when we should say to ourselves the stimulating words which Paul said to himself: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me." We are not to he victims of self-pity and social pessimism We are to expose our minds and open our lives to the truth and love and power which God has placed within our reach. And there are times when we must say to ourselves what the Prodigal , Son said to himself: "I have sinned I will arise and go to my Father." Then we are ready to express our rsineere desiies unto God and say un to Him: "Take me into the discipline I of Thy love and make me Thy ser- | vant." Wednesday Night?Subject: The Possibilities Of Life Jesus evaluated individuals and I social situations in terms of their | potentialities and unrealized possi bilities. He had sufficient spiritual | insight to see in undeveloped per sonalities immense possibilities of | growth and of greatness. One New Testament writer who had achieved emotional maturity ? and spirituul excellence in spilb of personal frustrations and social chaos said: "It doth not yet appear what we shall be." What shall we be in Christian character, achieve I ment, and leadership five or ten or twenty years from now? What we shall become has already I been partly determined by our her-1 edity, our time in history, our envir i onment and the habits we have form , ed. But life is not static or finished There are unexplored and unreal ized possibilities in all of our lives. The development and the dedica tion of the highest and best elements in our personalities will require: that | we order our lives by intelligence and hold our minds upon the true, the honest, the just, and the pure, that we practice brotherly love and kindliness; and that we have faith ; in God and rely upon the deep forces ?....i ? Thursday Night?Subject: Our Knowledge Of God "There are several ways of know ing God," Dr. Binkley said explain ing that we know Him through His creative power as expressed in the heavens, stars, flowers. "We learn about God through man's character and experiences, and we know about God through Jesus," the minister said, adding that God h; nnivrnral and that we cannot get away from Him even if we penetrate the fur thermost corners of the partli "We must recognize God as our friend and not as our judge. We must work with God. for when man works with God the single wild rose is develop ed into one of greater beauty. God wants us to find tho6e laws by which souls grow, for if we go through this world refusing to know and work with God. we cheat ourselves, our families and God," Dr. Binkley de clared. Tonight Dr. Binkley's subject will | be: Motives for Christian Living. g Liquor Traf f ic Is Dealt Heavy Blow The illicit liquor manufacturing business was dealt a heavy blow in the county this week when Deputy J. U Roebuck and his assistants. Bill Haislip and Roy Peel, swung into action and ripped apart six plants in Bear Grass and Hamilton Town ships. Working while snow was on the ground, the officers wrecked two plants in Bear Grass last Monday, pouring out 700 gallons of beer. On Tuesday the officers captured a 50-gallon capacity copper kettle and poured out 500 gallons of beer in Hamilton Township. Returning to Bear Grass Wednes day, the three raiders tore up three plants and poured out 1.500 gallons of beer. Martin County Schoolmaster?
