DISPOSABLE CONTACT LENSES
The new disposable contact I en ms, approved by the FDA, may be
right for you. They offer a safe alternative to daily wear or ex
tended wear soft contact lenses while eliminating the mandatory
disinfection regime many people dislike.
The new lenses are available by prescription only. After wearing a
pair for one or two weeks (depending on our optometrist's instruc
tions), you throw them away.
Research appears to confirm that disposable soft contact lenses re
duce eye health risks often coused by allergic reactions to chemi
cals in lens cleaners, and the risk of infection caused by bacteria
and the build-up of protein deposits. They are only available in
mildly or moderately near-sighted prescriptions, and are not avail
able in color.
For more Information about disposable soft contact lenses, consult
your optometrist.

Rotarians pass
resolution
Submitted by
Randall L. C'arswell
At its regularly scheduled Tues
day evening meeting, the Hertford
Rotary Club conducted an open dis
cussion regarding law enforce
ment in Hertford and Perquimans
County. Henry Stokes brought to
the floor his recommendation that
the timing might be excellent for
the county and city officials to in
vestigate the feasibility of creating
a single law enforcement agency
for Hertford, Winfall, and the re
mainder of Perquimans County.
Although no complaints were
lodged against any of the divisions
servicing these areas, and several
compliments heard, it was debated
on the actual merits of creating
such an entity. Several members
brought to the floor discussion
about the positive nature of pooling
funds for one such body.
Some of the prospective benefits
included better compensation for
officers, updating of equipment
and the possibility of a continuing
education program.
Erie Haste, also a member of the
town council, stated that that body
had just reviewed some of the
items discussed, in a closed hear
ing, and would shortly be bringing
these to an open council meeting
for possible action. It was advised
that any such meeting conducted
would be advertised so as to allow
residents to attend. Haste ap
peared quite receptive to the posi
tive nature of this discussion.
The Rotary Club closed is meet
ing with the passing of a resolution
presented by David Martin as fol
lows:
Perquimans County Commis
sioners and town councils of Hert
ford and Winfall pursue with all de
liberate speed to review the
merger and reorganization of the
law enforcement agencies and per
sonnel of Perquimans County.
