WHAT KIND OF BIFOCALS?
Bifocals are generally the choice
of people who require two separate
vision corrections - one for near
and one for distance. It is the sen
sible alternative to carrying two
pairs of glasses and changing
them constantly. But even after
choosing bifocals, there are addi
tional considerations.
What degree of magnification is
desirable? The power of the
bifocal segment can be selected
for any distance desired. Most
often it is set for reading distance,
but it need not be. It can be made
for seeing as close as eight to ten
inches for very precise work. Or it
could be set for twenty to thirty in
ches to see the dashboard of an
auto or an airplane. But it pro
bably cannot provide optimum
focus at both distances.
There are also choices as to the
position and size of the bifocal seg
ment. It is usually located in the
lower third of the lens, but it
doesn’t have to be. It could be at
the top of the lens or in the comer.
It can be as small as a dime or en
compass most of the lens.

WHEN THE INJURY IS SLIGHT
*4
If you or some other family member
suffers an injury to the mouth that you
consider slight, don't shrug It off - let
your dentist take a look. Sometimes
a minor injury involving the teeth
presents no pain or other symptoms
at first, but in time it might result in in
fection and other complications. You
wouldn’t want to run the riak of losing
e tooth by ignoring the problem, i
One of the first things your dentist
will went to do is X-ray the injured
tooth to find out how extensive the
damage is. If there is an infection, Jt
can probably be treated with an an
tibiotic. if there Is a fracture or If part
of the tooth has been chipped, the
tooth can be restored using a com
posite resin or your dentist may
recommend the tooth be crowned.

Fun With Food
From The Herald Kitchen
By MILDRED HUSKINS
Modern conveniences make
cooking tasty meals easier.
Most of us have fond memories
of the old-time kitchen where our
grandmother cheerfully spent
most of the day preparing wonder
ful home-style meals for huge
family gatherings. Some of us
even remember them as the good
old days, but really few of us ac
tually have the time or the desire
to relive them today. None of us
cooks like Grandma anymore and
few of us even cook like our
mother and we are fortunate that
we don’t have to.
Modern food technology has
resulted in many conveniences
that make it possible to prepare
good-tasting meals in a relative
ly short time. Convenience foods
have become such an accepted
part of life today that we take
them for granted. We no longer
feel guilty about using prepared
foods, so we have found out that
we can enjoy the speed and ease
of convenience foods without
sacrificing quality or nutrition.
For the times when you want a
home-cooked meal without spen
ding hours in the hot kitchen, try
a Stir-Fry Pepper Steak dinner.
By teaming up the quick-cooking
technique of stir-frying and conve
nience of some prepared food
items, you can have a delicious
meal on the table in about 20
minutes. Add Tomato Dressing to
a mixture of crisp salad greens
and have Stir-Fry Pepper Steak
as the entree, followed by Rich
and Nutty Fudge Sauce over
vanilla ice cream. There you are
and it’s a yummy supper!
