D. R. Updegraff, Chairman of
Area I of the North Carolina

Conservation Districts, has an
nounced that the Spring Work
shop will be held on Friday,

following counties: Avery, Bun
combe, Cherokee, Clay, Gra

Mitchell, Swain, Transylvania,
and Yancey.
All agricultural workers and
others interested in conserva

Solar Eclipse Is Slated For
Saturday, Use All Precautions \
Many people still believe
that if viewing of an eclipse
can be done “comfortably”
and the glaring visible rays
of the sun are blocked, there
is no danger. Would-be view
ers are advised by their op
tometrists that there is still
danger form the invisible in
fra-red rays which cause dam
aging burns to the eye’s re
tina in a manner similar to
the way a magnifying glass
will focus the sun on papet
and burn a hole.
Potential Damage
Irreparable
The retina not being sen
sitive to pain — would hard
ly feel a retinal burn. How
ever, all vision care special
ists realize retinal burns are
incurable and produce a blind
spot in the victim’s field of
vision — in the vital macu
lar area.
Bilateral central scomata,
macular hole, severe macular
edema, persistent paracentral
scotmata, zilateral macular
lesions, mascular burn, etc.”
were the remarks indicated
on a series of cases seen in
a London hospital following
the partial eclipse of the sun,
May 20. 1966 as reported in
the British Journal of Oph
thalmology.
Late complications of solar
damage listed by the author
could include obstruction of
the central retinal vessels,
retinal hemorrhages, retinal
dftchment, optic atrophy
and macular degeneration in
later life.
The article, referring to the
“so-called protective devices,”
such as filters, smoked or
stained glass or old negatives,
indicated the author believes
that these “even acilitate in
jury by prolonging the time
of exposure. Of the 15 eyes
in this series which did not
improve beyond a visual
acuity of 20/30, 11 had used
one or another of the meth
ods mentioned. Under no con
ditions should anyone look
directly at the sun more than
two seconds, even with best
protection.
Total Eclipse '
A total eclipse of the sun
Is due again March 7, 1970—
the first in the United States
since 1963. The path of the
total eclipse will average an
85 mile width and will angle
up from the Gulf of Mexico,
through northern Florida, to
the eastern coast of the U.
S. over the Delaware Penin
sula and after passing Nan
tcuket and the southern tip ’
of Cape Code, will head ov- •
er the ocean to Nova Scotia -
and Newfoundland out into
the sea.
The length of the “totali
ty" for the areas in the path
of the eclipse vjll average
approximately 3 minutes, with
an upper limit of about 7
minutes under optimum con-'
ditions.
All other portions of North >
America except the northern;
tip of Alaska will experience *
a partial eclipse, with the *
magnitude of the sun blocked
decreasing as the distance *
from the path of the total
phase increases. The portion,
of the sun blocked at maxi
mum eclipse will be 72% in
St. Louis and approximately
35% in Los Angeles.
The AOA in observance of
“Save Your Vision Week,”
which falls during the March'
7th eclipse, through its state
association as well as local
society affiliates plans a bar-,
rage of public service re
leases directed against eclipse
viewing.
