Know Your Visual Limitations For Safe Driving Four elements of adequate vision for safe driving were outlined to day by Dr. John T. High, pres ident of the N. C. State Opto metric Society, in connection with Save Your Vision Week, March 2-8, during which special attention is focused on highway safety. They are: 1. Acuity—ability to focus and see clearly, without blur, at dis tances of 15 inches to 50 yards. 2. Depth perception—ability to judge distance and space rela tionships. 3. Wide field of vision—ability to see danger at the side while focusing straight ahead. 4. Freedom from “night blind ness”, consisting of (a) ability to see under low illumination, (b) ability to resist glare of oncom ing headlights and (c) ability to recover rapidly after exposure to glare. "With proper visual care, most drivers can see adequately to drive safely,” Dr. High said. “An im portant requirement is to know your visual limitations so that you compensate for them if they can not be corrected.” Music Lovers' Musician Will Appear In Recital The Music department of Mon treat college will present John Sinclair, pianist, in his third fac ulty recital at Gaither hall, Sat urday, March 15, at 8 p. m.

The committee was authorized to determine from their understanding of the discussions what was lacking, if anything, in the individual programs now in operation, whether a youth council would be helpful in such programs and if so, to what further extent in an overall way would a youth council be desirable. While the representation from a good many active youth program interests were present, it is ex pected that an even greater organ ization representation will be pre sent at the near future meeting which the ministerial association will call when the recommendation committee signifies that it is ready to report.
