VIDEO TECHNOLGY - Dr. David McDaniel and Mrs. Charles Scism show the new video technology which Kings Mountain Eye Clinic has installed for patient use. New Equipment Makes Eyeglass Selection Easier Kings Mountain Eye Clinic on West King Street is practicing new video technology while enhancing the patient’s ability to choose an attractive eyeglass frame. Dr. David McDaniel says his new technique of frame selection is especially helpful to those who have strong prescriptions or who have had eyes dilated. “Kids and adults, too, are finding this new technique great to break the ice and are not as apprehensive about getting the first pair of glasses”, said McDaniel. The new equipment is a video record or playback system which allows the patient to view each frame from all angles on a TV set after Dr. McDaniel uses a JVC color camera to make a pic- ture of the patient with her new frames. The patient can then see herself as she looks with the glasses on through the Sony TV monitor which gives a color pic- ture. “When reviewing the video tape upon playback the patient can see the frame she chooses by placing old glasses on to view the TV monitor”, said McDaniel. The video tape can be played back as often as the patient wishes to help her decide in frame selection. “Persons who are nearsighted find it very dif- ficulty to see themselves in a mir- ror and often times get an inac- curate impression of eyeglass frames,” explained Dr. McDaniel. “But when viewing the video tape on the television you are actually seeing the frame as other people would preceive it on you,” he added. Nancy (Mrs. Charles) Scism modeled some of the newest spectacles, the faceted look which gives the appearance of cutglass, as Dr. McDaniel ex- plained the new equipment to a Visitor. Other optometrists in this area are Kings Mountain / Vision Center, Dr. James Mason, West King Street, and Dr. Nathan H. Reed, S. Cansler St. Bessie Childers Retires After 48 Years At Sadie TEN PS an Bi wn on A | mn Bessie Childers went to work at Sadie Cotton Mill when she was 15 years old and her first pay check was $8.00 or 20 cents per hour. That was about 1935 and Bessie has seen the company grow “by leaps and bounds” since those days growing up on the Sadie Mill Village where her parents also worked at Sadie Mills. In 1953, Bessie’s wages had in- creased dramatically and the company had instituted a Profit Sharing Retirement Plan along with other benefits and Bessie started contributing to the plan too. When Bessie retired recently after more than 40 years service, she took home a check for $26,235.10. Wife of Dargin Childers of 619 E. Gold St., Mrs. Childers has worked in the Spinning Room all her life. The Childers have a daughter, Mrs. Hazel Hipp, and a son, Paul Childers, both of Kings Mountain. Mrs. Childers’ mother, Mrs. Frances Biddix, is a former employee of Sadie and Mrs. Childers’ sister, Mrs. Frances Biddix, is now an employee of Sadie. Since her retirement Mrs. Childers has joined the Senior Citizens program at Depot Center and is also active in her church, Gold Street Wesleyan Church. “I’m really happy that I joined our company profit sharing pro- gram and that the Sadie started this program for all our employees,” said Mrs. Childers as George Houser, Sadie ex- ecutive officer, presented the check to her.
