Trail Blazers by Paul Knauls The Portland Trail Blazers, enjoying a place in the sun. defeated the Seattle Super Sonics 123 108 on Saturday. October 20th, to remain the only undefeated team in the National Basketball Associa tion (NBA). Lloyd Neal, who replaced in jured Rick Roberson at cen ter. teamed with Super Sid ney Wicks to let the Sonics know he was no longer a rookie; and shooting guard Geoff Petrie helped to pace the Blazers to their third win in as many games. Petrie pumped in 32 points and Super Sidney had 22, while Neal had 22, with 14 coming in the third quarter. Other teams in the NBA, coming to Portland in the past, came for some R. & R. - Rest & Relaxation. The 1973 Trail Blazers will have to be played from buzzer to buzzer. Our star ters, Wicks and J. Johnson at forwards, Roberson at center, and Petrie and Steele at guards, will keep the Blazers in any game with any team. And with Neal and Martin at back up cen ter, and 0 . Johnson, Davis, Smith and Mo I^iyton on the bench, the Blazers should win their share of games. I^arue Martin, still a couple of years away, is coming on strong. Larue, able to leap a tall building in a single bounce, is more relaxed and the fans love him. when McCloskey sends Martin to the check in stand the fans let him know it. If he makes a mistake you can hear “that's ok I^irue". Martin then will respond with a dunk or a towering rebound. I would love see more fans of the community at the games. Even with the in crease in pricis the game of basketball is a very good way to spend a night with your son or daughter if the wife doesn't like the game. 4 A slide show.

Everyone feels the need for sunglasses in the summer sunshine and in the presence of sun glaring off snow and ice in the winter. What most people don't realize is that the choice of sunglasses can have an important influence on daytim e com fort and safety, and play an equally important part in safe driv ing at night. After a day in the bright sunlight without adequate sunglass protection, as much as 50% of the eye's visual purple may be gone by nightfall. What happens is that the eye accommodates itself to bright sunlight by partially in sen sitizing its retina. This desensitizing, or protective, process requires a substantial reduction of the photo-active substance within the eye called visual purple. A full day's exposure to brilliant sunlight, without sunglass protection, can re suit in temporary night blind ness; and a two week's vaca tion in a sunny place, winter or summer, can cause partial loss of night vision for as much as a week. There are two kinds of useless light that confront us on a sunny day. One is blinding, visibile, reflected glare light bouncing off the water, snow, a highway, or even a shiny magazine as if from a mirror. The other is invisible, but biologically pa tent just the same. Those invisible rays from the sun are ultraviolet light, the rad iation in sunlight that sur, burns skin and can literally sunburn the eyes too. That miserable condition is known as “snow" blindness, but next to snow, which has an 85% reflectance factor, dry sand and water are the worst offenders when it comes to ultraviolet light. So sunglasses are impor tant for comfort and eye protection. Which part to choose becomes the question. All sunglasses are "dark glasses'*, but some really work for you in important ways -- and som e just darken the light. That means you must approach the sunglass counter with several considerations in mind as you select your sun glasses. You need to protect your Ko:s 287 2887 Starts Friday MRoTKSCOLOHA ST j a Something about the crisp air on a bright day seems to suggest long drives in the country. Before taking to the open road, though, it's a good idea to check the map. It's also wise to make sure you have the right kind of eye protection for that sunny ride. eyes so as to retain adequate night vision; you need sun glasses that screen out as much reflected glare light as possible so you can see clearly; and you want to shield your eyes from ultra violet light. To understand how these lenses work, it is necessary to know something about what happens to light as it radiates towards earth from the sun. Sunlight normally vibrates in all directions as it comes toward your eyes. But when sunlight strikes a reflective surface like water, it becomes reoriented. Some of the light bouncing toward your eyes is then vibrating vertically, but most is vi brating horizontally. This horizontally vibrating light is what we call' "reflected glare”. It hides what you need to see and thereby can blind you momentarily. Thé choice of lens color is also of great importance. Neutral gray affords the least color distortion and is the preferred all purpose tint. However, when haze is a problem, as it so often is, the best sunglass color to wear is amber tinted. The human eye has a very poor lens in it not one you'd think of buying in a camera. And it's especially imperfect when it comes to color correction in the blue portion of sunlight. Scattered light, or haze, has more blue light in it than the other colors in daylight, and amber lenses penetrate that scattered haze light spectrum or haze, has more blue light in it than the other colors in daylight, and amber lenses penetrate that scattered haze light better than any other tint. In short, amber lenses subdue the blues in the light spectrum and improve visual acuity so that you ran see through the haze. On a gray day, amber tinted lenses give you a feeling of sunlight too, a goal psychological lift in itself. So buying sunglasses should not be a casual, spur of the moment purchase, but one to which careful thought is given. Eunglasses may be fun, but they don't do any thing good for you. After all, its your eyes you are protecting.
