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.

Choose sunglasses for fall travel
Now that sunglasses have
become an accepted, every
day part of our lives it is
important that we under
stand clearly what they can,
and should, do for us.
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

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.
