DR. JEFFREY BRADY Says:
Parents can detect myopia
SPECIAL!
J
Children who sit close to
the television screen, watch a
great deal of television or
spend much time reading may
be unconsciously telling their
parents they have a vision
problem, according to doctors
of optometry in Oregon,
These may be signs of the
vision condition known as
myopia or nearsightedness,
which optom etric studies
show is becoming increasingly
prevalent today.
Dr. David N. Qualls, presi
dent of the Oregon Optome
trie Association, pointed out
that a 1937 optometric study
of elementary school children
found 13 percent nearsighted,
while a similar 1967 test
revealed that 37 percent ol
the youngsters were myopic.
A person with myopia sees
near objects more clearly than
objects which are far away,
Dr. Qualls explained. This is
why it is often called near
sightedness. Although very
few people are born with the
condition, there may be here
ditarv tendencies with myo
pia.
It usually develops
during the first 25 years of
life.
It is one of the few vision
conditions that can he and
often is first detected by
observant parents, teachers,
or school nurses or through a
vision screening program, the
Gresham doctor of optometry
said.
In addition to sitting close
to the television set, other
signs of myopia include
squinting and a lack of in
terest in outdoor activities.
The myopic child is often
quite studious. Dr. Qualls
pointed out, and often does
well with desk work. Yet this
same child may do poorly in
classroom work requiring dis

When a man finds himself
living alone, hungry, and
with an empty refrigerator,
w hat does he usually do? He
goes out to eat! But here is an
alternative:
learn to cook
creatively in three painless
lessons at Portland Commu
nity College.
Bachelors at all levels of
cooking skills will actually
enjoy this cooking series
designed especially for them
by Master Chef D'Cuisine
Charles Miles, who is a
bachelor himself!
Chef Miles will conduct a
guided tour through the my
steries of the kitchen and the
gTocery store. He’ll explore
the various utensils available
and demonstrate a basic ap
proach to cooking “just for
men."
Miles believes he can intro
duce the single male to
time-saving methods of food
buying and preparation and to
a new excellence in eating and
entertaining in just three
lessons.
The first session, Novem
ber 27. will center on what to
buy, how to buy, how to sto« k
your cupboards for emer
gency entertaining. Miles will
also illustrate how to buy
meats, trim cuts, make stock
and sauces, and economical
methods of meat preparation.
In the second session, De
cember 4. shopping for fresh
fruit and vegetables and aim
pie preparation techniques
will be emphasized. Menus
for staying slim will be pre
sented. Participants will also
make individual omlettes in
this session.
The final cooking lesson,
December 11, will cover sa
lads, including the Caesar
salad, souffles, and menus for
entertaining.
Participants
will make desserts using
flaming techniques.
The programs will be held
at PCC Sylvania, 13000 S.W.
49th in the foods room. HT
D13. at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are
$1.00, available at the door.

In February, 1973, Com
missioner Lloyd Anderson
visited Portland’s Sister City,
Sapporo, Japan, to finalize
arrangements, for an em
ployee exchange program be
tween the two cities. The
program, the first of its kind
in the nation between two
sister cities, calls for the City
of Sapporo to send a technical
employee to Portland this
year, and a year from now,
the City of Portland will send
a technical employee to Sap
poro. The present agreement
calls for an exchange of one
employee per year for periods
of one year.
The first employee to parti
cipate in the exchange is Mr.
Nobuo Sato from the City of
Sapporo. He is a senior level
engineer in the City of Sap
poro and has been engaged in
the construction of pumping
stations and sewer treatment
plants in the municipal sew
age works. He was gradu
ated from the Department of
Sanitary Engineering. Facul
ty of Engineering, Hokkaido
University, in March, 1966.
He has been employed by the
City of Sapporo since April,
1966. Born in 1942. Mr. Sato
is married.
His wife and
family will remain in Japan
during his stay in Portland.
While in Portland, Mr. Sato
will be assigned to the Bureau
of Sanitary Engineering in the
City Engineer's office in the
Department of Public Works.

There are many theories
about the causes of myopia
hut the exact cause has not
been pinpointed. Dr. Qualls
said. Because vision is com
plex the causes of vision
conditions are usually com
p lex .
However, myopia is one
vision condition that can he
effectively remedied with
eyeglass lenses (including bi
focal lenses) or with contact
lenses.
Some optometrists have
found that "learning lenses,"
which use a mild convex
prescription, aid a child’s eye
in seeing effortlessly at near
point and may help to delay
certain types of myopia often
caused by near work con
centration.
Other optometric research
ers are delving into a re
latively new area called or
thokeratology. in which a
series of special contact lenses
are designed to control and. in
some instances, to reduce
myopia by changing the shape
DO Not Pul O il Needed Dental Care
ol the exterior surface of the
eye.
Yet, Dr. Qualls points out.
there is no certain prevention
for myopia and methods being
used to reduce the condition
are still experimental. Pre
sently, the beat recommen
dation is that everyone under
age 25 should seek regular
professional vision care to
detect and correct myopia in
its early stages.

Holiday Season Recipes "Save The Day’’
You don't have to drop out
this holiday season when your
friends drop in for a surprise
visit. Many types of holiday
parties are given each year.
But. the one that throws the
most fear into conscientious
hostesses is the spur-of-the-
moment party when friends
or relatives drop in on short
notice—or unexpectedly.
These impromptu holiday
visits, though appreciated, al
ways cause a panicky dash to
the kitchen. And. then comes
the inevitable question:
"What are we going to serve?’’
Home economists at Mogen
David Wine Corporation have
found the answer with unique
"save the day” party recipes.
These innovative food ideas
using wine can be prepared
ahead and frozen or stored
until those surprise visits.
Remember, in your party
planning, wine can add an
extra touch that puts a fes
tive flavor in everything you
prepare.
For example, Coq Au Con
cord Pastries These are light
little pockets of pastry filled
with a concord spiced chicken
liver mixture. They are easily
prepared ahead of time and
stored in the freezer. When
friends drop by, merely pop
these pastries onto a baking
sheet and into the oven until
they’re golden brown and
piping hot.
A hot, hearty drink, like
Grape Toddies, will add a
festive note to your holiday
party season. The spicy hot
drink is made with concord
wine, lemon juice and cloves
and served in mugs.
The holiday season is a
long one—from November to
January T hese “save-the-
day" recipes can help you
through the party season un
scathed and make you a
heroine along the way.
This year, when friends
drop in, don’t drop every
thing Plan ahead, prepare
