4 Engena Begisfer-Guard, Wednesday, June 21, 1944. Optometrists Hear ELedure on Vision Treatment Advance Eighteen member! of the Ore "gon optometric association from ""the central Willamette valley gathered at the Eugene hotel "Tuesday evening to hear a lec ture by Ralph Barstow, director of economics, of the optometric extension program. In his lecture, Barstow declared that "About 2,000 young men are .in the fighting forces, more than 1,000 of them in the air corps, who wouldn't have been in at all if it hadn't been' for the services of optometrists. These men had been rejected by the medical ex aminers because of eyesight troubles." Barstow stated that there had been a great deal of publicity in the past year about "throw away your glasses. 'borne or tnis makes sense and some is non sense," he declared, "in so-called 'functional myopia' or near sightedness, especially with younger people, it is possible fre quently to restore normal vision without the need for glasses. On the other hand, there are many cases where the glasses are a positive benefit." "War industry," Barstow ex plained, "has shown that the cus tomary and single emphasis on far-point vision is a serious mis take. Not to exceed 20 per cent of the people employed in indus try need acute vision at far-point, but the remaining 80 per cent have to have help at the working point and this is frequently about 14 to 18 inches from the eyes." The speaker claimed that seeing takes place in the brain and not in the eye and that seeing is both additive and subtractive, adding "optometrists, using their knowl edge of neurology and psychology as it applies to vision are able to work what seem like miracles in training visual perception, ability to see in detail and with great rapidity." At the conclusion of the lec ture, arrangements were made for a series of scientific optometric study groups which will meet next fall in Albany and Eugene.

Final Assault- (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) against Cherbourg from.the south east reached a point well north of Valognes, known as La Rou gen. The flank approaches to Cher bourg were littered with mine fields and anti-tank ditches. Lat est reports made it evident that the nazis did not prepare the de fenses of the city for an attack from the south. Either the city must fall within 48 hours, in the opinion of well informed allied observers, or it must be taken in a coordinated as sault from all sides against stub born opposition. ' In the Caen-Tilly scetor at the opposite end of the allied beach head, violent battles swayed back and forth with no marked advan tage for either -side. Henry T. Gorrell, United Press war correspondent, in a dispatch from "the vicinity of Cherbourg," said the fast shifting battle line appeared to. run from Beaumont Hague, at the center of the north western cape, down through Mar tinvast, about two and one-half miles due south of Cherbourg proper. Frenchmen and German war prisoners Gorrell saw outside Cherbourgh told him that the nazl garrison had begun pulling out northwestward into the Cape de la Hague, where they would face tne choice of surrender or death. Spurt Six Miles American troops spurted six miles nortnward from captured Valognes," 10 miles southeast of Cherbourg, during the night in an advance which Gorrell described as "very fast," indicating that the resistance on that flank had crum bled. Unconfirmed and apparently premature reports said some Americans already had penetrated Cherbourg, but more reliable in formation indicated the climactic battle was raging one to three miles from the city's limits. While 155 and 105 millimeter shells arched overhead and smash ed into the enemy's fortifications, American Infantry drove steadily up defense-studded hills rising to 800 feet in a tight arc around Cherbourg. Their capture probably would mean the fall of Cherbourg within a matter of hours.

Insurance Talk 1 Paul Gurske, labor member of the state industrial accident com mission, at the Wednesday, morn ning session emphasized that the state insurance is a mutual insur ance agency operated for Oregon by citizens on the principle that the lives and welfare of the citi zens are necessary to the welfare of the state. He urged that the federation oppose the enactment of the three way insurance law at the next legistation, pointing out tnat sucn a law wiu cut the heart out of the compensation move ment.

He further urged that labor ers and farmers accept the chal lenge of public lack of interest in the ballot which he termed a dis turbing factor in American life. Governor Earl Snell,, who ad dressed the delegates Tuesday afternoon, said that the various post-war problems must be ap proached as "the last, oppor tunity of our generation." But he said that ' the states alone could not carry the tremendous burdens of post-war problems. Federal assistance will be neces sary, he said, but pointed out that Jt would be assistance of the type which would nourish initiative and enterprise. Gratitude to the federation of labor for leading the way in the voluntary plan to meet the pro duction schedule through ade quate use qf manpower was ex pressed to the delegates by Lee Stoll, state manpower director.
