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. During the morning session E.
C. Sammons, chairman of the fifth
Oregon war bond campaign, com
mended the labor group for its ex
cellent support. In the fifth war

Oregon stands first of all the
states in the drive which, he said.
is to the credit of Oregon labor.
The commitee of law and legis
lation in its report Wednesday
proposed that the convention de
cline to support sales tax bills. The
convention also adopted the com
mittee s recommendation for the
speedy withdrawal of government
from industrial, agricultural and
labor affairs even before victory.
Grange Head Speaks
Tuesday afternoon, Morton
IJTcmklns, master of the Oregon
state grange, urged tnat laoor and
the grange be united in their op
position to any proposed sales
taxes. 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.
Stoll predicted that the priority
referral plan would be extended
to all of the country by July 1.
Resolutions passed at the Wed
nesday morning session included:
' 1. Supporting legislation for
sewage disposal for the entire
Willamette river.
2. Urging the early adoption of
the Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill.
3. No opposition to the remov-J
ing ot double liability from bank
stockholders that protect ' de
positors under the federal "de
posit insurance corporation.
4. Asking that the federal com
munications commission allot
radio time for political presenta
tions. This last was substituted
for resolution calling for broad
casting of congressional proceed
ings. Speakers Wednesday afternoon
