Importance of Good Vision Stressed at Safety Meeting Dr. James Wahl, dean of the college of optometry at Pacific universiy, Forest Grove, stressed the importance of good vision in reducing accidents at a meeting of the Medford Safety council recently. Dr. Wahl said "industry loses in excess of 20 million dollars annually through eye accidents alone." Commenting on safety on the highways, Dr. Wahl praised standards of present driver ex aminations, but noted that some revision is needed in reexamina tion of drivers at regular inter vals. The change is necessary, he said, because visual, mental and physical abilities are constantly changing and should be checked regularly. Major Industries Dr. Wahl noted that most ma jor industries in this area have instituted safety programs in their operations, but added that there is a need to expand the pro grams to encourage others to stress safety on the job. Two out of three adult Ameri cans have inefficient vision which may handicap them for their jobs, according to Dr. Wahl. He said that vision train ing is important for seeing effi ciency and for job efficiency. Production in one company in creased 19 per cent after a vis ual program was instituted along with better lighting, he noted. Other factors, such as proper job placement of employees and safety features on machines, can contribute greatly to increased production and should be used to full advantage, he said. Dr. Wahl. complemented the local Safety Council, which re cently was cited by the National Safety Council for its work in traffic safety. The next-meeting of the coun cil will be Frid?y, Oct. 12, ac cording to Bud Palmer, chair- GRAN DVIEW-LONE PINE School Routine Resumes By LILLIAN KNIGHT Grandview-Lone Pine Teach ers and pupils are last getting back into the school routine after classes resumed last week.

September 18, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Sadie Hawkins Day Episode Starts in M-T Wednesday Run, you guys, run! Sadie Hawkins Day falls on Saturday. Nov. 17. That's the word from Al Capp, who inaugurated Sadie Hawkins Day in his Li'l Abner comic strip, which appears in the Mail Tribune daily and Sun day. The new episode starts to morrow. Sadie Hawkins Day is the time when the hearts of single females are leaping with hope as they set off in chase of the reluctant hard - running ' male, for according to the famous Dogpatch proclamation the "un married girls chase the unmar ried men and if they ketch them, the men by law must marry the girls and no two ways about it!" In the new Li'l Abner episode Capp introduces one of the most unfortunate of Dogpatch fe males "Boyless' Bailey. "Boy less" has all the pulchritudinous attributes of Capp's very worn anly creations so one is hard pressed to understand how "Boy less" is boyless. But it's all the result of a cruel curse put on Boyless at the time of her birth by Nightmare Alice. But it wouldn't be right to spoil the story by telling the readers more about the fate of Boyless. But she'll be off and running come Sadie Hawkins Day. Don't miss the humor packed jamboree of fun and non sense in the Li'l Abner episode starting in the Mail Tribune tomorrow. Uruguay is the smallest in area and also the most densely populated of South American re publics, according to recent cen sus estimates.
