Mayo Foundation Or Special Glasses for lha Almost-Blind I recently read a remarkable article by James E. Lebensohn, of Chicago, in the 'Sight-Saving Review," pub lished by the Nat ional So ciety for the Blindness, In., at 1790 Broad way, 19, N.if. I have always been interest ed when I have seen a Aivam nearly - blind person reading with glasses that look like tiny telescopes. Dr Lebensohn describes many of the apparatuses . of this type which have been devised. One of the simplest of these is a tiny hole in an opaque glass. This can greatly improve the vision of someone with a markedly deformed eye, or with a marked scarring of the cornea (the win dow of the eye). One such man with pin-hole glasses is now able to read. Some persons with a markedly deformed . cornea are greatly helped by the use of contact glasses especially de signed for them. There are a number of low priced telescopes which enable some people to read. Some per sons with only a trace of vision can see well enough to travel about unaided, but they can't read street signs or the signs on buses. These persons can sometimes use a pocket tele scope. For people who have trouble with near vision there are at least five devices which magni fy the image. Naturally, with some of these, the field of vision is so restricted that the person can see only a few letters or words at a time. With devices that produce a high magnifica tion of the image, one can use only one eye at a time. Wide Field of Vision Some special lenses have been devised to give a high magnifi cation but, at the same time, a fairly wide field of vision. As the magnification increases, the reading material has to be brought closer and closer to the eye, and this can interfere wit.i the lighting of the page. Many persons who have great diffi culty in reading can use only their better eye and then they must often get rid of the blurred image of the other eye. This can be done better with a powerful lens than with an opaque piece of glass; the cosmetic result is better. At the "Chicago Lighthouse" a triple aplanat (a common type of small magnifying unit) is the favorite appliance for people this, some of them can read even fine print. These magnifying lenses are now being made so light that they can be worn as spectacles. Today, in several big cities, there are places to which the almost-blind can go to get studied and fitted with a special combination of lenses. An ex pert will spend perhaps four hours studying a man and then, for from $75 to $95, he may be able to fit an appliance that will enable him to read. Social Security Office Receives Many Inquiries Recent inquires received by the Medford office of the Social Security administration indicate that some misunderstanding ex ists regarding the recent in crease in social security taxes, according to W. V. Nusbaum, district manager. Effective Jan. 1, 1957, the so cial security tax for employees was raised from 2 per cent of the gross wage to 214 per cent. Also the tax on self-employed persons was raised from 3 per cent to 3 38 per cent of taxable earnings. The maximum wages or net earnings from self-employment taxable for social se curity purposes remains at $4, 200 per year, he said. The social security tax in crease goes into a new trust fund from which disability bene fits will be paid starting n July of this year. All expenses of ad ministration, as well as benefit payments for both programs, will be allocated to the two trust funds, he said. By July 1, 1957, Nusbaum stated, there will be approxi mately ,$327 million in the dis- NEWS NOTES from Medford High School Edited by James Boyd; staff: Jacque Colton and Linda Robertson After weeks of suspense, the Jnior Senior Prom arrived last night. As the formally dressed couples stepped inside the trans formed boys' gym, they were greeted at the door by comical elves. Now they knew that the rumors they had heard about a calypso theme were quite untrue. They were enveloped in a glow of soft blue lights and a star studded sky with spun glass clouds. A huge mural of quaint fairyland characters proclaimed the theme in glittering letters Fantasia! A group of people clustered in the far corner of the room might have caught a couple's eye. The excitement was over a small pond with colored lights re volving below the surface of the water. The charming effect was completed with lily pads floating about and a small frog perched on the bank. Couples danced to the music of the Bob Anderson Trio plus two. Above the circular band platform, a pink and white can opy of crepe streamers slowly revolved. ' Soon, an intermission gave an opportunity to survey the dec orations of the junior class. Sev eral trellises stood behind an old fashioned garden. Multicol ored flowers blossomed in the plots while fuzzy honeybees and jeweled butterflies hovered over head. Knee-high dwarfs were stationed here and there as if caring for the garden. Angel hair and glitter added richness to the scene. The center of attraction was the throne. It was a gigantic blooming flower with silver sta mens sprouting from the center of is pink petals. The exquisite flower provided a frame for the Prom Queen selected by the sen ior class. A large amount of material was used in the decorations. The starry sky took about 3,500 feet of crepe paper and it was esti mated that nearly 7,000 pink paper napkins were used to make the throne and decorate I the bandstand. Each of the 7,000 i napkins was divided into four . sections each of which had to be placed by hand.. Voting for the outstanding senior girl and boy took place during the senior class assembly last Thursday. Nominees for the girls were Jacque Colton, Joyce Gregory, Pat Leek and Sally Ross. For the boys, James Boyd, Bill Frake, Dick McLoughlin and Neil Plumley vied for the honor. The results wil be announced the night of commencement.

Smith was sworn into office Friday in a ceremony attended by his family, members of the Oregon bar, and high-ranking members of the Catholic clergy in Oregon. Langley made no attempt to interfere with the swearing-in ceremony personally but outlin ed his objections through a let ter from his attorney, K. C. Tan ner. The letter said Langley is the rightful officeholder pend ing action by the Oregon Su preme Court on his appeal from a neglect of duty conviction. The ceremony was attended by Smith's wife, his mother, 83-year-old Mrs. Frank L. Smith, and his sister, Mrs. Allen Myers. The Catholic church was rep resented by Archbishop Edward D. Howard,Msgr. Thomas J. To bin and the Rev. George Camp bell. As his first official act, Smith reappointed as his deputies the attorneys who had served under Langley.
