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 Takes OA's
Office in Porilahd
Portland (U.R) Leo Smith
was new district attorney of
Multnomah county Saturday but
his authority to hold office was
challenged by his predecessor,
ousted William Langley.
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
