Eye Care Program Paying Off With Increases in Production
By HENRY J. BECHTOLD
UPI Financial Editor
New York -flJPIP More and
more business firms are find
ing out that eye testing and
eye care pay
off in dollars
' and cents.
Recent re

sults of well

showed, pro
d u c t i o n in-
Bechtoid creases of 15
to 20 per cent; sharp reduc
tion in spoilage and breakage:

$25 Billion Each
Year on Health
' ; Washington -JSn ,A. two
year. Senate study just com
. pleted shows U. S. citizens
spend $25 billion , a year on
their health. .
Of this sum, only $2.50 of
every $100 was spent for re
search to detect diseases and
other health hazards before
;they strike.
The study, prepared by a
government . operations sub-
committee under Sen.. Hubert
W "PTumnhfav YTVlWInri rstvpfi
" the first ."big picture" of gov
. eminent and private activity
; in the health field. , . . .
; ' Many Agencies Involved
. ' It shows, for example, that
IrVjilne cabinet departments and
' 15 agencies and commissions
K are involved in some phase of
; health. These range from the
S" $5.3 million needed for medi
' ear care of federal prisoners
f ' t -'several thousand dollars
being spent by the Fish- and
-' Wildlife Bureau to study can
' cer in fish. .
3 ' The federal government
last year spent $4.1' billion,
? $1 of every $20 in the budg-
eti for a great vaiety of neaitn
needs. ... .. i
Sick Leave Costly
The total included $1.1 bil
lion to care for sick soldiers,
sailors, airmen and their de
pendents, mostly in hospitals.
Short-term " sick leave for
federal employes cost me tax
' payers $315 million according
to the study. Federal workers
average 7.7 days of paid leave
. for short-term illnesses.
This meant that about 75,
000 of the government's civ
ilian workers reported sick
on an average wwm"
Pliability expensive
The report also showed that
' disease and . disability prob
ably costs Americans $35 bil
' lion a year. All through the
report runs thie theme that ex
- penditures for health are for
. mnra man. Bnvnm exuwicu.
' . The- report said Congress
' had lost control over govern-
: . ment health outlays because
-; of "serious flaws" in account-
ing and reporting by govern
:, ment agencies.

This, he said, has brought
about a mild revolution in the
prescription and use of multi
focal lenses, especially for oc
cupational wear. ,
And with machinery be
coming more complex -t and
automation reducing the num
ber of operators needed per
machine, visual demands on
each operator are Increasing,
Barber declared. :
But he added that it is not
only in the plant that multi
ple vision is required - offi
ces make many similar de
mands. A typical desk work
er needs sharp, near vision to
examine great quantities of
reading material, much of it
in fine print. ' . '
