Vision and School Achievement?
;
Hv Don Moffatt
The growing child should be examined every year.
Four out of ten grade school children are handicapped
visually for proper school achievement.
Few people in Mill City have any
idea of the cost of vandalism here in
town. While visiting with our Chief
of Police Clarence Meader this week
he aid it cost the city about $400
a year to replace street signs that
have been maliciously destroyed.
That’s quite an item of expense,
which certainly is an unnecessary
one. Meader also would like to see
people quit following the fire trucks
called out on a fire. He said there
is a stiff penalty for following a
fire truck too closely. He also said
many times people crowd in behind
the truck, so volunteer firemen who
do not reach the fire hall in time to
ride the truck have a hard time get
ting close to the fire. A word to the
wise should be sufficient.
According to the Yale University clinic of Child Develop
ment, personality, posture and total life adjustment are
dependent upon vision as the key factor.

“No business man or woman in
any town should allow a newspaper
to go to press without his or her
name and business being mentioned
somewhere in its columns. This does
not mean that you should have a
whole, half or even a quarter page
advertisement in each issue of the
paper, but your name and address

more than a two-line space. A strang
