Is the examination a complete com-plete one, the same as given by your doctor? A. No. The" test given at the amblyopia clinic is for "lazy eyes'r or muscle weaknes only. Q. Why is the examination considered worthwhile? A. Even a careful and observant ob-servant parent may" not detect amblyopia. The child does not always reveal the fact that he , is not using his lazy eye and Battle , Well sir, as the Democrats sang in their Atlantic City convention, con-vention, "Happy Days are Here Again." That's for sure, for it's the time of the Big Promise, and you can bank on that, r Candidates on both sides of the political fence are really going go-ing all out, promising everything. every-thing. You name it and you can get it, the promise, that is. Senator Goldwater promises if elected, to cut income taxes five per cent each , year f or , five years. Without getting his second wind, he goes on to say, that at the same time, he will balance the federal budget and pay off a little on the principal. That would certainly be. a feat of financial ledgerdemain, if and when he did it President Johnson to date has said nothing about balancing the budget. In fact,- the weight ; of federal eixpenditures over federal revenues seems to trouble the Democrats not at all. "Why worry," .they ask. i gleefully, "don't we really Just owe the money to ourselves?' However, President Johnson is lashing the soon to expire National Congress to pass bills, which he says will abolish poverty, pov-erty, give hospital care to the f aged, provide a college education educa-tion for the youth and help cit- ' ies who are hard pressed for, nt I" v-:' i I ; - ' " 1 i .

If the volunteer workers find certain tendencies or symptoms it is reported to the parents and suggested that they have the child checked by their eye doctor. Very often eye exercise exer-cise is all that is required. Q. Why the early age? A. Treatment before entering school is most valuable for two .reasons. First, the sooner the eye muscles are helped the better. bet-ter. Second, in school the eyes are used more and without proper correction weak eyes will, have great difficulty. Q. Have any cases been found so far? A. In Utah County last year there were 32 cases found and referred to parents and doctors. doc-tors. Q. What is the age for the . eyes to be tested for amblyopia? amblyo-pia? A. Ages 3, 4, and 5 years. Q. Is there going to be another an-other clinic in the Pleasant Grove area this year? A.

In addition, he has promised prom-ised Union Leaders that he will look the other way, during their wage-increase battles with Big Business. , And as a final gesture of public pub-lic interest, President Johnson his recommended the reopen- " ing of the "Bobby Baker Case." No doubt it will only be sweetened sweet-ened up with another coat of whitewash. But it will take a "few degrees of campaign heat off the Democratic administration. administra-tion. V Anyway you look at it, all the proposals and promises add up to quite a passel of vote-getting propaganda. And would be all to the good, too, except for one little item, to wit: The bill would be paid by the taxpayers, ; who in most cases, are the voters themselves. ,. One venerable American sage has said that "the politicians right hand giveth, but his left hand taketh away." Time was, that when a candi- date shook hands with his right, he gave the prospective voter a slap on the shoulder with his left, v , Now; he uses his left hand to reach around back and filch a few more tax dollars from the unsuspecting voter's wallet , Some people call this sly maneuver, ma-neuver, "Political Progress." , So long 'til Thursday.
