Lions Club Are Co-Sponsor-ing a Free Glaucoma Clinic on Mar. 31 stolen by Glaucoma can't be restored by any method. Early detection and treatment, however, car arrest Glaucoma and blindness can be preven-ted. Dr. Stanford emphasized that persons attending the free clinic will not receive a com-plete eye examination. They will be screened only for.' Glaucoma. After the clinic the Utah Society for the Prevention of Blindness will follow up on those persons whose eye pressure registered higher than normal, encouraging them to see an ophthalmologist for further examination and possible treatment. The Pleasant Grove Lions Club is a free adult Glaucoma screening clinic on March 31st from 7 to 9 p.m. in the American Fork High School, 510 North 600 East in American Fork. The actual screening at the clinic will be done quickly and painlessly by opthalmologists, medical eye doctors, who are experienced in using a Schiotz Tonometer. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness. According to Dr. Gary B. Stanford, President of the Utah Society, approximately 7,500 persons in Utah over the age of 35 have Glaucoma, and many of these persons are not aware of it until considerable vision has been lost. This is because Glaucoma, often called the "Sneak Thief of Sight," can be present without warning symptoms. But, sight Star Spangled Girl on at Alhambra The Alhambra Theater production opened last Monday for a weeks showing of the hilarious Neil Simon's "The Star Spangled Girl", as the story unfolded, the enthusiastic audience responded with an evening of laughter. The fine performances of Joel A. Osborne in the role of Andy, Julie Defriez as The Star Spangled Girl, and Jonathan Stowers as Norman, brought life to the Simon characters. Set in the apartment of Andy and Norman, these two young men are editors of an un-derground magazine called "Fall-out- that they print in their apartment. Here they encounter the All American Girl Sophie. She has moved into the apartment next door. It is instant love for Norman, but Sophie doesn't respond to his interests. The success of the magazine is in jeopardy because of Norman's interest in Sophie. Andy tries to promote the love-matc- h but becomes envolved in a situation which he can't control. This production has been staged many times, but the cast seen on the Alhambra Theater stage are on the top of the best. Backstage, Judy Osborne, as stage manager was successful in her task of providing the lighting, sound and properties. There are over 200 props used in this production, perhaps the most ever used for a single play. "The star Spangled Girl" continues tonight and until March 29th. This is definitely good Family entertainment. Admission Prices are as follows: Adults $2.00, students $1.75, children $1,50, senior citizens $1.50, Monday Family Night $7.00. Group rates are available. Tickets are on Sale at The Theater after 4:00 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling the boxoffice Planning Group Meets to Go Over Applications The preliminary plat was approved for the Craigwood at the March 18th meeting of the planning commission. Jerald Walker met with the commission to find out if it would be possible to build a greenhouse behind his fathers house at 350 North, 350 East. After a discussion and looking at city ordinance 3 section 1 and 2 item E it was decided that this request was not allowable. The City At-torney will be asked for a legal opinion, since it was intended to be a commercial venture. At 8:00 p.m. a meeting was held with the road commission. For some time the need for street name planning has been considered. It was decided that committees will be formed to investigate the various areas of the city, especially east of the canal. Four districts will be formed with Marjorie Woffinden, Delmar Reay, Mary West and Blaine Gray heading the committees. Several suggestions included naming the streets after trees, fruits, indian tribes, or perhaps patriotic names. These names would be fitted in with those existing street names in the areas. Another suggestion that the north south streets be designated as Avenues, east west streets be called drives, and wandering streets could be called lanes. All of the suggestions will be noted when the committees meet on March 30th. When this completed it would make the task of telling someone how to find a street much easier. For instance one would know that all the Indian names would be in the south east part of the city. When possible parrellel streets would be numbered in between the existing street numbers. We would have 730, and 750 east between 7th and 18th east for instance. r i J : I :;; - 1 ;.
