Show Danish Radio Boys Choir to Sing at Kingsbury Hall Success Rests With Individual In THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1973 Page Two Battle Against Blindness Though preventive medicine has only come to the fore in recent years as the practical solution to many of our health problems, the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness has the unique position of recognizing and promoting the concept from the early 1900s. Even then, says Virginia S. Boyce, executive director of the Society, we realized prevention was the only workable way to eliminate so much of the blindness that occurred. In many other instances, treating the existing condition is an acceptable and in some cases the only solution. But once blindness exists, most times there simply is no cure. The Society, now celebrating its 65th anniversary, is the only voluntary health agency nationally engaged in preventing the blindness and promoting good eye health and safety practices. It serves the country through the Utah Society for the Prevention of Blindness and 22 other state affiliates. Propelling the Society is the fact that of the 44,000 Americans who will go blind this year half will lose their sight needlessly, despite present knowledge and means available to prevent it. To reduce this grim statistic calls for extensive community involvement. Thousands of volunteers, working directly for the Society through supporting service organizations, implement the many service programs now aimed at detecting vision prob- - lems and potentially blinding diseases. But, if the successes are evi- dent, the need to reach more people, to make them aware that preventive care is critically important is even more apparent. 0 Because this year another Amreicans will go blind and though we have the knowledge and the means to prevent it, half of them will lo3e their sight nedlessly. Preventing blindness is a positive, workable solution. Its success rests on increased public education, community programs, and research, and the funds to make them possimle. And more, it rests on the involvement of each and every one of us. 44,-00- . i! mi The Danish Radio Boys Choir, known throughout Scandinavia as Radiodrengekoret, will kick off the University of Utah Division of Continuing Education's cultural season as a special attraction in Kingsbury Hall Monday 'October 1.

And they share in common a healthy interest in breakfast Rare is the dog or cat that isnt wildly interested in a good breakfast. Why must we humans be so jaded, or so stupid? And normally, active pets dont have weight control problems. Statistics indicate, as Ive said again and again in this column, that people perform better at work and at school if they eat a good breakfast There are even statistics to show that safety performance is better among workers who eat breakfast Thus it is that breakfast programs are growing both in industry and in schools. Many Choices There are so many foods to choose from for breakfast: Theres sausage or bacon, eggs, buttered toast, hot or dry cereals, pancakes, waffles, fruit juices and other fruits and berries with cream, as well as beverages such as milk, cocoa made with milk, coffee or tea. Or if the kids want variety, let them, have a hamburger, egg sandwich, or cheeseburger. Its all excellent food. |
