program and was followed by
prayer led by Rev. R. H. Arm-
strong. Miss Zina L. Hopwood,

sharing their talent, to that of the
apostle Paul when he heard the
Macedonian call, "Come over
into. Macedonia and help us".

Amen", was given by the choir,
followed by the ladies' double trio
who sang "In The Image of God".
Theaudience was delighted
with the selections from two
junior choirs. Mrs. John
McKague led the mixed choir of
juniors aged six to ten from the

Glainoma survey to be
held in Wingham
Glaucoma is a leading cause of
blindness in Canada, states a
report from the Canadian Insti-
tute -For The Blind. This eye dis-
ease was responsible for 10 per
cent of all cases of blindness last
year. It need not have been, as
glaucoma can be detected by a
simple test and, in most cases,
can be treated with medication or
surgery.
In order to detect this disease,
a glaucoma survey will be held at
Wingham on the C.N.I.B. Ontario
Mobile Eye Care Unit. The brief;
painless test is available free of
charge to the people of this com-
munity.
Glaucoma is a serious eye
condition in which the pressure of
the eye is increased, which slowly
damages the optic nerve and
retina. In the early stages of
glaucoma there may be few or no
symptoms but there are warning
signals in that you may note that:
spectacles, even new ones, do not
seem to help; you have increas-
ing difficulty seeing in the dark;
side vision is diminished in one or
both eyes. There is rarely pain
involved and often the gradual
loss of sight is not noted at the
outset.
Victims of glaucoma may
eventually notice blurred eye -

sight, rings around lights and loss
of side vision. The initial loss can7
not be regained but it is possible
to prevent further damage. If
glaucoma is neglected, vision is
progressimely reduced and the
person becomes blind.
, However,. if detected early,
chronic glaucoma can usually be
effectively controlled by the
simple use of drops. In the later
stages, surgical procedures_ are
used to assist natural clrainage
within the eye. The iniportant
thing is to discover glaucoma
'early.
The survey is a special Preven-
tion of Blindness Programme,
.sponsored by the Huron County
Sean Unit, C.N.I.B., the section,
of Opthahnology, OMA and com-
mtmity groups. The glaucoma
survey will be held at Clinton on

Parents hear
superintendent
of programs
On Thursday evening A. J.
Easton, superintendent of pro-
grams for the Huron -Perth
Separate Schools spoke to about
30 parents at Sacred Heart School
on "The Kindergarten Curri-
culum". He said that children
learn by play, so ample time
should be allowed for just that.
This can take place in centres
sUch as housekeeping, blocks,
painting, etc. During this time,
the teacher watches the child de-
velop in certain areas and helps
him with his difficulties. Because
each child comes to school with a
different level of maturity, physi-
cally, mentally and emotionally,
each one develops at his own
rate. He suggests that parent
volunteers can be a big help both
in the classroon and on excur-
sions. Much can be learned out-
side the classroom such as visit-
ing a farm or someone's home.
Mr. Eastort spoke strongly in
favour of Junior Kindergarten
and hopes that the Huron -Perth
Board will be able to start them
in the not too distant future.
A question and answer period
followed after which coffee and
cookies were served.
