The change was due to other activities under way at the cen- ter. The Army building will be the scene of. all future social gatherings. The parties are held each week for the purpose of entertaining enlisted personnel of the various government forces here. Friends of the service men are also also invited. The events are sponsor- ed by WPA Recreation Division. Soldiers directed the square dancing last night and games and musical mixers were greatly en- joyed. Highlight of the evening was a Conga Parade with Misses Josephine Ubieta, Marie Farto, Hilda Yado and Beatrice Moreno as leaders. Since the parties are expected to be continued at the Army Hall on Monday nights, service men and their friends are asked to request activities they enjoy most by contacting Mrs. Eva B. Warner, recreation director. Pro- grams will be arranged in the fu- ture to conform to the requests. | | Couple Married Here Yesterday Robert V.

DEFECTIVE VISION OF PUPILS GIVEN MORE ATTENTION LEWIS H. CARRIS GIVES AD- DRESS ON PREVENTION OF BLINDNESS AT EDUCATION- AL MEETING (Special to The Citizen) TAMPA, Fla, March 25.— More than 600 elementary and high school pupils in Florida have such seriously defective vision as to require the sp 1 facilities and special teaching methods used in “sight-saving classes,” in order that they may take the fullest advantage of the educa- tional program and, at the same time, conserve their remaining sight, said Lewis H. Carris, of New York City, Director Emeri- tus of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, in an address here at the annual mect- ing of the Florida Education a sociation. Mr. Carris made t estimate on the basis of the Flor- ida school population and his ex- perience in the movement for conservation of vision throughout the country. “Unfortunately,” he said, are no sight-saving c : Florida as yet, but interest in this subject has been | indicated re- cently in Mjami and in Tampa Such classes are yow maintained in 218 communities throughout the United States, with a total en- rollment of more than 8,000 school children; but there are approxi- mately 50,000 boys and girls who need these special educational facilities. “In sight-saving classes, the books are usually in large type and much of the work is done on the blackboard. Suitable and desks are used, and particular care is exercised in regard to the lighting angements in the classroom. Every child is taught the touch system on the type- writer as soon as possible, so that the eyestrain of handwriting may be avoided.” Farsightedness is the common visual defect American school children, a ing to Mr. Carris.
