Cherice is an interesting person, her talents are varied and range from comedy to the dramatic. The Escape Lounge, Jet Star, Chances R, Delta Queen, Peaches Back Door, Dino’s Sup per Club, Cross Key’s, and r of course Chat tanooga’s own show bar and supper club, The Powder Puff, are among a few of the places where Cherice has displayed her unequivocal charm and talents. Originally from At hens, Tenn., Cherice is a Capricorn. She enjoys owning arid showing reg istered Apaloosa horses (not in ladies western pleasure, but in the men’s class). How about that? When questioned about men, she answered, “I like my men to be ver satile because I don’t feel like a woman. I am still a man. The only time I am in drag is when I am performing.” Two years experience has taught Cherice to be serious and work hard for any show she is dir ecting or performing with “I am a natural born bitch, and all of my cast members can tell you that; but I really care more for them than they think.” She recently gave up her chance in the competition of the first official Miss Gay Chat tanooga pageant to be mistress of ceremonies, and lend more than a helping hand in organi zing and seeing to it that Chattanooga’s first offi cial pageant was the suc cess that it proved to be. Her greatest ambition is to have a complete love affair. Well Cherice, to coin a phrase, “you got what it takes,” so it’s just a matter of time before you experience your greatest ambition. IMPORTANCE OF VISION CARE ‘‘Children o eyes must be thoroughly checked before they are of school age. Edu cation about the eye cannot begin too soon.” (Dr; Morris Fishbein, Medical Editor) ‘‘Nearly half of our pop ulation have some degree of impaired vision. Amer- ; cans go blind at the rate of about 50,000 a year. Nearly ,a quarter of the very young, those under 20, suffer some visual deficiency and, of course, nearly all of those over 60.” “Nearly all children who fail in the first two grades of school do so because of read ing troubles. Vision is very probably the single most important health factor in the conduct of American industry.” (Eric Sevareid, CBS TV Commentator) “...people must' be train ed to wear their eyeglasses, and they must like wearing their eyeglasses. Glasses not worn do hot help people to see...” (H. Lyle-Duerson, Jr., President, Opticians Associ ation of America) “I assure you that it is a demoralizing experience to the ophthalmologist to diag nose the first symptoms of a brain tumor; they show up first in the eye... It’s not a pretty job to have to tell a patient who came in for a routine eye examination tnat he is dangerously ill. But our compensation is that our early diagnosis may pro vide the patient’s only hand hold to survival.” (John R. Fitzgerald, M.D., Ophthal mologist, Rochester, N.Y.) **** * These comments were made at the 1974 Better Vision Institute Washington Conference on Vision Care.
