10,000 people! Yet, 75% of all Americans, who seek vision care,
visit an optometrist for vision care.

Nurse Shortage
In South May
Get Worse
ATLANTA (UPI) — Despite
“great strides” in recent years,
the South still has a critical
nursing shortage and the situa
tion will get worse unless dras
tic steps are taken, the South
ern Regional Educational Board
said Thursday.
The South now averages 198
nurses per 100,000 population
while the national average is
319, said Dr. Hessel H. Flitter
of the University of Kentucky’s
nursing school in a report en
titled “Nursing in the South.”
The report said that by 1975
there will be a need for 450 pro
fessionals per 100,000 population
—and the region will fall far
short of that figure unless an
all-out drive is begun to recruit
more nurses.

Newsmen Urged
To Be Critical Os
So - Called Leaders
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) — An
Ohio editor Thursday urged
newspapermen to become more
critical of so - called leaders,
and said the public shouldn’t be
so critical of the press.
“They (the public) feel that
the civil rights problems would
go away If the press ' did not
cover them,” said James Fain,
editor of the Dayton Daily
News in a speech at the 40th
annual Georgia Press Institute.
He added, however, that the
press does make mistakes in
not being more critical of "so
called leaders.” He said the
credentials of such leaders
should be checked and their
statements investigated.
“Our real mistakes are that

we let, or we permit, a Rap
Brown or a Stokely Carmichael
to have a platform from which
to spout nonsense,” said Fain.
"Why has the American press
relied on official reports as to
the efforts of the Communists
in the civil rights movement?”
Fain asked.
“Sometimes the press dpes
not check into the credentials
of speakers or experts. Some
men are experts in some fields
but only interested parties in
others.”
He cited as an example Dr.
Benjamin Spock — “an expert
in child behavior but only an
interested party in the Vietnam
war and the draft.”
