Telephone Pioneers
sponsor eye tests
The Telephone Future
Pioneers, in conjunction with
the Georgia Society for the
Prevention of Blindness, is
sponsoring a pre-school
screening free of charge for
area pre-school children.
This eye examination is
required to enter school.
Message to teachers and parents
In preparation for the eye test we will be conducting, some
prior training of the children in playing the "E" game
would be very helpful and facilitate the time it takes for us to do
the tests Your cooperation is greatly appreciated
First, explain that you are going to play a pointing game"
with him (Don't coax him If he doesn't want to play, choose
another time )
Show him the big ' E" and teach him to point like it 'points"
when held in the four different directions (Up. Down, Right,
and Left—See drawings below)
Say to him "point like this " Show him if he needs help
Continue until he can point in the four directions without help
Praise him each time he responds, even if the answer is wrong

Grandsons act like
Cain and Able
By Abigail Van Buren
© 1977 by Chicago Tribune N Y News Synd Inc.
DEAR ABBY: My son brings his two children over here
and leaves them with me all day. They are both boys, ages
5 and 7, and they are a handful!
I know boys will be boys, but these two are unbelievable.
The competition between them is terrific, and the fighting
and yelling really get on my nerves.
I’ve tried to reason with the boys, but while I’m talking,
their eyes reveal that each is contemplating where he can
hit his brother where it will hurt the most. Even my large
dog cowers in a corner of the garage for the day.
Don’t tell me that I need a man around the house. I AM
the man. Why can’t they act like brothers?
GRANDPA: LAGUNA BEACH
DEAR GRANDPA: They ARE acting like brothers.
(Cain and Abel.l Competition and a certain amount of scrap
ping and yelling is normal for siblings of that age, but if
they get on your nerves, ask your son not to leave the boys
in your care until they shape up.
DEAR ABBY: My wife reads your column religiously,
and I read it when she makes me. She has a 46-year-o)d
brother we think should be married. He is good looking,
dresses well, drives an expensive car, and has a secure job,
money in the bank and a pleasing personality.
We have fixed him up with lots of dates. He always en
joys himself, but unless someone arranges a date for him,
he is just as happy being without one. I thought maybe you
had a list of Lonely Hearts’ Clubs we could draw from. We
don't know any more eligible ladies he hasn’t taken out.
Thank vou.
S AlCl IN MPLS.
DEAR SAM: Show me a good-looking, 46-year-old
bachelor with a secure job, pleasing personality, money in
the bank, a good wardrobe and an expensive car, and I’ll
show you a man who can find his own wife—if he wants
one, that is.
DEAR ABBY: My parents have been married 26 years,
and they've been through a lot together—more good than
bad. Mother has had 15 pregnancies, of which six children
lived. But now she has a new problem —alcohol!
Dad had an ulcer operation and had to file bankruptcy.
He is also an alcoholic, but he's not as bad as Mom.
I am the oldest child and have a family of my own. But
seeing my parents this way now makes me sick. Mother
wants a divorce. Dad really loves her and has tried to make
things better. He has talked with each of us older children,
but I just don’t know' what to say.
They both told me when I married that “marriage is no
bed of roses: it’s only as good as you make it." Why can't
parents practice what they preach?
I don’t want to see them divorced. (They still have a boy,
9, and a girl, 4, at home.) How can I snap them out of this
mess?
TROUBLED
DEAR TROUBLED: As long as your parents are looking
for answers in alcohol, they'll pay little attention to your
pleas. Urge them to call Alcoholics Anonymous. (They're
listed in the phone book.) If your parents can handle this
one major problem, all the others will be much easier to
solve.
