3-D Movies Don't
Ilurt-Docs Say
If you’ve been hesitating to at¬
tend the new three dimensional
motion pictures because of fear
for your eyes, fear no longer, ad¬
vises Dr. Jack Runninger, Rome,
president of the Georgia Optom
etric Association. As far as eye
care is concerned, he declares,
you’ll be doing yourself a service
to see at least one 3-D film.
Dr. Runniger pointed out that
new three-dimensional film tech¬
niques have no adverse effect on
the eyes, but persons with uncor¬
rected abnormal vision are likely
to encounter difficulty at the deep
ies. Consequently, they are likely
to discover eye defects which had
heretofore been undetected. He
said 3-D motion pictures may go
a long way toward awakening

Final decisions concerning the
building of a new Convalescent
Hospital w r ere made at the Annual
Meeting of the Board of Trustees
cf Elks’ Aidmore, Inc., held June
persons with eye deficiencies tor
the need for corrective measures.
Three dimensional films require
perfect use of both eyes in order
to secure the proper effect, he de¬
clared, whereas traditional flat
motion pictures can be seen clear¬
ly by persons suffering from min¬
or eye defects.
The ability of binocular coordi¬
nation is required if a person is
to see the “deepies” as they were
intended, and persons with monoc¬
ular vision cannot gain full ap
predation from 3-D films. A one
eyed person, for instance, would
not see stereoscopic films in three
dimensions. His vision would be
limited to a flat palne.
Dr. Runniger added that there
are some persons with both eyes
intact who also cannot appreciate
3-D films. These are individuals
who lack the ability of binocular
fusion (stereopsis). Persons who
don’t possess steropsis never feel
they miss anything until the en
counter stereoscopic movies, he
declared.
13, 1953 in Atlanta, Georgia. The
new building will accomodate 64
beds for Geor ^ ia cri PP led children,
| | 4() £ or w hite children and 24 for
Negro children. The building which
will cost an estimated $438,000.00,
with equipment costing an addi¬
tional $58,000,000, is to be built on
2.3 acres of land adjoining the
Emory University campus in De
Kalb County.
The Elks, a fraternal organiza¬
tion, are known throughout the
nation for their patriotism and
charity. Each lodge has one or
more charitable projects locally
and in addition all the lodges in
the state join together to support
one major charity of the Elks of
Georgia since it was founded in
1937 and all the Elks take great
pride in the good work performed
in their institution. Funds for the
opeartion of Aidmore are provided
by the Lodges, their Auxiliaries
and the individual Elks. Each of
the 37 Elk lodges in Georgia has
assumed a voluntary quota of $10
per member to be raised during
the Lodge year for the general op¬
erating fund. Many of the Lodges
exceeded that qdota during the
last Lodge Year with 15 of the
Lodges contributing $10 or more
per member, two lodges over $20
per member and LaGrange Lodge
contributing $30.12 per member.
4288 crippled children have been
admitted to Aidmoie sine it was
founded for a total of 180,958 in¬
patient days. These patients have
been from every county in Geor¬
gia. In addition to the patients ad¬
mitted the Elks also assist crip¬
pled children in other ways with
the funds they contribute to Aid
more.
In Atlanta, clinic space, office
space, some equipment and one of
the paid personnel, are furnished
free to the Crippled Children’s Di¬
vision of the State Health Depart¬
ment. Transportation to and from
clinics and hospitals is paid in
cases where the parents cannot
afford to pay for the trip. During
1952 u total of 896 patients were
transported under this service at
a cost of $8,225.10.
Crippled children who are not
eligible under any other program
and cannot benefit from treatment
in Aidmore are cared for through
a direct Medical Aid Program with
Aidmore paying the cost of hos¬
pitalization in the hospital equip¬
ped to render the service. The
medical fees, if any, are also pay¬
ed by Aidmore. During 1952 a to¬
tal of $5,961.61 was spent in pro¬
viding assistance for 55 children
under this program.
Mr. Carl L. Beard, Aidmore
Trustee from Macon Lodge of the
Elks stated today that they hope
to occupy the new building in
September 1954.
THE LEADER-TRIBUNE — Thursday, July 2, 1953
Letter To Editor
Mr. J. Dawson Kendrick
Fort Valley, Ga.
Daer Mr. Kendrick
My friend Mrs. Allvne Booton
sent my sister Mrs. Mims S. Ware,
a copy of the I^ader-Tribune,
knowing we would be interested in
it.
Your story, “As I Remember”
I was indeed interesting to me, as
I boarded at the house of Mr. and
Mrs. James A. Everett the two
years I taught in Fort Valley 1895-
1897. I have never known a more
delightful family. Pearl and Mal¬
colm were still in school. Jim had)
just entered Tech. The others were
married. Mrs. John Brown an( j
Mrs. Lawrence Grey lived in Fort
Valley, Mrs. J. O. Flournoy and
Mrs. John Ross lived in Macon.
The school was small only
four teachers. Prof. Scroggs, Sup
erintendent, Miss Eva Edwards,
Miss Lee Dunklin and I It was
located on the corner where
Albert Evans later built a hand
some home. Each teacher taught
!.wo grades and helped with high
school. I taught third and fourth
md seventh grade algebra.
The paper was called the Fort
Valley Leader — edited by Mr. i
George Keen, the Methodist mini
ster were Mr. Johnson and Dr.
Lovett. I do not recall others.
I found the people of Fort Val¬
ley very friendly, very religious,
home, loving, and ambitious.
It was a joy to teach there and
the memory of two very happy
years will always be a pleasure to j
recall.
Please remember me to your
wife — who was my classmate and
friend.
Sincerely yours,
Stan Barksdale Miller
