Bifocal troubles are highly
rated. Most people have no dif-
ficulty at all. For those who
do. it is a popular American sport

answer will be “Bifocals, of
course.”

shed, according to an announce-
ment by John Crownover. K
A group of colored slides show-
ing the effects of such a program
on a similar watershed in Okla-

by a tape recording of a speech
made by L. L. Males, Oklahoma

These slides and the recording,
known as the Sandstone creek

the United States, and Males has
become widely known for his ef-
forts in getting the Sandstone

Everyone interested in the
