JOINS TIXAS STATI OfTIC^L
DR. JOHN W. NEEDLES
Texas State Optical
announce Dr. John
Needles joins staff
A man whose name has been
synonymous with Optometry for
many veais has joined the exec-
utive staff of Texas State Optic-
al ns an assistant to the direc-
tors, Dts. S. J. and N. Jay Rog-
ers. Dr. John W. Needles, born
into the Optometric profession
forty-six years ago in Kansas
City, is a spn of the late Dr. Wil-
liam B. Needles, founder of the
Needles Institute of Optometry of
that city and the former Pres-
ident of the Northern Illinois Col-
lege of Optometry. From the time
of graduation from Northern II-
l'nois College in 1932 until now,
Dr. Needles has devoted his en-
tire life to working and studying
in the Optomeiric field.
Dr. Needles embarked upon an
optical career early in life—after
graduating from high school in
Kansas City, he immediately en-
rolled in the Northern Illinois
College of Optorfietry. While at-
tending this school of optometry,
he was associated with the Amer-
ican Optical Company. He later
represented American Optical
Company and traveled the United
States as a special representative
of the Ophthalmic Instrument
Division. After completing his op-
tometric studies at Northern Il-
linois College of Optometry, Dr.
Needles served as an instructor
in that school and eventually es-
tablished the first visual train-
ing (Orthoptics) department and
the first dispensing course ever
offered in any school in the na-
tion. As head of the eye clinic
'department at the college, Dr.
Needles supervised the dispensing,
of glasses to its patients for sev-
eral years and was later respons-
ible for the complete rehabilita-
tion of the school’s entire optical
laboratory.
Just prior to his association
with Texas State Optical, Dr.
Needles was associated with the
Uhleman Optical Company of
Chicago, a firm which has long
been recognized for being out-
standing in the optometric pro-
fession.
Dr. Needles has recently writ-
ten a book on Optical Dispensing
which U Won to bo published for
use in colleges for students and
for optometrists and opticians.
Dr. Needles has written his vast
experience and knowledge into
the contests of this book.
Dr. Rogers said, “With our
- < wth, it has become necessary
that we expand our administrat-
ive staff and we are pleased to
l ave Dr. Needles to assist us in
jur work."
“Texas State Optical had its
beginning in Beaumont in 1935
wh ’i we opened our first office.
During the twenty years of ser-
vice rendered, we have examined
almost three million patients.
Over four-hundred persons are
i.spl yed with TSO of which
sixty-five are licensed Optomet-
i.’ts,” Dr. Rogers concluded.
PAFB exemplifies
slogan ‘‘Power for
Peace” alert unit
Power for peace, the theme for
Armed Forces Day programs at
U. S. military installations all ov-
er the world, is well exemplified
at Perrin Air Force Base by the
Air Defense Alert Unit.
While local citizens attend Per-
rin’s open house from noon to 5
p. m. next Saturday they can feel
3ure the skies above them are
safe, for this outfit shares in the
continental defense of the United
States as an operational compon-
ent of the Air Defense Command
—a 24-hour-a-way seven-days-a-
wcek job.
Around the clock at various
points near Dallas, Texarkana and
Oklahoma Ciity, radar antennas
search the skies for encroach-
ing enemy aircraft. When a
“bogie” or unidentifed aircraft is
picked up on the radar screen the
alarm is sounded in the Perrin
alert hangar where pilots stand
ready to take to the air within
a matter of minutes. Even as the
Klaxon is being sounded, hy-
draulically operated doors of the
hangar swing open, and the air-
craft is readied for take-off before
the pilot climbs into the cockpit.
Not until he is airborne dqes
the interceptor pilot know the ex-
act nature of his mission, his tar-
get or destination. As the plane
leaves the runway, the tower op-
erator relays to the pilot scramble
instructions concerning the course
he is to follow. Each time a pilot
scrambles he never knows wheth-
er his mission is a practice or the
real thing until he hears the
voice from the tower. Practice or
not—he knows his F-8GD carries
a lethal charge of 24 rockets ev-
ery time.
In addition to the mission of
air defense the ADAU performs
other services that are little
known to the general public.
One such service is known as
“save.” For example, a few
weeks ago a student pilot from
Webb Air Force Base, Big Springs
flew into some bad weather over
Perrin and became lost. His dis-
tress signal was answered by a
Perrin alert pilot who guided him
thftmgh the weather lor a si it
letdown at Carswell Air Force
Base near Fort Worth, thus sav-
ing a life.
Under the command of Capt.
Charles H. Allen, the Air Defense
Alert Unit is made up of alert
pilot crews who are instructors
assigned to the 3555th Combat
Crew Training Group. During
their two weeks of temporary du-
ty with the unit, these instructors
become students themselves, learn
ing the operations of an Air De-
fense squadron and increasing
their own proficiency as inter-
ceptor pilots.
Maintenance, electronics and
armament crews are also on tem-
porary duty with the unit from
their regular assignments.

Improved earnings for 1956

Thomas, chairman of the execu-
tive committee, who presided at
the meetings.
Thomas told stockholders he
expected the company’s business
to be “somewhat better” than in
1955.
“There has been a slackening
cent by the end of the year.
“After absorbing the higher lev-
el of wages and these increased
disability payments, it is of bene-
fit to disabled persons under age
65, because it excludes the per-
iod of disability from their soc-
ial security earnings record and
thus protects their retirement and
