Department stores and specialty shops begin early to tempt parents to buy. There are too few reminders, however, of how important it is that a child not only look well but SEE well. Less than half of the children coming to school each fall have had a professional eye examination. The Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness suggests that now is a good time to make an appointment with a qualified eye specialist for a complete eye examination. The Illinois society is interested in the educational importance of good vision for your child, as well as-, in the^ early discovery of eye problems which might prove serious. About 85 percent of the child's learning and adjustment to the environment depends upon his nbility to see! If movies or slides, or the words in books and on the blackboard are blurred or out-of-focus, the child is handicapped in learning from them. Fortunately, most of the visual problems found in school children today are easily correctable with glasses. These -classes can make the difference between success and fail - ire in school.

FEDERAL LAW STATES RULES FOR HIRING CHILDREN Vacation Travelling a total of some 2300 miles in one week is quite a feat, one which Earl and Bernice Fry and children have just completed on their vacation. Their first stop was a visit to Earl's folks who live in Norristown, Pa., a small town about seventeen miles from Philadelphia. They also spent some time with Earl's uncle who has spent many a vacation here. While there they visited several historical landmarks -including Washington's home in Valley Forge. By going just 100 miles out of their way on the trip back they visited the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Arriving in the evening enabled them to see them in all their glory under lights and then in daylight the next morning. All this was a lot to cram into one week but it was well worth it. SELECT JURY Grand jurors for the September term were appointed last week by the county board. They include Harvey Biggers and Frank Wendt from Mc- Henry township on the regular panel and Carl Hallstrom and Herbert Barry on the supplemental panel. With summer nearly gone and school days just around the corner, businessmen and farmers who hired school children during the summer vacation, were urged to encourage teen-agers to go oack to school; Earl F. Halverson, regional director of the U.S. Labor department's wage and hour division, pointed out that many leen-agers may be tempted to quit school and continue to work at their summertime jobs. Others may try to work a full shift, in addition to s c h o q l . He e x p l a i n e d t h a t youngsters may be lawfully hired for a variety of jobs, but reminded employers who hire teen-agers this fall for full or part-time work about the childlabor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act -- the Federal Wage and Hour LaW. "Boys and girls 16 years of age and over can work under the Fair Labor Standards act in any job -- factories, wholesale houses, communications or other industries -- except those which have been declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor," Halverson said. Thirteen hazardous occupations orders have been issued which prohibit the employment of minors under 18 years of age. The prohibited jobs include work as driver or a driver's helper, elevator operator, of certain power-driven machinery, and most jobs in logging and sawmilling. "Although the law prohibits the employment of children under 14, the 14-or 15-year-old may be lawfully employed in office and sales work, fruit and vegetable packing sheds, and in a few other jobs -- excluding work in manufacturing, mining, processing or similar jobs," Halverson added.

He showed her around the countryside, and did so well he added more* animals and toured a large menagerie. Several of his neighbors copied him, and the section of the country around Somers became known as the cradle of the American Circus. Old Bet was shot down in Maine by an irate farmer, and Bailey erected a statue to her memory that still stands in Somers. * 1840 -- In the mid 1800's, numerous small "mud shows" toured the country, moving the show on horse-drawn wagons, and driving their few head of stock overland. They showed in canvas side-walled enclosures, and if it rained there was no show unless a vacant hall could be II found. The Shows were ballyhooed by an advance man and a clown. The agent traveled a week or so ahead placing posters' in taverns and stores. On show day, the clown gathered a crowd with his antics in the village green and would lead the assemblage to the circus. 1882 -- Five unknpwn brothers from Baraboo, Wisconsin started' a new era in the circus business in 1882 when they combined their meager resources and opened the Ringling Bros. Classic and Comic Concert Company, a small vaudeville show. After two seasons, they had saved about $1,000 and took the plunge into a tent circus with^ the title of "The Yankee Robinson & Ringling Bros. Great Double Show, Circus & Caravan". From these humble beginnings grew a show that paced the Circus world for three-quarters of a century. 1920 -- In the Heyday of the American Circus, shows in America grew to unbelievable sizes and numbers. Presenting shows in as many as five rings, with hundreds of head of horses, as many as fifty elephants, and outstanding features from the four corners of the world. Prominent titles of the dayt-were Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey, Adams Forepaugh, Sells-Floto, and many more. These shows moved by railroad and a few more tried out the new method of truck transportation, without knowing that within 3 decades, every circus in the country would have abandoned rails for the more economical motorized equipment. 1956 -- On July 16, 1956, on a drab lot at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey Circus struck its Big Top for the last time. Management trouble combined with increasing costs and labor troubles made the "big one" declare that the "Tented circus is a thing" of the past". Spectacular failures of two other circuses I ' in 1956 brought much press comment, and the entire nation mourned for the loss of a great American Institution. However, even in these dark days, many shows with modern methods toured profitably and kept alive the thrills of circus day for "Children of all ages". WSJDRY ©f TH£ AMERICA tS • .J.. emr'mbY. & 1959 -- The Circus is far from dead. Out of an era of dying Big Tops; Adams Bros. & Seils Bros. Combined Circus plunged heavily for the 1959 Season. With an all £ new Blue and White Striped Big Top and a fleet of the most modern motorized equipment, drawing personnel^, from throughout the realm of circusdom . . . this show is the 79th Circus to tour the Ration from their quarters in the State of Wisconsin. The management believes that "As long as there are children, and as long as circuses offer a strong program of entertainment at low family prices, the circus will never die". ?ii mm iros.,1 seils nos.
