N., McHenry, recently completed a week-long course on Vision Screening which was given by Vision Consultant Miss Catherine Higgins, Illinois Department of Health. • Huntley school played host to ie McHenry county school •ses who participated in the course which was developed at, the request of school nurses in Illinois. Until the, ultimate aim of a' professional eye examination for each school child is reached, vision screening is essential in promoting eye health for students. The Illinois Department of Health's purpose for vision screening is to find the child who is in need of a complete eye examination and, through -a referral process, insure that the. child's eyes are examinedbyan eye doctor. C Each year three of these courses are offered to school and public health nurses to vision screening. Half of the class time is devoted to practical experience in working with children. During the other part of the course, the nurses give their attention to developing the administrative procedures and improving skills and techniques in working with approved stereoptical instruments. Nurses who attended the Huntley course used two of the three approved instruments. Referrals, follow-up procedures, and statistical studies were other topics stressed In the vision school. This was the first time the vision course was conducted in McHenry county. Due to the widespread interest among the McHenry county school nurses, another week-long course is ^planned for next spring or summer.

T > at a restaurant over hanging the beach with the surf crashing directly under our table. Then our next experience was the fabulous Los Angeles, itself, with its confusing network of freeways which can be a nightmare to a stranger. After checking in at a downtown hotel the boys planned to spend the next two days, taking in Hollywood and places of interest. We attempted to reach Forest Lawn Cemetery. We inquired about the directions and received instructions which were virtually impossible to follow but we finally reached our destination in time to witness the last hourly presentation of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. These are mammoth paintings housed in their own buildings and are very impressively displayed with an appropriate recording and lighting effects. We also saw the famous Last Supper stained glass window which was displayed in the same manner. It was interesting to see the vaults of various famous people in the Mausoleum there. We then started for Long Beach where we were to spendthe next few days with friends of ours. The boys then returned to their hotel in downtown L.A. IT PAYS TO SHOP IN McHENRY I yaw & urns I TROOP 131 pointing turnout for the court of honor Monday night. Must have been the same bug that ?kept your reporter at home. My thanks to Committeeman Bob French for taking notes and calling them in. The pancake fiesta day was a big, big success. We cleared oyer $300 and I know there will be a lot of happy kids over at Lake Bluff this Christmas, We have a lot of people to thank for this joint effort--too many to /list individually but the Methoi dist Men wanted a special note to the Explorers, Scouts and Webelos of 131 for the great job they did. Without you fella's, it could never have been done. The true spirit of scouting was exhibited. Sure you were tired, but you stayed in there to the last, even to clewing up the mess in proper scouting tradition. The Methodist Men also appreciate the public's cooperation and patience. Some had to wait a considerable length of time but to my knowledge, no one {left angry or hungry. Now for the court of honor. t Ken Betts, a hard working Explorer not too far from the Eagle award, earned merit badges in Citizenship in the Nation, Citi- Expressions denoting shyness, doubt, queszenslup in the Community and Zoning and impatience can be seen on the faces Public Speaking. 0f these four youngsters as they take their place Other hard working Scouts re- . ceiving awards were Bruce Walters, First Class; Kurt Kreim- »ier, First Class and a merit ' badge in swimming; Gary Reinwall, First Class and a merit badge in camping. Tenderfoot awards went to Ron Stein, Keith Bates, Jim and Scott Chestler. Congratulations, Scouts. I: Another unexpected award was presented to Scoutmaster &tu Hoak.

A vote *was taken and the unanimous ^decision was to award the gift to the surprised and grateful scoutmaster. Since there will not be another* meeting until after Christmas, the troop committee and all the Scouts of Troop 131 unite in wishing everyone the joy and blessing of Christmas. in a long line awaiting that all-important interview with Santa at his hut in the city park.
