ADVERTISED ITEM POLiCY • -- v >T" SEdiON I - PACE 2 - P1AINDKAI.FR . WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11. 1W7 ••I*. - free# Viewing Of Eclipse Most Dbnqerous To Ey Dp? on Wednesday, Oct. 12, is a saltfom seen phenomenon -an eclipse of the sun, partially visile in varying degrees over mo$t of the United States, in­ cluding Alaska and Hawaii. Th%; National Society for the Prevention of Blindness caiftions those anxious to see thifij fascinating event that direct viewing can result in seritus eye injury, even blind- ne* "J^any people are under the falsi; assumption that it is safe to watch the partial phase of an eclipse," said the National Softy's executive director, Virginia S. Boyce. "This is a dangerous fallacythe partial phsype.is -tbe more dangerous to view. Even though only a portion of the sun remains visile, the light coming through has full intensity and can . burn the retina, the delate back layer of the eye thai; transmits images to the bra'in. The principle is similar to the way a magnifying glass carvt>urn a bole in a piece of paggr with the sun's rays refracted on the paper." Fainting to the hazards of direct viewing of the sun on a regular" day, the, Society wanis of the special danger the eclipse. "The sun's Jit rays prevent us from gazipg directly on a regular day," Mrs. Boyce said. "During an eclipse, these rays art* progressively blocked, making it easier to look directly at (he sun. Invisible, dangerous infra-red rays continue to be enfitted, and can'bum the eyes instantaneously, without your befog aware of it. Burns to the retina are incurable and can produceblind spot in the victam's-fieldaf vision - in the vital-area used for reading and clot* wonk..'^ -v ;.•••• Die Society warns there is no safer way to 'view the eclipse dirfcftiy. Results of a survey conducted by the National Society following the March 7, I97toeclipse reported a total of 143!tases of solar retinopathy (eetypse burn of the retina) in the United States. Of those caass reported, almost 60 peoqent of the injuries to the eylts results from direct viewing of the sun during the ecipse. v „ Sunglasses, . goggles, , smoked glass filters or home­ made viewing devices cannot giw& theeyea 100, percent protection f*qm the harmful raj»»«f, Mrs. Bqype , said. "Watching the eclipse . diipctly, -even for a quick mqfgent, could mean serious prsblems for the careless observe?*." . < Estimated times for the Oct. 12firtial eclipse are 5:30 p.m. onifte east coast and 4:30 p.m. onUhe west coast. The moon passing between the earth and sun will hide approximately 13- 20]«>ercent of the sun from vie0»; western states will ex­ perience a greater percentage of Adlipse than eastern states.
