Citizen, Patriot- SaboteurHis two sons enlist-

78 c~~~dthe daiy afterPearl Harbor. He

invests io% of his weekly pay check inWar Bonds. His job is a vital link in theproduction of war material. No man can

put more intensity of purpose into hisefforts to serve America.

Yet this Soldier of Production unwit-tingly can commit sabotage againstAmerica as serious as that of any bomb-planting secret agent. His eyesight is let-ti ng hnin dozwn-letting America down.

He's always taken for granted theaccuracy of his vision. He scarcely real-izes that now he does not see sharply atclose range.Modern fighting machines are preci-

sion equipment. The product of manyhours of finest workmanship can go to thescrap pile as the result of a single faultyvisual impression.

Today America needs vision at its bestas never before. Bringing vision to its bestis the life work of a great corps of men, inyour community and every community,

who are skilled in the measurement of vis-ual performance, trained and experiencedin scientific correction of eyesight defi-ciencies. Their professional and technicalservices are invaluable to America today.How long since you've had your eyes

examined?

In 1915, "PYREX"` brand LaboratoryGlassware was announced. Less than150 items were listed but, throughCorning Research, America was on itsway to independence from foreignsources of supply.

In the past quarter of a century,America's chemists and scientists havecontributed to our chemical independ.ence. And COrning Research in Glasshas helped to make us independent inlaboratory glassuwre.Today, in Catalog LP21, are listed

more than 2700 laboratory glasswareitems. They provide laboratory tech.nicians with the equipment for moreaccurate, faster, and better work.

DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE, AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE OF TEXAS,COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS

WHEN the Morrill Act was passed by our UnitedStates Congress and approved by Abraham Lincolnin 1862, it brought into the world the first truly demo-cratic program of higher education. It announced tothe world that the people of this country believedthat the son of the farmer, the son of the mechanicand the son of the shopkeeper were just as muchentitled to an education in an institution of higherlearning as the son of the independent rich. It also
