Armstrong was an Inspiration '
For the Visually
When the Pennsylvania Bureau
for the Visually Handicapped
launched its current “Project
Vision” campaign to find and
help people who have sight
problems, one of its most ardent
boosters was Robert Armstrong,
>44, of Titusville RIM.
Armstrong, who was blinded in
a blasting accident 15 years ago,
became the operator of a suc
cessful woodworking business in
spite of his handicap, and be
credited the Bureau for the
Visually Handicapped with
.giving him the incentive-andlhe
•necessary financial help--to
•undertake such a venture.
In recent months he bad made
several public service radio
commercials urging anyone with
a sight problem to seek the
Bureau’s help, and was planning
to make several public service
television commercials con
taining the same message.
But the day before the camera
crew was scheduled to arrive at
bis woodworking shop to shoot
the commercials, Armstrong was
felled by a stroke.' A little more

than a week later he died.
“Bob had been looking forward
eagerly to making the com
mercial,” said his wife, Jean,
“not because he wanted to be
seen on television, but because he
wanted so very much to have
other visually handicapped
people benefit from the Bureau’s
help, just as he did.
“There won’t be any com
mercial now, but I know what
Bob had planned to say when he
made one, and I’d like to say it for
him: “The only way to accept
any kind of handicap is to try to
understand it, and to live with it.
The Pennsylvania Bureau for the
Visually Handicapped can be the
answer for you to begin a whole
new life that will be richer, fuller,
and yes, happier. I know because
they did this for my husband.”
“If you have a sight problem or
know of anyone who does, please
contact the Bureau by writing to
Vision, Post Office Box 2675,
Harrisburg, Pa., 17120. They will
do everything they possibly can
to help.” The Bureau is an

'' StafHn&. iwvf, Electing and
comparing cuts of meat may be
easier for consumers. Many super
markets and groceries will begin
supporting a new, standardized
nationwide meat labeling system.
The system was developed by
the National Livestock and Meat
Board in response to consumer
complaints of confusion with
present labeling methods. An
industry-wide committee chose
which name was best suited for
each of the 314 possible cuts of
meat.
Under the new system, each
meat package will bear the name
of the species beef, veal, pork
or lamb the wholesale cut,
such as chuck or loin, and a com
mon retail name for the cut,
standardized throughout the na
tion, such as “blade pot roast."
Also, a store may add its own
name for the product, such as
“economy roast” or “supreme
beef.” Ibis name will allow a
store or chain to maintain its sys
tem of identification without con
fusing customers.
The new program isn’t required
by law, so consumers should,
check with their local stores. If
the system is not being used, they
might want to suggest it.
Canned Consumption
In recent years, the annual U.S
consumption of canned meats
averaged about 14.5 pounds per
person - a record level. During
the past 20 years canned meat
consumption has gone up more
than five pounds per person
