LOUIS POST-DISPATCH dr. halberstam WINTER Wedding and Engagements liaspinedonyc mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ntM 'flu Li. and you're caught in the middle Tharp-Jones In noon ceremony on March 25, 1978, Janet Marian Jones and James Aubrey Tharp were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed in the Kenwood Park United Methodist Church, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest A. Jones of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Mr.

Jones is chairman, international of the advertising firm of D'Arcy-MacManus Masius. Mr. Tharp is the son of the Aubrey J.Tharps of Ottumwa, Iowa. The bride's sister, Mrs. Kempf Hogan, Birmingham, Michigan, served as matron of honor.

Mrs. WW- Contact Lenses What do President Carter, Barbara Walters, and 6 million other Americans have in common? They wear contact lenses. Carter and Ms. Walters were recently fitted with the new water-absorbent, soft contact lenses that were introduced in this country after being developed in Czechoslovakia in the early 1970s. Most lens wearers still use the hard contact lenses that have been around since the 1940s and were first made of glass.

Most are now made of plastic. The revolution in contact lens technology is far from finished. Bifocal contact lenses have been developed but not yet perfected or approved for consumer use. And in the future, contact lens wearers will probably have another type to choose from: extended-wear lenses that can be worn continuously for weeks, months, or even years. Already patients in one study have worn the lenses for .6 to 15 months, and one man in Cleveland has been able to wear them for several years.

However, long-wear lenses are probably years from being available to the public because they must meet the safety standards set by the Food and Drug Administration. Contact lenses have been improved so steadily and rapidly that many people who could wear them comfortably have not yet considered making the switch from ordinary glasses. Women and young adults between the ages of 17 and 24 are main wearers at present. They do so usually out of concern for their looks, although contact lenses do give them better peripheral vision. Some people such as entertainers, athletes, and workers who must wear safety goggles wear them for professional reasons.

A minority wear contact lenses for medical reasons. They may have had cataract surgery and contact lenses afford them better vision without their having to wear thick glasses. Or the lenses may correct keratoconus, a change in the shape of the cornea (the light-gathering part of the eye) that leads to blindness. People who wear contact lenses successfully need several attributes, motivation being most important. They must have the manual dexterity to insert the lens with an index finger while several other fingers pry apart the eyelids.

Contact lens wearers must also have the patience to build up, an hour at a time, the ability to wear the lenses until they feel comfortable and no longer like a foreign body in the eye. Poor candidates for lenses include people with allergies, infections, or inflammation affecting the eyes; people with a deficiency of tears; and people with arthritic or trembling hands who cannot manipulate the tiny lenses. Gregg Hahn, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and Miss Esc ha Harper, Royal Oak, Michigan, served as bridesmaids. Toby Lynn Jones, St Louis, Missouri, served as flower girl for her aunt Serving the groom as best man was Wayne L. Reinier, Greeley, Kansas.

Groomsmen were Dr. Dean C. Frey, Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Richard Andersen, Cedar Rapids. Ushers were Kelly J. Tharp, son of the groom, Ot 4 tumwa, Iowa, and Mark Jones, brother of the bride, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
