Television-Eyetis
By Ed Dosd

Among the by-products Of tele.
vision are complaints of eye troub-
les by those who watch programs.
Some of these troubles are imagi-
nary, but some may be actual, ac-
cording to the Better Vision insti.
tute. Persons with normal vision
can get eye fatigue if they watch
an object from too nearby or with
the head in an uncomfortable posi-
ton, and the same may apply to
video-viewers. One theory is that
people who report eye difficulties
after watching a video screen real
ly have been suffering all along
from some visual error such as
nearsightedness or astigmatism.
They may not have noticed it be.

the eyes on activities comparable
to focusing for long periods on a

Up. 400, 207). Christian Science re-
veals Truth and Love as the mo-

stubborn, and headlong-cooper-

From this cooperation arises it's
evil. From this also comes its pow
erlessness, since all power belongs
to God, good. =. God is not the
creator of an evil mind. Indeed,
evil is not Mind. We must learn
that evil is the awful deception and
unreality of existence.

A. A wage Garner is fully in
sured" if he has been paid $50 or
more in job covered by Social
Security in at least half the num-
ber of calendar quarters between
January 1, 1887 and the quarter in
which he becomes IS or dies. In
no case can a worker become fully
insured unless he has been paid $50
in each of at least six calendar
quarters. Once a worker has ac-
quired 40 of these $50 quarters
(called quarters of coverage") he

by social security from February
1941 until October 194S. 1 am no
longer working. Will I be entitled

companies for years allowed dis
count to homes having a dog, ac-
cording to Harry Miller. director

''While not all dogs are OF equal
value for guard duty, practically
any family dog will rise to the
occasion when needed" he states.
"Any dog can sound a warnips
and even the little toy dog can act
as an effective alarm by barking
in shrin ferocity. Families with a
dog not only sleep with more con-
fidence, but also know that the
likelihood of their sustaining a loss
while absent from home because
of visit from thieves or burglars
is m sterially reduced"
Mr.. Miller believes that the re-
cent Victor Reuther shooting in
Detroit probably would not have
taken place but for the Reuthers'
parting with their dog a few days
previously. His assailants evidently
were fearful of the family Cocker
Spaniel, and by anonymous COM
plants to the police that the dog
was a continuous barker forced
the Reuthers to give their dog
away. With the dog removed, the
culprits could proceed with their
plans with the chances of detec-
ton greatly minimized, he states
