ADVICE TO PARENTS
OF TEENACERS

a darkened room only serves to
bring on eye fatigue that can
cause teen-agers to become tired
and irritable.
2. It is. best that young eyes
are not facing a window when
they read. Sun-glare bounceS off
the window and onto the page,
then into the vision of the read
er. So make sure all lighting
comes from the proper direction.
8. Avoid shadows. Adequate
light should be placed at an ap-
proximate distance of 20 inches
away from the page, to avoid
any furtive Squint or strain to
adolescent sight, say Murine re-
Searchers.
4. A reading lamp should con-
tain a. bright enough bulb to
Danish shadows without induc-
ing glare. A 100 watt bulb is
considered ideal.
5. Also, make certain you rest
your eyes from time to time.
Placing one or two drops of eye
lotion in each eye refreSheS
tired eyes. Practice moderation
in reading or in attending mo-
ton pictures. Staring off into
the distance for a short while
is fine way of resting ones
eyes.
6. Follow a proper, well-bal-
anced diet and get plenty of
sleep. Sleep is vital at this pc
riod of life and will help to
keep eyes healthy, bodies fit,
and minds alert for all the
wonderful things that go on dali
ly in the exciting life of a teen
ager.

Postmaster Worms Against
Fraud Operators

Reports from Chief Postal In
spector David H. Stephens show
that the essence of the scheme
was to rent a small store, set
up business under the name Of
a corporation which sounded
respectable and then order mer-
chandise through the mail ON
credit from manufacturers.
False credit references prepared
by the operators themselves
were furnished with purchase
orders. Merchandise on receipt
was disposed of quickly below
wholesale costs to auctionerS,
discount houses and other out
let's"
Postal inspectors made first
arrests in the case last Novem-
ber. In the successful proSecu-
ton of the operators, a thou
sand exhibits were presented
and so witnesses testified.
"I am calling special atten-
ton to this case, showing the
fine work of our postal inSpec-
tors, since it may serve as a
warning to legitimate supplerS
and manufacturers to make GER
tain of their references when
supplying valuable shipments on
credit to persons unknown to
them," Mr.. Summerfield COM
mented.
Arizona sun., 1957-06-13

AS a special warning to mer-
chants and businessmen, Post
master General Arthur E. Sum-
merfield called attention to the
recent breakup by postal in
Spectors of a remarkable mer-
chandiSe fraud operated by
thieves using dummy corpora
tions and phony references to
blk legitimate Suppliers all over
the nation of a lf-million dol
lars.
Thirteen persons were convict
ed and sentenced recently in U.
S. District Court at Boston in
connection with the scheme
which involved ordering by mail
from supplierS everything from
gold-plated fishing rods to 15-
foot boats with trailerS and then
selling the goods at less than
wholesale costs and never pay
ing the Suppliers.,
us. District Court Judge Bal
ley Aldrich, who imposed SEN
tences of jail or prison terms
for IL and probation of 8 years
for a 18th defendant, comment
ed that the fly-by- night dummy
corporations set up by the pro-
moters affec e d businessmen
throughout the country. "The
defendants stole unrestrictedly
from everyone in sight" he
added.

What fun to- be a teen-ager!
Life Is suddenly a bright ball of
new interests with so much hap
pening that there hardly are
enough hours in the day for
everything. YeSter d a ", the
youngster who never combed his
hair, is now quite careful about
appearance, for he has discover
ed girls.
And = girls have discovered
that they are girls, too. Good
grooming and care of skin, eyes,
and teeth may go on for end
less hours and, doctors agree,
it's a good thing.
One of the most important
adjuncts to general health is a
check-up on vision to see If eye
sight is normal, or if glasses are
needed.
Even if glasses are not needed,
eyestrain can result from i'm
proper reading habits. This Is
the age when most teen-agerS
begin to do more reading than
ever. before. Reading can go on
for hours, and if it isn't done
under proper lighting conditions,
tired eyes are the result.
To make sure good reading
habits are observed in your
home, establish these rules re-
commended by researchers for
the Murine Company.
1. Teen-agers go in for "fadS"
in lighting. Sometimes they like
to study by the tiny light of a.
small desk lamp in a almost
totally dark room. This is COM
pletely wrong. General overall
illumination is best. Reading in

VETERANS
NEWS

Sale of a veterans GI-pur-
chased home because of a new
and better job In a different city
may entitle him to new CT loan
eligibility, even though the job
change was voluntary, Veterans
Administration said today.
Better job" was defined by
VA as being one that would in
crease the veterans income or
provide him with greater op-
portunity for advancement.
Restoration of CT loan eligi-
bility formerly was made only
if the job change or transfer
to another city was involuntary
or beyond the veterans control.
The new ruling, VA said, also
applies to veterans moving to a
different city following retire
ment.
However, no CT loan entitle-
ment can be restored unless the
VA is relieved of liability on the
old loan. This generally is ac-
complished by payment of the,
loan in full, either by the vet
eran of the new purchaser.
Other circumstances u n d r
which veteran may be entitled
to a new CT loan eligibility are
when the property:
1. Was taken by a govern
mental agency for public use;
2. Was destroyed by a natural
hazard; or,
2. Was disposed for compell-
ing reasons of health or other
specified reasons beyond control
of the veteran.

Committee Seen
Naming New
Nominee

The withdrawal Of Howard c.
Gilmer leaves Virginia's Demo-
cratic Party without q nominee
for attorney general.
Since he was unopposed in the
July Q primary. Mr.. Gilmer al
ready had been declared the
party nominee. His name was
placed on the ballot at his own
request.
According to other party NOM
inees, the Democrats now cannot
get another name or names on
the ballot for the primary.
The party has two alternatives
for selecting q nominee to re-
place Mr.. 0ilmer.
The Democratic State Central
Committee may choose . nomi-
nee, or may call q party conven-
ton to elect q nominee.
Neither procedure would affect
the primary. A nominee chosen
by the Central Committee or by
convention would become the
party's candidate for the No.
vember general election.
Preliminary speculation tended
to favor the former procedure,
principally because Of the time
and expense which would be in
volved In calling q convention.

Blanton Of Bowling Green is the
chairman Of the Democratic
