LOOKING ————— THANKYOU Last week I promised to lake a look at the newest ‘sputnik’ in the skies’ of feminine fashions, and to comment thereon us u further facet of spring in Victor-; ia, And to be perfectly frank, it looked like an easy assignment I had set for myself.

Light weight wools, linens, Shantungs and later, about May or June, in cottons.” Time was passing quickly and her customers, whom she had left to speak to me, were wait- ing so I ventured one last ques- tion: “What of the new hats to go with the new fashion? “There are the Cloches, Bre- tons,” she replied, smiling, “and the new high draped turbans are the coming thing.” ~ That had me and I am still uncertain whether she was smi- ling with or at me on that last had been a very pleasant inter- view, and I would have liked to have asked her the old ques- tion “For whom do women dress the more for.men, or (which I myself had seen,), “And of course we don’t call them the ‘Sack',” she added, “women don't like to think of themselves in a sack, ‘Chemise’ is a much plea-; ;Santer word, don’t you think?” “But don’t you think they jhave gone too far in under-ac- ,centing the feminine figure,” I }pursued, carefully avoiding the bait, “Not at all," she answered, laughing, “figures are still in style” “in fact," she went on, “they are more important than — for against other women.” “According to Dr. J.

This is the verdict of most optical experts and eyesight spec- ialists who have studied the pro- blem, says the Better Vision In- stitute, There is a problem with out a doubt. Thousands of TV fans have experienced eyestrain after fixing their gaze on the screen, often for only a short time, This has given rise to ru- mours that invisible radiations from TV, or the flickering of the picture, cause actual damage tc the eyes. About half of the tele- vision audience seems to believe this, investigators say. Actually, the television: sereen in most cases merely re- veals faults and deficiencies which already existed in the eyes — troubles which the viewer did not suspect he had. Close eye work of any kind, such-as read- ing or sewing, will also show up the existence of these “errors”, Many TV enthusiasts, however, make few close-up and contin- ued demands on their eyes. if their eyes begin to sting and fog while reading they merely close | the book and do something elss. ,| But they continue to stare, at the TV screen for much longer per- iods, usually at the end of a day when eyes are tired. More than that, the condi- tions under which television is viewed often violate the basic rules of. good seeing. Here are some suggestions for easing the strain. Don’t make the room dark — have a comfortable amount of light, not shining straight into your eyes. Adjust the instrument when it has warmed up, sd the picture will be steady. Take a comfortable seat from which you can look level at the screen, or slightly downward—not upward. Shift your eyes around now and then, or close them frequently The Eye- Sting Out Of Television ... for short rests. Sit six to 10 feet away from the screen. But most important of all, if ynu have discomfort from view- ing, see an eyesight specialist for an and wear glasses if he prescribes them. They will pay off in keener, more comfortable vision, not on- ly in front of the TV but every- where and all the time, They will increase working efficiency. If these measures don’t bring TV. comfort, there are special viewing glasses that may hit the root of the trouble. It’s a fact that direct light from the screen is high in ‘blue’ light energy LOOKING AHEAD LEWIS MILLIGAN “THE YEAR AHEAD” is the title of a brief but timely message issued by The Stecl Company of Canada.
