Heinl Radio-Television News Service 8/16/50 ’’A. No. They magnify defects in the picture as well as the details; and usually increase the reflections. Study and carefully fol¬ low the instructions for tuning and focusing the set, and be sure to have the set properly installed and serviced to avoid the only causes of eye-strain that you can blame on the set you have . •'Do the filter attachments prevent glare? "A. Sometimes, but every set has built-in filters. The very sub¬ stances that produce the light that makes the picture are also filters and each manufacturer has carefully determined the light emission that has been selected by his advisors as the best after extensive and expensive research. Screens differ somewhat be¬ cause opinions differ, but all are very good and none are harm¬ ful.

She likes to be almost as near. 3) Jimmie is about six. He will sit a little farther back. L) Robbie is about eight. He will almost Join the adults. 5) and 6) Sherry and Steven are both 7. They are twins. One has just about ideal eyes and vision. The other has what may be call¬ ed really poor vision. See if you can guess which is which. I am almost at my second childhood, I like to be way back. 7) Tommy’s mother is just a little bit near-sighted. She likes to join the children." XXXXXXXXXXXX 2
