"Before you buy eye glasses, shop around; get comparative prices."

Such is the recommendation of the Better Business Bureau of De-troll

Behind the advice Is an IntereaW Ing story of how ethical practition-ers In the field of medicine are try-ing to clean up price padding by unethical oculists, opthalmalogists and optometrists.

Among some practitioners it has been customary to accept a hidden profit in the consumer price of eye glasses. In other words, the differ-ence between the wholesale and retail cost was pocketed doctor aa part of hia profcuslokal revenue.

The Wayne County Medica1

The Better Business Bureau's ad-vice is this:

"In an apparent effort to retain merchandising profits, previously realized through 'kickbacks,' some doctors have recently changed their methods of operation. They now have the patient pay for his glasses at the doctor's office—instead of the optical supply house as was heretofore the custom.

"This switch facilitates the con-tinuance of price padding and if you find that your doctor has made such a change, by all means shop for your glasses Just as you would

It Is s a fe fo r anyone to visit In a tuberculosis s ana to r ium since every precaut ion is t a k e n to protcct vis-itors as well as hospital personnel. Certain rules, such as those ad-vising kiss ing the pat ient , si t t ing on his bed, or handl ing the things he uses, a r e pa r t of the hospital 's pro-tective measures .

Dur ing your visit be cheerful , un-ders tanding and use common sense. Tell him good or amus ing news f rom home; don ' t depress him w l t t bad naws or burden him with youi troubles. Peace of mind and free-dom f r o m worry a re vital to hia cure.

Encourage the pat ient to co-opera te wi th the doctors and m

School Is Ont To the children, the time haa ar-

rived for fun and relaxation, of freedom from school routine, dis-cipline, homework and examina-tions. We adulta see school days as necessary to the mental and edu-cational growth of the child. Sim-ilarly, we can look on his vacation days as essential to his healthy physical growth. In some cases, lagging appetites perk up and some children begin to sleep better because Increased fresh air and exercise bring on a healthy fatigue at the end of the day, according to word received from the Kent Coun-ty Tuberculosis Society.

Although school days mean a certain amount of confinement and deprivation of outdoor exercise, they do foster regular habits of eating, sleeping and cleanliness among children. Most parents get their children to bed on time be-cause they have to get up early for school. Youngsters generally eat a better breakfast during the school year and many schools provide a nourishing, well balanced lunch. There Is less opportunity durfng school days for children to nibble at snacks and spoil their appetites for good food at the main meals.

As a general rule, children are "scrubbed for school," with special attention to clean fingernails and teeth. (Dentists report that the ap-pearance of dental cavities among children Is greatest during the summer vacation). Pupils are re-minded almost dally In class of ths Importance of health and hygiene. Many schools have doctors and nurses who help keep a check on the health of the children.

Some of this attention given to the child's health during school weeks should carry over Into the summer vacation to assure that he returns to school happy and healthy In Sep-tember. This does not mean that children should be nagged about health rules af ter an "earned" va-cation following nine months of study, nor does it mean that a few "late nights" or extra snacks dur-ing the day will do harm. It does mean that parents, should realize the understandable tendency to al-low things to "slide" during the summer and help make the child's summer vacation the relaxing, re-freshing and healthful experience it Is meant to be.

In spite of all the talk of the destructiveness o f H-bomb, the average citizen is actually In much greater danger from auto bumpers

Home Economics

If you are lucky enough to have a home freezer you will find that strawberries are one of the most satisfactory fruits to freeze. Not all strawberries freeze equally well, however, so If you are growing them for that purpose or buying them to freeze. It Is well to select one of these varieties: Premier, Dunlap, Catskill, Sparkle, Senator, Gem (everbearing).

Use bright red, firm, ripe berriea. They should be red all the way-through. Sort, wash, hull and drain thoroughly. Handle quickly.

They may be packed sliced, crushed o r whole.

You may use dry sugar (1 cup sugar to 4 cups f rui t ) or a 80^-syrup.

It's really lots easier to freeze them than to can them and they taste more like fresTT strawberries too. There's a secret here though. They should be served before they are completely thawed. A few Ice crystals should be evident other-wise they become limp, lose their shape and that nice fresh straw-berry flavor.

Rural ^tele-news

ONE FOR THE BOOK—Telephone directories go with telephones just like ham goes with eggs. And last year Michigan Bell published more than 3,500,000 directories. Over 9,650,000 pounds of paper were purchased through Western Electric Company, the Bell System's supply division. Printing the directories took 124,000 pounds of Ink and 65,000 pounds of glue were used for binding. It takes a lot of everything to provide telephone service.

AS 8 I M P L I AS A - l - C — M o n e y fo r new con-

struction needed to provide more and better rural telephone service has to come from In-vestors. And Investors only put their money In businesses that show a fair profit. So, no fair profit for Michigan Bell, no Investors. No Investors, no money for new construction. That's why It's Important for you to have Michigan Bell financially healthy.

a f l O T D / ^ T . m .h h J/ A TRIP SAVED—During planting this Spring, a Michigan farmer's tractor broke down. He was about to drive Into town to get a spare part from the dealer there. But fortunately, he thought to telephone first. The dealer didn't have the right part. So he called the dealer in another nearby town and located the needed part. Saving needless trips and wasted hours Is but one great value of the telephone.

Spring Wise

Skirts and blouses are still favorites on the fashion front. You can find such attractive prints for the perky skirts and they are easily made by the most amateur seam-stress. Blouses as well as dresses this spring, are shown as sleeveless models with a "Utile boy" ^qpk. You can cut out the sleeves of last year's dress or blouse, band the raw edges. Add a "Peter Pan" collar or Insert a dickey of pique,.wear a cluster of real or artificial flowers Instead of the lapel or scatter pins, and yqu have a new look for an old outfit .

S t o t t Forest Timber Said t a Be Practical

A surprise to some people Is the fact tha t the conservation depart-ment permits trees to be cut on s tate forest lands.

For a long time public sentiment waa against such activities despite the fact that there were old stands and scattered remnants, culls and fire scarred trees, which should have been salvaged to prevent their going to waste. In addition much northern land had grown a new crop of trees since the virgin foresta were cut and burned a half-century or more ago. This crop, though not of the best species, was ready to be harvested and . there were markets for It.

This attitude against cutting gradually changed as we approach-ed World War H, and by the time war came with Its great need for forest products, the state was well into the timber sale business.

The timber sale policy on state forest lands Is to make use of com-mercial cutting operations to Im-prove timber stands as well as game food and cover conditions —through the harvesting of ma-ture, damaged, and defective trees.

Where aesthetic values are pres-ent along roads, near lakes aftd streams, or In other areas of special attraction, ample provision is made In the cutting specifications to pro-tect them. Thus the harvesting of timber f rom state forests is not destructive, but, through coordi-nated planning, serves aa a means of Increasing the productivity of our wild lanrfs.

During the past ten years more than one million dollars worth of aawlogs, pulpwood, cedar posts, cabin logs, ties, mine timbers, and other forest products haa been cut on state-owned lands. The total number of individual cutting per-mits issued every year ranges f rom 1,200 to 1,500, more than 90 per cent of which are to small operators, largely farmers, who cut during the winter months. Large blocks of timber, disposed of at auction to t'igRer operators, make up the other 10 per cent of the permits, and account for approximately 40 per cent of the total receipts.

Pa ren t s may have the Idea tha t they should let a child do Just what he pleases and when he pleases and should t ru s t the child's Judgment. They feel he will grow in spite of his parents . ^

This lack of parental restraint Is not one of the best ways to give a young child a feeling of sureness, certainty and therefore security, reports J e a n Foulkrod, child de-velopment Instructor at Michigan State College.

A mother who can love her child but a t the same time see the need for "put t ing the b rakes" on his be-havior a t times, is really helping the child grow, according to Misa Foulkrod. For example, a child may want to hit or kick you when you s top him f rom writing with crayon on the wallpaper. Then you need to tell the child of two "lim-its" a t one time. He may not hur t peup le^o r wallpaper.

The child specialist thinks he may not like you for limiting these activities a t the t ime but now be KNOWS he is not to kick you and that wri t ing paper Is better fo r crayons than wallpaper. He will wonder no longer whether he can get away with these things and you have made him more secure by removing tha t many uncertainties. He is sure of a few things and knows tha t someone is helping h im make u p his mind about th ings which are a little too big for him.

"Young children need the f i rm reassuring guidance of parents . T h t y need certain limits they can-not go beyond. I t gives them a feeling of security and children need tha t , " Miss Foulkrod reports.

Special work in small f rui t cul-tu re In Michigan will begin July 1 with the appointment of Dr. John P. Tomkins to the depar tment of hort iculture a t Michigan Btate Col-lege.
