British MDs May Clean Up On The Twist LONDON (AP)-British doctors expect to reap a rich harvest from the twist you know, that dance where the dancers look as if they were caught in an automatic washer. With the twist epidemic spreading from the United States to Britain, a lot of Britons are -going to wind up with slipped discs, Dr. Hames Cyriax, a leading British orthopedic surgeon, said Saturday. In a lecture at the School of Physiotherapy at London's St.

Thomas's Hospital, Cyriax said: "The twist involves radiating the trunk on the pelvis, or the pelvis on the trunk, while the spinal joints are bent backwards or forwards sometimes to the full. "The alternating rotation at extremes of range is well calculated to damage a cartilage in both lumbar and theractic spinal joints. This leads to recurrent displacements." In lay language, twistere are liable to slip a disc. "There are plenty of slipped discs about already and the devotees of the twist are destined to increase their numbers," Cyriax said. "Doctors will reap a rich harvest as long as this dance if that is the right word practiced." FLORIDA Hich Low Prec.

I ml Frank Moor Says: An old Chinese proverb says, "When buying a needle, examine the eye." To bring this saying up-to-date it might be changed to state: "When buying insurance examine the agent." The agent, we believe, should be an independent businessman who represents your Interests, and who merits your full confidence. "Continuing personal attention" is THE BIG DIFFERENCE in car, home, and business insurance and it is available only from an independent agent not from direct Insurance company representatives.

An independent insurance agent serves you in four ways: (1) He helps you choose claims quickly and fairly; 3 He keeps your protection up-to-date; (4) He works on your side when you have a loss, follows through to see you get prompt, fair payment.
