The AMA Council on Occupational Health the use of tinted lenses and tinted windshields as aids in night for these reasons; use of any lens or windshield, whether tinted, reflecting, or polarizing, reduces the light transmitted to the eye and renders the task of seeing at night more difficult. source of glare in night driving is the contrast between the headlights of oncoming cars and the darker surroundings. The Use of tinted lenses or windshields floes not reduce the contrast but reduces the intensity of illumination from both the headlights and the surroundings, thereby impairing vision. is no scientific evidence support any claim that the use of tinted lenses or windshields improves night vision.

There are about as many theories on how to live to be 100 as there are people who have reached the century mark, according to an article in the magazine, published by the American Medical Association. Most centenarians could probably agree on the life-preserving values of the right foods, sufficient rest, and moderation, the article said. But when it comes to the use of alcohol and tobacco, anyone siftmg through the advice of the oldsters finds a split right down the middle. For example, 105-year-old George Kent of Thurvaston, England, attributed his life span to his daily custom of a pint of beer and pipesmoking, but a retired barker of the same age. Charles Decker of Marcellus, credited his longevity to the fact that he neither drank nor smoked.

Bernardo Ramirez Hernandez, the Mexican who died in 1903 at the reputed age of 133, always maintained that he had never been ill and had drunk tequila every day. A more scientific opinion has been offered by Dr. Robert J. Samp of the University of Wisconsin on the basis of a survey of 29,000 Americans who made it to age 100. Dr.

Samp concluded that of them seemed to have adopted the policy of fight? Why not roll with the In addition to moderation, he said, a future life and length depends on such things and competing the Joneses and the boss, and on environment and heredity.

How many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding-ring! Cibber ATLANTA (AP) Restaurant owner Lester Maddox, the first person convicted of civil contempt under the 1964 Civil Rights Act, faces fines of $200 a day until he signs a statement saying he will agree to serve all persons regardless of race. U.S. District Judge Frank A. Hooper rejected arguments Friday by the avowed segreration- lst that he refused service only to integrationists and interstate travelers and that his business wasn't operated on the basis of race, color, creed or national origin.

1209-A-Day Hooper set the $200 a day fine, dating from Friday, until Maddox signs the statement. The judge said Maddox and the defendant Pickrick, could be purged of the contempt citation at the end of 60 days by signing the statement. Maddox was reported out of town and not available for comment. A permanent injunction was issued Sept. 4 by the court against Maddox and his restaurant, the Pickrick.

Maddox later closed the Pickrick but reopened in the same building under the name, Lester Maddox Cafeteria, which he contended was a separate company. Negro Excluded Hooper said in his opinion that Maddox excluded Negroes from service of their race and not because of their being Attorneys for Maddox had argued that he refused service the ground of the political beliefs and ideas espoused and promoted by integrationists, which are exceedingly obnoxious to The judge noted, however, that Maddox himself testified that any persons who seeks service in the restaurant on the basis of the 1964 Civil Rights Act would be considered an and would not be served. Defense Argues To sustain that defense, Hooper wrote in his opinion, create an anomaly heretofore unheard of. The beneficiaries under a certain law would be denied the rights given, because they insisted upon its The changes in methods of operations were made, he said, with the intent and purpose of evading the injunctive orders of the federal court. In his order, Hooper also directed Maddox to pay the costs of the court's proceedings.

President Johnson practically invited himself to the Soviet Union, and asked the Russians to come see him. Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin was off for Hanoi and Peking. McGeorge Bundy flew to Saigon.

And in Paris, President Charles de Gaulle pointed down the road he thinks the world should take. Nearly all of the problems were East- West amity, Viet Nam, the future of the United Nations, the reunification of Germany, the gold standard but decisions hung fire. Speaking Wednesday night on the thesis that his administration was not standing still, was always trying, President Johnson dropped in five sentences to illustrate his point. He mentioned his State of the Union suggestion that the new Soviet leaders might visit the United States, and went on: have reason to believe that the Soviet leadership would welcome my visit to their as I would be very glad to do. I am very hopeful that before the year is out this exchange of visits between us may The Soviet press and radio promptly broadcast these remarks, and Izvestia declared that declaration had aroused in the United States.

There could be no formal response from Moscow at the moment. Premier Kosygin was in Peking, stopping off en route to Hanoi, capital of Red North Viet Nam. The true purpose of trip was not yet apparent, but there was an air of expectancy. Bundy, representing Johnson, was in Saigon talking with U.S. Ambassador Maxwell D.

Taylor and South Viet strong man, Lt. Gen. Nguyen Khanh. At a news conference Thursday, Johnson refused to speculate on what Kosygin was up to, in fact seemed reluctant to discuss Viet Nam, except to reiterate that the United States was determined to continue its policy of the people of South Viet Nam preserve their In Paris, De Gaulle, 74, the last of the top Allied leaders of World War II, drew nearly a thousand reporters and officials to his news conference on Thursday.

Dist. Judge Daniel H. Thomas ordered Dallas speed up registration applications to at least 100 a day each day the board sits, and to drop literacy tests. But Sheriff James G. Clark arrested several hundred more Negroes on Friday, the day after ruling.

About 70 were arrested after marching to the courthouse seeking speedier voter registration, and hundreds more were taken into custody while protesting the earlier arrests. The sheriff has arrested about 3.000 Negroes since the vote drive was begun by the Ilev. Martin Luther King recently back from accepting the Nobel Peace Prize.
