Most of us don't realize how important good light and posture are for studying. When conditions aren't right for studying, fatigue sets in early, and attention wanders. Homework seems tedious and tiresome.

A few simple things can make studying easier for your child. Set a definite place for study, usually a bedroom because there it's easier to provide good lighting, and it's quieter. A level, non-glare work surface should be availableusually a desk with a blotter of some kind. The light color desk cover or blotter reduces sharp contrasts of light and dark; and makes it easier on your child's eyes. Never place a desk against a window.

A plain, light colored wall makes for fewer distractions. A straight backed non-upholstered, armless chair is recommended. However, research shows that studying on a soft chair or bed does not damage grades. Books and reading material should be propped about 30 degrees toward the eyes. If the book is flat, the type is foreshortened, and reading is more difficult.

Light should be placed so that it is. close to the book or with no glase or glare bouncing paper, up into the eyes. If the child is writing or drawing, the light should be placed opposite the working hand, so that he isn't in his own shadow. The light should be about eye level about 15 inches above the desk top and about 15 inches to the side of the book. One hundred fifty watt bulbs should be really used for reading, 200 watt bulbs for study.

In addition to this light in the study area, have good general light in the room to reduce contrasts. This is less tiring for the student's eyes. With these conditions, study should be easier for your child and so should better grades. Curfews Ended At Ferris State BIG RAPIDS (UPI) Ferris State College has announced that students will no longer be required to have curfews and will be allowed to have alcoholic beverages, if they are 18 years or older, in residence hall rooms. The board of trustees agreed with President Robert L.

Ewigleben that past regulations were in conflict with the spirit of "the new age of majority" legislation. Enters Race For Sheriff REED CITY (UPI)-Stephan Hall, a 25-year-old part time Evart city policeman and a junior at Ferris State College, announced today that he will be a candidate for Osecola County sheriff on the Republican ticket in the primary election. Hall will oppose the incumbent, Sheriff Donald Grein, who has held the office for 18 years and also is a Republican. Hall is majoring in criminal justice at Ferris. Capitol Report By Sen.

Oscar E. Bouwsma If Democrat legislators have their way, Michigan taxpayers will have to dig down into their pockets and pony up $800,000 for a special election next April. This is the issue at stake as the legislature returns to start the 1972 session. In fact, that was the issue that was at stake when the 1971 session closed back in December. It is the result of a Democrat national committee ruling that precinct delegates are allowed to be delegates to their national convention at which their presidential nominee will be named.

Democrat precinct delegates were chosen before 18-year-olds were given the right to vote. Thus, as a result of the Democrat national committee ruling, 18-year-olds will not be allowed to be delegates at the Democrat national convention. So the Democrats want the taxpayers of Michigan to them out of their selfdifficulty by holding a special election in Michigan next April, at which 18-year-olds could be elected convention delegates. Republican rules don't limit convention participation to precinct delegates. Nor do a majority of Republican legislators in Michigan feel that Michigan taxpayers should be slugged for $800,000 the cost of a spring election just to carry out a rule of the Democrat national committee.

Republicans feel that the simple solution to the problem and certainly a much less costly one would be for the Democrat committee to change its rules and permit the young people to participate in the national convention. Athletic Association Fight May Still Be Won By People The determined battle by the state board of education to seize School control of the Michigan High Athletic Association considered one of the finest in the nation was given a new boost last week- by an attorney general's ruling but all 1 may not be lost for the people of Michigan. The people of Michigan, largely represented in this case by and high school administrators athletic officials who don't want party politicians meddling in high school athletics are on the opposite side of the fence. Attorney General Frank J. Kelley, a Democrat, ruled last week that control over interscholastic athletics cannot be lawfully delegated to a private organization by the legislature.

He said such control must rest with the state board of education, presently controlled by Democrats. His ruling appears to be based on laws passed by the legislature, rather than by the constitution approved the people. If that is the intent of the ruling, such laws can be changed by the legislature. In fact, there is one such proposed change now before the house of representatives after having passed the Senate unanirously last session. It would, by law, vest the authority for interscholastic athletics in the association, which has so capably handled it for almost a half-century.

No mention of interscholastic made in the constitution which says "Leadership and general supervision over all public education, including adult programs, is vested in a state it symbolism--unconscious board of education." may be--in Richard The people of Michigan will helicoptering into a be watching this very intently, shipyard to talk directly lest the politicians of the state hard-hats.

"An Ancient Code of Conduct." says the story in the ficial AFL-CIO headquarters newspaper. "There is an ancient set of the respective obligations of customs governing guests and hosts that seems especially pertinent to the recent visit of President Nixon to the AFL-CIO convention. The rules have been posted for turies in monasteires and are generally credited to St. dict."

Gamble lauded the new snowmobile regulations adopted by the legislature last session. He said "this legislation is the result of nearly two years of cooperation among manufactures, distributors, dealers and individual owners and operators." Despite the poor image that some have given the sport, it is laudable that so many have taken a real interest in the sport which now has more than 207,000 machines operating in Michigan and which is said to be producing more than $6.5 million in taxes for Michigan.

TRUDY 9-29 King Features 1971. World At gory marsus "Why is it, when we sit down to discuss sensibly, always lose?" something Washington Window By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Democratic hopes for 1972 election victories in the South have dropped sharply in the past few months.

Sen. Herman Talmadge, D- said out loud what many have Southern Democratic leaders been saying privately when he told an audience in Waynesboro, recently that it will be "extremely difficult" to stop President Nixon from carrying the South in 1972. Talmadge hedged this statement with two conditions: Nixon will be hard to beat unless by election day (1) his "Phase II" economic controls have blown up in his face; or! (2) the United States is still bogged down in Vietnam. Talmadge figures Nixon is too smart a politician to let either of those things happen. Wafface is Warming Up In Alabama, Gov.

Wallace is warming up for another run at the presidential roses. His rapport with some white Wallace Southerners is so strong is bound to attract a good many votes in Southern states, particularly those along the Gulf Coast, where race still is a much more heated political issue than it now i is in the states of the Southern Atlantic Seaboard. But the present feeling among well-informed Southern Democrats is that it's Nixon, not Wallace, who's likely to carry their states in November. Will Discuss Economic Issue WASHINGTON (UPI) A four day "brainstorming session" will be held next week to discuss whether and how to get rid of. Phase II, Sen.

Philip A. Hart, said Wednesday. Politicians, professors, businessmen, economists and authors will be among the nearly' two dozen persons Hart's Antitrust and Monopoly subcommittee will hear from next Tuesday through Friday. "Now is the time to decide whether we want to make a commitment to Washington-run businesses or whether we have the courage make this really a free enterprise economy," Hart said. NEW DEER FOOD LINCOLN.

Neb. Zoo officials urged local residents not to destroy their Christmas trees, but to donate them to the 200 because it would be excellent feed for the four porcupines. Instead, "We found that deer are also great lovers of the trees and bark," said Zoo Director Robert Spencer. "The goats are going through them faster than any of the other animals." haves himself. But if not, he shall be asked to leave.

And if the not: "If he does not go, let two stout monks, in the name of God, explain the matter to him." This plaque also hangs in one on press bar here and is interpreted as warning that the misa behaver will be thrown out. For this and the obvious reason--the votes of the laboring man and woman will make or break him politically--the Presa ident and his aides have decided tc invade Meany's bailiwick. of-: are defying him to enThey force the ban on cooperation as with the White House and the Pay Board and to defeat himwhich Meany said in his end message is most important undertaking of the coming year." For example. the AFL-CIO of-: will boycott the Feb. 7 to 9 White House Conference on The Industrial World Ahead.

Mr. Nixon will he a dinner speaker one of those evenings. There will be powerful representation, not the least of which will he the Teamsters' nationally respected second vice president Einar Mohn, chief of the 11- state Western Conference of Teamsters. Mohn will be an important panelist. There are AFL-CIO vice presidents such as steel's I.

W. Abel who has just accepted a post on the President's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, of which I'm vice chairman. There are lesser-known commissions to which national AFLCIO vice presidents such as Lee Minton and Ted Gleason have accepled appointments. These range from the National Commission on Materials Policy to Water Pollution Control and the National Advisory Council on Economic Opportunity (Harry Van Arsdale, powerful treasurer of the Electrical Brotherhood). Certainly acceptance of such appointments is no indication of political support.

But neither does it paint Mr. Nixon as one who would have had to be admonished by "two stout monks." There are powerful labor leaders who are slipping into the White House or are in constant touch with Cabinet officers or are communicating with Mr. Nixon's operational chief on this front, Charles (Chuck) Colson. And these labor chiefs do pledge their political support. They are leaders of building trade unions.

Some are from maritime unions whose industry survives now because of the new scores of millions poured into the shipbuilding yards. This is one of the more sig. nificant political developments of any campaign since someone invented what is reputed to be the honest ballot. Labor chief Meany hasn't been thus challenged in decades. And there are labor leaders who say they will vote for Richard Nixon it the Democratic ticket.

or any part thereof, i is made up of Secretary of the Treasury Connally, Sen. McGovern, Mayor Lindsay or Ted Kennedy. Richard Nixon may yet take much of the labor vote away from its national high command. For he loses if he can't. He's certain he can.

The degree to which Republican stock has risen in the South: as a result of new restrictions on textile imports, Nixon's widely popular wage price freeze and the continued winding down of the Vietnam War is reflected in the radical change that has taken place in the re-election prospects of Sen.

Strom Thurmond, A few months ago, the word among Republicans as well as Democrats was that "ol' Strom can be had" in 1972. Thurmond himself was clearly worried, and began running scared months in advance of the time an incumbent normally would launch his campaign. Campaign Strategy His campaign strategy calls for living down his once carefully cultivated reputation as a die-hard defender of segregation. This reputation has ceased to be a political asset in a state where 25 per cent of the registered voters are black. Thurmond's attempt to detach himself from his past racial views is attracting some hoots of derision from Democrats, and it is doubtful whether many Negro voters will swallow the "new" Thurmond image.

But Thurmond never really i expected them to. His goal is simply to defuse an issue that might cost him votes among middle-class, moderately conservative whites who are sick of racist politics, and he seems to be succeeding. In fact, his prospects have improved so dramatically the Democrats are having a hard time finding somebody to run against him. I Vander Wall Bros.
