VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION
Sy DR. H. E. COLLIER
When your fool "goes to sleep" from sitting with the knees
crossed, thus pinching the large nerve under one knee with the
bony knee cap on the other, you have an example of some of
the minor effects of nerve pinching or impingement. If allowed
to continue month after month and year after year you can
easily see how these efforts might become major ones.
An internal organ may similarly "go to sleep" from nerve
impingement and eventually become diseased as a result of the
imperfect circulation and function activity. Chiropractic ad
justments correct the cause.

to explain and illustrate the practice of scientific Chiropractic,

News From
Tri-Hi-Y
By Carol Hitchcock
As the Thanksgiving season
nears, each of us is reminded of
the many blessings that have
been bestowed upon us. We
think of the Pilgrims who cele
brated the first Thanksgiving.
They had so little: yet, they
found it in their hearts to give
thanks to God for what they
had. Thanksgiving ushers out
the autumn and welcomes in
the winter.
No matter how much or how
little we have, each individual
should make Thanksgiving a
day of sharing — not just food
and hospitality — but t h e
sharing of laughter, love and
happiness. Some people need a
square meal but others may
need a portion of human un
derstanding. Each of us m a y
celebrate the feat of Thanks
giving as it should be celebrat
ed; a day of family ties, home
coming, and thankfulness.
As our modern world is fast
changing the words “Cold War”
are becoming much too famil
iar to us. Neverthe less we must
remember that Thanksgiving,
our national holiday, was built
on faith, hope and mutual trust.
This faith, hope and trust car
ried a small band of people
across an ocean to a new land
because they longed to worship
God in their own way. They
found this freedom of worship,
but they found the courage to
plant again until their hunger
was appeased and to hide
fear with a smile. These people
were the roots of the tree which
. is the United States of Ameri
! ca. Can we not be so strong
as they? Are we of little cour
■ age and fortitude” Let us strive
: to make this “a tree that looks
;at God all day and lifts its
i leafy arms to pray ” to
I say Thank You, God, thank
you. Make your Thanksgiving
Day and everyday a day of
j giving thanks!
forget that the model houses
necessarily are basic plans
which show all the optional
frills, any of which, or all, are
available “if desired”.
“The VA approves the loan
guaranty on a house according
to the plans and specifications
which the veteran-buyer agrees
with the builder to have erect
ed, thus legally can do noth
ing to help the veteran.” Har
ry W. Piper, Acting Manager,
Veterans Administration Re
gional Office, Atlanta, Georgia,
said today.
Haste and carelessness on the
part of the buyer are the ba
sic troubles resulting in the
disappointment reflected in the
post-occupancy complaints be
ing received by the VA, Mr.
Piper, opined.
Until about two years ago,
this type complaint was rare
because whole subdivisions
were still being built on specu
lation and the buyer could see
precisely how the house was
equipped before he bought it.
Now, however, Mr. Piper
points out that on today’s high
ly competitive market, many
houses are wisely “presold”;
that is, the buyer looks at a
display of “model” houses rep
resenting several different ba
sic plans from which he can
choose, but he can’t see the
particular house he will ac
tually live in because it won’t
even be started until he signs
the agreement to buy it.
Because he forgot about the
signs explaining the options
and, or, forgot to have the op
tions he wanted included in the
contract the buyer moves in
and after the excitement is
over, begins to take note of
the various features of his new
home.
Then he files a complaint
with the VA that his house
does not have gutters and
downspouts (not required by
VA minimum standards if the
eaves extend far enough out),
or the big concrete patio slab,
or the redwood porch onto
which the “model” house’s
sliding glass doors opened.
“Once that document is sign
ed, the buyer has no legal re
course in regard to any thing

Fly Fishing
Information
There is a nasty rumor go
ing around that fly fishing is
only for the very expert, and
then only productive in the
early spring, when the spawn
ing season hits. This is about
as true as the premature re
ports of Mark Twain’s death,
which he termed “highly ex
aggerated.”
Fly fishing is a sport, ac
cording to the Mercury out
board fishing authorities, that
is fun for anyone—expert or
novice. They suggest that the
amount of fun you have from
fly fishing will be in direct
proportion to the amount of
time you invest in it.
And so will your degree of
skill.
Those who live south of the
“freeze-up” line will find that
this time of the year is as good
as any to test the theory, to go
out and try fly fishing to see
if it is as good now as it is in
the spring.
There is a curious phenome
non that occurs at this time of
year that parallels one in
spring — fish go on a feed
spree. Some say it is caused by
the knowledge that winter is
coming, and fish feed voraci
ously to be ready for the slow
up that happens during the
colder months. This could be
true, or could not. but one
things is for sure —they come
up into shallow water and gob
ble minnows as if eating were
going to be declared illegal.
That’s why it is such an
ideal time for the fly fisher
man. He can cruise along in
the shallows in a light boat and
a new lightweight Mercury
not specified therein, Mr. Pi
per pointed out.
Mr. Piper reminded the vet
eran-buyers that “the VA gu
arantees the loan, not the
home”, so the sole responsi
bility of the type and quality
of the home desired rests with
the veteran.
“If the veteran will take the
time to sit down for a few min
utes to read and discuss the
various features of the con
tract with the builder’s agent,
he will save many headaches
and disappointments for him
self and his family”, Mr. Piper
concluded.
fishin’ motor, dropping his
flies or small bugs into the
shoals where the fish are feed
ing.
The beautiful part about it
is that the more he fishes the
more expert he will become at
dropping his fly right where
he wants it to hit, and before
long he will begin to catch
more fish. It’s sort of a round
robin of fishing success.
And skill has no part in it.
Just desire. The desire to have
fun fishing. From there on the
skill factor will take care of
itself.
Helen Keller, who serves
actively as Counselor to the
American Foundation for the
Blind, states: “It is tragic that
only half the conditions which
cause loss of sight are under
stood and, as a result, there has
not been discovered a suffi
cient remedy for thousands of
injured eyes. The need of re
search and more trained per
sonnel remain imperative.”
