Improper Bending
! Stooping Can Lead
To Back Trouble
I A good way to check yourself
j and to the proneness to low back
I syndrome is 100-k at yourself side
ways in a mirror. Take your hand
[ and run it along the area referred
to as the “small of the back.’’
This should have a distinct bend
ing toward the front or cupped
effect. -This is what is known as
the secondary curve of t‘he sipine.
If yours has straightened out.
then your habits of posture or
bending and lifting have been in
correct. Your Chiropractor can
advise exercise to help you pr&r
vent backache or can correct it
if needed.

collecting only dust—place a want-ad in this newspaper and let them collect money

no longer want.
Incidentally, read the want-ads in this edition. They're loaded with bargains.

1 fective October I, 1967 also re- .
I moves the time limit requirement ■
for World War II and Korean;

Specifically, veterans having ।.
, served in the Armed Forces since j'
I January 31, 1955 may qualify for '
- the $1,600 allowance if they suf-1
sered loss or loss of use of one
or both hands or feet or suffered I

Pete Wheeler. Veterans Service I.
Director, noted. “This provision
was excluded under terms of the
Cold War GI Bill of 1966. I was
delighted to see that when Con
gress considered this benefit for
Vietnam era veterans, it also in
cluded Cold War veterans.”
Previous legislation allowed the
grant only for World War II and
Korean War veterans and placed
a time limit of five years follow- J
in-g date of discharge or release !
from active duty with certain ex- ■
ceptions in which to apply. The !
new law’ gives those World War I.
