Taking A Ijook Backward
Public Thanks
' Is Expressed
TO THE EDITOR: , ,
I would like to publicly thank Senators Melvin Daniels,
J J Harrington and Representatives Vernon James and
Stanford White for voting against the insurance industry
bill which lets rate hikes go into effect before they are ap
proved by your Insurance Commissioner just like the
utilities-type system. , . . t. . . .
The bill also allows territorial classifications which
means higher rates for people living in cities, eventhough
they have a safe driving record. , .
Separate higher rates for individuals insured through the
Reinsurance Facility are what the insurance industry
wants. Since the insurance companies can choose who is
placed in the Facility, a driver with a perfect driving record
can pay more just because the insurance company put him
)n the Facility. Separate rates are unfair !
The State of Massachusetts last year changed to this ter
ritorial and separate rating system which caused rates to
skyrocket. They are now trying to change back from the in
surance mess they are in.
The.insurance industry used wall-to-wall lobbyists in the
General Assembly to overcome the will of the people as ex
pressed at the ballot box in my reelection. Iam sure the peo
ple of your District will want to thank those who voted
against this bad legislation which changed the evidence
laws in favor of the insurance companies.

Eyes need
extra care
in Summer
The "Eyes Have It"
during the summer! They
get radiated, chlorinated,
reflected upon, glared on,
windblown, pollenated,
and salted.
That is why you should
take special care, of your
eyes during the vacation
season. For protection,
select a good pair of drug
store sunglasses which
block out ultra-violet and
infra-red sun rays, are
shatter-resistant, and distortion-free.
:
To refresh and relax
your eyes use eye drops,
regularly. Simply tilt head
hack, close eyes, drop two
drops in the inner corners
of eyes, and then open lids
to allow drops to seep
, naturally into eye. The
feeling is euphoric!
