Lighting the Nation The real cost of high brightness
Editorial argues excessive lighting wastes energy and money while offering little eye health benefit. It cites New York City and national figures, advocates possible 50 percent energy cuts, and contrasts U S lighting standards with Britain s lower benchmarks. It quotes Howard Brandston on overlit society and myths about light and sight.

NFO group seeks to oust leaders in campaign drive
A grassroots push by the National Committee for the Advancement of the NFO plans to challenge President Oren Lee Staley and current leadership. Delegates from about 10 states say 3,000 to 15,000 members may back the campaign, seeking more responsive management and direct answers. Funds totaling around 100000 are eyed to wage the national effort, with lapel buttons bearing Advance NFO to aid costs. A SEC suit has been resolved in NFO's favor, but critics say the dispute slowed commodity handling and highlighted leadership issues.

Legislators challenge county beauty contest rules
Illinois lawmakers Rep. Eugenia Chapman and Rep. Giddy Dyer urged removing rules that bar married women or mothers from county fair beauty contests. They argued motherhood and marital status should not determine eligibility and suggested a broader review by the Illinois Commission on the Status of Women. The state fair queen is chosen from county winners, a practice they criticized as outdated.
