NOW YOU CAN PUT
YOUR IRA
ON THE NYSE.
And that makes a big differ-
ence.
Until now, most bank IRAs
have been invested in savings cer-
tificates. But suppose you want
greater investment flexibility?
Opening a First City Self
Directed IRA is the answer.
Then you can begin investing
your IRA funds in stocks, bonds
and covered call options carried on
the NYSE and other major ex-
changes. Plus, you can save up to
70% on broker commissions since
you make your own investment
decisions.
Here’s how it works: Once your
account is open, simply call First
City Brokerage Servicess when-
ever you want to trade. An ex-
perienced trader will handle your
order quickly and efficiently. Then
at the end of the month you’ll
receive a statement of all trades,
as well as the value of securities
held in your IRA.
All uninvested IRA funds earn
a high rate of interest in a First
City Money Market Savings Ac-
count.
And like any of our IRAs, you
can invest as much as $2,000 an-
nually, and earn up to $1,000 a
year in tax deductions.
In addition, you have until
April 15, 1987 to open the IRA
and apply your entire contribution
toward the 1986 tax year.
Rollover IRAs are also avail-
able. If you have an IRA else-
where, or have recently received a
lump sum distribution from a
qualified plan, you can invest
these assets in a First City Self-
Directed IRA.
To open your account, stop
by First City, or phone First
City Brokerage Services at
1-800-392-8989 (713-658-7000 in
Houston), and we’ll mail you our
sign-up kit.
Then you’ll have an IRA that
can be invested more ways than
ever before.

Service Chairman Gordy
reminded members of items
to be collected for M. D.
Anderson Hospital. Plans
to take the items to be
hospital on March 21 were
discussed.
The program was given
by Gordy and Hood, en-
titled “Sisterhood—A
Preferential Time in Your
Life,” expounding on the
many benefits of belonging
to a sorority—the friend-
ships, fellowship and fami-
ly feeling members receive
from belonging to the sis-
terhood of Beta Sigma Phi.
Present for the meeting
were Daily, Gordy, Rober-
ta Holland, Hood, Kern,
Cleta Newton, Lorieta
Spencer and Sorensen.

ASTIGMATISM
One of the eye problems
that causes blurred vision is
astigmatism. This happens
when the cornea, or “window
of the eye,” is out of shape. A
normal cornea has a perfect
curve, with the same degree of
slope on all sides. Light rays
that pass through the cornea
come together at a single point
on their way to the retina.
This simply isn’t possible in
the astigmatic eye. The rays of
light don’t come together at
the same points. There are two
separate images. This doesn’t
mean that people with astig-
matism see double, but it does
blur their vision.
There are three kinds of
astigmatism, depending on the
eye’s point of focus. It’s “near-
sighted” if the focus takes
place before the image gets to
the retina; “farsighted” if the
focus takes place after the im-
age reaches the retina; or it
can be a combination of the
two. In all cases, fortunately,
vision can be corrected with
properly prescribed eyeglasses.
