The fact is that one-third of our school-age children are unable to pass minimum physical achievement tests. Another fact that should cause concern is that 60% of our schools have no daily physical, education program at all. Every boy and every girt must have a planned, vigorous activity program every day if we are to bring our children back to sound physical standards. Insist on such a program for your child’s school.

Followed Rabbit Into FTC Hearing By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — As I was walking down Pennsylvania Avenue one day this week I saw a large white rabbit get out of a taxi and enter the Federal Trade Commission building. Having nothing better to do at the moment. I followed him inside. I. am glad that I did, for otherwise I might have missed the FTC’s hearing on whether it is legal to call a fake leopard a fake leopard Yes, Alice, there really is a fake leopard. There is also a man-made otter, a mock mink and all sorts of other simulated mammals. Hiese figments of the animal kingdom came into being a few years ago when the textile industry began creating new fabrics that look and feel like fur. Against The Law It is, as you might suspect, against the law for a garment manufacturer or merchant to take a 'coat that is made of cloth and advertise, label or otherwise identify it as a fur coat Everyone agrees on that. The point at issue is the use of such terms as “fake furs” . and “make-believe leopard” to describe* these garments. The FTC has taken the position that it is misleading and deceptive to apply animal names to fabrics in any form whatsover. _ As the FTC interprets the law, fake furs must not be identified as fake furs, but only as fabrics. With this the real fur industry, which regards fake furs as competition, is in complete accord. Furriers contend that when a cloth coast is advertised as “make - believe leopard,” the customers are likely to notice the “leopard” and miss the “make-believe.” Hie fabric people, on the other hand, strongly oppose the ruling. They contend that merely listing the fiber content does not adequately describe a coat that resumbles fur. If a coat looks like fur, they argue, the best way to keep the customer • from being deceived is to make it clear on the label that it is not fur. And, as one spokesman put it, “In order to call a fake spade a fake spade, it is necessary to use the word ’space.’ ” came away from the hearing feeling a bit like I had been a guest at the mad tea party. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I would like to propose a solution to the controversy. Since the dispute grew out of giving fabrics the names of animals, it could be settled simply enough by giving animals the names of fabrics. If the leopard, for instance, were only named “acrylic,” it would make everybody happy. Richmond Workman Is Fatally Injured RICHMOND, Ind. (UPI) — Clarence E. Hammontree, 39, R. R. 2, Richmond, died Friday from injuries suffered two days earlier when he was hit by a bus at the Wayne Works, a school bus body manufacturing concern, where he worked as a welder.

Urges Judges Act On Redistricting INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —Former state Sen. Nelson G. Grills, Indianapolis Democrat, filed a brief with Federal Court late Friday urging a panel of federal judges to do something now about legislative reapportionment. Grills said the majority of the three-member panel had ruled that the state’s apportionment acts were unconstitutional but had given the legislature until 1965 to change them. “For this court or any other court to permit unconstitutional government to continue beyond a determination of its unconstitutionality is contrary to the basic principles of our Constitution defeating die separation of powers, seriously weakening the respect which the people hold for our constitution and finally destroying the faith and hope of men who look to thiscountry as the last bulwark of freedom," Grills said.
