"Memorials That Live" will make poss.ble a community physical fitness program. The following discussion on Physical Fitness for America appeared in Hygeia. November, 1944: The following discussion of physical fitness,was broadcast in connection with a recent meeting of the .Joint Committee of the American Medical Association and the National Council of Physical Fitness. Participating in the program were Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of The Journal of the American Medical Assoc ation and Hygeia: Col. Leonard C. Rowntree, chief of the Medical Division of the Selective Service System: and Herb Graffis, sports columnist of Esquire and editor of Golfdom magazine. Graffis: What is physical fitness. Doctor?. I would be content to get out of bed without having to use a spiritual block and tackle on myself, walk without looking for a cab and get my work done without having to force myself. If I could do that, would 1 be in good physical condi-
tion?
Fishbein: Physical fitness implies that the organs of the body are physically sound and capable of working efficiently. It implies specific fitness for skill in certain performances. It includes the practice of good personal hygiene and the application of established knowledge to improving the health and fitness of the human body. Physical fitness means more than just the ability to get around without suffering. It means the kind of abundant and buoyant health that gives you the drive and energy that are necessary for happi ness under modern conditions of work and living. Rowntrse: When the doctors of the Selective Service System examined the registrants they found not only ’a number of preventable and correctable defects, deficiencies, disabilities and disorders but also they found that a good many of the young men were pampered, soft, flabby and in need of conditioning. Special training in physical fitness was necessary for these men after induction into the Army to make them capable of military service. This represented weeks of wasted time and effort which could have been avoided f these young men had been physica'ly fit before induction. Physical fitness is a matter of development. It includes strength, endurance, stamina, initiative and emotional stability. To me physical fitness is a state of the body that combines maximum power and efficiency with the minimum time for recovery from fatigue after exhaustion. Graffis: Well, whose fault are the 4-F’s? Can they blame it on their parents, or is it just general ignor-
ance, the kids’ carelessness or just
tough luck ?
Rowntree: There is, of course, no single cause for a 4-F. Out of a total of more than 4.000,000 of them there were at least 1,500,000 that we would call unpt even table and uncorrectable. There were lots of others, however, in whom attention to the ’hings you mention would have done a great deal of good. If parents let a child go on for years with infected I tonsils, bad cough, decaying teeth or i rupture, they are assuming the dame for the rating of 4-F that th» boy will get if he ever comes up for examination. Lots of times this must be due to ignorance. Certainly you
cannot blame it on
lessness. On the other hand, 1 1 ~ should say that a child born with a I un defective heart or with deficlenci'.-a | of its glands, or a child that gets i 1 ' * diabetes when it is very young, is
just out of luck.
Graffis: Do you think, Doctor ] Fishbein. that girls in the 12 to 12 | year old group average any better j physical condition than boys in the
same age group?
Fishbein: I doubt that there are many accurate figures on the subject, but they did make a study in Cincinnati of the fitness of high school students, checking the records ' for boys and girls separately. They ^ found that the figures for the gif's , were in general just about the same as those for the boys as far as defects of the lungs and teeth were concerned. There were more cases of disturbances of the heart among

produced, crews must undergo training and additional bases must be
built.
Howvver, they say it is apparent that the problems of the 20th are “over the hump" and that the new conception of aerial warfare is a resounding success. From this point onward, Arnold promised, Japan will “reap the whirlwind.” Military men consider the announcement that the Tokyo raiders took off from Saipan as the most important item in yesterday's communique. The new base not only places the B-29s within very economical bombing rang? but also erases the worst of the logistics problems of supplying the planes' enormous appetite for j gasoline and bombs. Along with the bases in India and China, it completes the strategic picture, at least for the time being.

wondering how the results of physical conditioning in the Army and Navy will be reflected in the performances of athletes who return from the armed services a few years older and lacking practice In theii specialized sports. Would you say, Colonel Rowntree. that the Army doctors’ point of view would be that the over-all physical condition of these returning athletes will be such that they will have a good chance to resume their former ratings in their
games ?
Rowntree: Everybody knows that the first step for any athletic sport is general physical conditioning. The records made by the football team from Great Lakes and the baseball teams from a good many of our Army camps show that the players who have been through Army and Navy phvslcal conditioning can certainly hold their own with even the best of professional athletes.
