Those who saw Sonja Henic with her Hollywood Ice Revue roust have caught the urge to become physically fit. The degree to which one may become physically fit is an individual problem. Recreation equipment as memories to those serving cur country in World War II will not only help to keep those in the service fit after they return home but will enable those who have not yet received physical conditioning training to become physically fit. Physical Fitness for America by Morris Fishbein, Herb Graffis and Col. Leonard G. Rowntree is continued from last week’s col*

umn:

Fishbein: Unless a man becomes highly efficient in some form of sport and keeps up that r.port right along, he is not likely to be able to step in and compete at once with younger men. He has to get back into the rhythm and technic that specialization in sports demands. Every sports fan knows, however, that the Chicago Bears sent for Sid Luckman, who was home on leave from the Navy, to play

ness and death rates of the Army and Navy in this war. Both Maj. Gen. Norman T. Kirk and Vice Admiral Ross T. McIntire have emphasized the fact that the wonerful physical conaition of our young men has been of immense help when they have been subjected to wounds oi exposed to disease. The death rate from wounds and from such diseases as pneumonia and meningitis in this war are reflections not only of the miracles wrought by good transportation, blood plasma, penicillin and surgery hut also of the fact that the boys were in top-notch physical con-

dition.

Rowntree: This war is not being won by a nation of physical weaklings. Both our enemies and our allies recognize the power of the American doughboys. They know that the basic material is sound. What it needs is training. Graffis: Where do the spectators come in on the physical fitness program? You know that the seat of the pants is the most used piece of athletic equipment in the nation—and that condition is not new. Seven hundred years before Christ the Olympic games were held at Mount Oylmpus because it provided seating facilities for thousands of spec-

tators.

Fishbein: As a chronic attendant at every first-class sports event that is anywhere in the vicinity, I can tell you that the t<erformances of the athletes are a great inspiration. The mental altitude toward physical fitness is about as important as any other factor. You have to want to be physically fit in order to get the most out of your training. Physical fitness is not something that you can impose on people by fiat or edict. Health education is a large part of the

coming back into the shops? Rowntree: I think a lot of j harm has been* done by the statement that a man over 40 should not exercise at all. Much of the work that is being done today in the Army and Navy and in civilian life too is being done by older men who have .kept themselves in good physical shape. If men stop exercising > after 40, a good deal of the world’s work will not be done.

IN MEMORY In loving meoiory of our dear ' son, brother and daddy, William | Perry McMains, who passed away Dec. 3, 1940. Called in the bloom of manhood, Just in the prime of life. Away from this world of sorrow, To a land so fair and bright. We miss him more than ever At this time of the year. But we know that he is watching O’er ones he loved so dear Nothing but memories as we journey on. Longing for a smile from our loved one gone. None knows the depth of om deep regret But we remember when others forget. Mom, Dad, Brothers, Mildred, and Sons.

Why The Veterans of Foreign Wars Is Backing The Sixth

War Loan Drive.

A sailor finds the grave of his brother, a Marine hero buried on Tarawa. The sailor is Alvin Haroldson, a member of Post No. 1856, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, Fort Dodge. Iowa. The brother was Palmer S. Haroldson, U. 8. Marine Corps.

BECAUSE the V. F. W. can help the dependents of their comrades who will never come home. BECAUSE they want thvir rights and privileges as individual veterans protected. BECAUSE they want to make certain their dependents will enjoy the protection to which they ar*e entitled. BECAUSE they want the security of knowing tht V. F. W. stands ready to help a comrade in distress. BECAUSE they may need the aid of trained V.F.W rehabilitation experts on matters pertaining to hospitalization, pensions, compensation, educational aid, federal loans, unemployment compensation, vocational training or employment. BECAUSE they want to make Certain the doors of the V. F. W. National Home will always be open to their widows and children if circumstances requite. BECAUSE the V. F. W. is a non-political, non-sectar-ian outfit concerned primarily with veteran welfare. BECAUSE the V.F.W. lapel emblem will always identify th“m as overseas veterans. ■> BECAUSE there is no real substitute for the comradeship which exists between men who have shared the same dangers and experiences. You can make your son, brother, husband or father a member of tho Veterans of Foreign Wars bf the United States if you have received a tetter which bears an A.P.O. return address showing he is overseas or aboard ship. Let us tell you how you can send him his credentials as a full-fledged member of the only veteran fraternity In America composed exclusively of overseas veterans. JESSE M.
