One of the radios most tai
ented is BeSs johnson of the
lovely voice, and she believes
that any one can learn to relax
so successfully that moments of
easing up can be snatched at
intervals throughout the day.
She says you can get so you can
relax in an office chair, or hang
ing onto a subway strap. If
she can do that, her program is
worth trying.
She starts the day right with
a few easy. relaxing exercises
not Just occasionally, but every
morning. And since muscular
tension is tied up with nervous
tension, it is obvious that a re-
taxing sendoff has its points.
First, good, tip to : toe
stretch like this: Lie on the
back on the floor. stretched to
full extension, arms on floor
overhead and legs down. Pull,
then 60 limp. Repeat the stretch
relax six times, and when you
stop smilel If you think it's
funny, laugh out loud! Smiles
and laughter tend to ease the
tension out of YOUR face.

Relax Shoulders

TO relax your shoulders,
Shrug them. Do this by hunch-
ing your shoulders up around
your ears and back down,
circling with the shoulder tips.
That one, by the way, can be
done when you are sitting for
hours in a chair.
Another BeSs johnson favorite
is TO stand with feet apart. then
flop over at the waist letting

THERE ARE probably many
natural born relaxers-like the
old man who fell asleep every
time he sat down to worry. But
il is something the very ambi-
tious have To learn, Ii doesn't
come natural to them. And the
more important the job and the
buster one is. the greater the
necessity for learning to relax.
One of the first signs. of ten
sion is the sharp edge it gives
the voice. So l decided to follow
that line and find out how a
radio actress combats tension
radio work is a notorious tension
maker because of the timing:
Ready, one second and you're
