Spinach Is Conducive
To Physical Activity

Experiments with rats at the
Pennsylvania State college have
shown that spinach, which contains
vitanin A, is conducive to physical
activity. DR.. N. B. Guerrant, pro-
fessor of biological chemistry, who
conducted the experiments, declared
that the effects produced in rats may
be the same in humans.
In some of the tests, the rats
were allowed to take voluntary ex-
ercise in special types Of rotating
cages, and in others the cages were
rotated a definite number Of times
daily, a practice which forced the
rats to ego for walks" The ami
mails which were fed no vitamin A
were less inclined to exercise vol
unfairly than those which were al
lowed an adequate amount Of this
food element in their diet. The ener-
getic rats made smaller increases
in body weight and required less
vitamin A than the lazy rats, ap-
parently because their systems
made better use Of the food eaten.
Thus far the investigation has
shown that an adequate amount of
vitamin A in the diet is conducive
to physical activity. Rats which
were forced to exercise actually con-
sumed less food than litter mates
which were confined or allowed to
exercise at will. The fact that they
consumed less food when performing
vigorous exercises may not be
strange, said DR.. Huerrant, pointing
out that men doing hard work are
inclined to eat more on their days
off than when actually on the job.

PLAY safel

You hear SO many don'ts, dry pre-
cautions, and general advice about
being careful with your guns that
you get tired of 1t all and pay little
attention to any of it. That's when
you start getting dangerous with
gun.
If you will remember that death
started most of these slogans, and
that you can kill or cripple some
one before you realize what has
happened, then perhaps you would
look on these seemingly humdrum
warnings in new light. Know
where your bullet is going when you
shoot at tin can. Always handle
firearm as if it were loaded and
cooked. Never leave an arm loaded
while in camp or in a car. Lastly,
liquor plus gunpowder equal death.

A SOUND INVESTMENT
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOV American:
In discussing the Townsend Ma
tional Recovery plan, it is some
times asked, "Will this plan destroy
thrift" 1t all depends upon how we
look upon this thing called thrift"
Now if we would have actually saved
and placed in the bank, hid in the
mattress or buried in the ground,
all the money that has been COL
lected for gasoline taxes during the
past 20 years, we would have saved
several billions of dollars. No one
will deny that this would have been
some thrift. We would still be
using the horse and buggy and a trip
into the adjoining county would be
an epoch-making event.
However, instead of being thrifty
and saving all this money, we elected
to spend every cent of it in a sound,
constructive and specific program,
namely, the building of good roads.
Today the tremendous widespread
benefits derived from this scientific
taxing and spending program is un-
paralleled in tax history. Who would
abolish our paved highways, their
business and wealth creating effects
and return to the mud roads of
yesteryear? Who will say that. this
spending destroys thrift?
Now a study of the Townsend plan
will reveal that this plan embodies
the same scientific principles that we
have used so successfully in the
building of our good roads. What
the gas tax has done for our nations
highway system, the gross income tax
in the Townsend plan will eventually
accomplish for our nations economic
system. The Townsend plan is ac
tually a sound and constructive pay
as-you-go investment for the securi-
ty of all our citizens, both young and
old, and a sound national invest
ment is the best kind of thrift.

Steps Toward Peace

Herewith is copy of a resolu-
ton and petition sponsored and
circulated for signatures by the
Campaign for World Govern
ment, at 166 West Jackson Blvd,
Chicago. The purpose is to
establish a basis for world peace
and to emerge from the cloud
of repetitious and devastating
wars. The petition follows:
WHEREAS, freedom loving Ameri-
cans see democracy threatened in the
wars now raging, and recognize that
the present crisis calls for bold, cour-
ageous action, and
WHEREAS, the U. S. A., if it goes
to war, will endanger its own de-
mocracy and spend millions OF lives
and billions of dollars for an I'M
known goal, and
WHEREAS, it is only practical to
try first modern scientific methods of
prom ing just peace before
stumbling blindly into an old fash
Toned campaign of slaughter,
THEREFORE, we, the undersigned
citizens of the United States of
America, hereby urge the Foreign
Affairs Committee of the House of
Representatives to hold public hear
ings on House Joint Resolution 131,
introduced March by Hon. Rudolph
G. Tenerowicz, authorizing an ap-
preparation of fifty million dollars,
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1941-08-14

lied large-scale army in the entire
world, from the standpoint of hier-
archical structure, absolute command,
and internal discipline. The remili-
tarization of the army has in turn
reacted upon industry. "War in
dustries" are increasingly placed di-
rectly under the army. The Soviet
Union is rapidly being turned into
one vast military encampment.
Can it be that freedom-loving
Americans would want to help this
nation on to victory? Or will their
common sense cause them to ap-
praise the situation realistically and
realize that the choice between Stain
and Hitler is not worth the life of a
single American boy, still less the
jeopardy of our own democracy?
