The Measure of Health

One Of the greatest combined
coaches and trainers / ever knew
was Keene Fitzpatrick who gave
nearly SO years Of his life to condi-
tioning before he retired.
After leaving Michigan, Keene
came to Princeton, where he trained
Tiger entries in football. track and
crew. He never missed a days
work in A consecutive years.
when / was over go years DID,"
Fitzpatrick told me. Il was in much
better physical shape than many of
the young athletes returning to col
lege after q summers vacation. I
could actually outrun them. tired
far less than they did. Some of
them returned to college far over
weight. facing long struggle to get
right again"
II am . great believer in watch
ing your weight carefully" Keene
added. 1--WE seen too many serious
things happen 10 those putting on 10,
20 or 20 pounds. Diet nnd exercise
will take care Of this"
Keene was 100 per cent right. One
answer TO his idea 10 the case Of
Joe Louis who might easily have put
on Is or 20 pounds. but who has new
er varied more than two pounds In
his ring career. Any athlete who has
to keep putting on and taking OF
weight is facing a. heavy handicap.
no matter how good be may be.

OTHERS VIEWS
ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF
PROGRESS
To the Editor

10 the Editor:
Yes sir, that's what Henderson is
g ing to say OF July FIRST and on that
day it is also going to have an cleo
ton when the people will decide if
they are going to continue this prog
ress or stand still and say, we have
progressed enough. | don't believe
they are going to be satisfied to stand
still or go backwards after 100 years
of going fcrWard, | think they are
going to carry this election with a
comfortable majority and tell the
world that Henderson has just start
ed another 100 years of progress. If
this school election is defeated, lets
put another banner across the street
and say, After 100 Years Henderson
has voted t. quit progressing and has
started on 100 years Of going back
ward, but l just don't believe they
are going to have to say that, it is
true | know that quite a few are
against more schools. but its rather
funny that most Of them have no
children, not going to have any or
their children have finished school.
If they don't give a "hoot' about
other peoples children. Oh, no, we
can't stand l8c more taxes, if they
put this over and close the A.B.C.
store we are ruined, what a lot of
tommy-rot. Mr.. Dennis you wrote
quite an editorial on this subject a
few days ago, the fault I found with
Henderson daily dispatch., 1941-06-28

issue, and the other people ough,
not to do II.
We are not here to question the
patriotism f landlords; they can
look after them own interests in that
respect better than we. But ii is q
fact that landlords have plainly
stated they would increase rents on
their property il this school tan is
carried. Their word is WI authority,
and it is a matter Of knowledge that
some tenants have been told in ad-
vance OF what is TO happen.
1t has been intimated, too, that
some opp nents of the taX are keep
Ing their silence out Of fear nat
their children in the schools may b."
penalIzed IN their grades and them
treatment if the parents become too
open and toe active. How much
Justification there is for this feeling
no n knows now, but it is a known
fact that the feeling exists.
At any rate, whatever the outcome
may be, it viii be known shortly. On
the issue itself we have, for u part,
as has been said, no feeling or
hostility. II the election carries we
shall accept the result with good
grace, as the school board has said
it would if the result were the other
way. We are not fighting the schools
out of any enmity Il hostility to
them, o from a miserly standpoint.
TIE plain fact is that we are wholly
convinced that this is no time, and S
the worst time imaginable, for &
campaign Of this sort. Those towns
cited with so much jubilation rs
having all done what we are now
asked to do, acted when they
were not faced with the crushing
tax load that now contronts them
and us, and had they done so, the
record might not be a thing justify
ing so much ballyhoo by advocates
of the local tax.
1t has been said that the big pro
perry Wne are not opposing the
tax, but it is probably rue that
many more Of this class of citizens
can be counted in the opposition
than among the advocates.

Crux of the Issue

Whatever may be said about the
special school TAX proposal, it all
SINNERS down IN the final analysis
10 the cost. If ii didn't cost any
ting. there would not be much OPP
position 10 it. Moreover, this cost
IN and Of itself al,ne, as heavy as
it may be, is but n item and an
other item to be added TO u~nprecend-
ented burdens Of vital and essential
national defense expenditures that
are being made and must be made
for the safety of the nation.
For our own part, certainly, there
is no personal feeling in the matter.
Nor is there the slightest Vestige Of
hostility from us toward the schools.
This is the first time during 4 long
residence IN Henderson that we have
not been Fundamentally and with
enthusiasm for everything that has
been attempted for broadening and
improving the schools, and the high
est administrative school authority
in the community has personally
given testimony to that tact.
/ We yield !. no me priority in sin
cere support Of the movement six
years ago for building of the new
hjgh school, as we'll as other steps IN
the earme forward march. In the
face of this record, no one can with
Justice lay the charge at our door
now Of attempting to obstruct prog
ress for the sake of obstruction alone.
It is an incOntrOVertible fact that we
were talking and fighting for the
schools When many of the present
"holier-than-thou' group were eth
er fighting and o~bstructing to the ut
most of their ability or were lndlf-
ferent and standing on the sidelines.
Our position with respect to schools
always has been and is now that
money wisely spent for education
was justified-provided always that
you have the money and can afford
to spend it for that purpose. We DC
not think an additional tax burden
of $40, 900 or more can with prOprlety
be added at this time to leVies al
ready and soon to be laid upon the
people generally. 1t will mean fol
many people, when Jumped with
other costs so soon to be forced II
them, a matter of sacrifice to the
bone, and sacrifice whose lessenlng
or Tightening by any honorable
means is justified.
It is true that this election was
called only after a petition had beer
filed with the school board asking it
but the petition was signed by only
eight people, and at least two O.
them have already repudlated thei,
action and have stated they woulc
not vote for the tax. 1t is reliably
reported that two others cf the eigh
will also vote negative. Never befoR
has any sort of an election been helt
in Vance county at the behest of
mere eight individuals. 1t require
something like 1000 to 1900 names

promote and carry this election ca
be justified. We do not know tina
