Back Bends

You have to be choosy about
your exercises. OF course, you
want 10 keep your waistline
slim and your hips down-and
you can. But not with just any
exercise.
The backward bends. bending
forward TO touch the floor, and
lying on the back on the floor
and raising both feet off floor
are all taboo.
You can get results that are
Just as good without the chance
of strain.
AS a matter of fact, there are
some exercise problems of this
kind that require the supervi-
sion of a specialist in corrective
eXercise-a hip that is out of
line. a high shoulder, or a sacro-
lilac that slips.
Go to the best person you can
find and learn how to do the
exercises you need correctly.
Some hospitals have a phySio-
therapy department with an eX-
pert in charge. Or, there may
be some one at your YWCA who
is qualified to help you.
If not, you should be able to
get the information there as 10
where to go. Or ask your doctor
to recommend a corrective eXer-
else expert.

YOU HAVE to have a weak
back 10 realize how lucky any
one is TO have a strong one.
If yours is weak, be a sissy.
Don't lift anything that might
strain it and be careful about
bending over to tie your shoe
laces! Bend your knees and keep
your back straight in all lifting
and STOPPING.
If your back is very unreli-
able. don't sleep on a too soft
mattress. That let's your spine
sag into a crooked line. A hard
mattress is better for you.
In very bad cases. the doctor
will advise wide board be-
tween the mattress and springs
so that there is no give.
A swing hammock is another
thing that's hard on a weak
back. 1t doesn't give any sup

REAL TR0UPER
Dennis Keane Rides to
First Alarm Seconds Att
er Reporting First Day

At least one of Waterbury's new
est firemen, with barely two. days Ct
service behind him, knows what a
fireman's life is like.
Dennis Keane, one of seven new
firemen appointed by the board OF
fire commissioners last Friday after
noon, was assigned to duty at the
East Main street firehouSe and Or
dered to report at o'clock Mon-
day morning.
He was prompt on the job, but no
prompter than bell alarm which
sounded almost at the moment he
walked through the doorway and
reported to the officer in charge
Private Keane was tossed a coat
and in less than 80 seconds was
sailing out the door of the firehouse
on the rear end of a fire engine
bound for Town Plot where the
company with several others fought
a house fire on Fairfield avenue.
When the fire was out and the
engines had returned to their quar-
tiers Private Keane was properly in
troduced to his fellow members and
the rudiments of his job.
