Nobody really wants to curtail tele-

really wanted to cut down the supply

have been accustomed TO buying ana
using whenever we wanted. Our pr1n-

Cultivated Relaxation

Cultivated relaxation consists in
taking a certain period in the day
and lying down and deliberately
relaxing the muscles, one after the
other This is not as easy TO do as
it sounds. People may lie down
and even go TO sleep and still be
tense in a good many Of their mus
eles. Progressive relaxation means
that YOU must think about all the
muscles IN the body in succession
and relax them until the entire
body is completely limp.
Begin with the eyes and the
forehead and let those muscles 90.
There is an entirely different feel
ing in your whole head when this
has occurred. Then relax the mus
eles Of the face and the neck. The
neck muscles often remain tense
when the rest Of the body is quite
relaxed. Thin the upper arms and
the lower arms and then the abdo-
men, which is another part Of the
body that Is seldom completely re-
Taxed.
1t takes little practice to at
tain complete relaxation in this
way, but within a week or ten days
anybody should be able to learn 70
do it. After that the relaxation
period should be made a regular
part Of the daily routine. Some
people will need two relaxation
periods: one in the morning and
one in the afternoon. With the
majority Of people a relaxation
period in the morning is the best.
Relaxing While Active
How to relax while active is
another lesson that many of US
need. The amount of waste of
energy that the average person is
guilty of while performing very
simple tasks is astonishing. Diff
ferential relaxation while at work
means TO have a minimum of ten
sions in the muscles requisite for
an act, along with the relaxation
Of the other muscles Of the body.
While you are sitting down you
should learn, until it. becomes in
stinctlye, 10 review the same pro-
cedure as that followed while ly-
ing down relaxing different mus
cles Of the body.
The benefit that many people re-
celye from this procedure is out Of
all proportion to its simplicity. DR..
Jacobson has testimonials from all
sorts Of people, including physi-
clans, expressing their gratitude
to him for the general benefit TO
their health that came from pro-
gressive and deliberate attention
to this routine Of relaxation

Air-Raid Alarms
(NeW York T'imes)

CNew York Times)
 Terror is the first weapon of the Totalitarians. They have used it again and again and again with tragic results every battlefront from the streets of Paris to the hills of Chungking They would like to turn it against their greatest and strongest enemy-the people of the United States. The east ern coast has had only dress rehearsal air-raid But the possibility of raids persists both coasts of the United States. And it is clear that the Total itarians would like to raids to throw state of panic. They are not so foolish to be- lieve that the threat of bombs falling in our city streets will us to surrender But they do hope to accomplish other results, of great value to them. They hope to create a popular clamor for defensive measures-a demand that we keep our ships at home to protect coasts; demand that we divert a large part of our productive equipment at into the manufacture of anti-aircraft guns demand, above all that we stop 'dssipating" our strength by sending planes and guns to Britain and to China and that we keep our weapons for our own protection"
 The American people have too much common sense and too clear view of what is happening in the world to fall for this obvious strategy of the Totalitarians. The worst possible defense" in this hour of great danger would be to do just what the Totalitarians want to do-namely, try to hide behind the oceans and keep our weapons for our own protection The reckless folly of such tactics can be illustrated by single powerful example If we had withheld from Britain the planes and guns she needed for the protection of her islands it is certain that those islands would be held by Hit ler-in which he would have acquired air bases in Iceland and at other points perhaps still closer to Eastern coastline And in that case we should have had mere dress rehearsal" air raid. Long before this time should have had the full fury of air over great cities.
 The only possible defense against the type of which the Barbarians have perfected is a ruthless and overpowerng offensive carried in full 
 We rely upon the intelligence of the American people to recognize this fact and understand the real purpose the present threat of Axis raids No threat on earth drive from policy of a- out aid to every enemy of treacherous Japan and every foe of Nazi Germany.

SILENCE THE HYSTERIA- -MONGER

Since month ago today in Alaska, and all down the Pacific Coast, have been dime a dozen. And if consider the quality of the rumors they have been mighty expensive at that price.
 In a recent column, Brg.-Gen. Hugh S John hit at the hystera-mongers as greater enemy within the nation than the Jap navy and air force would be if it moved much closer to our coastne than it is likely to get.
 As example man in the midst of the first Los Angeles blackout stood in front of a news stand and shouted that thousands of Japanese planes are Pasadena and heading for Los Angeles" The man was arrested and the next day the owner of the news stand reported that the rumor dispenser not employee of the stand and was com pletely unknown to him

 This is obvious part of Hter's technique of destroying public confidence and morale by stirring up scares," he declares
 If this be true We may be able to lay some of our wild rumors in Juneau ffth-columnists of the type But from the number of rumors to be heard along streets these days this city must have a lot more fifth-columnists at large than we have dreamed.
 Let us put it this way-the rumors are quite possibly started by with an uterior motive. But the more tragic sequence is that they then ampfed and repeated time and again, by persons who may otherwise be counted as good citizens That the tters they spread by these rumors are hardly the product of good citizenship goes without saying.
 If Gen Johnson is right and we could trace these rumors to their then would discover persons serving the enemy in their attempts to develop condition of alarmed hysteria on the part of the American people But have you ever at tempted to trace those wild tales to the person who started them?

the Parole Board, Moe Annenberg, publisher of the Philadelphia h. quirer and The Racing Form, is trying new strategy to get him. self out of the Federal pen for tax dodging.
 He is trying to drum up public support for his release.
 Those conducting the drive are agencies which distribute news papers and magazines to news stands throughout the United States. Director of the drive is Jo- seph Ottenstein, who owns many of these news agencies, some of them in cooperation with Amen berg
 To launch the drive, a meeting was held in Harrisburg, Pa, De- cember 26-27 attended by 27 off cers of leading eastern news deal- CTS. Ottenstein is planning similar meetings in the south, west, and Pacific Coast.
 Those attending the Harrisburg gathering were asked to sign a pe- tition urging Annenberg's release on the ground that in this war period he would be serving the country better at his desk as pub- fisher of his big Philadelphia news- paper than in prison.
