from SIS to 65. Australia has raised

e than 100000 men between the
ages Of IS and 81, many Of whom
have had previous military, naval
or other experience, and who are
able. willing and ready to Join the
armed forces.
Lifting Of the age limit would
open this reservoir Of man power
and enable the nation to utilize the
experience and ability OF the older
men who are physically qualified
for active service.
Why wait for a dire extremity

That youthful. resilient Strength

hard work. The best way Is TO
keep young muscles and bones
flexible and responsive but. since
most of us wait until after the
teen age and early twenties are
past. we just have to concen-
trate and work all the harder.
The following movement Is
one YOU will like. It's not easy.
Sit on the floor. stretch right
leg out in front. Rise on left
knee and reach left leg back as
far as possible. then try TO rise
with weight on the feet.
Have a chair so you can reach
il for balance until you can
raise the body up and down
without any support. Try to
repeat this movement five times.
To relieve muscle strain, stand
up and. with pointed toes. kick
20 times waist high OF higher
with each leg. Do this between
all special movements.
