AS TO the necessity of taking
"A regular exercise DR.. Logan
Clendening said:
"Faddists are continually pro-
claiming the value Of exercise;
four people out Of five are more
In need of rest than exercise"
Some military experts claim a
phyically fit man in his forties
makes a better soldier. espe-
cially in modern warfare, than
a man in his twenties..
They say a man in his forties
has been through more tough
timesa in his life than a young
fellow and can stand adversely

Richter claimed:

What War Bonds Buy

Essential in the equipment OF
every soldier, sailor, marine or
flyer is a first aid kit. consisting
of bandages and antiseptics for
inStanteous use. These materials
are packed into a compact box
and cost about S1.50 each.
We need millions of these first
aid kits for emergency treat
ment. They are also used by
Red Cross workers, in field hos
pitfalls and wherever needed until
hospital treatment may be OBJ
tanned. Every student could buy
one or more of these kits
through purchase of war stamps.
The schools al war program
will show you how to buy stamps
regularly.

The Brighter Side

THEN there was Elmer Tut
- weller. 80 years old, sparse
built and balding, who used to
be a right handed pitcher for
Mobile under Milton Stock and
who hurled the old equine pelt
in other southern towns and was
once up with the Pittsburgh Pr
rates for a look-see from Pie
Traynor.
Elmer. like Joe Benjamin and
Cupe Perry and Jerry Jacoby,
was finishing up boot camp in
the United States Marines when
saw him. but wore his private'S
uniform with something of an
air. He was working for the
Dupont Corporation in Birming-
ham when he enlisted. That is
the only way you can get in the
marines-by enlisting.
Cupe Perry, the former COL
lege and professional footballer
l told you about the other day,
also worked for the DuPonts in
Birmingham Both he and Tut
weller wear the badges of rifle
experts. Tutweiler said he had
put in a lot of time working in
coal mines in the South between
baseball engagements but he
thought boot camp was even
tougher on a man than the
mines.
WHILE I was talking to Tut
w weller, along came Pvt. Cy

Skin Sill SensifiCe

Nine days of continuous ex-
pesuFe had not yet hardened our
skins against the suns fierce rays.
Our boards. long and unkempt by
now. protected our faces partially.
l suppose. but our lips and tender
noses continued TO suffer They
burned raw peeled and painfully
burned again.
The round patch on my wrist,
where / had worn a watch for
many years. felt as if it had been
scared by a branding iron. Most
of the time this spot was covered
by heavy scab, until the scab fell
off. and IL blistered and scabbed
again. and again and again.
We had a lot of trouble with
our lips, especially Tony. Singing
saltwater baths, which we could
not avoid, continually irritated the
cracked and blistered flesh.
When sea water splashed In
Tony'S face. he could not refrain
from licking the brine from his
lips with his tongue. Then he
would bite them in his pain, and
start them bleeding.

FREEDOM OF speech and free

For the former we would all

1t was estimated that II the 2S.-

there is absolutely no reason to
raise the price Of bottled milk. The

for the milk they SELL" This amend
