Smyrna times., 1943-12-09

We all have met people whose
lives seem to be continually miser-
able and unhappy. And as we seek
to inquire into the reason for
their unhappiness, we discover that
it is because they are always
thinking about something that has
been distasteful to them, some un-
happy experience through which
they have gone.
They are constantly thinking of
their pains and aches. They are
constantly reminding themselves of
their past sicknesses and sorrows.
They keep thinking of the injus-
tice, the evil, the misfortune which
has befallen them. They keep
holding before their minds the
troubles that they fear the future
has for them.
How can the sun shine into their
minds while they are constantly be-
clouding their skies with resent
ments, i'll feelings, worries and
breads?
If you want to live miserably,
just keep on thinking of the most
miserablel things you can. Low

swamp of encouragement, despair
and despondency.
If, however, you would lift your
life out of SUCH miserable living,
you must first of all lift your
thoughts and keep them lifted. You
must brighten them and keep them

By a deliberate effort in direct

transformed into a mental par

can fellowship with God.
The beginning of such a trans

"Then suddenly l felt the muscles
and ligaments in my legs begin to

that if l continued any longer at this

MAYBE I was wrong in this guess.
Maybe l could have finished with

THE price was too high. So. in

duced my speed. At the finish the
muscles in both legs were still quiv-

down I still finished in 925 seconds.

Horses Burn Out, Too

Horses are much like humans in
this respect" a veteran trainer said,
in discussing human and other ami
NAL limits.
Take the case of Johnstown.
Here was probably the fastest run
ming horse that ever lived. He was
clicked o than once in mile
workouts around l minute 1925 Sec
onds, or 1898. That's binding
speed. But the pace was more than
his system could carry. He was
through in the middle of his three
year rec He burnt himself out
through some form of throat all
ment.
I'm the same way, super-speed
was largely responsible for Count
Fleets summer trouble. He had had
several things happen to him in rae
ing, for which extra speed was large
ly responsible. 1t might be posi-
BILE for a horse to III a mile in 1888,
but l doubt that his legs or anatomy
could stand it,"
A four-minute mile doesn't call for
anything like the speed approaching
a fast 100 yard squirt, but it means
close to the limit in the way of
time for a far longer period.
A quarter mile in a minute fiat is
still some Is seconds over the record
for that distance. But a four minute
mile is close to a sprint, and that's
a long way to 60.
There is still considerable doubt
that Anderson of Sweden was cor
rectly timed in his 400 plus mile.
He may have been, but the odds are
not that way.
Hagg will still have to clip a trife
more than four seconds from his fast
est time, and four seconds mean a
good many yards.
1t would take some pacing oppo-
nent good enough for 4:02 or better
to give Hagg his four-minute chance.
And there is no such other miller
now in sight unless Anderson, an
other fast Swede, can do the job.
It's something like Warmerdam
looking for those extra inches in the
pole vault to lift his body Is feet.

ord for a mile in 1:58. He was
