Three Fitness Programs

Doctor Morriss Fishbein, editor of
the Journal of the American Medical
Association, told the annual Congress
of Industrial Health, meeting in Boston,
that even if the American people are
the healthiest in the world, they ought
to start a program now of physical fit
ness for better community welfare.
1--WE have not in this country even
started a program of health teaching"
he told the convention. "The teaching
of health should be systematic and
organized with competent teachers"
Of course the eminent physician and
editor is correct. We should have a ma
tional health program. The need for,
as we'll as the lack of, such a program
was brought forcibly home during the
induction period at the start of the
late unpleasantness. Colonel Richard H.
Eames, chief medical officer of the
Selective Service at Washington con-
firmed Doctor Fishbein's opinion, de-
claring "plans should be formulated
now" for a countryside physical fitness
program.
Let's have such a program, under
competent direction, in every city, town
and hamlet of the nation. At the same
time let's do something about a spiritual
program and a moral program. Spirit
ual and moral fitness are quite neces-
sary as physical fitness, if the Ameri-
can people are to exert their best influ-
ence upon a troubled world.

ed that they had lost most of this
inc-ase by rising living costs, and
they brought the same losses on
all other workers.
Had they been really willing to
accept smaller increases and ad-
just th~ir demands by genuine col
lective bargaining to industry's
ability to pay, they would be better
off today and so would all Amer
lean workers"
The council said that from VI
Day through May 81, 1946, unions
outside the ALL were responsible
for II per cent of all those made

We should recall that the leaders OF
the United Nations did not readily agree
on all occasions as to the ways to prose
cute World War II. However they did
agree that the war had to be won and
within the framework Of the United
Nations the hordes of aggression were
ground into the dust. Few can deny
that even that loose framework sue

And that parhaps is the core OF the
entire problem.
Institutions, regardless how strong
or perfect, depend for their success or
failure on the human element.
If all the nations of the world were
to devote half of the energy and time

soon become a reality.

Scientific SnOOZing

We see where science, having pretty
we'll licked the problem of how to blow
up or poison most of mankind, is again
turning it's attention to the familiar but
still battling phenomenon of sleep. At
least some of the General Electric
scientists are tackling it.
They're investigating, we under
stand, the claim of some experts Tin
Guiding your grandmother and ours that
it's the quality of the sleep you get in
your first few hours in bed that counts.
They're also investigating meteorilogi-
cal and seasonal factors. And they've
already discovered that women are cold
err than men. Lower m%etabolism, that's
why.
What may come of all this is a two
control automatic blanket, and perhaps
n that can be heated %regionally, or
zonally, on each side. We're all for that,
as any sensible person is bound to be.
We don't know what such a gadget
would do for sleep, but it looks like a
great boon to domestic felicity.
We can see only one drawback. By
the time Pa and Ma get the port and
starboard sides of the electric blanket
adjusted and have made further region
al %fore-and-aft regulations to their
liking, it's just possible that one OF
more of those refreshing early sleeping
hours might be gone.

Russia and the countries it now
controls, the report said, are mot
interested in making peace but in
utilization of the peace forum as
well as the occupation of conquer
ed territory as opportunities to
extend control of the Communist
party and expand a despotism as
cruel and bloody as any recorded
in history"
Saying that until lately the Dem
ocrats failed to realize that the
USSR was bent on imperialism
and aggressive politics to expand
it's power" the report added that
'if that free government is i'm
periled by further policies Of ap-
peasement; we expect u govern
ment to insist upon justice for all
states whether small o. large"
1T is easy to see now,' the re-
port said, that unfaltering insis-
tence on moral standards and the
rights of small nations could have
prevented World War H."
The council reported AFL mem
bership at 7.151, 808 and said that
the organizations 81, 900, 600 treas
ury balance on August 81, 1945.
despite receipts since then of ST.
280, 900, had now been reduced to
81, 742, 900 principally due to organ
expenditures. The council
recommended that the convention
order an increase in union per

to meet greater demands on ALL

Accused By AFL OF Attempt
To Use Peace Conference For Gain

CHICAGO, Oct. 6 - () - The

executive council Sunday accused
Russia of attempting to use the
Paris Peace Conference to extent
Soviet control and create new
opportunities for aggression"
The councils .strongly-Worded
comments on the Soviet Union we're
contained in a report made on the
eve of the AFL's sixty fifth annual
convention. The report also com
planned of lack of labor representa-.
ton in the U. S. delegation to the

THE delaying tactics and aggres-
-sive accusations usd by the Soviet
representatives in the Paris con-
ference make plain that the agents
Of the Communist party are not
seeking peace but new opportuni-
ties for aggression" the AFL coun-
Gil report said.

l have often predicted that
American Contract Bridge League
Master Points would become inter-
national some day. Canada has
taken up the idea, and Master
Points be awarded at the Province
Of Quebec Championships to be
held at the Winsdor Hotel in Mon
treal Oct. 10, 10 and 20. Several
players from the United States
are planning to attend this tour
|nament, and they will find that
our Canadian friends are excellent
card players.
Today's hand was played by Mrs.
Mimi R%oncarelli. a member Of
the Montreal committee. Her bid
ding was rather optimistic, but
many good players overbid, and
the three ace-king combinations
look good. The fact that North
simply took a choice would not
always pustify jumping to the slam,
but Mrs. Roncarelli's play did.
After trumping the opening
lead she realized that her con-
tract was safe unless one opponent
held four trumps. She led a small
trump and West made the correct
play of the nine-spot. Dummy's
jack was played and East showed
out.
Now it was only a matter OF
picking up two more t-umps, then
playing spades until West trumped.
Dummy's losing club and diamond
were discarded on the good spades.
Mrs. Roncarelli's play may seem
rather unusual. but this type Of
safety play is well known to the
expert. However, this is one of the
prettiest variations Of it that I
have ever seen

PRESSURE
MAY BE HARMLESS
By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, NJ. n

By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, NJ. n.
High blood pressure may last for
years without producing any effect
upon the body.
In the early stages, the small
arteries are CONSTRUCTED, so that
the blood pressure fluctuates;
later, these vessels harden, and
a more permanent elevation OF the
pressure results.
In taking blood-pressure read
ings, physicians have learned the
various ways and means of getting
the lowest reading, which is tne
real one.
Most nervous, apprehensive In
dividuals become disturbed when
their blood-pressure reading is
taken, and this causes their pres
sure to 60 up. The heart may beat
rapidly, and they may show other
signs of nervousness.
In the average case Of high
blood pressure, there is no evi.
dence of disease in any organ. In
some instances high pressure is
secondary to a disease, but this is
uncommon.
The average h~igh-blood pres.
SURF patient is a tense individual.
He shows it in his physical ap-
pearance, and undoubtedly this is
a reflection of how he feels in
Wardly.
Most patients are too concerned
about their blood-pressure read
ings-they fail to realize that there
are many fluctuations which are
not related to disease.
The systolic pressure (Which is
read at the end of contraction Of
the heart) varies from ITO to $50
nm. of mercury; the diastolic
pressure is read when the heart
is empty, and it varies from 70
to 80 mm. of mercury.
There is a gradual rise Of blood
pressure in all persons between
40 and so years Of age; after the
Goth year the rise is more rapid.
Average blood pressure must
not be confused with normal pres
sures. The former r obtained
by averaging the pressures Of
many persons, while the latter
represent an effort to draw the
line between normal and abnormal
readings.
Most physicians are optimistic
when a middle-aged person shows
a slight elevation in blood pres
sure without other signs of disease.
The average case supports such a
viewpoint, for few UGH patients
are greatly affected by the extra
pressure.
Personality studies Of patients
with high blood pressure shows
that most of them are ambitious,
but afraid of not making good.
They tend to be shy except when
off guard. They are perfection
lists and wish to have everything
just so.
In some, however, none of these
characteristics is noted.
Most patients with high blood
pressure feel better when they I'm
derstand their disease and learn 10
understand themselves.
Their families should also be
given an explanation of the diff
Guilty, and their cooperation
should be solicited. The patients
should not, however, rely too much
on others for encouragement; they
should strive to be self-reliant.
QUESTION: My son was reject
ed for military service because Of
albumin in the urine. 1t disap-
peared from his urine, during the
examination, when he was lying
down. My second son has the
same difficulty. Do you think it
could be due to faulty posture?
ANSWER: Albumin in the urine
which disappears when the patient
lies down is postural albuminuria.
1t disappears completely as the
patient grows older.

BY T. ELLIS
WITHOUT REMORSE

1 have never been able to get
out of my mind the figure OF a
fine young naval officer with
whom 1 once breakfasted in the
Constantinople Club. He had been
out on a party" the night before,
and on the morning after was
plunged in remorse and self-re-
proaches. He had betrayed his
heritage of clean living, and
cursed himself and his companians
whom he had been weak enough to
follow . If, on the night before, he
could have seen himself as he saw
himself on that black morning,
he never would have gone on that
expedition after illusory pleasure.
One trouble with the pleasures
of sin" is that they are only 'for
a season." and are followed by re-
morse that abides. One of youths
commonest blunders is the failure
to realize that it is fun to be
decent. There are more and bet
ter good times to be had by those
who carry their s%elf-respect I'M
sullied through life than by those
who loiter along the primrose path
of sin.
THE morning after" tests the
worth-whileness of pleasure. Clean
fun. gracious conversation, worth
while interests, good books, reli-
gious activity, friendship on a
high plane, the pursuit of know
ledge-these r pleasures that
are as sweet in memory as in
experience. They have the bless
ing Of God. (Which maketh rich

Pointing The Way

The United Nations can prevent war
only if both peoples and their govern
ments make good use of the worldwide
peace organization they have created
for that purpose, according to Herschel
V. johnson, the American delegate to
the UN's security council.
'The best possible blueprint" for
heading off World War III will never
be as potent as accepted and working
institutions to be found in the vast
majority of the nations of the world
today, the American statesman caution
ed.
His remarks may irk the champions
OF a world federation who would con-
solidate the entire globe into one colos-
sal super-state wherein the natural re-
sources of America would be easy prey
for the more scheming nations. He was
quick to point out that despite the fed
eral union in this country of people with
similar history, culture and social stand
ards, the War Between the States
bloody conflict was not halted.
He emphasized that any organization
charged with maintaining peace SHOULD
reflect the greatest common denomina-
tor of agreement that can be reached"
The United Nations charter, he added
met that test as best as possible" in a
world divided by differences in theology,
political and economic systems and cul-
tural and social differences"
"A series of institutions through
which the peoples of the world can, if
they will, work toward the development
of a world society in which they can
live in lasting peace and prosperity with
each other" is his definition of the United
Nations.
The tools by which that goal may be
reached we're listed and defined by Mr..
johnson thus:
The general assembly -" "A meeting
place for all the world"
The security council "Where fric-
ton and disputes can be fully aired be-
fore it is too late"
The court of international disputes
FLOR legal decisions on international
disputes"
The trusteeship council "Where
dependent peoples can be watched and
promoted"
The atomic energy commission -
"Where the powers of modern science
can be DETECTED from warlike to peace
full ends"
And the economic and social coun-
ell "Where the necessary conditions
for peaceful progress can be coopera-
lively created"
Do not be hasty in your judgement
of the value Of the United Nations as a
means for preserving peace, Mr.. John
son urges.
1--WE are just beginning to put the
machinery to the test. Nobody can say
it has failed before it has a chance to
operate" he argues.
AS for the positive side of the pic
ture, he contends "the best way to pre-
vent the wrong kind of war - the war
between peoples it to organize and
wage the right kind of war - war by

Bell Denies Redskin Claim
To KosIowski, Star Back

National Football League Com
missioner Bert Bell, a pretty good
back himself in his undergraduate
days at Penn, threw a block on the
Redskins today that cost the Tribe
one Of the Easts most widely pub
llcized backs. He ruled that Stan
KosloWski, Holy Cross ace, was not
eligible to be drafted when the Red
skins picked him at the last meet
ing. The reason is that Koslowski' s
college class is not scheduled TO
graduate for another year. although
he left school after playing in the
last Orange Bowl game.
The Redskins drafted the PLAYER
when the accelerated scholastic
program confused the issue on
graduation dates. rather than let
him 60 to rival club without a
bid
