KEEPING HEALTH
Watching Emotions in Teen.Aqers
BY Dr.. James w. Borton

A boy who uses slight illness or
physical defect as his reason for
not engaging in group games in
which he must give and take is
likely to become a nervous or neu-
rotic adult.
When boys and girls do not play
or mix regularly with those of their
age, then the time which should be
spent in play is spent in some 9TH
er way.
Unfortunately, many of these
boys and girls at or approach
ing the puberty age spend much
Of their spare time in eating
rich, starchy foods. Instead of
this extra food being used or
burned in play, it is stored in
the body as fat.
A fat child, and particularly a
very fat girl. is likely to draw
within himself or herself, avoid
playmates, and store up a neurosis.
Instead of the excess fat being
worried off them, as normal fat
is worried off those of normal
weight or underweight. the fat de-
posits increase as the excess food
is eaten and there is no work or
play to remove it.

Answer: Yes. This probably is
the main reason why many at
tractive women do not marry, even
though they'll say it is because
they never met the right man."
A girl who grew up with the i'm
preston that her brothers had the
best of her because they were boys,
and her mother was exploited by
male members of the family be-
cause she was woman is apt to
become so jealous Of the whole
male sex that the idea of "playing
second fiddle" to husband is in
tolerable to her. And although she
may be lonely such girl is hap
pier single.

HEALTH NOTES

The liver does more different
kinds of work than any other organ
in the body. Anything that inter-
feres with its work upsets all the
body processes.
Best method for inducing sleep is
to take few minutes exercise or
a warm bath Immediately before
retiring. This generally will bring
sleep in most cases.

Reclamation Program

Secretary of the Interior ]. A.
Krug has set up a new long range
program of reclamation for the
western states which, in the hands
of friendly congress, seems like
ly of enactment.
This program. extending through
1854, contemplates expenditure of
almost four billion dollars which
would reclaim and irrlgate thou
sands more acres, bring $1,000
new settlers into these western
states and add approximately three
billion dollars to crop values grown
over the period. 1t would generate
additional hydroelectric power to
bring in annual revenue of S64 ,OOO,.
600
Among the first things the new
congress may do is to kill that por-
ton of the interior department ap-
preparation laws which fired Recla-
nation Commissioner Michael W.
Strauss.
Another law likely to be repealed
at once is the Reed Bulwinkle act,
passed over the Presidents veto,
which takes railroads from under
the antitrust laws Arne c. Wiprud,
former assistant attorney general
for antitrust prosecutions, termed
the law "the means Of legalizing
the most gigantic price-fixing cartel
the world has ever known"
With the biggest increase IN South
Dakota, 472 per cent, farm cash in
come as a whole has increased 1852
per cent since 1910.

Farm Price Supports
IN WASHINGTON


S"FrSssS
THE WEEK of July 16 last,
L your Home Town Reporter
branded farm legislation, and
specifically the long-range farm
bill passed by the S0th congress,
a "delusion and a snare" We
further predicted - what will
happen. though, is that new
bill will be written before that
time January l, 195O)."
The week of September 16 last,
your Home Town Reporter predict
ed that the Democratic party would
regain control of the United States
senate with eastern industry and
big business locked in a battle for
this control with the agricultural
South and the mineral-reclamation
minded West" In that column we
even published list of Democratic
senators who would be named chair
men of the senate committees.
Again in the week of September
80 your Home Town Reporter pre-
dicted that the action of the 8Oth
congress in taking away from the
Commodity Credit Corporation pow
er to lease or buy storage facilities
for the farmers grain would blow
up in someone's face and become a
political issue"
The point Of these II told you
SOS" is that ID they all came
true and (2) at this moment
battle Of major proportions is
shaping up in the next congress
to discard the flexible price sup
port program of the Aiken-Hope
long-range farm bill in favor of
rigid 80 per cent ratio under
revised parity figure.
Even Secretary of Agriculture
Charles F. Brannon who has sup
ported the flexible of sliding scale
price support program now is ques-
tioning the ACCESSIBILITY of lower
ing supports unless industrial prices
also come down.
There is no question but that the
cost of farm price supports may be-
come an issue in the new congress,
with representatives from large
city constituents questioning the
policy as bolster to high food
prices. At the end of October the
government had put $50 million
dollars in crop loans outstanding
with the prospect of making loans
involving millions more before the
end of this crop year. While much
or all of this money may eventu-
ally be recovered, the opponents of
price supports regard it as a gov
eminent expenditure
Despite that fact, this reporter
believes there is an increasing senti-
ment for the rigid price support
among the farmers and even among
the large farm organizations, all of
which supported the flexible provi-
sions of the Aiken bill, and that
eventually new rigid price support
program will be adopted.

Want to spend a year in the

of men are volunteering

W7HAr would you do if your husband came
w home tonight and announced he had
signed up for year of lonely duty in an
Arctic weather station near the North Pole?
Some day you may face such a situation.
The U. S. Weather Bureau has already estab

America to gather meteorological data for
long grange forecasting and research. Several
new ones will be set up this spring, and even

For the time being, women are not allowed.
However, Charles J. Hubbard, veteran scien-
tist and explorer. who heads the project. is
married man himself. and is all in favor of
turning over stations to family units as soon
as adequate facilities can be provided.
One of the first wives confronted with the
prospect of losing her husband to the lure of
the North was Mrs. John Ciganek, an attrac-
tive brunette, of Arlington, Va.
Why Give Everything Up?
NATURALLY. she couldn't understand why he

Why in the world give up all the pleasures
and comforts of home to hibernate in the
Arctic with seven or eight strangers for an
entire year? No week ends, HOLIDAYS or
vacations; mail once month; movies, rare
treat; the nearest doctor hundreds of miles
away. Continuous night lasts for four
months, and sometimes the temperature
drops to 40 below.

So do we all. And yet few of us 20 to the

for the answer, went to see Hubbard at the

Hubbard, handsome, former All-American
football player now in his mid -forties. But
over half have never been North and have
no conception of what they're getting in for.
But see for yourself. Look through these
applications"
One of the first questions I saw was, why
do you want to 60 to the Arctic?" Here are
few representative replies:
l. An ex-Marine, still suffering from malaria
contracted on Guadalcanal: 1--WE knocked
around for better or worse most of my life, but
always with some definite purpose in mind:
to better myself and the human race. This
job seems to offer both opportunities
2. Delivery truck driver: II want to feel
my work is important, that I'm doing some
thing that's worth all my effort and time"
