Journal Defends
3-Doy Workweek
OF Coal Miners

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). =
In vigorous defense of the 3-da!
workweek ordered by Presiden
John L. Lewis Of the United Min,
Workers of America, the United
Mine Workers Journal declared
the "coal miners are ready anc
willing to mine all the coal the op.
orators can SELL"
"The operators can't find mar
kets to furnish the full employment
miners DESIRE" the Journal said.
The Journal criticized the Ma
tional Coal Association for "at-
tempting to alarm the nation
about the 'perils' of a 3-day week
in coal"
In its lead editorial, the paper
asserted:
"The United Mine Workers
policy of temporary 3-day work
week was conceived and made eff
fective for the purpose of protect
ing miners, stockholders and min
ing communities against a return
of cut-throat competition among
coal companies which would impov-
erish all these elements.
"The 3-day week was not insti-
tuted as permanent proposition.
Nobody knows the economic con-
sequences of part-time employment
better than coal miners, because
they have suffered it through the
years as the table of annual work
ing time reveals.

anemia which only twenty years
ago was invariably fatal, has
been brought under control. BY
the use of liver therapy and
other more recently discovered
drugs, the person with perni-
cious anemia can live out his
normal expectancy very comfor-
tably and without the complicat-
ing nerve damage that used to be
so common. in this fatal illness.
Heart disease Is, and probably
will continue to be, the number
one cause of death, but already
great strides have been made in
its control. Rheumatic fever,
which though it is a disease of
childhood, produces heart dam
ages that show themselves in
later years, can be controlled
quite well and the damage it
produces minimized, If person
will only follow his doctors or
ders. With the control of syphil-
is, the heart disease 1t produces
is diminishing. Coronary heart
disease, which results from q
thlckening and hardening of the
blood vessels that supply the
heart itself, still takes the lives
of many people, but with mod
ern prevention, many who would
have died of coronary heart
attack, have their attack post
poned for years. Through mod
Iern treatment q very large pro-
portion of those who do have an
attack are able to recover and
lead a reasonable active life.
Even some VINO are unfortunate
enough to have a stroke of paral-
ysis, are able to get back partial
use of their paralyzed arms or
legs, and with some restriction
become useful citizens again.
In years gone by, enlarge
ment of the prostate was a thing
feared by every man. When sur
gerry became necessary the crude
methods then in vogue cost the
life of at least 40% of those op-
Grated on and many who lived
were crippled for life. Not long
ago a new operative technique
was developed known as ira hs-
urethral-resection. This Is no.
thing short of miraculous. Men
in their seventies, eighties and
nineties can undergo this new
treatment with full assurance

whereas our total population is
expected to increase only about
25%.
People dealing with life in
surance report that the average
person buying an insurance pol
icy der-estirnate the length of
time he is likely to live. You
talk with someone about 35 and
the probabilities are he expects
to live another fifteen or tWen-
ty years. Actually, the average
white male in the United States
at 35 has more than 35 more
years to live, and the average
white female of 35 can expect
nearly forty years of future life.
You see, we must raise our sights
considerably when we plan for
our future. Even when we have
acquired the ripe old age of 65,
at which most people are think
ing of retiring TO a life of mac
tivity, we can expect nearly
fourteen more years on the av-
erage. Even those of us who are
fortunate enough to reach 81,
still have more than 8 years to
look forward to. So you see, we
must plan our lives in anticipa-
ton of a considerable number
of years, and do everything in
our power TO make those COM
Portable, happy years in which
we can do the things that we
would like TO do, or that we
haven't had time to do during
the more active, productive
years of our life.
You are bound to say that
even though all this may be true,
the last 30 years of ones life
are more likely to be incon-
venienced by serious illness and
restricted activity than the first
80 years. This is true, and there
II is good evidence TO show that
chronic illness is more common
during this time, but with the
advances that medical science
has made in the past twenty five
years, doctors are able to pre-
vent, or TO control, or even to
cure so many of these diseases
of later life, that the average
person can live quite comfort
able il he is willing to take a
few precautions
Rules To Live BY
Five rules should be carefully
followed to insure the maximum
return during your thirty best
years. In the first place, keep
in the right frame of mind. Doc
tors have found that mental at
titude is of utmost importance in
importance in promoting good
health. Don't worry. Act prompt
ly to remedy the problems and
difficulties you are able to rem
edy the problems and difficult
ties you are able to remedy. For
get just as promptly those which
are beyond your control. Teach
yourself to adopt an attitude of
optimistic reasonableness as an
important step in retaining your
health. Secondly, eat nourishfng
food. An ample nutritious diet is
as important to adults as to

that 1t will bring them quick re-
lief. The hazard to life from this
operation is insignificant. The re-
covery period has been reduced
from months to days. This is one
more place where medical sci
ence has enabled our senior cit
izens to live happy and comfor-
tably for years to come.
Cancer is the second most
common cause of death. 1t can.
TO a large extent, be successfully
treated If it is found early. To
be sure not all cancers can be
and occasionally one will not re-
spend to treatment. But, by and
large, most cancers occur in
places that can be seen, or felt
by the physicians examining
finger, or observed by the use
of x-rays. Periodic examination
finds many early cancers that
can be removed before they are
a danger to life. Modern surgi-
cal techniques, coupled with the
use of blood and its components
in controlling shock, permit old
er people to have very radical
surgery with comparative safety.
Cancer, then, is nowhere near
the hazard 1t was twenty years
ago.
One of the most unfortunate
circumstances tn a t interferes
with enjoyment of your thirty
best years, is so-called mental
disease, emotional disturbances,
and changed patterns of thinking
associated with growing old.
During and shortly after the
menopause. in both women and
men. acute melancholia is a pos
sibility. The depressing state re-
spends we'll to modern methods
of treatment. No longer do peo-
pie have to spend their last years
in a terrible depression that Of
ten leads to suicide. A few
months of care and they can be
back again living with their fam
lilies, enjoying life and even be-
ing productive. The same is true

that by 1860 almost l/3 of our
population will be over As years
of age, and by the end Of the
century 2/5 will be in that age
category. The data for the group
over SIS years of age is more
startling. In 1900 this group in
cluded only AZ of the popula-
ton. BY 1910 IL was nearly To.
We expect more than 90 to be

that there were only 100000

1860. BY the year 1000 more
than 21,000,000 of our popula-
ton will be over SIS years of age.

older people, particularly those
who live alone, have diet oi

it is easy to prepare. Don't fall

don't attempt to show how young

with teen ayers. AS the years
move along, exercise regularly
but exercise in smaller doses
Last, but not least, cooperate
with your physician. Aside from
accidents and senility, most old
er people die from blood disor-
ders, cancer, diseases of the
heart and arteries, or infections
all of which are preventable
with proper diagnosis. Any pain,
prolonged fatigue, or loss OF
weight, should be reported to a
physician promptly so that early
diagnosis and effective treatment
can be made. Periodic physical
examination TO aid in the early
detection of the diseases that
may end in chronic invalidisn,
or even death, Is essential in
making these years your thirty
best years.
Recent Advances In
Disease Control
Diabetes is primarily disease
of the older ages. It can be found
in the course of a routine physi-
cal examination. Since the dis
covery of insulin, less than thir-
ty years ago, millions of other
wise hopelessly doomed diabe-
tics have lived comfortable use-
full lives. In fact, there is evi-
dence that diabetes that follow
their doctors advice may actu-
ally live longer than If they had
not acquired diabetes, and life
insurance is sold to diabetes
taking insulin. For most people,
then, diabetes can be checked
off as one of the hazards of his
tory. Under your doctors guild
ance there Is no reason why II
should interfere with the en-
Ijoyment of advancing years.
Anemia is another thing that
used to strike terror in the hearts
of older people, Nowadays, with
