Boys and girls in their early

parents and teachers by their dis

the years of their childhood they
followed routine without too much

had trained them to be neat and
tidy, keep clean, dress properly
and obey directions politely.
Then adolescence sets in. The
children change shape outside and
in, shooting up tall, showing minds
of their own. The girls take on
new beauty and the boys new as
surance That is natural and right
and nobody complains about it
until it becomes apparent that
along with these changes has come
a bewildering rebellion against
much that was taught them, a
deaf ear to suggestion, a callous
determination to do what they
feel like doing at all costs, to be
themselves" That self can be
anything but lovely in its ignor-
ance and inexperience.
Instead of following the house

for airing are left in disarray,
clothes that used to be put in the

the floor. bureau drawers are in
disorder, the bathroom looks like
a catchall. Mother scolds, threat

One, of the choice phrases these
children often use, is, Hold your

thing startling. That applies to us.
If ever the children need under

stage for they are as bewildered

It is time to accept them as
persons of sense and feeling and
to deal with them accordingly.
Share worthwhile work with
them. Give them responsibility

WhyGrow
Old?
BY Josephine lowmon

I have always believed that
sooner or later the medical and
research worlds would discover
the fountain Of youth and have
always hoped it wo6ld come soon
enough for me. I have tried to
hold onto my connective tissue
so that there will be some left
into which they can shoot the
magic potion when they find 1t.
Right now it doesn't look as
though we are going to be shot
with anything, but I would not
be surprised If we are much closer
than we know to the time when
man or woman can be actually
young at 100 or more; young as
they now are at 80, and when
older persons can be rehabilitated.
I would like to report some facts
about nutrition which have been
discovered and substantiated by
research. experimentation and
practical application. Diet plays
dramatic role in the unfolding
modern miracle of prolonging
youth. There Is no doubt Of that!
The three foods which are most
important in the attempt to pro-
long youthfulness are calcium.
proteins and iron. Let me quote
from Public Affairs pamphlet No.
139. This was written by DR..
C. Ward Champion and is titled,
Live Long and Like It." This is
part of what DR.. Champion says
about calcium.
THE American diet is more
deficient in calcium than in any
other food element. This def
cheney accumulates and becomes
more and more serious as a man
grows Older. Calcium is the
friend of youth at any age. A
liberal supply. well beyond neces-
sity. makes every year of life
fuller and stronger. 1t aids better
development in the young and
extends the prime Of life in later
years. It is one of the secrets
of youth prolongation. Calcium
poverty is one common cause of
aging that can be corrected"
Quoting again from the same
Public Affairs pamphlet Iron
deficiency is almost always present
in the uncared-for man in the
higher age brackets. The typical
man Of go is iron poor. anemic
and body poor"
Some time back there was a
prevalent idea that middle-aged
men and women should cut down
on their protein intake. This
has been reversed. Another quote
from the same source: Another
common form Of malnutrition in
the aging is protein poverty. Our
bodies are made up largely of
proteins. Therefore, a deficiency
affects the whole man"
Can't you see the picture? Ger
tain deficiencies in nutrition are
a definite part Of aging. II these
are taken care Of at middle life,
l wonder how many chronic dis
eases might be missed and how
greatly aging might be delayed.
Diet is no longer a question Of
just eating "sensibly." 1t has
turned into the highly technical
art of remaining youthful for
years longer than the expected
age for fading and Of continuing
vital into old age.

preference should be noted. You'll
be wearing the watch!
Don't be seduced by the 80
called" watch bargain. An estab-
lished jeweler generally carries
only standard brands of fine
watches. These timepieces give
good value for the money you
spend.
Once bought, remember that
your watch will need a periodic
checkup.
Here are some things to keep in
mind so that your watch will be in
tip-top shape!

Atlantic Pact Navy to Be Formidable

The lessons of World War II
are being applied so that if the
Russians ever show up in the
Atlantic in strength the Allies
can offer the strongest possible
defense with one navy under one
commander.
The big obstacle to effective CO.
ordination of diverse navies is
standardized communication and
operations procedure, including
tactical doctrine and instructions
A certain amount of uniformity
has been developed among the
American, British and Canadian
navies, but more will be necessary
particularly if the French and
smaller navies of Europe are to be
integrated effectively.
These matters are the subject of
continuing study, as is the ques-
ton of exactly how Allied war;
ships will be bundled together-by
individual or group assignment OF
ships. World War I and II prac-
tice-which is likely to be fol-
lowed again-was to keep the ves-
sells of one nation operating to-
gether. rather than to disperse
them singly in the larger mass OF
a strange fleet. This facilitated
supply of food, fuel and ammuni-
ton as well as repair and main
ltenance.

ton for ships and conveys going
through that sea.
The arguments for Gen. Eisen-
hover to control this naval force
as a part of the continent-wide
protective system are strong. Rus
sian conquest of the Near East
and Southeastern Europe could
give the Soviet Union control of
the Dardanelles and a path of
invasion on the shores of the
Mediterranean. He might have to
meet that threat as well as the
danger of a Russian aggression
throug': Northern Europe.
On the other hand, the Medi-
terranean actually is only an eX-
tension of the Atlantic, and Rus
sian control of the great land
locked sea could pose new threat
for the Atlantic defense forces
through the Strait of Gibraltar
Likewise, the command of tllf
Baltic naval forces remains un-
decided. This is even more vital
for the first incursion of Russian
submarines into the Atlantic
could come through this other
land-locked sea. The same con-
siderations prevail here as in the
Mediterranean.
