SAYS BoDY AND SOUL ARE RELATED

A healthy body makes for a healthy mind and
healthy SOUL declares the Rev DR. Robert j. McCracken
in recent sermon calling attention the delicate and
subtle inerreation and nteraction between the body
and soul.
For many years the philosophy of the world centered
round the idea that the individual was composed Of three
~1arts; body mind and soul More recently there has
been general acceptance of the close unity between
mind and body and the clergyman suggests the same
e ntimate relationship exists with the soul
Obviously the individual cannot be cut into three
segments Life is entity, including physical mental
sand spiritual activity Presumably there an iner-rea-
nonshlp between the three factors, or more probably
unity that has not been generally recognized
There was day when the welfare of the spirit was
presumed to rank far above that the mind and the
cody Gradually, however there has come recognition
Of the essential identity the individual personality and
the mpossibity of dividing human existence into three
separate compartments Mind body and spirit make up

from two-day rent clinic held in
Newark, New Jersey, where Rent
Advisory Board members, Rent
Sterilization officials, and mill

provisions Of the new and strength

Mr.. Barker said that Tighe f.
Woods, director of Rent Stabili-

visory boards, which serve volun-
tarily throughout the United
States, acting somewhat as juries
in hearing both landlords and ten
ants on controversial issues.
He said the training session al
so clarified the designation Of
critical defense areas, which are
now being certified in various sec
tons of the country. Rent Con-
troll over all types of housing in
such areas becomes automatic af-

An area becomes a critical Defense
Housing area when local petitions
establish that (1) a defense plant
or military installation is being
established or expanded (2) that
a substantial influx of people is
needed; 90 shortage of housing
impedes or threatens to impede the
industrial or military expansion.
On establishment of these points
Joint action of the Secretary of De-
Tense and the Director of Defense

The rent conference also brought
out that monetary damages can be
