Keep Your Body
Beautiful
By RUTH NELSON SAWYER

NEW YORK. (GlobaD-A short
time ago, we gave our readers one
or two basic rules for keeping the
body beautiful. Since our mail
tells us it was worth reading, we
are repeating one exercise that will
help you keep in trim:
Stand up straight with the hands
raised over the head and slowly
lower the hands until they touch
the toes. Do this at least 10 times
each day.
While this is simple exercise,
it combines all the elements that
stimulate all-around well-being,
and you will be ever greatful that
you took few minutes of each day
to do it.

CHAMBER HEARS OF NV TRADE MEETING

Members of the Matanuska Val ley Chamber of Commerce voted during the regular meeting held June IT, to hold meetings on the first Wednesday of the month until further notice, emitting the third Monday meetings.
 Hugh A. Johnson, Experiment Station economist, spoke to the group on his recent attendance at the Pacific Northwest Trade Association meeting Few other Alaskans were present, Johnson reported. Governor B. Frank Heintzleman gave the keynote address to the group, who repre- sented trade areas throughout the northwest.
 Members of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce told the group they think they have a binding promise that ships will remain in operation for Alaska service regardless of west coast ship strikes. Johnson said many were not too impressed with this opti- mism and felt that shipping stri- kes will have adverse effects on Alaska economy. However, he pointed out, the people of Seattle are now more aware of the pos sibility of losing their Alaska markets through shipping strikes and will probably take more prompt action than in past years,
 Alaska commerce and business must settle down to practical thinking. Johnson said.
 Cooperation between Stateside and Northwest businesses will require practical thinking, he said. It cant be done with bene- violence and wishful thinking. Facts are necessary, he empha- sized. There is a great deal of
 transformation floating around. People are amazed to hear what
 ;n't so about Alaska, Johnson concluded and again stressed the need for Alaska business to set. tie down to practical thinking. ----

Polio Contributions Hit 34 Gents Per National Capita

Eighty million Americans con- ributed 51,500,000 to the fight against infantile paralysis in the 1853 March of Dimes, it was an nounced last week by Basil O, .Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly- sis.
 This total, based on reports from 3,069 volunteers campaign chair men, represents a new record, be- ing 24% higher than the previous record total raised in 1852, O'Con- nor said. Last year 271a cents per capita was contributed for the en- tire nation. The 1853 per capita is 34 cents. Both figures are based on the 1850 census.
 Despite larger public contri- buttons each year, the National Foundation has ended the past four years with outstanding bills, mainly to hospitals, of from three and one-half to seven million dol lars. Thus, for this period of time, each succeeding March of Dimes has been, in effect, mortgaged for such an amount before any new cases were reported in the new year.
 But each year, thanks to our tireless volunteers and to an awakened public, the bills have been paid, research has gone for ward unhampered by financial limitations, and every polio pa tient who needed help was given assistance for medical care"
