Take Bill, for example. He
goes to high school by bus.
After he gets home from
school. he rushes through his
home work, so he can see his
favorite TV programs, before
dinner. One afternoon his
mother asked him to go to the
corner store, two blocks away,
for bread and milk for supper.

Does this sound familiar?
Do you agree with adults who
rant that you are losing your
physical fitness, through lack
of activity? Want to know
what the experts say?
American young people do
have some physical deficien-

MD, and Ruth p. Hirschland,
Of New York University Belle
vue Medical Center. They
checked muscular fitness of
American and European stu
dents. aged 6 to 49,
The same tests were given,
as minimum standards for
the strength required for good
health.
Results? Over Sc per cent
of the American students
failed one or more tests. In
comparison. only 8 per cent of
the European students failed
even one of these tests.
Why the big difference? AS
analysed in the report of this
research: European young peo-
pie do not have the benefits of
a highly mechanical society.
Many do not use cars, school
buses, or as many labor-sav-

you shun the devices that give
you more time for studies,

The answer is no, definitely.
But it's true that you do need
exercise for health. good looks;

IN ATOMIC BATTLE
THE SAFEST PLACE
is CLOSE TO ENEMY

LONDON. R.-A three

The reason, Gen. Down
