IBeIvoir's Little Man Tops
Bio Ones in Muscle Test

Hash in the pan. Last month he
scored q perfect 500 points in
the Army's semi-annual physical
fitness tests II for the fourth
consecutive time.
ALI the Massachusetts, born
career soldier had to do was per-
form 90 pun-ups. rs squat jumps.
"a pushups. 70 situps, and then
run 800 yards in ~ seconds.
Just for good measure Sergt.
Burns added three more push
ups.
One Of Seven Children
He was the only Army enlisted
man at Belvoir to make q per-
feet score.
The Burns story goes back to
the little town Of Wilmington,
Mass.
AS one Of seven children. "Lit-
tie John" had to learn to take
care Of himself-especially since
an older brother is 8 feet I inches
and weighs 220 pounds.
He finished tenth grade. then
went to work swinging an ak. He
enlisted in the Army at 10 when
Inc weighed l16 pounds.
"But I was in good shape" he
adds.
A year later both his knees
were seriously injured in a para
chute accident at Fort Benning
Doctors advised him never to take
physical training again.
Returns TO Korea
Their advice didn't take.
In 1851 he shipped over to
Korea where he served in the
18th Airborne. He was rotated
back to the States after 10
months where he re-enlisted for
another hitch In Korea so
could be with my kid brother
Ray in a field artillery outfit"
In 1853 he was assigned TO
Belvoir and began his career OF
record breaking.
Sergt. Burns has a simple
formula for his physical success
story:
Eat a lot, but no sweets. Get
8 to 10 hours sleep a night and
exercise"
And when does the soft-spoken
sergeant find time to run through
his exercises?

Rural Health Is
Meetings Subject

Rural health leaders in eight
western Ohio counties announce
plans to hold district conference
on "Healthful Country Living" in
Greenville, October 25, 1855. Mrs.
T. E. Jutte, Rt. 6, Celina, is confer
ence chairman. John Lamb, chair
man of the newly organized Darke
County Health Council, is in
charge of local arrangements.
Counties from which participants
are expected in the conference in
clude Darke--the host county,
Mercer, Paulding, Van Vert, AL
len, Auglaize, and Shelby.
Albert Orcutt, Extension Rural
Sociologist at Ohio State Univers-
ity, explains that numerous prob
lens in the field of rural health are
precipitated by population increas-
es and mushrooming suburban real
estate developments outside cities
and towns. This trend brings a
need for study of sewage disposal
facilities, pure water supplies,
stream pollution, and disposal OF
refuse and garbage.

An Editorial
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

short time ago check made of pork prices at
wholesale in the Chicago and other representative markets II
found that prices had dropped sharply brief period of
time. Pork ons of desirable weights for example, down
about per cent from the prices prevailing weeks before
and IA per cent under The levels Of year before.
The primary for this marked price change that
pork was in extraordinarily plentiful supply.
Here is good little illustration of how the supply and de-
mand system works When there abundance of any product
available free market the price tends go down. When
there degree of scarcity the price tends That
why the price of pork any other commodity will vary
marked degree period of time The relationship of
ply demand does than other factor TO determine
the price.
All meats have been in good supply for long time. and
prices generally we'll down from comparable periods
expected that total production this set

meat counters loaded with good food reasonable prices
Everyone OF should pause occasionally offer thanks
for such abundance and for The freedom that makes possible

I'd say it has had a great influence
in the county as a whole, putting
stop to probably so per cent of
the chicken ganies and such"
Chicken" as described by OF
we'll is "a form of possible sui
eide where a couple of young fell
lows drive head-on at each other
with their motors wide open. The
first one who turns aside to avoid
a crash is called chicken
The mayor said there have been
some breakers of the curfew. Most
he added, were caught right after
it went into effect.
The sentence he has meted out
so far, Otwell says, have been for
the curfew- breakers to go to Sun
day school and church for four
consecutive Sundays. ..
Otwell said he didn't believe the
curfew has "hurt anybody, young
or old" He said anyone with a
definite destination is not stopped
by the police. S"Our curfew is aim
ed at calling a halt to cuttingvup
around town. And we want to stop
kids from lettering in the streets
until all hours of the night. y
The mayor added, Our curfew
is getting good results. And as
long as it keeps on doing that,
we're keeping our curfew."
Young people, asked for an
opinion on the ban apparently
didn't mind it bit. There were a
few objections raised, but the ma
jority agreed with one high school
boy who said, IT'S okay with me.
I usually get my dates home by
II o'clock anyway. And if the cur
few catches me, the police don't
stop me as long as l go on home
and don't hang around town"
A pretty high school age airl
said the curfew had brought about
one change in the younger sets
dating habits. Since were not
supposed to be downtown after II
o'clock" she said, we've just had
to start going on dates earlier in
the evening"
Mayor Otwell says he has re-
ceived more than 100 letters from
some 30 states about the curfew.
Most have been complimentary, he
says, and some were from officials
in other towns wanting to know
how the plan was working out.

Sam picked up his baby to take
her into the house. She was limp
and clammy cold, and didn't a
rouse when hea picked her up.
Sam was scared. He got back
into his car and drove as fast as
he could to the hospital The doc
tors put her in an oxygen tent and
gave her medicine, but it was too
late. She did not rally. She just
stopped breathing.
A closed-up car parked on a hot
day in the sun is like an oven.
The temperature was probably up
to $50 degrees in Sans car. Mar
gle had walked up soon after her
father left her because she was
hot and uncomfortable. She cried
and thrashed around and thus got
herself hotter than ever. Finally
she stopped from sheer exhaustion
and collapsed with heat prostra-
ton.
Small babies are very suscep-
tible to the dangers of excessive
heat. A baby loses lot of water
from his skin through prespira-
ton when the temperature is high.
She becomes damp and uncomfor-
table so she cries. What she wants
is a drink Of water. If no one
comes she cries louder and filings
her arms and legs about.
The crying really makes mat
ters worse because more water is
lost through mouth and lungs and
the need for that drink gets great
er and greater. If still no one
comes the baby soon loses SC
much water and becomes so ex-
hausted that she collapses.

He left her in the car and went

closed the car windows and locked
the car SO that no one would mol

The only place to park was the
large unshaded parking lot near

Sam was gone somewhat longer
than he expected. It too k him
three hours but he got the job.
He went back to his car iubilant.
