Can Apples Really Keen Doctor Awoy?
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. SteinerO h n:
Everybody has heard the ex-
preston: can apple q day
keeps the doctor away" 1
know it's silly to ask, but has
there ever been any scientific
proof Of its validity" Sin
eerely Mr.. /. o.
As for scientific proof. I know
Of none. However, this may in
terest you. DR.. z. H. Lucas,
professor Of horticulture at
Michigan State College is
checking on it. He is expert
menting with 1000 students.
OF these, 500 munich on an
apple every day; the other 500
are Sworn abstainers." This
has been going on for about
two years. At the end of three
years, DR.. Lucas may have some
interesting data on the effect
Of apples on general health.
In the meantime, I have what
! believe to be q better way to
keep the doctor away: Go and
see him! On the surface, this
is q paradox. What I mean
Is this: If you see him
for routine periodic checkups;
II you see him early for illness
instead of procrastinating; then
you will actually be keeping
him away; in that you will be
seeing him much less than you
might II you tried keeping him
away" until you get real sick.
I recall a patient who came
regularly for his physical exam
nations for 20 years. One day
! complimented him on his
good sense in checking on his
motor" He said: II don't de-
serve any accolades. My only
reason for coming to see you so
regularly is that I want to see
less Of you-professionally that
is"

Social Studies
We divided into committees to
learn about the continent of Ant
arctica and the Arctic Region.
Some of our projects are clothing,
weather and climate, boats, hous-
es, animals, tools. work and play,
and explorers. Each committee
searched for information on its
topic and prepared a written re-
port and an oral report. We en-
jOyed making our reports.
Since we have finished the unit

soon begin our study of "The Dry

us all abodt tour she and Mr.
Burton made to Monticello, the
home of Thomas Jefferson, our
third President Sne told us that
he mad -tarte6 20 plan for his home
when he was ten years old. In
Monticello are evidences of his
many ideas Tor better living, such
as the buildings of the barn and
stables underground. Another great
idea was the clock that has two
faces, one of which can be seen
from the inside, and one from the
outside, There is a revolving door
opening into the dining room on
which there are shelves for food
These are only few OF the many
things she told us.
In Social Studies each one in our
class has chosen a state for special
study; we have made scrapbooks
of the materials we. have received
and the stories we have written.
Every Friday we have a club
program. This week the subject is
hobbies.
Our special science study is on
the Icy. A section of our bulletin
board is devoted to this.
When we learned that one dollar
sent to CARE would provide TWEEN

Dear Friends,
February has been such a happy
month for us. Valentines Day is
always happy time for children
but this one was especially happy
for us. Jackie Dickerson's Mommie
is a patient in the Emily p. Bis
sell Hospital. Jackie did SO want
TO have her come to our party. We
know how to write letters because
we have written to sick friends. and
we even wrote to the State FOres-
try Department for our Smokey
bear books. We decided to write
20 DR.. K. W. Hainlen, Director of
Medical Services at the hospital,
10 ask him to please let Jackie's
Mommie come to our party. He
sent us a very nice letter and said
she could come on February 14th.
We were all happy to see her ar
rive and we have certainly learned
hat il is better to give than to re-
;eiye. We presented a little play
entitled Grandfather's Gift. Ed
lsaacs was Grandfather and he was
very good. Gail Sharp was the Mo-
ther who had such a time trying
% get Baby Sally (Barbara Dut-
toni to say OUR DOG instead of
my dog. Mr.. Hickman said we were
good and he knows. We were so
pleased to have so many Mothers
and Mr.. Hickman attend our pro-
gram. We all enjoyed the delicious
refreshments Mrs. William Kutz
and her committee brought us.
First graders always like to eat.
We are very busy now with our
Community Helpers Unit. We have
made up stories about the post
man, policeman, and fireman. We
have illustrated them with crayon
drawings and clay figures. We have
made shoebox firehalls, postoffices,
police stations, and a shoebOx fire
engine. joey Consalo made the fire
engine and he used tinker toys for
the wheels. Mrs. Bennett has pro-
missed to teach us songs about
these community helpers. Mrs. Kun
kle is coming for art class today
so we will ask her for more ideas.
We hope she will help us with our
buildings. We can't write any more
now. Mr.. Kerr said he would come
and see our next play so we must
get busy. This play will be about
our little dog Spot and how the
children teach him to do tricks.
We can't tell you what happens
because Mr.. Kerr might see this.
