The French tabulation which

These two are food and fash

Moreover, there are foods or
French menus which raise Q
logical question or two that the

Of art, dead or alive.
These two aside, the Other
five might make a beginning

some of these are dubious. How

has dropped out of our lives. We
do not have to exert our bodies
very much to perform the jobs that
keep us going. We do these chores
mechanically.
! But how about play and recrea-
ton? Here too there is more and
more tendency to sit by and let
the gadget do the amusing Radio
and TV are taking the place of the
vacant lot the backyard and the
playground. Children ride the bus
home from school get snack and
watch TV until dinner time. In
terest in vigorous play is being re-
placed by common concern over the
programs all children see. A child
hates to miss out on today's pro-
gram because next day he won't
be up with the crowd.
Thus our children are falling into
our mechanical way of life with
enthusiasm Why walk when you
can ride why break your back when
you can push a gadget why play
baseball when you can watch a
really good game?
Sitting Generation
There is plenty of reason why
this generation of American chill
dren should have weak and fiabby
muscles. They spend their lives sit
ting.
What is the answer? We are GER
tainly not going to remove the cleo
trio range and replace it with a
woodburning stove. We are not
going to return to the rigorous un-
pleasant chores from which we
hope we have emancipated our
selves.
But we must see that these
bodies of ours get enough work out
to keep in good running order.
Through fun and pleasure we can
keep these muscles of ours creased
up.
From babyhood up encourage
your children to engage in vigorous
play, exercise and sports. See that
they develop bodies they enjoy u.s.
ing, now, and that will serve them
well all their lives.

cdVeman 10 i've IN our gadget-
filed modern world. However, there
is a minimum of muscular strength
below which we must not let oul
children fall if they are to enjoy
and use their bodies throughout
life. We have made big strides in
the elimination of disease but we
seem to have lost sight of the fact
that freedom from disease is not all
there is to health.
The state of New York is suffi-
ciently concerned over this ap-
parent trend toward physical un-
fitness in our youth to plan a
wholesale testing of all school chill
dren in the state next fall. If this
investigation bears out the finding
of smaller scale tests it will show
that about half of American school
children fail to meet the minimum
standards of muscular strength.
American children are in marked
contrast to European youngsters,
less than 10 per cent of whom fail
these same tests.
Soft Life
uC IcdSOu lOI IuIS pOOT SI1OW-
ing is not hard to find. Life is too
soft in our high-living standard
land. We have eliminated much of
the back breaking work of a gen
Grafton or more ago, work in which
the children automatically had to
take their share.
There are no longer chores a.
round the house for our children to
do. We do not have to chop wood lug
out ashes. Sweeping and scrubbing
are rapidly giving way to mechani-
cal devices. Even the lawn is cut
with power mower.
Then there is the question of
transportation. Mighty few people
walk to work or school. Cars and
school buses provide almost door
to door transportation. The good
old-fashioned exercise of walking
lust because you wanted to get
somewhere, is a thing of the past.
How many mothers complain that
they practically. run jitney SER
vice?
Thus the exercise needed just
to live in a less mechanical society

nounced that we had inherited a
substantial debt from previous ad-
ministrations and promised that
we would make every effort to get
the county's finances Strengthened
out.
I'VE have now done this in spite
of heavy demands on the county
treasury by increased assessments
from the state 1egislature-v
Mr.. Lingo Explained that one
reason the county was in debt
was because there had been no
reappraieal of real estate for 30
years. This was undertaken three
years ago with the result that the
county has been able to break even
without raising the tax rate.
