In q To ruling, the high

The Supreme Court held that

WHY GROW oLD7
Exercise
To Be
Youthful
BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN

Register and Tribune syndicats
More and more evidence is
accommodating that activity,
physical and mental, is one
Of the greatest secrets of pro-
longing the life span and
especially the youthful por-
ton Of life.
Studies have shown that
those whose work keeps them
active physically live longer
than those whose work is
sedentary. Exercise INDUCED
in faithfully all through life,
as q habit, sometimes can
prevent or minimize much of
the deterioration which comes
with aging. It strengthens the
heart and seems 70 be con-
ducive to healthy arteries.
Kind Important
OF course the kind of exer-
else you take must be suited
to your age or your physical
capacity. In early years COM
petitive games and strenuous
exercises are splendid. Later
on these would be too vigor-
GUS. AS one becomes older,
strenuous exercise should be
replaced by milder exercise.
1t should be regular but you
always should stop short of
fatigue.
We always have known that
men seldom have a headache
while landing a 50-pound fish
and that many people have
lived much longer than their
doctors thought they pos
sibly could because they had
a job they wanted to finish.
However, only fairly recently
has the tremendous effect of
Keen mental interest and &C.
tivity been appreciated.
Can Deteriorate
Mental inactivity seems to
lead to deterioration of the
brain just as in the case of
other organs. Studies indicate
that those who have active,
interested minds outlive
those who have long ago
settled down into a mental
rut. We can exercise the
mind by reading, learning
something new, study, and
discussions with others.
Actually, as a person grows
older more and more time
should be spent in discover
ing new interests and new
ideas. There is more time for
doing so and the need for
mental exercise is greater If
the fog of an aging brain is
to be avoided or delayed.
Activity is the magic word.
Our muscles and our brains
were meant to be used!
