WHY GROW OLD?
Interest
Children
In Sports
By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN

RegisteF and Tribune Syno1eAte
I recently received the fol-
lowing letter from a reader.
Dear Mrs. Lowman:
"I share the sentiments OF
the reader you quoted not
long ago, the one who wrote
about the popularity Of sports
clothes and watching sports,
but not taking an active part
in them. The letter was
amusingly written but GER
tainly spoke the truth.
"As the mother Of young
children I am constantly
incensed by the promotion
Of sedentary habits among
young people, especially
among young girls. Many
parents and most school
authorities seem completely
disinterested. The parents
transport the children to
school even when they live
only a few blocks away.
Many children are not
encouraged to take advan-
tage of the summer sports
programs many communities
offer, such as free tennis
lessons, wonderful swimming
programs and various other
worthwhile activities.
ACTIVE physical sports
would develop health and
take children out of them
selves. 1t would also combat
the self consciousness so
prevalent during the pre-ado-
lescent years. 1t would give
young people a chance to de-
velop new friends and lay
the foundation for a happy,
mentally stable adulthood.
But the children grow
obese and dull. They are not
learning about the exhilara-
ton that comes from a good
swim, q game Of golf or a
brisk walk. They will not have
these inner resources to fall
back on when the pressure OF
adulthood weighs on them"
I am printing this letter
because I feel so strongly
that exercise during child
hood and youth builds stam-
ina which will be badly need
ed to meet the stresses and
responsibilities of more ma
ture years.
I do not think I ever would
have been able to meet the
obligations Of a home and a
family and a career without
the backlog Of health which
swimming and basketball,
hiking and tennis built as a
girl. Swim ming I have
brought along with me. Now
walking and golf and dancing
must take the place Of bas-
ketball.
In my estimation you will
be doing your children a tre-
mendouS favor If you pro-
mote exercise not only be-
cause Of health but because
of fun. Young folks miss *
much If they do not indulge
in sports!

1t is unWise to use a chem

Not only is it unnecessary,
since the securing action of

salary anymore as the ten
ant of the White House.
At that same sale in Chi

heifers brought $3.50 to ST.
900.
AS the afternoon wore on,
prices dipped along with the
quality - and along with our
bright hopes. Finally the
heifers were down to $3.50 to
SITS. This wasn't much. but
Miriam said she'd settle for
that since our heifers were a
bit on the light side. And
then the gate swung open and
our first heifer scampered
into the sawdust ring. We
held our breaths.
At first there were no bids
at all. The auctioneer plead
ed for an opening offer, any
kind Of bid, while I tried to
hide beneath my coat collar.
Then some rash cattle breed
er bid $3.50, and got her. Next
came our other three heifers,
in a group. They went for a
meaSly $100 each, setting a

VOW to do something drastic
about the next BCIA sale,
so I have finally hit on my
strategic plan Of Angus Ac-
ton" for 1862.
It's quite simple. I got the
idea from the practice of the
auctioneer in popping up the
bidding whenever it flags. He
does this by stopping the pro-
ceedings and intoning a dra-
matte monologue something
like this:
Nov folks, I don't know
what's going on here today.
Why don't you realize that
this gorgeous, growthy, full
bodied heifer is a daughter
of the great international

grand champion. Ankonian
the King of Blackcap, and
that all Of her brothers won
prizes at the show in Chi
cao?"
After some more patter
along this line, the bidders
usually step up their prices.
1t hardly ever fails to work.
Since it's already the custom
to make this kind of pitch
to the impressionable Gus
toners, I am going to stand
up at the next sale, when our
calves are in the ring, place
my hand across my chest and
give the following grafton:
Nov good people, this is
the consignor from Hidden
Valley Farm talking to you,
and those are our heifers you
are looking at. I know they
aren't so big or pretty as
some of the others, but folks,
we need the money. You
