How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
'Spectotion' for Those Over 40
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

During a recent address at
a dinner of the National
Football Foundation, Presi-
dent Kennedy coined a word:
Speotation. He said in part:
"The sad fact is that it looks
more and more as if our
great national sport is not
playing at all-but watch
ing. We have become more
and more, not a nation of
athletes, but a nation of
spectators. The result of
this shift from participation
to-if I may coin a word
spectation is all too visible
in the physical condition of
our population"
THE PRESIDENT believes
that the remedy lies in one
direction = "in developing
programs. for broad partici-
patton in exercise by all our
young men and women"
Readers of this column who
are familiar with my antip-
athy for exercise in those of
us over 40, will be surprised
when I say that I agree with
President Kennedy. Ever
since I published a book
about 20 years ago called,
"You Don't Have to Exer-;
cise," many who disagree
with me have forgotten the
subtitle Of that book: "Rest
Begins at 40." I made a dis
tinction then, as I do now,
between the exercise require
ments of the young and the
middle-aged.
Physically, what we need is
a good foundation. I agree
we are not giving that to the
youth Of the land. Three out
of every seven rejected as un-
fit for military service be-
cause of physical reasons
proves this.
It is true that the child de-
velops his muscles In natural
play as he grows up. But that
is not enough. The grade
schools and high schools
should put more emphasis on
the need for physical devel-
opment. A token course in
caliSthenics once or twice a
week is not the answer.
And how about our col
leges? In many institutions
only the freshman is required
to participate in physical de-
velopment. AS an upper class
man he is on his own-which
means getting physically lazy
prematurely.
I repeat: I am all for youth
fitness and physical develop
ment in our youngsters.
But, as in the past, I draw
the line for middle-aged ath-
letes. l. don't go along with
the near-hysteria which has
been developing lately that
"if you don't exercise you'll
get coronary thrombosis" I'd
like definite scientific proof
that the normal-weight man

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

TACT: French operate
composer Jules Massenet was
a mild-mannered man who
was unfailingly courteous to
his colleagues. Even during
the hectic period Of rehearsal,
he never displayed tempera-
ment.
He was still a perfectionist,
however. If he did not raise
his voice, neither did he lower
his standards.
Once, during rehearsal, he
was dissatisfied with the or
chestra's rendition of a Ger
tain passage. He was still dis
satisfied after the fifth run
through. The conductor,
however, was losing patience.
Turning to MaSsenet, he said
testify:
II think we've rehearsed
that enough. It's perfect now,
isn't it?"
MasSenet, who detected i'm
provement but not perfection,
replied:
eyes, it is perfect. In fact,
I am so pleased, I wonder if
you would oblige me with an
encore?"
Flattered, the conductor
could not refuse this re-
quest, and the passage was
replayed until Massenet was
satisfied.

to get in. He isn't a violent

throw a brick through a win

can get arrested for. He tells
me he can't stand the noise
around here. We do have six
little ones. I can't tape their
mouths shut but, If I can
stand it, so can he.
He says he is fed up with
me, married life and the
children, and the only place
for him is jail where no
body can bother him.

know enough about the solu-

Besides, "spectation" which
President Kennedy seems to

purpose than many realize.
The halfback who catches a
punt on his own 10-yard line
and streakS down the field
for a touchdown is not the
only one who benefits physi-

and it is - that physical

that will start your mind
working instead of worrying:
Make a list of the things
you must complete for each
course. Jot the due date be-
side each one. Every time you
complete an item, draw a line
through it. Work on the list
every chance you get. If you
go to the library, you may be
able to pick up several books
you will need for various
items on your list and save
trips later. Set up a time
schedule and stick to it. Get
ahead of it. if you can.
You may know" what you
must do in each case, but
putting it down on paper will
clarity your thinking about
it. Let the list do the remem-
bering and relieve your mind
so that it can function prop
erly.
Make a short master" out
line for each course. Each
outline need be only one
or two pages long, but it
should cover all of the
important points in the
course. You should do this Ell
ther before returning to
school or Immediately after
ward. You may have to work
over each outline two or
three times to reduce it to
the desired length. The bet
ter you understand the
course, the shorter the out
line probably will become.
Now you are ready for the
rush of information that
comes in the last weeks. You
are ready to listen in class
during the teachers review
and think" the new infor-
nation into its proper place
in the master outline. With
pegs" to hang things on, it
won't seem like so much in
formation after all.
Such an outline also re-
lieves you of the worry that
you may omit parts Of the
course in your final review.
It's hard to know when you
have reviewed everything of
Importance without a check
list. The outline will help you
find your strengths and cor
rect your weaknesses. You
can remedy the weak spots
without retracing the whole
course. This saves time when
you need it most.
So resolve to make plans
and follow them with action.
I have worked with many
students who have followed
such plans successfully.
