SPEND YOUR ENERGY
TO BEST ADVANTAGE
(By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN)
Most people are candidates for
early aging and the diseases of
* r
middle age, early death, or chronic
fatigue or a grim personality not
because of the problems they have
or the work they do but because
of the emotional strains and stress
es which acompany them.
How can you avoid these? Well,
of course, you cannot entirely, but
there is an art which can be learn
ed with practice, one which is most
fundamental. It is the art of de
veloping “cutoffs.” This is not a
question of not caring, of taking
one’s responsibilities lightly. It is
the art of guiding your own life,
of deciding what is important to
you and what is not.
You can do the same amount of
work and even more and better
work and have more fun doing it
if you practice this art. Here are
a few suggestions.
Be Stubborn
1. You have only so much en
ergy. No one person cpn do every
thing. Decide what is important
to you and and to those you love,
decide the way in which you will
spend your energy most happily.
Be absolutely stubborn when it
comes to spending it otherwise.
The world will not profit by your
ill health, grim attitude or nervous
breakdown. We only come into
contact with a small segment of
the world, and the best service we
cap give the world as a whole is to
serve that segment to the best of
our ability.
2. While being needed is import
ant to the happiness of every hu
man soul, do not take yourself too
seriously. Remember the sun would
rise, and the moon would shine,
and life would go along much the
same even without you. You can
best serve life when you have your
self in focus and are relaxed and
rich in spirit.
3. Outside of real loss and trag
edy, a sense of humor will make
most of the things and situations
we fret about seem unimportant
and even funny.
Not Sensitive
4. If you have your values
straightened out, you simply can
not be sensitive about what Mrs.
So and So said about you, or waste
energy about the dirty trick your

free world total and appears likely
to do So again in the 1953-54 season.
Early private estimates of an ex.
panded acreage, however, have been
scaled down due to the generally un
favorable weather in many parts of
the belt, but, assuming no serious
deterioration in yield per acre, it ap
pears that the crop may not differ
much from last season’s 15 million
bales.”
Outside the United States, the
committee said, production of cotton
is expected to decline. Acreage is be
ing reduced, it pointed out, because
of the need for increased food pro
duction in some countries, -the sub
stantial stocks of cotton in the world,
and because of generally lower
prices.

These ceremonies were held last

Of all the fabulous stories connect
ed with the saga of the Ford Motor
company perhaps the most fanciful
is that of Miss Rosetta Couzens. Her
brother, James Couzens, then a coal
company employe and later United
States senator from Michigan, invest
ed $100 for her. She later received
$95,000 in dividends and in 1919,
sold her holdings for $260,000.
Her brother received proportionate
dividends on his own $2,400 invest
ment and sold out to Ford in 1919
for more than $29,300,000.
Four or five of the other initial
stockholders sold out early in the
life of the company and missed
chances to become multi-mdllionaires.
But besides Couzens there were John

company, and Horace Rackham and

5. Physical relaxation leads to
nervous and emotional relaxation.
When you find yourself hurrying
or worrying or working long
hours, simply “go limp” physically.
It is best to take some mild exer
cise, but even without the oppor
tunity for this, it is almost impos
sible to be tense nervously when
you relax every muscle in your
body.
You can do this at a desk, in a
classroom, while hurrying to an
appointment, on a bus or train or
business conference, when the chil
dren have measles, before the new
in-laws arrive, at any time when
you decide to do so. Take a deep
brea&i, relax your tongue if it is
pressing against your front teeth
or the top of your mouth (and it
probably is). Deliberately relax in
all of your muscles. Go limp.

amount of $5,000 each and cashed in
later for 12% million each.
All this grew out of the “crazy
idea” of Henry Ford, then 40 years
old and an engineer in the Edison
Illuminating company plant in De
troit, that he could build an automo
bile that a workman could afford to
buy.
Ford and the Ford Motor company
generally are credited with bringing
the moving assembly line and mass
production to the automobile indus
try. Certain it is that the golden
flood that poured from its coffers in
to the hands of the stockholders was
swollen by the sudden introduction
of mass output technique.
Several of the honorary degrees
bestowed upon Henry Ford—who, in
cidentally had something less than
an average high school education—
included citations crediting him with
“putting the world on wheels.” Oth
ers cited his philosophy of high pro
duction, low costs and high wages.

“3. Beware of fatigue and chill

“4. Don’t subject young children

“6. If polio strikes, turn to your
local chapter for Infantile Paralysis
for advice and financial assistance,
if needed.”
Dr. Van Riper points out that
the greatest source of danger for
childen from birth to adolescence,
the group in which polio is most,
likely to strike, is his own home
group where he is most likely to
use common things. The next most
likely places are schools, the movies
or other crowded areas. The least
dangerous spot for infection is the
The main thing for parents to re
member, says Dr. Van Riper, is not
to become panicky. By staying put,
even though some cases of polio |
crop up in the neighborhood, you
reduce the chances of your child
contracting the disease. In any
event, the possibility of Junior con
tracting paralytic polio is one in
150. In many instances Junior may
get a mild case of the disease and i
gain immunity through it
One final word from Dr. Van
Riper: Don’t take your child’s ton- j
sils out during the polio season.
Wait until October or November j
if it must be done.
