Life Expectancy of 70

Health Chief Cites Recent

Lansing, Mich.—Life expectancy
of the -average American will be
stepped up from the present age of
sixty to the “riper old age” of
seventy within the next decade.
That was the prediction of Dr.
Thomas Parran, Jr., surgeon gen
eral of the United States public
health service and president of the
American Public Health association,
who addressed the recent meeting
of the sixteenth annual state public
health conference here,
p Cites Recent Gains.
' Basing his belief on recent accom
plishments of the medical profes
sion, Dr. Parran said:
> “The advance of the past five
years is one of the most significant
events of our time. Science has giv
en us the tools. It is merely up to
us to use them.
“The battle for longevity in the
next five years will be waged on
eight fronts, Dr. Parran said, enu
merating them as follows:
' “1. Cancer, the death rate of
which he believes will be cut in half.
NEW A A U. CHIEF
Jeremiah T. Mahoney of New
York, who was elected president of
the Amateur Athletic union at its
convention, at Houston, Tex. His
election climaxed a bitter fight in
which his opponent was Patrick J.
Walsh, also of New York. Mahoney
was president a year ago when the
question of non-participation in the
Olympic games was fought. He re
fused to permit his name to be
presented for re-election after he
had been defeated in his opposition
to the Olympics. His current victory
is considered vindication of his
stand at that time. He succeeds
Avery Brundage.
“2. Infant mortality, which, he
said, should also undergo a 50 per
cent decrease.
“3. Malnutrition, in connection
with which he pointed out ‘25,000,-
000 Americans are living on a bare
margin of nutritive safety.’
“4. Pneumonia, which will be re
duced 25 per cent by early diagnosis
and sertun treatments.
“5. Social disease, for the control
of which he outlined a special pro
gram.
“6. Tuberculosis which ’will be
the next great plague to bow to
man’s ingenuity.’
“7. Sanitation and better housing,
which he said, ‘No one should be
surprised to find in a public health
program.'
“8. Mental hygiene, which he de
clared ‘overshadows everything
else.’
United Against Disease.
“No one knows,” Dr. Parran said,
“what science has in store. We
are united against death and dis
ease.”
The part the federal government
will play in the fight, through the
$13,200,000 public health provisions
of the Social Security Act will be
extensive, Dr. Parran said, and will
become even more extensive.
“It has always been argued in
some quarters,” he continued, “that
we cannot afford extended public
health services. We have always
answered that such services were
the humanitarian thing. Now in the
light of new experience we may an
swer that public health service is
the economic thing and an absolute
necessity.”

A Legend of Life
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
There is an interesting legend of
the dogwood tree which reveals life
in a process of de
velopment. We
are so used to
evaluating things
by their size or
by their material
value, we forget
the hidden
springs, the un
seen spirit. This
little legend
points * to inner
life.
The legend re
lates that once in
the long ago, the
dogwood tree
grew strong and stately as the oak.
It was the pride of the woods. When
material was needed to build the
cross upon which Jesus was
crucified, the dogwood tree sup
plied that material. From that
time, the dogwood tree was doomed
to become slender and scrubby, so

WMUI
that no longer was it the proud tree
of the forest, no longer was it used
to build a cross. For in giving itself
in that sacrifice, henceforth its blos
soms were decreed to form a cross,
and in the center of each petal, a
nail print, brown and stained with
blood, told over and over the story
of the tree stately and strong enough
to build a cross.
Only a legend, but it holds the
principle of true living. Nature re
fuses interference with her orderly
process of development. Whether
the present day dogwood tree, found
in abundance in our northern woods,
was ever molested in its early
growth is not the question. If such
were the case, the penalty is
distinctly seen by comparing its rug
ged beauty with frail beauty that
has known no bitter conflict nor
opposing forces in an orderly
growth. Beauty that gives none of
itself in the process of living and
meeting the demands of life, is ex
ternal imitation and not internal de
velopment. There is a vast difference
between a photograph and a living
face. The dogwood tree gave up its
size but released itg. strength of life
in its measure of service. In sacri
ficing a rugged exterior, the dog
wood tree made singularly sacred
its fruit which bears forever the
image of the cross. If life spends
itself in building one cross, it hence
forth knows the kinship of struggle
and the bond of indwelling purpose.
The cross has always been a sym
bol of sacrifice which is at the
heart of all achievement. Strong
character is essential to sacrifice.
We grow impatient with “small
lives” which cannot see over the
top of their own yard fence. Lives
that take all and give nothing. Lives
that ask all and answer nothing.
Lives that demand and dare nothing.
Whenever the cross of sacrifice is
eliminated from life, we grow self
ish and unhappy.
Lift the element of sacrifice np
in the crowded ways of life, and
the weary are given a place to rest,
the hungry are fed, the naked are
clothed, the sick are visited. Lift
the cross of sacrifice high op on the
altar of the heart, and life blooms In
imperi/ha ble deeds.
Strength may fail, but love never
fails. There may be physical fail
ures, but no spiritual bitterness. As
By Lydia Le Baron Walker
C ONFLICT in a family does not
always signify lack of affection.
Not by any means. Neither does the
smooth running of homelife neces
sarily indicate great love. It is true
that a combination of equanimity
and strong affection is ideal when
it does not mean that one nature
is conceding continually, while the
other is dominating. Such conditions
may be existent ,
and the one giv
ing in be so fond
of the one dom
inating, that it is
part of the pleas
ure of companion
ship to follow the
lead of one whose
judgment is con
sidered good.
The habit of such
acquiescence,
however, is sel
dom, if ever,
really satisfac
tory. Gradually
the ability to do
anything that
does not coincide
with the wishes of
the other is lost,
even though per
sonal enjoyment
i s sacrificed.
When the power
of resistance 1 s
gone, weakness of
character results.
In the meantime
the forceful na
ture gets selfish and sometimes even
tyrannical.
Two wayi °* coping with an em
bryo situation in which wishes are
•t variance, are found in conten
tions or in silences. When affection
is deep the former way is more apt
to be followed than the latter. Which
ever path is taken at first, is likely
to be continued for the two goals
art in direct opposition.
Helpful Contentions.
Where affection is strong it is a
vital matter to have a meet
ing place of understanding. It is
worth a struggle to gain it. A line
up of arguments may mean a battle
of words, some that will be sorely
regretted no doubt, but if the desire
behind the struggle is for a better
understanding, a mutual recognition
of each other’s point of view, a de
termination to find a base on which
both can rest in agreement, and
the stream of affection continue
again its placid flow, the conten
tions are worth while, though regret
table. .
The desire to have one whom
you love see your side is not un
natural, after all. A final treaty of
peace always has some terms of
concession. This is important to
remember. When affection is vital, a
rupture is unthinkable. The peace
of understanding must come.
It is when love begins to ebb,
that silence is a covert. What is
the use of trying to get another to
see your side, when it makes little
or no difference? The beautiful si
lence of good nature is of another
breed. The silence of indifference
means no verbal struggles, and a
semblance of peace. But this is
the little fir tree is the symbol of
perpetual life, so the dogwood tree
is the symbol of perpetual sacrifice:
green branches and petals that bear
the image of the cross: life and its
process of growth.

merely a camouflage. Deep down
there is no peace, merely apathy.
Affection is no longer vitaL It is
vanishing or has vanished.
Individual Freedom.
Individual freedom in a home is
made of the same stuff as is freedom
in the world without. In a sense each
person in either place rates his or
her freedom, yet the truth of the
statement “No man liveth to him
self alone” is of outstanding im
port. It is when freedom to pursue
individuality does not run counter
to the best good of the family as a
whole, or of the world of persons, in
which world each is an integral
part, that there can be any proper
individual freedom in either place.
So closely knit is the fabric of home
life and of the outer world that each
person has the profound responsibil
ity of living to himself yet not to
himself alone.
Young people of a family often
feel irritated when counseled
against certain proposed actions, or
when they are advised to do other
things which they wish not to do.
They firmly stand their ground of
assertion that they should do just
as they like saying, “We have our
own lives to live." Certainly it la
an indisputable fact that no person
can live another’s life, but this does
not signify that a life ia lived to
itself alone. No action ia so trifling
that the influence of it does not
reach beyond the person taking the
action, so living one’s own life has
its complexities.
