X “Know How Much You Can Take 99 Is Advice Of Winthrop Physical Education Head To Devotees Of Physical Fitness >— Suggests Sensible Ways Of Keeping In ‘Trim’. (By Julia H. Post, Professor of Physical Education, Winthrop College.) We are hearing a great deal these days about the necessity for ^ nation, go to your physician and have a thorough check-up. Ask his advice as to the types of ac tivities best suited to you. Remember that physical fitness can only be attained. through the maintenance of a “sound mind in a sound body”. One’s mental state is as important as firm muscles and good digestion in efficient living. Worry and nervousness can undo all the good effects of any “system” of exercise. Become informed concerning the most effective means of pre venting the spread of infectious diseases, including colds, and do your part in keeping your commu nity in good health. Learn how to eat wisely and to select your food so as to main tain good nutrition. Physical fit ness is impossible without ade quate fuel to supply in the form, of good food. Try to find some activity which will take you out of doors. One hour a day out of doors would be possible in anyone’s budget of time and is little enough to give in the service of one’s country. Choose an activity which offers a challenge to you. Do not be satisfied with being a “dub” golfer, but go into it with the idea of be coming as good a player as possi- Spring Rally Of American Legion In Columbia Mar. 4 . .... . — The mental, stimulation Mr. J.

There are two reasons for this emphasis. In peace times only six out of a hundred school children are provided with the opportunity for regular physical examinations. The percentage is correspondingly lower for adults. In war times large numbers of men and women who are going into various forms of service are examined in considerable detail and we are startled by the revela tions of the apparent physical un fitness of our population. Also, in war time we become increasingly aware of the need for physical fitness as a basis for better citi zenship. In periods of emergency, such as the present, it is the patriotic duty of every citizen to keep him self in the best possible physical condition in order to be ready for the demands made upon him. Efficient citizenship can only be possible for individuals who are physically fit. Also, it becomes a patriotic duty to keep oneself in the best possible physical condi tion in order to decrease the de mand made by the civilian popu- ; ture will do much literally to “make a new man of you”. Remember that the ability to relax is an iijiportant factor in keeping oneself fit. The high tension under which most of us find ourselves causes more physi cal harm than many other factors. Teach yourself how to relax and make a practice of allowing for a period of relaxation every day. If you do not already have one, adopt a hobby. There is nothing that will prove more helpful in taking your mind off worries of income tax returns, depressing war news, and the like, than an absorbing hobby. If you are in a sedentary occupation, make that hobby one that will take you out al president of the auxiliary w Columbia, Feb. 23.—With Lyrin U.

We would much prefer to push a button and have good health just as we have ac quired the habit of pushing but tons for satisfying many of the needs of our every day life. We are constantly seeking for an easy way out. Six lessons from Madam Lazonga has come to be an ex pression of our general attitude toward attaining the ends which we desire. We have become un willing to take the longer way and thus acquire more permanent and lasting results. .Many systems of training are being proposed at the present *’me for acquiring physical fitness. Each proponent of a system of exercises claims for his particular system the maximum of body building with the minimum of the use of the motor car may come through the necessity of provid ing recreation within the home for all members of the family. Look to your posture. Try to make your carriage more erect. Keeping your head up will help to keep your morale up. A nation with heads up cannot be a de feated nation. Remember that it is your patri otic duty to keep yourself in the best physical and mental condi tion in order that you may con tribute your share of Vim and Vitality for Victory. xx Wants Men For Mechanical Trades £ & address this gathering after the banquet.
