10 The Newa-Revlcw, Roieburg, Ore. Thurs., Pw. 8, 19491 Doctor ClailTIS Working Girls Handicapped If You're Trying To Lose Weight, Wrestle With Sunday Newspaper By HAL BOYLE 1 NEW YORK (IP) If you are trying to lose weight, don't over look reading a good Sunday newspaper. This la the cheapest and best lorm of exercise available to modern man. It not only tones your mind. It ta:;cs away noppy at , ana replaces It with firm, solid muscle. Lilting barbells can be danger ous. If one slips and falls It can bury your toes an Inch deep in the flooring. Tennis, handball, and bowling are sometimes too strenuous for the middle-age frame. And they are forms of ex ercise that require taking a Jour ney. 1 For the home-loving man who wants to keep fit, however, noth ing beats reading a king-size Sun day newspaper. It'll tune you up like a tiger, and you'll wake up Monday morning refreshed and eager for the week's work. I learned this lesson some 13 years ago. I was feeling weak and run down. Anything that re quired energy was anathema. It chanced that I complained of this lassitude to an elderly ac- ?ualntanee I met in the New ork public library. "Feel my muscles," he said, curling his arm. I did. They were WINDOWS DOORS FRAMES PAGE LUMBER & FUEL 164 E. 2nd Ave S. Phone 'M2 like colled springs. "Now feel my stomach." It was like a brick wall. , "How do you keep in such fine shape at your age?" I Inquired. "Very simple. I read all the Sunday newspapers. That is the finest kind of workout for the muscles." Then he gave me a list of ex ercises and cautioned: "Don't overdo it by trying to lift the paper all at once." This was unnecessary advice. When I tried to bring in the newspapers the following Sun day, I found I couldn't budge them. I tied a rope around them and dragged them In with the help of my wife. At first I could only lift one section at a time. As my biceps thickened I found I could muscle a tabloid overhead with one hand. Still working with tabloids I started building up my stomach muscles. My wile, Tances, wouia Dile section after section on my abdomen. At the end of the year I could lie there and take the whole weight of a new Sunday New York Times on my tensed stomach and still breathe. Two years after I began this WASHINGTON. (VP) -- A child specialist claims that some of the habits that make a girl a good employe sometimes handi cap her in being a good mother. Young women ai;e no longer reared for the main purpose of Leo Kanner of Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, said in a pa per for an American Medical asoclatlon meeting. "Most girls nowadays are prepared for a vo cation." That can be very good, Dr. Kan ner said, and can enrich married life. "But very often the Job puts a firemium on punctuality, meticu ousness and perfectionism which it often becomes impossible for the mother to shake off when dealing with her children. "Especially the first-born child of the secretary, the salesgirl, the factory piece worker, the labora tory tecnnician, me iiDrarian or the nurse gets the whole brunt of this tense perfectionism, be ing more or less a substitute for the typewriter, the cash register, the machine, the test tube, the book shelf or the medicine cab Returned Writer Says Russians Love Americans BESTSELLER Try Him othw popular Port.r AT GROCERS preowti-SpogluHl, Hom-iiyl. noaam, KUSLI-O, Salad.M.i and SMihill macaroni. , EVERYWHERE systematic exercise I had slim med down 20 pounds and could hold a Sunday newspaper over head in eacn nana. Aiier mat i tapered off. But whenever I found my ab domen getting slack I could quickly renew my strength by a careful workout with the Sab bath bath press. Now I usually take these exercises only about twice a year. Christmas Test Passed ' ' The big test is on the Christ mas season editions. I passed It this year with flying colors. I started at 9 a.m., weighing 195 pcunds on the bathroom scales. For an hour I loosened up with body press lifts of the dally News and the New York Mirror, both tabloids. Then I stretched out on the floor and told Frances: t "Pile 'em on." She dropped the tabloids on my taut stomach. Then she added the new Herald Tribune. Nert, with the help of a neighbor, she managed to lift the 324-page New York Times and put it on. My stomach sagged toward my back bone, but I cried: . . "Now the Manhattan telephone directory." ' "I'rh afraid," she ' murmured. "It might kill you." "No, go ahead," I cried through clenched teeth. She put on the directory. 1 held the whole mass for a mo ment, then rolled aside to keep from being crushed as it topped over. When I got up and stepped on the bathroom scales I weighed 190 five pounds less. Ydu, too, can be panther strong by following this regime with the Sunday newspapers. But don't exercise before an open window. They may blow apart and strangle you. The blowing of big conch-shell horns takes the place of church bells in Kyoto, Japan.

IRON LUNG FOR WAR SHOCK DENVER UP) The U.S. Navy Is sponsoring a pulsating cham ber as a possible life-saver for men wounded during sea battles. The idea is to shove a man, close to dying of shock, into one of these chambers, wfth nnsur ance that he will be kept alive al most automatically until sur geons can attend him. Shoqk is one of the commonest causes of quick death from battle wounds. Plasma escapes into tissues and lowers blood pressure. Hearts may not get enough blood to pump and a man may faint be cause of lack of enough blood in his brain. The chamber, known as the Thunberg apparatus, is like an iron lung.

Sales of textiles, foodstuffs, cig arettes and other gcwte skyrocket ed. Rumors of Impending cur rency stabilization moves have been current for some time. But the buying rush got going after the Voice of America radio broad cast a report that the Bulgarian state bank was refusing to change Romanian currency. The government controlled press denied that any currency revaluation moves are Dlannerl. The leu was devalued in 1947 when the government decreed that 20,000 leu should have the value of one leu. The official rate now sets 100 leu as equivalent to 6.7 U. S. cents.
