Says Gymnast By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.PJ Other day we met a woman from Finland who figures she's found the foun tain of youth In the figure depar t m e n t anyway. She's M r s. Hilma Jalka nen. a grand mother in her 60s with the shape of a girl in her 20 s. Gay Pauley She took one look at some of our girdled and padded females and gasped. '"Pretty figures while young," she said. "But, oh my, what hap pens as they get older! "Fifteen minutes a day of the right exercise. That's all a wom an needs to keep the shape she grew up with. Mrs. Jalkanen, whose husband Hugo, is a author, is a professor in gymnastics at the University of Helsinki. She is touring with 10 of her star pupils girl gym nasts who perform with the pre cision of the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes, but hardly in the same dance style. She explained that dancing gymnastics is as much a part of a girl's education in Finland as music lessons in this country. The University of Helsinki offers a degree in gymnastics, and it is from the girls enrolled in the course that Mrs. Jalkanen has drawn her troupe. The girls were selected for their looks as well as their ability. Their director said that by the time the gymnasts had reached college level, they were spend ing at least three hours daily in practice. "But we're not building a bunch of muscles," she added hastily. "We're not training ath letes. We're training girls to be beautiful, healthy women. "There is no excuse for a fig ure growing old," she said. "If a woman would devote those few minutes to a thorough exercise program she would have no fig ure problems." The tour, underwritten by the Finnish government, has approv al of the U. S. State Department's cultural exchange program. The troupe will perform at girls' col leges as far west as Michigan and as far south as Florida, until December 10, when it returns to Helsinki.

' si ?"k 017WM TB Facts Presented By Speaker "Now we are living with tu berculosis, not dying," Kenneth Ross, executive secretary of the Oregon Tuberculosis and Public Health Asociation, stated to the executive board of the Jackson County Public Health association Friday. In summing up the public health picture of tuberculosis today, Mr. Ross pointed out both encouraging and depressing fac tors. Because of the strides made in the diagnosis of early tubercu losis, antibiotic medicines and improved surgical techniques, we no longer are resigned to the mortality statistics of "gal loping consumption" as we were formely, he said. In spite of this progress, however, tuberculosis is still a public health menace, draining both in human misery and economic figures. Also, be cause of this cheering progress, the public has become apathetic, almost indifferent in certain in stances, to the ever present dan ger of tuberculosis, he added. In 1955, in Jackson County, there were 16 new. cases of tu berculosis discovered. Of these, 15 were pulmonary. Disregard ing the upsetting factors in the human relationships where tu berculosis is present, the aver age cost of treatment of one case of tuberculosis is $15,000, which multiplied by 15, presents the very impressive figure of $225, 000. As very few families are capable of bearing the entire cost of treatment, the taxpayers and buyers of Christmas seals are paying about 90 per cent of this bill, Mr. Ross continued. In the light of these figures, it is good, as well as humanitar ian business, to make every ef fort to detect tuberculosis in its early stages, when treatment is simpler and before too much contagion has been spread, the speaker declared. Early tuberculosis has no symptoms, Mr. Ross pointed out. The only practicable way of de tecting its presence is by x-ray. It is for this reason that the pub lic health associations are right and wise in pressing the public to be x-rayed early and often. Some special groups of the pub lic have a higher percentage of tuberculosis than other groups, he further stated. Among these groups which seem to be par ticularly susceptible are preg nant women, diabetics, people living in institutions and gen eral hospital patients. Mr. Ross went on to say that these facts should be known to the people, not in order to frighten them, but to enable them to cut down the incidence of tuberculosis in their commun ity by detecting tuberculosis early, so as to save both the hu man suffering and the high cost of treating advanced tubercu losis.
