Right Exercise
Keeps Figures.
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.

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. Are you called on occasionally i
