Deserving commendation for its
physical fitness program is the
New Bern Junior Chamber of Com
merce. Planned so comprehensive
ly that it includes boys and girls
from 8 to 17, the Jaycee promotion
has a sound foundation.
Virtually all of the Junior Cham
bers in North Carolina are spon
soring the project in their own
communities. The idea for it, as
we recall, popped up in one of the
western States a few years ago,
and quickly caught on nationally.
At first the youngsters competed
against each other, but more re
cently it has been found of greater
value to have them compete
against a standard. This method
will be employed here in New
Bern when the first phase of the

Champ Physical Fitness Event is
held at the City Recreation Center
on Monday night, February 22.
Each youngster’s score will be
recorded. Then in March the initial
score will be compared for im
provement when the boys and girls
compete again. In other words, em
phasis is being placed on making
the most of one’s own capabilities,
rather than surpassing someone
else.
Included on the agenda are push
ups, knee-bends, the 100 yard dash,
the 220 yard run, standing broad
jump, baseball throw, chinning,
weight lifting, bicycle race and the
hop, step and jump.
We’re assuming that there will
be excellent supervision. Without
it, of course, the good that can be
accomplished would be nullified.
Some of the participants may
not have further interest in ath
letics, but physical fitness for
young and old alike is a worth
while aim for us all.

basketball for Duke a gen

there’s a reason. Billy, as a

causes has been eliminated.
The VA’s contribution, which
may riot be more than 50 per cent
of the cost of the home nor in ex
cess of $j0,000, is a grant and need
not be repaid by the veteran. He
may use the money to pay part of
the cost of building a new house,
buying an existing house, or re
modeling one which he already
owns.
The house to qualify must con
tain certain desired features made
necessary because of the veteran’s
physical condition. Items required
include ramps, wide doors, larger
bathrooms and lowered light
switches. The grant is provided to
enable the veteran to have a home

An Idaho study, according to an
Associated Press story, dites similar
findings.
Not one straight-A student ques
tioned owned a car.
Only 15 per cent of the B stu
dents owned cars.
“But 41 per cent of the C stu
dents had cars and 71 per cent
of the D students. Arid what of the
failing students? A spectacular 83
per cent owned cars,’’ the account
related.
William Condit, a Los Angeles
vice-principal, observes that the
high school car owner can joy-ride
himself right out of an education.
He may wind up quitting school—
or at least athletics—to get a job
so he can keep the vehicle perk
ing.
Pupils usually find their car up
keep and operation costs much
higher than they expected.
Cars appear to stymie grades of
college students, too.
A Kansas State university psy
chologist advises freshmen to leave
their cars at home. He cites a study
which showed that freshmen with
cars tended to have lower grades
