curity.
2. Watch your diet. As the
years pass you usually need less
food, and there is some shift in
nutritional requirements. You
need more protein, vitamins and
fluids, hut fewer fats and oal
ories. No one can feel young
and peppy when he’s carrying
extra weight. It’s not only tir
ing, it’s a threat to your health.
If you need to lose weight, see
your physician. He can estab
lish a proper diet by which you
will lose weight without missing
out on important nutrients.
3. Get adequate rest. Both
mind and body need peace and
quiet to recoup from the rigors
of the day. Know your limita
tions and avoid over-exertion
and strain, both physically and
mentally. Excessive emotional
tension can wear you down, too,,
so take each job as it comes; not
everything at once. Plenty of
rest can help you see 'things in
their proper perspective, and a
sense of humor is your best anti
dote for tension.
4. Pursue physical exercise.
The mark of an “old” person is
creaking joints, aching backs and
a myriad of complaints. Keep
all your body parts in good
working order by using them.
Frequent and planned exercise—
moving the lawn, a brisk walk
•HR CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. JUNE 25. 1964.
! MUM IS THE WORD—With a brother and sister who
i have mummies on their mind, a guy is likely to get
i wrapped up in his playing. That’s what happened in San
Rafael, Calif.
to work, a round of golf, a re
freshing swim, or even a game
of croquet—will give you a zest
ful epjoyment of life.
5. Fill your days with produc
tivity. The quickest way to "old
age” is through boredom. So
keep up' your interest in your
work aqd your surroundings. |
By doing a good job and taking
pride in your work, your enthus
iasm for living will belie your
years.
6. Participate in community
affairs. Some people pursue the
luxury of . fussing and fretting
about themselves at. home alone.
But, if you want to be among
the happest people—the doers—
share your time and talents with
such things as raising funds for
charity, getting out the vote and
participating in programs for
civic improvement.
7. Frepare for your future.
Another shortcut to “old age”
is worry—and worry, besides
putting you in an unpleasant
fame of mind, can sometimes
lead to illness. Many worries
about tomorrow can be avoided 1
if you plan today and budget
j for your future financial needs
with such things as insurance
and savings programs.

of course, the conversation im

"Why in tarnation is there so

According to John Jobs on,.
