HOW THE SELF HELP PLA\
IN COLLEGE WILL BENEFIT
THE HEALTH OF COLLEGE
STUDENTS
(By Dora Bunton, It N.)
Health it an instrument which
enables one to live successfully
with himself and hia neighbor.
Only ill isolated cases is health
accidental, therefore, a truly edu
cated man or woman must hare
knowledge of the scientific facts
which underlie health.
We find that often health as
an abstract or as a physical ideal
does not appeal to the young col
lege men and women of to-day
but ca? be made to do so if used
as an aid in achieving undertak
ing In which they are vitally in
terested. The self-help plan has
proven most beneficial In develop
ing that factor.
Students entering college are
being released from the guidance
of parents and associates and put
thsir own control, therefore. It is
Important that there Is interest- j
lng, simple, and authoritative
health statements available. Much
time is being spent on organising
materials that will accord with the ,
specific needs of our college stu
dents and familiarise them with
the work of various occupational
disease Bureaus.
Health depends so largely upon
Wisdom and self-management that
It is ordinarily an individual re
sponsibility and through the achi
evements of the self-help plan the
students are enabled to become
familiar with thd effects of work
ing environment, gn health.
Control of the mind and its
relation to the body has become
of dominating importance in stu
dent health. Cheerfulness and con
fidence are tremenduous factors
in role of happiness 1. e. they act
like tonics to give courage and
inspiration for the care of life,
therefore, It Is important to create
In the student a feeling of per
sonal worth *nd a desire to do
things well, carrying the thought
of health and happiness into the
actual work of each d?y.

To Retire Un
worthy Vehicles
Detroit. Mich. Jan. 2. ? Chev
rolet Motor Company started the
new year with a >1,000,000 co
operative plan to help move its
dealers' stocks of used cars, and
to retire unworthy vehicles from
the highways of the country, it
was announced here today by M.
E. Coyle. president and general
manager of the company.
Beginning on New Year's Day
and continuing throughout Jan
uary, Mr. Coyle said, two impor
tant special activities run concur
rently.
First: Chevrolet will pay to the
dealer 120.00 for every old auto
mobile (accepted in trade on a
new or used car) that he disposes
of by scrapping or junking.
Second: Chevrolet will pay a
bonus to salesman whose efforts
enable their dealership to sell
more used cara In January than
it sold in the same month of 1935.
Announcement of the aggres
sive plan of promoting the sale
of worthy used cars and ridding
the market of unworthy ones that
clog the sales channels of both
used and new cara, reveals that
Chevrolet, which during the last
twelve months has vigorously at
tacked the used car merchandis
ing problems of its dealers, in
tends to carry on through 1936
not only with the methods that
have already proved successful,
but with new and bolder plans.
Mr. Coyle disclosed the plan
when be was asked what lay be
fore the automotive iadustry In
the new year. After briefly re
I viewing 1935. commenting on its
! $25,000,000 expansion of Chev
I rolet production facilities, and Its
! increased sales of cars and trucks,
Mr. Coyle declared that the pro
gress made by Chevrolet in the
past year In raising the standards
of used car merchandising wan
probably the most noteworthy de-1
velopment from the point of view i
: of the dealer.
, "Under W. E. Holler, vice pre
sident and general sales manager."
said Mr. Coyle, "Chevrolet has
instituted two outstanding deve
lopments that have greatly reliev
? ed the used car problem of the;
dealer. The 'Guaranteed OK Tag'!
that Chevrolet dealers are per-|
mifted to attach to a used car
only If It has been thoroughly re
conditioned. and company adver
tising of used cars in national
magaiines and in local newspap
er*. were two important forward
steps taken during the year just
ended.
"It is now our objective " to
i maintain used car sales at as high;
a level during January as they!
have been since the new cars
were introduced. The drive we
are putting on now Is bound to!
have a wholesome effect through-,
out the entire dealer organiza-:
tion. and to promote their sales'
of used cars during a season when
I used-car movement is most de-i
sirable."
